Matusalem Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Somethings never change....just the time & place. I find it ironic that the victim was the vessel MV Miltzow...hailing from the same place as the filming of 'Pirates of the Caribbean 1' http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051013/ap_on_.../somalia_piracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capnwilliam Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Those guys certainly personify "A short life and a merry one"...yeah right. I'D give 'em a short life; let them worry about the merry part! Shipmates, we can play the pirate game because it's fun; but remember that these guys are not playing games, they are for real. People who are preying on honest seafarers, murdering and raping and stealing, deserve a quick death. Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

Rumba Rue Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Want to know the difference between old time pirates and new ones? Their guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnwilliam Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Want to know the difference between old time pirates and new ones?Their guns. Yer right, Rumba Rue! And that's my point exactly. The pirates of old, like the pirates of today, were not / are not admirable people at all. We merely choose to paint a romanticized version of them; as we do with Old West gunslingers, or sometimes, modern mobsters. (Don Corleone was a far more moral man than most corporate or government mangers! But I doubt that REAL gangsters are anywhere near as scrupulous as this reel one). As long as we understand that we are admiring a romanticized version of the real scumbags, it's O.K. Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
