Law on the high seas
Just out of curiosity, if you shot pirates for real, coming at your boat with loaded weapons and you just brought out the 9mm, AK-47 or M16...wasted them in international waters. Can you be arrested and the charges stick? -- Socialism is a great ideal as long as someone else pays for it. And when no one is left to pay for it, they all can share nothing. |

Why would you call anyone and who would you call? Precisely. Dead men tell no tales - just make sure the boat sinks. I believe blood stains are hard to remove. |

Nah, a little green soap and a brush will do a great job. Anyone who has ever caught blue fish knows that. LOL! |
