Pirate Booty

A year ago when I heard the word pirate I used to think about college kids stealing music and movies off of the Internet. Now I think Somalians in speed boats jacking ships and freighters in the Indian Ocean. WTF. Somebody has seen one to many Captain Jack Sparrow movies. Some people actually think it is cool that the Somalis are jacking boats. Apparently they believe Somalis are so poor that jacking other peoples stuff is okay. It is not. If you had a car full of stuff and I had nothing and jacked you for it would that be okay. Probably not.

And what is it with the pirate's display of outrage because the US Navy blasted those pirates that kidnapped Captain Phillips? They kidnapped him and held him at gunpoint. That is get your ass shot by the Navy behavior if it ever existed. So now the pirates want to shoot at more American vessels. Okay, but be advised pirates, the U.S. is prideful and prone to overreact. If you keep this behavior up we will not only kick some pirate booty, but we'll probably bomb Somalia as well for not doing more to keep this stuff from happening.

So in the great debate of pirates v. ninjas, I choose ninjas.
