The Sumali Pirate Situation

America is in no way responsible for the mess that Somalia is in. Are there problems there? Certainly. Does that give them an excuse to resort to piracy and rob and kill whenever they want without consequence? NO.

How are you supposed to help a country being run by a bunch of warlords and criminals who take you hostage and try to get a ransom for you every time you go there? Criminals who kill, take hostages, and every other detestable thing imaginable do not deserve to be rewarded for their crimes under any circumstances. There are people in that country that deserve help, but not the thieves and murderers.

They're criminals. They attacked an innocent US ship, and took the captain hostage. If you think that means the US should reward them with millions of dollars so that "everyone's a winner" you're being stupid.

Edit:
But, yeah, it is. We've destroyed their professions (fishing, hence why they have the boats) so now they can't get any money. The only reason they've resorted to piracy is because NOBODY helped them. If we did help them, they wouldn't of had to become pirates. But because of the greedy times we live in, the western world decided to keep their money and fap over it instead of doing something to help their fellow man. So, if my neighbor doesnt help me pay my bills, it's ok for me to kill him for his money? Oh, and I'm going to need to see your references if I'm going to believe that 'America killed Somalia's fish'.

The ONE time I agree with this man,exactly right.
I have to agree... kudos to Laihendi and his common sense.

Egypt also got two ships captured, I think. Funny, If it were you who were starving to death, you wouldn't talk like that, all of you. and really, If you read between the lines, you would understand that they seem like they don't want to do this, but are forced.
I thought you were a religious nut. You sounded like something like a Muslim Fundamentlist.
Do NOT go there.
They have motorboats and machine guns.
Real pirates have galleons and cannons.
Any more on this and you are likely to insult my religion and all it stands for. And that's a bad thing.
I also agree with L33tsauce on everything he's said in this thread.
How can your religion have anything to do with pirates?

A lot. Check the link in my profile to find out how.
Edit: The video about halfway down the previous page is fun.

Yeah nice one, ignore the point.
THEY'VE RESORTED TO THAT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HELP THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Would you like me to make it more obvious?
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-04/10/content_11159835.htm
The U.S. freight ship is carrying 232 containers of food distributed by The United Nations' World Food Program (WFP) -- more than 4,000 tons of corn-soya blend for malnourished children and mothers in Somalia and Uganda and nearly 1,000 tons of vegetable oil for refugees in Kenya, according to Peter Smerdon, a WFP spokesperson.
So there you go, according to this, the American ship was there with the purpose of providing food for the Somalians... to help them. Yet, you think it's excusable for pirates to attack it, take the captain hostage, ignore the food, and try to make some easy cash off of him.

Well, I have to agree with you on one thing, that teaching creationism is rubbish, we all know evolution (which doesn't mean that there is no God) is the way to go. But I have to ask you this, what gives you the right to mock religious people and their beliefs? I can understand criticizing, but mocking...
I think that this is one of the your problems, you just don't know when to draw the line between freedom of speech/the right to criticize and insulting.
