Pirates in the 21st century!

It was 400 miles off the coast. Apparently they'll probably get millions in ransom money.




Question: How is it that if there were 10 hostages ready to be beheaded, we never negotiate. But when it's pirates 100m worth of oil, it's fine to give them cash!?!?! Surely paying for the ship back will just make them do it again?


You can't hide a super tanker. Send in the




to wipe them out. That'll stop them doing it again.

Perhaps. My money's on the SAS.

Stuff the SAS, send Jack Bauer in! He'd get the job done in twenty four hours, with a bit of shouting, torture, getting shot but then wiping them all out or something.

i know its serious but when me and hubby heard it on the news we laughed pirates!!!!
why the hell arent they stoppped

And why the hell have the been doshing out ransom money left right and centre. They say £20 million has been paid the pirates in the past year.

They could probably buy themselves a nuke with that and hold the whole world to ransom!!!!!
