44. The pirates are fighting for their lives! It's the multi-nationals that have a death wish!
This is supposed to be a site for progressives, but when certain issues arise, like Somali pirates. Almost everyone on this forum becomes John Wayne, or the current version of a right-wing racist cowboy.
If the warships in the area would stop the illegal fishing and dumping of toxic wastes of the coast of Somalia, the piracy would stop as well. Stop blaming the victims of neo-liberal economics and neo-conservative politics. And lighten up on the racism.
