That pissed me off somewhat.

I want to kill everything in that cartoon.
My cousin is in the Coast Guards and was actually deployed around Somalia.

What for? You don't like pirates? You were a pirate on Saturday. :gnarkgnark:

I mainly picked that cartoon because it basically had the same song as the Kenya cartoon.

The cartoon was too fast, can't read the words.

And I agree with Sed. Although pirates are better than ninjas.

Pirates are murderers, thieves, rapists, and terrorists.

I don't hate pirates. I just hate the cartoon. Only a gay or female pirate would where a shirt that showed his or her belly button.

I hated the constant two shift movement. I hated the kid like animation. I just hated it. I really would like to take a lawn mower make bloody waffles out of them.

Only a female pirate in a work of fiction/fantasy would show her belly button (to appeal to young male consumers of that sort of pulp literature). Real female pirates are probably all butch lesbians and would not dress like a woman.

Not true.

Damn it. Now I have to give you evidence. :angry:

But you're right about the belly button part. But for that case, that would mean real gay pirates would unlikely show their belly buttons as well.

In any case, I hate the cartoon. lolwut=that cartoon

I wouldn't be surprised if sodomy was widespread in pirate ships, deprived as they were of female companionship for long periods of time and unprincipled and unbound by the Bible as they were.

Pirates tended to work certain areas, and would rarely stay far from port unless they had a specific mission or target. They would have gotten a decent amount of women from brothels and raids.

Sodomy was much more widespread in conventional navies, though a pirate's lifespan was much shorter.

Also, there would have been plenty of Christianity with pirate crews. The ones that could read likely read the Bible, and most pirates came from a conventionally Christian society.

Surely they would not have taken the Bible seriously if they were engaged in murder, rape, and pillage.

What you said just described the majority of warriors throughout history, yet so many were Christian.

That's a recurring theme in humanity: having a faith and not following it.

I suppose you could say pirates were as Christian as mercenaries during the Wars of Reformation.

Gay pirates, and other pirates, of the type we think of, worked in the tropics. It was hot it the tropics. Ergo, few except officers probably wore shirts, hence, exposed navels, unless they wore high pants, which were popular in their day.

Now, imagine being a captive cabin boy of, say, 15, on a pirate ship full of French or English criminals . . . just how long would you assume your butt would be safe?? Sodomy at sea has more to do with sexual release and less to do with being gay or straight. Again, Sed, please quit showing off your unbridled disgust of homosexuality with false assumptions and claims. There was LOTS of man-on-youth sex aboard pirate ships. Had nothing to do with any of them being gay. probably the same percentage as the general population.

I found that somewhat offensive. I understand its points and the truths within it, but the overall logic is flawed.

Exactly.

Ninjas have swords and daggers. Pirates have swords, daggers, and guns.

Ninjas walk on water. Pirates have ships filled with cannons and gun/sword/dagger wielding pirates.

Ninjas wear jumpsuits. Pirates wear cool costumes or just whatever the hell they want.

Ninjas have no pets. Pirates have parrots, monkeys, etc.

Ninjas are a racial prejudice against Asian cultures. Every culture has pirates, thus they are fair and equally represent the different people of the world. :D

Amusing video. And it reminds me that I had been meaning to review St Augustine again. I'm so awesome that I knew it would refer to him as soon as I saw the title "Pirates and Emperors." Thanks for posting that Esternarx.
