SO... the 2 million dollars these dorks wanted was for marine habitat reconstruction? cmon.
I said that too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
After drinking some kool aid now I'm here to report that everything is as has been explained to us. Somalians are just evil people who just haven't learned to share their pristine oceanfront. It was never their main source of livelihood and trade nor was it their only source of sustenance - they actually import bon bon's from Germany and red wine from Italy - backstabbing bastards biting the hand that feeds them!
The waring tribal faction running things right now is obviously not in it for control or anything other than to bring the maniacle citizenry in line...and would never sell out to under the table business deals with European Corps in order to fund their operations. What's $1K a ton or $2.50 a ton? - pocket change either way. Investigations into these matters are absolutely PREPOSTEROUS!!!!!!
......
These pirates, who have obviously developed a skill and a new line of work - were at one time fishermen. But when you sell fish from a cesspool - you tend to not sell as many. The coast used to be the livlihood of HUNDREDS of thousands of people. Fishermen banded together, co-opted fighters from their civil war, and went to work.
All to say while we sit hear ranting 'F*** Em All' on our keyboards, they're saying the same thing on their way to another freighter.
This tin foiler has taken it way to far eh? (or as one here has expertly concluded before - 'Photoshopped') <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
