Question about (gulp) The Captain of the Ship...

[QueenOfCalifornia]

Instead of rescuing the Captain, perhaps the Navy Seals should have rescued the pirates who had kidnapped the Captain of a ship delivering medicine to Africa? However, rescuing them may have been difficult since they were armed with assault weapons.

I am curious. If it was your son/brother/husband being held by menacing thugs, what would you want?

1. All that water available and nobody was even waterboarded!

What's this government coming to?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. Your point?

I ask a question and you change the topic.

Isn't there a PETA thread someplace?????

[DS1]

5. If SEALS are so bad-ass, how come Canada is clubbing thousands of them to death each day?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. LoL!

12. Do you have some

information about the guy?

making such allegations is crazy talk unless you know something....


after reading your posts today... I don't think you know anything much.

[marketcrazy1]

14. you gotta be one twisted

piece of work to come up with something like that!! BYE, BYE!!

[arcadian]

18. Oh I for got, he's a fucking hero.

:eyes:

[marketcrazy1]

22. and if it were YOU

sitting in a lifeboat for a couple of days with armed men threatening to kill you would you have cried to the UN for their safe treatment or petitioned the President to hear their grievances... you should stop, you are embarrassing yourself............

[arcadian]

25. Actually, that happens a lot in hostage situations.

It's called Stokholm Syndrome. Try cracking a book once in a while.

[marketcrazy1]

26. that was not the point of my statement

as you know quite well. try growing a braincell once in a while. dont bother with a reply, I wont see it................

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. Is this a trick question?

Or did you forget that sarcasm emoticon?

Because, if it's straight, I can't see how it makes any sense.

Maybe you can explain more clearly?

[marketcrazy1]

9. I would want

people much smarter than you determining the best course of action to secure his safe release................... rescue the pirates??????

10. this is truly an embarassingly bad OP. If I w3re you, I'd delete it

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. Why?

Because any of your one trillion OPs is so much better?

I am serious.

There are a lot of people who believe that the "pirates" are just doing what they need to do to survive. I don't think the family of the captain of the ship feel the same way.

When the pirates killed him, what then? I am serious.

Of course, as has been said here, he may be the next Hitler.

[marketcrazy1]

19. you mam or sir

are an idiot!!

[arcadian]

21. You know how many time I've wanted to tell you that cali?

Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step. :rofl:

[Bluzmann57]

13. If it were my son/brother/father

or whatever being held by the terrorists, er, pirates, I'd want the captors dead. I am no relation to Captain Phiilips and I wanted his captors dead. They serve no useful purpose and it's good that they are gone.

[JoseGaspar]

23. Seriously?

"They serve no useful purpose and it's good that they are gone."

By this standard, three quarters of those who work in "financial services" are goners. So too, all major league baseball refs. Also many others.

[Bluzmann57]

28. What?

Your counter argument makes no sense whatsoever. The terrorists, er, pirates are thugs. Major League baseball UMPS (not refs) serve a purpose in their sport. Some financial services workers are no doubt crooked, but they don't kill people. Fuck the pirates and their apologists. I repeat, I'm glad the pirates are dead. I hope the U.S. Navy kills more of the dirty bastards.

[MineralMan]

16. Can you say "Lounge?"

Yes? I knew you could.

[DS1]

24. Screw that! Only GD can repel the crazy of this magnitude

[MadrasT]

20. Rescued the pirates?

Are you serious?

[CatsDogsBabies]

27. Didn't the captain offer to be a hostage to save his crew?

[EFerrari]

29. Boy, teh stupid does hurt. I didn't know it was literally true. n/t
