This is my first thread! Wish I could give happier news for my first thread, but here's an interesting story.

Been keeping an eye on this story for a while. Decided to finally show you the story.

Why can't we just blow the ship up? Get the weapons out of the hands of the pirates and whoever they were meant for?

I imagine they haven't attacked it because they are still hoping to rescue it's crew. . . very sad though.

Is that it? I wasn't sure if the crew was still on the ship because they didn't really mention them. I wonder why the UN doesn't do something about them or who they expect to pay the $20 mill ransom.

I heard a little about that on the news last night. The whole world is the terrorist's playground and they are deeply involved here, you can rest assured. Sounds like there may be hostages and I'm sure that is the only reason the lowlifes are taking up space and wasting breath. Otherwise I would say vaporize them immediately and do it anyway if they don't follow instructions. The crew probabably was scheduled to be killed anyway if they haven't already. That sounds harsh, but reality is, if they deliver those weapons, many, many more people are going to die besides the crew.

the UN hasn't done anything because the UN never actually does anything. And before you jump, name 1 thing the UN has ever started brought to a successful conclusion.

I can't and I know I was just wondering. I mean what EXACTLY do they do anyway???? They must do something while their sitting in HQ. They can't just sit in a little circle and stare at each other. Anyway...
