    The hulls on the Thai built pirate boats are secured with string. There'll be no pain....

    nooooo they hold too good (granney knots), just sealing wax (as used long ago to seal letters or add ones signet imprint) - looks better and more "official-like":D:p:eek:

    No matter string, sealing wax or what so ever holds them together. As long as they are Thai built Cat´s, I´m sure the effect RHP had in mind will be seen.
    And yes we should pray for them!
    We should pray for all of them!
    No matter pirate or pirated.
    As long as they are on the ocean in such a Cat, we shall prey. (some to be drown, some to survive)

    You ****** were supposed to strongly oppose the shitty suggestion I offered in my previous post.

    This is the problem. The world does not learn and choose to forget what happened yesterday. Tomorrow those poor pirates may rule the world, since it seems no one take any steps against them, and they will go from strength to strength and will soon become a force to recon with. Wait until they have an army to defend their activities.

    The whole world expects the US to do something about it. The rest sit around with folded arms and with a **** attitude, ready to condemn the US for whatever steps they take.

    What is wrong with countries in todays time. If someone steals your boat it's a friggin declaration of war. Get over there, take your own back, and make sure they won't even think about it again never mind trying to.

    If you justify one crime, you must justify them all. You either strengthen the pillar you stand on or destroy it completely and live with the consequences. You cannot have a poor foundation and expect a building to remain upright.

    Get rid of th fcukers once and for all.

    Yeah Fanie, you´re so right...............

    except for the US part. No one can wait for them, no one gets old enough to see them act properly. There is no oil you know.
    And nobody did wait for them. Other Navy´s are doing the job already (well US do part of it).
    But now we have the problem of acting "politically correct". Instead of hunting the vultures we should burn the nest, but then you´ll see the world whining about the innocent eggs we destroyed.

    yeahh...

    I appologise for desagreeing Richard. If they were doing their job, then how come it even makes the news on how well it goes with them. And a pirate being into this business for twenty years ? Phew. We're missing something here.

    If the pirates does not act politically correct why should any one else ? You cannot restrict yourself if it is to the advantage of the criminal opposition, seems it enhances them instead. The swear word is human rights and political correct actions, the pirates will absolutely abuse it to get away with murder.

    I'd like to stomp on a few of those pirates eggs :D I wonder why they won't burn the nest and the aggs... are they scared there won't be any pirates left to frustrate the future generations or what :D Also seems to me they have enough oil and funding to keep doing all this for an extended period of time.

    I believe American Law still allows a captain to hang pirates from the yard. They should at least fit a mast with a yard arm to let the captains do their job.

    They are not allowed to stop the pirates without going through all kinds of legalize.

    Wire rope lasts longer. Grease it with pig fat to ward off corrosion.

    I don't know who sits in their air con offices in safety and makes these rules of conduct. Maybe one should get these guys out there to see / experience for themselves.
