re: #405 Obdicut

Does the fact that this is not a viable option bother you at all?

Somalia definitely needs more war. That’ll help.

It’s not viable only because nobody wants to seem like the bad guy to the Somalis in case you get upset.

Actually an additional approach is to have two or three man crews with chain guns and long range .50 calibers ride shotgun through the region. Much cheaper insurance than paying ransoms, or facing worse. One warning flare ignored means nobody goes home. But again, many more people will need to be murdered before that happens, but I suspect it will.

Great. So the fishermen carrying ak-s to fight off the pirates stealing their catches, we’re going to sink their boats. Awesome!

Do I have to explain the obvious? No, only those fishing with RPGs and machine guns and no ice in the holds.


You certainly have a great plan to fuck up Somalia even more. Way to go.

Well, aside from having a lousy temper when you debate, you sure don’t offer any solutions, and on top of that it sounds like you think all Somalis are pirates.

Sounds a bit like the argument that all Muslims are terrorists, and out of desperation at that.
