8-12 "pirates" in 1 25 foot boats attacking a Cruise Liner. I think they needed bigger guns? Maybe they just wanted in on the golfing?

One of my father's friends from work had a run in with pirates. M16s fixed the problem. I might go into detail if anyone cares.

Yea I saw that, that would not be a fun experience if you were on the cruise liner.

I think that would add to the whoel experiance as long as the outcome is the same and you can go on with normal shit after a few hours cleaning up crappy rounds.

And I want to hear more about M16s fixing problems :-D

Yeah, it seems that it is a problem in international waters, especially for people who have 1 person sail boats and like to travel around the world.

^Very true^

My dad's friend has a 80ft sailboat. This dude and four friends were sailing somewhere. They saw four boats (20-30ft) coming at them from different directions. As the boats came closer, the men on the sailboat saw that the other guys had AKs and rifles. "Go below and bring up the AR15s" The Pirates turned back and these folks never had a problem later.
I think it's weird the pirates didn't come back at night. I would have thought to let the pirates come in closer. Then again, a AR15 is a poor weapon for this...

Ok, now I have read the CNN thing. Somalis? What a freaking rip-off! There is no way I would do anything a Somali wanted me to. I'm pretty sure they don't know the pirate code. A pirate has to start off with "Avast!" and use "Yahar!" for every sentence. The Somalis I used to work with use "Um..." and "Yo, huh?". Just try to imagine that!

Maybe they weren't pirates at all.

Maybe they were Islamic fundamentalists trying to hijack the cruiseboat. http://www.dsmstyle.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif
