Me talking about glorious pirates not scurvy privateers.

Exactly, I do not.
The war begun way before the slaves began their uprising.

The difference is... to have a choice or not.

But you do. And you dont expect "true communism".
You just need enough "real communism" to feel good.
Thats the dilemma of hypocrisy.
You cannot expect something, if you dont do anything for it.

Not spy, but work. Willingly or not some do their best to transform the
risk of a growing german pirate party into a static asset of a 
government controlled opposition.  And some of them do it  with a letter
of marque.

I am Mirco da Silva, and I approved this message.

For a real discussion, please stand up.

You are wasting your time, mkay.
With communism?
With pirates?
Isnt that the same for you?

The EU decided this week to take their forces the first time ever into a
naval mission - against Pirates off the coast of Somalia.
As the Nato does, as the US Navy does, as Russia does. As even India does.
It seems their is no bigger thread on earth than pirates - despite the
upcoming new thread of 'eco-terrorists' like the Sea Shepheards.
Ooops.. they define themselves as modern pirates, too.

conclusion:
Pirates are a thread.
If you are not a thread you are not a pirate.

You are not a thread, except for Pirates.

Straight accusation enough, Christian?
