Dealing with pirates

Frosty,

Try the little red pills mate, makes me feel better too......

 

Think of this... The big well known banks, Goldman Sachs, JPM, and HSBC are fraudulently stealing as much as they want from the LBMA gold market which turns over 4.5 trillion every year and no one believes the facts of the matter... HUMANS ARE STUPID, BLIND and vulnerable to any half wit scheme that someone only just a little bit brighter can think up, and will always be so - pirates are less than a minor scratch in the global scheme of things...

I have a liking for the little multicoloured ones with a chocolate flavour and a good bottle of cheap red wine...

 

Rule Brittania!

 

My friend, what are you bothering with the bloody ******* details of killing, or entering ships.
It wa ALL said a century ago.............

Richard

 

That was uncalled for Richard, please edit your post.

 

It's true. Just putting in perspective something which do not make sense.
I am glad you are back, I missed you.
Hope your internet is working now.

Just pay the ransom - - or - - Join the pirates... WTF??? - - The sensible thing is to stay away from where they operate...

 

You get a point. The Ocean are large, why going so close to shore?
As I continue to thinK: something is not adding up in the story.

I agree with you Daniel --I really do,-- something is wrong with this as you say. Richard has already explained to us that we are waisting our time and he has had the last word on this. As you can see he gets very angry when people don't do as they are told

We are not allowed to discuss Zis any more.

 

That means instead of Suez go around Africa.

Somali pirates already go as far east as the Maldives and south beyond Madagascar and will go further if necessary.

So avoiding the Indian Ocean and cross the Pacific and the Atlantic to go from China to Europe is your solution in the long run?

Cheers!

Just like a medieval castle siege. What they used would work here. For someone boarding a large ship, a bucket of rocks dropped would do the trick. As far as I know, no country has "Rock Control" , or a "Rock registry." Lack of imagination on the part of pirate victims may be the problem.

 

Would you do that if there is a rocket launcher aimed at your bridge?

There are three things you can do IMHO:

1) Be better armed than the pirates (links have already been passed here).

2) Have a safe room on board and hope it will stand till there is a navy ship to free you.

3) Do something in the countries where the pirates have their bases.

#2 is only a short term option since the pirates will prepare themselves for that kind of barriers in the future.

Cheers!

PS

Sorry, I forgot the fourth option; only sail in a gale cause the pirates won't board then!

 

So rather than take care of business we should just avoid Africa all together and let it go to rot. Not a bad idea.

 

I told just above your post how I would take care of this business, so don't give the impresion that I wouldn't.

You obviously haven't understood what I meant, so unfortunately it is not given to you do so on your own. (or are you a bit trollish because we disagree on a other thread?)

What I said is that the consequence in the long run of staying out of pirate range (what was suggested) is to avoid the Indian Ocean which is not an option I think.

Too bad you think so . . .

Regards,
Angel
