Proper Way to Deal with Pirates?

[Cheechako]

Why are the Israelis and Russians so good at this type of thing while the resto fo us sit around and talk..... Ananova - Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises

[TaoJones]

Cheech, seriously, you had to know this was BS when you read this in the body of the report:

"The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya."

It makes it sound like Djibouti is a city in Somalia, when it is actually a country that borders Somalia. Are you sure you didn't get this out of The Onion or Mad magazine?

I like paradigms.... hunt the hunters! Of course i'm a proponant of having "advocates" for hunted mammals. it works like this, you can either buy a hunting license and hunt deer, or you can buy a permit to be a deer advocate. As a deer advocate, you get to hide in the bush, and when you see a hunter taking aim, you take him down. It should b e acceptable to the real "he men" because there is no real challenge in shooting a docile deer with your $3000, accurate at 500 yards, rifle now days any way. This would be much more exciting!
Oh...OK....Back to the pirates: It came out of the weekly marine report. http://www.fort-lauderdale-marine-di...y.com/news.php

How interesting, I wonder what would happen if the Pirate hunters got taken, hostage? How would they live that down.

Gut 'em and hang 'em from your spreaders as a warning to the rest...


Might be a bit messy and odorous though.

The cruise ship trolls along the Somali coast looking for a piratre attack: you can rent an AK-47 for $9.00 per day and shoot at the pirates when they try to board the ship and take you hostage...Great idea, and top it off with some real Russian vodka and perhaps a real blond Russian "escort".

The cost is $3,500.00 per day, a bit pricey, but no more boring bingo and mai-tai crusies, and it will hopefully clean the world of some pirate vermin.

I'm thinking of applying to get the ticketing rights amongst the boating fraternity. I should be able to pay cash for that new Gunboat within the next 12 months.

I can help you with that Neelie.
I was just invited to a conference on piracy in Yemen last wed. the guest presenters were from the Italian Coastguard and Selex an Italian defense type company that is ready to sell you that Gunboat with all the latest tech.
It’s all very real.
