Why is is it when you finish something people say you "killed it " and if you killed it people look at you strange, and if you kill, people don't like you at all. As a pirate sometimes you have to kill and to tell the truth you really never talk about it. You sit at the inn talking to a nice wench and whisper " hey I just slit some poor guys guts open today before I took over his ship" , or " I had to hack a British sailor to bits before he tried to kill me, it was a mess it took hours to get all the blood off me" One does not talk about killing. On the other hand if you give me trouble I will kill you.

It is nice sometimes to think that as a pirate you might get some respect. I carry a gun, sword, a few knifes, hatchet and a club, that is just what you see. So one might think that people would show some respect, but NO, most people view you as just a pirate. They say one has to earn respect ,well as a pirate I do. I pillage, plunder, take over ships, ransack towns, all kinds of stuff that you would think could earn a guy some respect. The only respect a pirate usually gets is from wenches ( if you have gold ) and that's not all that bad of respect. So how does a pirate get respect?

Why do people think pirate are not fun people, why we like games and sports, maybe not like you might play but we do play.
