Somali piracy is worst in world
By Mark Doyle
BBC World Affairs Correspondent

The Seabourne Sprint, which escaped an attack off the Somali coast on
Saturday
This luxury cruise liner was attacked by pirates two months ago
An increase in piracy off the Indian Ocean coast of Somalia has made
these waters the most dangerous for pirate activities in the world.

sink a few of these boats and leave the survivors for the hammerhead
sharks - that should solve the problem quickly.

That's my thought. A couple .50 cal machine guns would do nicely to
solve
this problem. They could probably be had pretty cheaply from Army
surplus.

Is a discussion about machine guns more appropriate at
rec.machineguns.armysurplus?


The discussion was about the hazards of boating off the coast of Somalia.

I can understand your being upset with the machine gun post if you missed
the earlier posts in the thread. I apologize, again, if that was the case
and I somehow offended you.

John, my post was an attempt at humor and to bring attention to the
inconsistent rules in this new and improved NG.

What I think about the new and improved NG:

I appreciate the new tone. However, I think that everyone needs to step
back and stop the netcopping (as I have been guilty of in the past, and
perhaps am guilty of with this post). I think folks should be allowed to
post whatever they want to. I think that folks should take it upon
themselves to decide what discussions they want to participate in. I think
some folks here need to remain consistent on what they find acceptable and
not acceptable here (I know I do).

What do you think?



How many times are you going to ask me this question? I think I've seen it
in about ten, or more, threads. What is your point in the repetition? I
answered it the first time I saw it!
