Why do you judge the way some one thinks when you have no clue as to what they think? People think pirates only pillage and plunder and pirates live outside the law. Pirates don't live outside the law the law is out side to them. Bilge ! I say there are Letters of Marque that give one the right to pirate just like a war ship sinks an enemy's' boat in war time. The big problem is that no one ask why pirates do what they do. Pirates most of the time just speak their mind , that is what really gets them in trouble. People are afraid of pirates because they don't think like they do !!! Besides most of the time pirates think about wenches.....
