Not funny moron – they were over a thousand miles away from Somalia when attacked. Probably the pirates were out there looking for bigger prey (certainly not a sailboat) and finding nothing these poor people became a crime-of-opportunity as the pirates thought to defray their fuel costs by bringing back something with which to demand a ransom.

Troll – they were over a thousand nautical miles away from Somalia (that's the pirate base since you obviously know NOTHING about the geography or details of the event).

a good week for real people. Bad week for disneyland army types. Congrats to columbia university students who see through all the foxy hypes of ben ali america.
T Lee, these people are not trolls; they contribute regularly to these blogs. Whether you like what they say or not is moot; the fact is they are here all the time. The person *I* have never seen here before is...you.
Hi, banasy:-) congrats on the upcoming nuptials lol
And you think you're SPECIAL just because you frequently post your 2 cents worth of "DRIVEL" on a site? The poster T.Lee obviously knew his facts about the story and the other posters didn't as most people don't, but come on and shoot their mouths off without researching the facts about a particular story. GROW UP!
He didn't seem to know much about the details at all...
patriciataylor, what are you talking about? Why are you replying to a topic that is not in the thread?
I know they were part of a larger flotilla that was told to stay together, especially in that area because of the pirates, and they chose not to listen. But forget the pirates. They were thrill seekers sailing around the world. It could have been a storm that got em. I'm kind of opposed to my taxes being used to save thrill seekers from stupid dangers they knowingly put themselves in. Mountain climbers, spelunkers, all of em. I think in some instances, there's a bill... If they'd lived, would they have been charged to rent a destroyer and crew, plus search aircraft, SEALs, etc? Doubt it, but even if so, who pays now? Me?
Hi, leeintulsa! I certainly made *somebody* angry, didn't I? D'oh!
Lol
I dont know how leaders like gadhafi stayed in power he is crazy and seems so out of touch with reality just a ranting raving lunatic that makes no sense. He is just saying anything and none of it makes sense no wonder the people are revolting and are risking everything there tired of this insane dictator and his madman speechs its a disgrace so many are under the rule of a real tyrant that has ruin every aspect of these people peace of minds and safety with no chance of this man being fair or just. I hope the people get his ass out of power. He is insane
Nut jobs leading a country. Libya, USA. And others.
