Pirates? Again? Why hasn't the US Navy started pummeling these guys yet? Everyone I know in the Navy is gung-ho about kicking the shit out of someone, anyone! I have this awesome "McHale's Navy" episode running through my head right now. A Somali pirate takes his eyes off the ship he is attempting to hijack and picks up an RPG. Looks up to see a 16 inch cannon pointed at him from just a foot away. Awesome!

Since no one else will post it, today's Brickbat:
Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a bill that would amend
its child porography laws to also include people over 60 and the
disabled, even if they are mentally competent. The bill would ban
people from making or distributing "with lascivious intent" any
films or videos showing the elderly or disabled nude.
I never thought it would happen, but they found a nanny-state law I
can get on board with.
|4.9.09 @ 9:02AM|#
Naga, the FSM protects pirates. Duh.
But seriously, my guess as to why no one has kicked any Somali
Pirate ass over these hijackings is because they always return the
passengers and vessels unharmed, and they always have someone's
crew hostage at any given time, so going after one group may
jeopardize the other group's hostages. There's not much incentive
in taking the chance of getting someone killed because of
aggressive action by any country's Navy when payoffs are getting
people home safely, every single time.

DIE DEUTSCHE BANK
Die Deutsche Bank greift nach dem Verlustjahr 2008 bei ihrer
Fondstochter DWS durch. Das Geldhaus tauscht vier Aufsichtsräte aus
und streicht im deutschen Fondsgeschäft Dutzende Stellen. Zwei der
neuen Aufseher seien Risikoexperten, sagte ein Sprecher der größten
deutschen Fondsgesellschaft.
Den Vorsitz übernimmt künftig der Deutsche-Bank-Risikovorstand Hugo
Bänziger. Er löst Kevin Parker ab, der im erweiterten Vorstand
operativ für die gesamte Vermögensverwaltung der Deutschen Bank
zuständig bleibt. Diese Sparte - zu der die DWS wesentlich beiträgt
- hat im vergangenen Jahr eine halbe Milliarde Euro Verlust
gemacht.
Auch die Fondspalette der DWS steht auf dem Prüfstand. Die Deutsche
Bank hat 2008 - vornehmlich bei der DWS - bereits 25 in Deutschland
zugelassene Fonds geschlossen und 18 weitere zusammengelegt. Seit
Jahresbeginn kamen sechs Schließungen dazu. Einem Bericht der
Financial Times Deutschland zufolge verwalten derzeit 76 Fonds der
Deutsche-Bank-Töchter weniger als 100 Millionen Euro. Diese Marke
gilt als Untergrenze für die Rentabilität eines Fonds.

Would that be the very same thing being called "Capatilist media"

Rep.
Laura Richardson (D-Calif.) told MSNBC that Americans misunderstand
Cuba, likely suffering from false consciousness provoked by
sinister reports in the capitalist media. "The things I had heard
of Fidel, it's almost like you would think he is horrible, he's
angry, he would hate America," she said. "But everything I saw and
witnessed was completely the opposite to (sic) that."

Didn't the crew retake the ship? What kind of pirates are these?
Maybe violence isn't the answer when unarmed crew can overcome
armed pirates.
Years ago, I went out on an 80' yacht for a bachelor party. I spent
some time on the bridge with the captain and mate, who were drunker
than I was. Anyway, they told me that when they made runs to
various Caribbean islands, they carried automatic weapons. They had
even exchanged fire once with some drug runners.

|4.9.09 @ 9:19AM|#
According to some shmo on morning radio today, arming these civilian ships would increase their liability insurance costs tremendously. Since the pirates apparently don't like to actually harm people, the shipping companies prefer to just negotiate with them, give them the 1 or 2 million ransom they want, and be done with it.

|4.9.09 @ 9:20AM|#
Did anyone actually report that the crew was unarmed? I doubt they were, even if it was reported as so. From what I've heard on the radio when family has spoken about the captured captain and the crew he led, they knew full well the risks they took piloting in those waters. To be unarmed would be foolish.

You're right, I misspoke. Allow me to rephrase: Maybe [death,

Nick,
The point of my anecdote above was that I doubt any crew would be
totally unarmed in hostile waters. Though not adequately armed is
likely, or they wouldn't have been taken in the first place.

real guns to collect taxes rather than just the threat of guns.

The reason the pirtes have a disdain for hurting the captives/crew is because they are not stupid. If they go shooting loting and killing everything they come across, then the brunt of the navies of the world would be down there to halt them, destroy them, and kill/capture themk. by being relativly non-violent hijackers, keeping death toll at near zero and returning ships after "ransom" is paid. they are more of an annoyance to the worlds navys. if they start shooting up ships they know they will have a battleship and fighter jets after them.

If it floats, has a gun on it, and is full of armed men, would we

Here's a news flash for people: since the time of the cult of
Dionysius and probably before that, large numbers of people of both
sexes have deliberately sought out opportunities to get
shit-smashed drunk and fuck irresponsibly. This is a deliberate
lifestyle choice for a very large number of people who crave
catharsis and/or the deliberate abandonment of standard
mores.
These peoples' lives are not automatically delegitimized because
some college fresh-women get date raped.
Why can't we admit that the reason drinking and fucking go together
is because people LIKE drinking and fucking?
"It's not informed consent!" I've had sex when blind drunk many

consented. I have never consented more for anything in my life.
|4.9.09 @ 10:54AM|#
Fluffy,
Some of the feministing date rape threads go further. The basic
sentiment is that if the woman is too drunk to legally drive, then
she cannot consent to sex. And, of course the self-serving
corollary, no man can be drunk enough to not be held responsible
for whatever his role is.
OK, boys. Who has had sex with a woman too drunk to drive yet
perfectly capable of consenting to sex? Congratulations, you are

God dammit, dbcooper!!! I'm in the fucking schools library surrounded by roughly a hundred and fifty people. Do you have any idea what it feels like to be laughing so hard that a hundred and fifty people are staring at you like you're an idiot!!! Plus I knocked my drink over and that fucking douchebag librarian dude and student aide are looking at me wondering why I have a drink in a library next to a PC. Fucker!

if the woman is too drunk to legally drive, then she cannot
consent to sex.
This is because women are a delicate, inferior species, and
consequently are incapable of acting in their own interest, or on
their own behalf; we must protect them from themselves.
Right?

I do what I can for the student body, Naga.
Actually, the best part of that was walking her to the train
station in the morning and her pointing out that I'd told her every
story and joke already. "Yeah, you were telling everybody
a lot of stories last night. You were also fucking shit faced."

Having that scene with the brother is hard enough, dealing with the father must be ah, challenging to say the least.
|4.9.09 @ 11:41AM|#
Naga and HEB, I'm not fighting for her and never have been. You
can totally have her. I'm done.
FYI: She likes it when you pull her hair...but then, I think they
all do. The feminists who say they don't are liars.
Everyone loves Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
For the interested readers who wonder how this all started, I
called Suki crazy because she voted for Obama.
Then someone coaxed Naga into challenging me to a duel to defend
her honor. My Ninja skills took care of Naga in short order, and
then my Pirate skills (drinkin' and whorin') took over when Suki
was not available. Whether she consented is a matter of opinion.
Ooooh, how ya like me now?!

adjectives. Comedy is a two way street, brother.
Eh, you're probably right. Only HEB cared and he doesn't
count.
Speaking of doesn't count, a buddy of mine in college says his
girlfriend (who was religious and played that game all religious
girls play because they want to go to Heaven) said they could have
intercourse as long as he didn't cum. She could have a dozen
orgasms and that was OK, but he was not allowed to. It's amazing
how people rationalize things, especially when eternal salvation is
at stake.

What I want to know is how did the Massachusetts lawmakers know
films or videos showing the elderly or disabled nude even existed?
Did they stumble across some at a yard sale or something?
PS I hope this ban doesn't include Moms Teaching Teens.

"These peoples' lives are not automatically delegitimized
because some college fresh-women get date raped."
A lot of college date rape claims are bullshit. I was reading a
study a few weeks back and a girl, fully admitting that the guy
didn't have sex with her, still claimed she was date raped
because...if he hadn't have been passed out drunk, he would have
fucked her. She wanted to press charges. I kid you not
Fluffy|4.9.09 @ 1:46PM|#
To merge a couple of the thread elements, wouldn't the
Massachusetts ban on porn involving the "disabled" end up banning
"drunk girl" porn too? Since alcoholism is a disability.
And what about nymphomaniac porn? Isn't nymphomania a recognized
mental illness and thus a disability?
Yikes, just thinking about the mental illness element gets a little
scary. Any nude image of Angelina Jolie would end up being covered
by the statue, because that bitch is crazy.
|4.9.09 @ 1:52PM|#
Fluffy,
I can see a Feminist/Religionist alliance pushing that all the way
to claiming that wanted to be filmed while having sex is a mental
illness.
Although they already want to ban drunk/sleeping/drugged porn on
the basis that it is rape porn.
And, of course, they already think everyone's favorite "two drunks
at a party start fucking" videos are evidence of rape. Because of
the impossibility of drunk consent.

"Suki has never "been with" a man, but is attracted to them. She
had a history of seducing women she has been around (with every one
of them thinking they were seducing Suki) and is no longer a
"virgin" but has not gone past kissing with men. She is not a
lesbian, or really bisexual, she has a strange pathology where she
is saving herself for a future husband but was not beyond the
pleasures of women in the past. Her preference and wish is to be
with one man for the rest of time and her fantasies of being with a
man have been intensifying."
Executive Summary: I'm a self-hating dyke in total denial.

Suki sounds like Aiko, the gynoid with erotic sensors plugged into strategic parts of her body. Her inventor claims that she's a virgin, too. No, really!

Suki's site raised my eyebrows as well, but that is a character bible for a work that her friend is writing, not an actual biography of Suki herself.

"New Cato study touts the success of Portugal's drug
decriminalization program."
For a first hand perspective
The cocaine here is top notch
Straight from Guinea
Yellow nice :)
The MDMA powder rocks to the extend that I've never actually seen a
pill
The hash is dreadful soap bar
unless you get stuff called "Bellota" which is alright
a bit like squidgy black
The weed is shitty Nigerian banana weed, 50% seeds and stalks
does the job
meh
The ironic thing about the decriminalization is that smugglin is
still illegal
I was in a pretty well know bar here we're the owner sells the
stuff and people are liberally smoking
The bizzies pull up outside and walk in
I kind of panic a bit
My mate grins even more than he usually does and pours a whiskey
and the bizzies hand over a very large bag of grass
So I think that not only is possession decriminalized but
distribution is semi-nationalized in a strange sort of way
free the drugs anyway!
ah Holidays fuck yeah

Yes, that was a hi to you.

It is still a safe bet on the internet to assume somebody is male.
In my case it is incorrect. So go with your hopes, not with the
odds ;)
CDV,
Thank you! You are a sweetie :)
libertydyke,
SF is correct that you are quoting a character description, not a
bio about me. The character description is a little incorrect on
the web now because the author changed her a in the book. But why
must you be so ugly about it?
Are you going to say the same about me because I have been with
both men and women and the person I fell in love with is my beloved
boyfriend instead of some girlfriend of the past?

Just to be an absolute cunt!
(which is one of my favourite hobbies)
Suki is a well unfortunate name
as in "me love you long time 5 dollar" "your name your name"
I actually was gifted with one of the worst possible names in that
respect
in the vernacular of the region I emerged from my name is
phonetically exactly the same as
"look at my penis"
There was like a day in school when everyone else figured that
out
which wasnt fun
I got home to my parents and was like
why did you call me that
and thy both burst out laughing
and thank fuck I'm not a teenager anymore!

MM,
You are the only person I have heard that from, about the character
name anyway. I knew a Japanese girl by that name and nobody said
that to her either.
Of course, that rude crap you posted is said to me on occasion and
brilliant people like you drop their jaws when they hear my
southern accent.
Perhaps if you give reading a try you might not sound so
'enlightened'?

Yup! And the book character does too. Not very thick usually. She
and her friends exclaim "awesome" on frequent occasion too, like
you do.

Was meant to be a lil' more like this.
Of course, that rude "love you long time" crap you posted is said
to me on occasion just for being Asian and brilliant people like
