Define "hate speech," though... the most caustic and hateful comments that I've seen here are directed towards whites and Christianity--and nothing is done about it.

There's definitely double standards here: now making a sarcastic remark about another poster's barbaric notions of murdering innocent civilians constitutes a "personal attack" and "trolling" is beyond me...

Or, better yet, why not fight their wars for them...

What we should all do is start using biodiesel... not only would we be supporting local farmers such as blueblood herself, but if someone happened to pirate it, we wouldn't have to sail the USS Missouri half way around the world (what a $avings that would be on gas alone) to blow away the culprits...

you've been watching too much Power Rangers...

And that bothers you?

Why would I want to adopt your lifestyle? I prefer living as a civilized human being--self-sufficiently, though...

Interesting observation.

Wow, what a fascinating discussion... and the relevance to the topic is what exactly?

Well, let's see, that was written at about 4 am so either I wasn't paying much attention or some cantankerous army man has been hacking into my account again...

Somalis aren't black?

For once I've voted with the majority...

Looks to me like someone doesn't want to defend her hero... oh, well...

dontcha mean "you're"?

Now where doth one register one's pirate ship? Do you know if there are certain minimum specifications for prospective pirate ships? Seeing the way the economy is going, I was thinking that I'd supplement my income by cruising up and down the Grand in my canoe raiding and pilfering unsuspecting landlubbers--I may as well make it official but actually registering as a pirate...

This pure speculation--to put it politely--and I think much of your willingness to entertain such fanciful notions has to do with a problem that afflicts many: the inability to accept the fact that a bunch of impoverished, lanky jet black Africans could pull of something of this magnitude...

Against which they would survive more than a few hours at most, so really wouldn't these be ideal targets? It's every naval commanders wet dream to sink the enemy with impunity, and it doesn't get easier than this... Nothing like blowing away a bunch of Third World thugs with overwhelming firepower to show how civilized we are, eh...

Not quite... I'm simply implying that I don't care much for what goes on in that part of the world, nor am I partial to a media that only makes issue out of something when it has an economic impact on the West... If we could actually create a society that is energy self-sufficient, we wouldn't have to worry about these kinds or things or engage in needless wars in farflung dustbowls. Simply put, our wasteful lifestyle creates and sustains Third World thugs and terrorists...

Of course its nobody's fault with the Conservatives in power, but were the Liberals in power and such a headline came out all of you neocons would have been howling bloody murder. I hope we have an election in 2009.

I don't make "personal attacks"--that's M.Dancer's schtick... what I do is simply make whimsical factually-based ad hominem observations... There's really not much to this topic... piracy has been going on for millenia, and just because a bunch of black Africans really pulled a big one against modern western European society doesn't suddenly make it newsworthy...

Why? Like your superfluous comment about the USS Missouri isn't a completely inane waste of space...

Yeah, that's right... let's draw on the Allie's solution to a problem that eventually led to unrestricted submarine warfare...

Yeah, what we'll do is attach a gigantic custom-built header and systematically combine the Indian Ocean... then we'll park the thing on your field and open it up as a tourist attraction: the world's biggest (and only) dual purpose farm/combat vehicle...

Let's not forget that is was the Democrats who championed slavery and seccession, and that slavery was brought about by wealthy elites who wanted to turn the South's agricultural economy into something much more profitable. They were the one's who were bringing about radical change... So change can go either way, and I'd say that we had a society that had reached a good level of advancement, but that it is now beginning to regress again...

In KG we were forced to learn that dreidel song and consume some cardboard-like socalled "bread"...
