I thought they were Russian weapons (media over here was saying amongst the weapons were a bunch of T-72s)

I only support pirates when they're the dirty scumbag rapists of the ocean, not when they're honourable disney characters searching for treasure.

They're inferior to mexican banditos as well according to official libcom policy.

Oh Jef... I don't know how to thank you for posting that for us n00bies; I found this on the REAL ultimate power link:

But if you want to commit Seppuku and you’re like me, you don’t have access to stuff like lasers. But there’s hope. I tried to kill myself by swallowing a frisbee a couple of times—and believe me, it’s pretty cool. The only catch is you have to be really super pissed to do it.

Step 1 Get a frisbee from the store or friend.

Step 2 Clean the Frisbee.

Step 3 Make sure your parents aren’t around

Step 4 Put something slippery on it, like butter or cream.

Step 5 Get really super pissed.

Step 6 Fold the Frisbee hard (this is crucial)

Step 7 Keep folded and insert Frisbee into mouth hard.

Step 8 Push hard until you can’t see it.

Step 9 Wait.

Step 10 Die.

I just bought another bottle of Pisco - it's me birthday - and I'm going to get all my mates to try this later. Yay! New Party Game!

I saw that frisbee thing but was offended by the use of pissed.

Ah, but he's a yank, so it just means he's a bit stroppy right?

28 October, 2008 - 18:54

Yes, I was offended as an Englishman.

30 October, 2008 - 22:18

lousy troll is lousy

I hope the ship gets stormed and they're all shot to be honest.

18 November, 2008 - 15:01

Oh sorry, forgot libcom is shit now. I hope the working class fight for their own interests and don't try and manage capital, and then take control of society through revolutionary workers councils, placing their faith in nothing other than their own power to change things. And then storm the oil tanker and shoot all the pirates.

18 November, 2008 - 15:04

if the workers don't get 'em, the scurvy will.

18 November, 2008 - 15:30

yeah that's right, no u (turn).
OK so back on this fascinating issue of these bad muffuckaz they recently had a scuffle with the indian navy, and got blown up when they fired on a navy ship instead of submitting to any investigation of their boat...

Quote:
The Indian navy said the Tabar spotted the pirate vessel while patrolling 285 nautical miles (528km) south-west of Salalah in Oman on Tuesday evening.
The navy said the pirates on board were armed with guns and rocket propelled grenade launchers.
When it demanded the vessel stop for investigation, the pirate ship responded by threatening to "blow up the naval warship if it closed on her", the statement said.
Pirates then fired on the Tabar, and the Indians say they retaliated and that there was an explosion on the pirate vessel, which sank.

sounds like quite a likely story... but i guess we'll never know what really happened out there in the wide blue yonder...

"Much of their ransom money from previous hijackings has been used to buy new boats and weapons as well as develop a network across the Horn of Africa, he adds."

"[to avoid the treacherous somali coast the bourgeois mercantilists are thinking about changing their route, but] travelling around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope would add several weeks to average journey times and substantially increase the cost of goods for consumers."

When the capitalists can't move shit any damn where because people are as fucked up by it as these somalis are and start fighting back everywhere shit'll change, yo.

maybe the pirates will start attacking the world's militaries more? they don't have as much to gain i guess, but they would build up the impression that they're some bad motherfuckaz.
