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?
