Glad to see that people are starting to realize that the only way to stop Pirates is to actually fight back.

So how much trouble do you think we'd get in if a whole bunch of us went to Somalia and took over forcefully?

It is great until a fishing boat gets blown away...

But good on the shipping companies. Sometimes the only way to play it is to fight back.

And how many fishing boats are there in the middle of deep ocean with armed men and no fishing gear that are on an intercept course with you?

Let me know when you build your dirigible. I think I know some people who would be willing to help and a few more who actually might know what a government needs to do...

Anyone for a Q Ship?

Though of course, these are only legal if the Captain declares 'SURPRISE, COCKFACE!' over the Ship Communications System shortly before blasting the Pirates girly little dinghy out of the water.

Is it even legal for private citzens to go pirate hunting? That would seem like the Ultimate passtime for bored rednecks...
