The Autobiography of Malcom X is one of the greatest American novels. We should all remember to thank Playboy Magazine for sponsoring the writing of that book.

Shouldn't we all be able to carry rocket-propelled grenades in case we're attacked by terrorists flying hang-gliders?

NOW THAT ANOTHER NUCLEAR ATTACK IS EMINENT WE SHOULD ALL GET MONEY FROM TAXES TO BUILD ATOMIC SHELTERS BETTER THAN OUR HOMES. ON TOP OF THEM FOR SAKE OF MODERNITY. WAIT, CARRY GUNS TO UNI, NO...SHELTERS.

I HEARD IT ALL ON FOX NEWS BLAME THEM. I KNOW, I GET IT, IT`S A DURTY JOB AND SOME ONES GOTTA DO IT, BUT STOP DUMBING DOWN ALL THE CONTINENT SO HARD.

The only good pirate is a dead pirate. Although I think that sailing a multi-million dollar yacht into pirate laden waters is pretty stupid. But I don't think the sailors deserved to die. Line the pirates up at the railing of the boat and shoot them. Or toss them overboard and see if they can swim to shore.

These so-called "pirates" came up after foreign private commercial fishing fleets illegally poached the local fish populations to the point that Somali fishers can't make a living, foreign manufacturers dumped waste in Somali waters, and numerous other maritime offenses and violations of Somali territorial waters.
What we actually have here is a citizen's Coast Guard, made up of skilled sailors whose occupations have been made impossible by the crimes of wealthy foreigners and the local government's inability/unwillingness to protect their interests.
If you are able to believe you'd do any different (provided you'd even have the skills and nerve required), I stand in awe of your capacity for self-delusion and/or cringing cowardice.

I might kidnap them and their boats, but I damned sure wouldn't kill them and then try to surrender. If you kill your detainees, what do you get except probable extermination.

Please wait...
