Title: Pirates
Post by: Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee) on April 22, 2008, 06:06:18 AM
Just heard on the news on RSG that pirates are at it again.

Yep  -  not just SA  -  the whole bloody world is going back to the middle ages.  Pirates in action again!  Just wonder why the hell they did'nt go for the weapon ship destinated for Zim?

As far as I know, pirsates have always been around. Seems like they're getting more attention because of hijacking some rich buggers.
In Asia you find plenty of them everywhere...
It's hard to realy find out how things realy develope in the world. We get attracted by certain things in the media and they react on us. In the end the world is full of what so ever, just because everybody is talking about it...

Oh  yes  that  ship  .. it  should  actually  sink  . failing  that  a  mercenary  attack  on  the  train   during  transport .  cos  it  looks  like  they  heading  for  luanda  .. I hope  the  harbour  workers  do  the  same   as  the  Durban  lot  did ..

Yup  maybe  he should intervene ..  Our lamgat , fast  asleep  leaders  still  think  there  is  no  crisis .. as  I  said  hoora!  for  those  dockworkers  and  drivers  and  their unions  ..    maybe  the politicians  should   take  a hint from that  .. after  all  it is a  message  from  the " ground " upwards  that they  claim  to  listen  to ??

Unless somebody discovers oil in Zim, I don't think we'll be seeing Bush jnr anytime soon.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa  —  A shipment of weapons to Zimbabwe may be returned to China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Tuesday, after the troubled southern African nation's neighbors prevented the cargo from being unloaded.


Does this mean, China has realised that Simbabwe doesn't have a port...

So true Sandy. Beware of the "Yellow Gevaar"! The Soviets have long stopped making their famous AK47 after the much cheaper Chinese replica appeared over a decade ago. In fact mostly all weapons in the hands of terrorist organizations nowadays are cheap replicas, origionating from China.

There was a good movie doing the rounds last year, I think Nicholas Cage was the main actor, which covered this topic quite well.

Sorry Carl. That's not my kind of kick. my kids watched the movie once. (theyre grownup now. at that time teens) I saw only one scene.... the guys set rockets on fire they had stuck in their  arse
No, no. Not my kind of fun.

Carl, Jackass, I enjoyed that .Athough everybody else thinks I'm crazy.Maybe I am, remember the "thingy"s " sticking to ice and the "mouse puppet" feeding the snake.     Strange humour I have.

It takes quite an "open" sense of humour to enjoy Jackass. We all need to be a bit crazy sometimes.

That makes 2 of us, see junior how he stirs up the sh....t again

I am full scorpion in negative and positive sens, what that means you can read up in all Zodiac descriptions

The biggest downfall, we dont forget and are sensitive while distributing the sh...t to others.

Say no more thats enough of the negative

The positive however, you must test out with the Scorpio you know closer..........
