re: #412 Naso Tang

I don’t much like your tone my friend, but you really do seem to be making only excuses and no solutions.

There isn’t any easy solution. Life’s like that sometime.

How much do you think it would cost a ship to hire three men with appropriate weapons for perhaps 5 days?

This is your grand plan? Against guys with RPGs and machine guns, three guys with guns are going to effectively defend a giant tanker?

Every ship doesn’t have to be armed to be a deterrent, as long as it’s not obvious who is,

You’re really not getting the whole “threat of death isn’t a deterrent” thing, are you?

As to real fishermen, you think they need to be armed and hundreds of miles offshore with small boats?

I think they need to be armed to fight off the pirates, yes. What didn’t you get about that?

Do you actually know how far offshore fishermen fish? I don’t.
