Why don't people understand ? Pirates are pirates why would you trust them at their word? Come on now that has to be on of the strangest things I have heard. Not that a pirates' word is not as good as gold or that a pirate would lie, come on now. Every wench knows that pirates are always rich and that there is just one wench in the world for them. (and it is the one they are with.) And it is always true that pirates will always come back with more gold and treasures next time they are in port. I just still can not believe that people would think pirates would not hold to the code , (well it is just a "guideline." )
