They're also pirating because foreign vessels are using their waters to dump waste.Originally Posted by In Yo Nostril

The increase in fish stocks makes it okay for the pirates to interrupt international transport?
Insurance premiums on shipping through that area is up 1000%. It costs an extra 7-8 million to go around the Cape of Good Hope (to avoid pirates).
We're in a global recession where there are ships being docked in random bodies of water because they're being unused. Adding to the costs of
transports only worsens this problem and prevents any real recovery in shipping.
Do I feel sorry for Somalians and others that have it tough? Yes. Do I think it's okay to disrupt international trade because they have it tough? No. I
don't care if the fish stocks go up, piracy should not be tolerated. If they wants boats to go further away from the coast to avoid disrupting fish
stocks, there are better ways to go about it.
and instead of using those millions of dollars to help their people they care so much about, they use it to bang hookers and do lines all day until they find another boat. someone give these guys the nobel peace prize for protecting their homeland
A lot of you guys are acting like these pirates are committing selfless acts for their people. They aren't. Have any you guys wondered where they get thefunds they use to buy guns and whatever other materials they need? I've read that they've received financing from as far as London. Those"financiers" aren't doing it for free. They're taking more than half the money the pirates steal as their cut.
I've also read about the dumping of waste. If the UN didn't take them seriously when they first brought it up, what makes them think piracy will helptheir cause? The piracy takes away from any credibility their cause has and it sets the Somalian people back even further. These pirates aren't helpingtheir country, they're making it worst.
