I mean they are on the _WATER_ they can't get you if you live inland. I mean really...we should really fear the NINJAS! I mean they can be ANYWHERE! Even in water...walking on water...killing pirates on their ships (Ninjas are better than Pirates)...in your back yard...I have seen movies about ninjas and no one sees them! All they see is the heavenly gates and peter after a ninja gets on em. @Andy is Mr Buzzkillington ;P I don’t see the hate with the pirates… I mean they are on the _WATER_ they can’t get you if you live inland.

That may seem like it's a cold economic approach to the very dangerous problem of piracy, but it is how pirates apparently think of it, and it is how the shipping industry needs to think of it as well. Have a listen to these two brilliant episodes of NPR's Planet Money podcast where they pick apart the economy of piracy and speak with a shipping CEO and a pirate who have formed a business relationship and a friendship of sorts. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2009/04/pirates_have_timesheets.html http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2009/05/hear_and_three_baby_camels.html Cheers, Andy All humour aside, the piracy industry is big business and probably does fund a great deal of entrepreneurship and economic growth in that area of the world.
