The right to life includes the right to self defense, and the right to self defense includes as a corollary the right to the tools of self defense.
Bet I can find some vague bollocks proving the opposite. Btw, divinity is a meme in my opinion. On the other hand, was it not the son of god who told us to turn the other cheek.

You mean peace did never exist on the cradle of civilization?
What an odd thing to say. Maybe we should never have raised above stone age

To the moderators: Maybe this thread should be moved to out of topic forum. I am the OP and never intended this to be out of the the parameters that relate guns on boats but obviously most posts have nothing to do with it. There are some interesting political posts here and the thread is interesting but not here.

Btw, I do not believe there are many americans left who fought in WW2 and why should I be grateful to someone who happens to be born in the same country as someone who fought in a war 20 years before I was born?
I don't understand why it's so difficult for some americans to abide by the laws of other countries. If a country's population does not wish people to carry guns then why is it so difficult not to carry a gun into that country? If it were mandatory to carry a gun when going to a country, I would avoid that country.
Son, you need to read up on your history a little more, the soviets _didn't_ have the Nazis "on their knees" before we joined the war, in fact, they were losing millions of people on the eastern front and getting their azzes handed to them. The siege of Leningrad lasted until January of 1944. And a big part of the reason that they were able to break out of Russia and start the march west was because of our years long, almost constant bombing of German material, transport and military assets. Please, get your facts straight before you make yourself look (more) silly. Oh, and you should care, because you would probably be speaking German right now, instead of your native language (if you would have even been born), if we hadn't came in with our "unwilling" soldiers. You are truly a piece of work, sir. Truly.

I don't doubt your intentions, but really ... what did you think would happen when you posted about (not) taking your guns for a cruise?

Criminals are immoral, not guns. The police use guns to stop the bad guys thus guns are good.

US President Wilson and Lloyd George of England were against the harsh treatment of the Germans since they knew, in their wisdom, that it would affect the rebuilding of Germany and create hatred among the German people for their ultimate national and economic destruction. However reluctantly, they still signed the decree. Ultimately, Wilson and George were correct as History unfolded and it was the spite, hatred and fear of Germany by the French, not the US, that caused the emergence of Hitler and ultimately WWII. Good luck. Dr. Rognvald, Professor Emeritus Cruisers University.
For perspective, by their own standards, the Treaty of Versailles was very mild for Germany.

If you want to see a really bad and offensive Treaty, look at what Germany imposed on Russia in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, 3 March 1918.

The Treaty of Versailles was blown out of all proportion by the Nazis, but I say that as someone who would have also been in favour of an even milder one.

It also needs to be borne in mind that Kaiser Bill had been feeling his oats and itching for trouble for a very long time, and it was his grandmother Queen Victoria that had kept him pretty much in line. and restrained him from embracing too much stupid, for a very long time.

I never said before you got into the war, I said specifically before you started fighting in europe. Maybe you should check your facts. before making yourself look like an idiot.

They don't get "pulled over".
Commercial vessels generally have only one person keeping watch on the bridge. The skiffs used by the pirates do not show up on radar, (IF it is being adequately monitored).
The pirates are adept at climbing aboard undetected. They then overpower enough key personnel to take command of the ship.
European navies deploy in a multinational task force in the Red Sea/Indian Ocean region where they have all but eradicated the piracy that was once rife there. There is also a multinational European naval presence in the Mediterranean involved in a humanitarian operation to save the lives of tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from the chaos in the Middle East that was initiated by the inept meddling of the Bushes, father and son, in Iraq.

Yeah right, try and come up with something new for a change. That phrase is old and hollow. Police in the uk do not carry guns, still they do a better job than the police in the us.

Anyway I hope the OP realizes that he's replaced the nice Tshirt ads with boring ads for gun holsters in the side panel. :-(
I seem to be getting loads of adverts for cruises now! lmao!

If the bastards really ARE after you, it's not paranoia you feel!

So the real questions are why are there so many bastards out to "get" America? Why is Pax Americana an "Empire of Fear"?

And let's be very careful to maintain the conceptual distinction twixt "Murrica" and "Americans"

What bothers me about the OP's message is the term "Rigorous Imprisonment"

WTH does THAT mean?
That's what the Indian Legal System calls "Hard Labour"

Ok, so when did we start fighting in Europe, and when exactly were the soviets kicking Hitlers butt? Enlighten me on your knowledge, I am always eager to learn new things.
