Forehead Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I guess the pirates better proceed with caution, huh? Shelly Booth Bishop isn't going to let them overegg the pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Awesome idea if there are people willing to do it. If the pirates figure out that some boats are armed and ready to fight, they might think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I find it funny reading some of the posters who like this idea. Pretty sure that the Bible that some of you often quote or get worked up over would have a huge problem with this sort of thing. I guess I could be wrong though.

I guess I could be wrong though. Pretty sure the Bible doesn't bring up Somalian pirates attacking unnarmed ships. I don't think God would have a problem with some of these people defending themselves. Like many have said the idea isn't to open fire on the pirates, if that were the case then I wouldn't really agree with it, but is to take a ride through the area, if attacked, fight back.

jpillian Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm much less concerned regarding the actual killing of the pirates, than the sociopathic behavior of those signing up for the venture. Parallels would be folks paying money to put down animals (for say animal control) or to have the "privilege" of being the "executioner" at a lawful execution. Things that need to be done, but shouldn't be looked upon as sport/entertainment. I'm much more concerned as to what else such people would do for kicks?

GoSkins561 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 And these rich tourists are trained? I doubt the people running the boat would let them use a rocket launcher lest someone blows a hole in the boat. Your acting as if the crew from The Minnow are going on a hunting cruise. I am willing to bet a lot of these people probably fire guns on a regular basis, some probably ex-military. How about a 'hunting safari' in US cities? Drive your SUV to a bad part of town and cruise around in the hope of getting carjacked, and then slaughter the attackers.Is it certain that they will only shoot if the pirates shoot first? I doubt it. We have laws / rehab / prison for law breakers. The Somalis 1. do not have a government to enforce the laws the pirates break 2. The Pirates do not have anyone to enforce the law for lets say shooting grenade launchers at cruise ships carrying thousands of innocent people I find it funny reading some of the posters who like this idea.Pretty sure that the Bible that some of you often quote or get worked up over would have a huge problem with this sort of thing. I guess I could be wrong though. The Bible doesn't have a problem with defending and fighting evil. David vs. Goliath comes to mind. Nice try tough. If your moral compass is based soley on the law, well nevermind. In all fairness the pirate thing is getting out of control. We have two options 1. wait for many years for some government or the UN:laugh: (yeah right) to take action or 2. Vigilantes can take care of the problem at this point #2 seems like the best option. Don't forget they are hijcking shipments (cargo boat loads aka thousands of lbs of food) full of humanitarian aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubstix Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Can someone please post a link on where you can register and take this trip? I got a buddy who also would like to do the same or at least look into it. This is good stuff. Eliminating threats while doing the world a favor, chilling on a ballin yacht boozin until we get there, getting to use machine guns or rocket launchers, this is a no brainer. It's like taking a vacation and being in a video game. What more could you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So basically it's a safari where you try and kill people instead of big game.Not shedding any tears for the pirates but it does seem kinda creepy. I'm concerned that there are people who in their minds think that this is such a great idea that they're willing to pay that sum of money to do this. Like you said though, I'm not going to cry for the pirates. If anything, maybe it will help deter some ship hijackings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I am not saying it all all, my opinions had nothing to do with my Christian values. All I was saying is, defeating evil isn't a bad thing in God's eyes. Let's face it, they were involved in keeping food away from thousands of starving peoples mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 question to those who don't like this. Would you feel better about it if people were paid to protect ships from pirates by killing the pirates when said ships were attacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Where do I sign? I much prefer this over big game hunting. At least the pirates are a chance to shoot back, and thus, creating a level playing field. I've never understood the purpose of shooting an unarmed opponent. If game hunters are so tough, just go in with a knife and see who wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know, a life is a life. **** that. Human life > than animals. I don't condone animals to suffer. As long as the animal is later used for consumption am I OK with that.

Hubbs Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 While pirates should be imprisoned and, if necessary, killed, I can't imagine why people would PAY to kill a criminal. It's one thing to patrol the waters, fight off pirate attacks, and capture/kill pirates as part of a job (e.g., Navy sailor), it's quite another to kill another human being for sport, even if that human being is a criminal. Hold on, hold on. Let me get this straight. When Special Ops guys kill pirates after they've attacked, they're heroes. When normal people do it, they're murderers. Would I sign up for this? Hell no, because I'm a girly-man. But if someone else is going to be sitting in a ship and only shoot at pirates IF ATTACKED, what the hell is wrong with that? Just because they wanted the action doesn't change the morality of it. If you root for various navies to fight pirates, you also root for private citizens to fight pirates. The difference in status doesn't equate to a difference in right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It sounds to me like the piece of crap pirates attacked the wrong ship. These people are doing the world a favor. agreed. Go Russkies.
