Well the pirates got to eat too. If the rich people weren't so greedy the world wouldn't have this problem.
MS;
Surely you must be jesting ! Although you upon occasion, (IMO) say some iffy things...this one, if you are serious, must take the cake for vacuousness.
If you were at all serious, you are actually saying that if someone has wealth, it is acceptable to rob, torture and murder to take it away.
That wealth in many cases,may be collective wealth earned by the sweat of the brows of thousands of people.. The pirates may have had opportunities to EARN a living honestly, but eschewed the opportunity..preferring crime instead.
I see crime perpetrated here in the states and most often it is by someone who is simply TOO LAZY to earn their own keep. The same place where robberies occur often have "help wanted" signs in the windows of fast food places in that same neighborhood. If one job doesn't get it..they should take two.. I have done that before, and if it is good enough for me and many others I have known..it's good enough for Mr Crook !
Can't believe you really meant your statement, MS...say you were only "funning" us !
