Dr Dan's Comments

Countries with relatively small populations, small land masses, little in the way of natural resources shouldn't be anywhere on this list. The only way they got there was with colonialism and other crimes against humanity.

He was a PhD student who was head over heels in love. Hey, at least it gave our idiot politicians some impetus for keeping us "safe" by proposing new legislation!

None of you know WHY or HOW they became "pirates".
Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, "Hey, I think I'll risk my life committing crimes on a rickety boat 30 miles offshore!"
Somalian waters were the world's dumping grounds after their government fell apart. Their waters were so polluted that the fishing industry was decimated.
Initially, fishermen got in their boats to prevent ships from dumping toxic waste off their shores. When the ships ignored them, they were compelled to attempt to board in order to stop the illegal dumping. But the dumping continued and now the fishermen have turned into "pirates" by "fishing" their waters for ships.

I agree, Zombie.
If an American company can profit more by making their products outside the USA, then what's wrong with that? Would people rather the American company go out of business because their workforce here is too expensive, thereby making the product too expensive that no one would be willing to buy it? If an American company ultimately made the profit from the sales of these products, then what's wrong with that? Would a Japanese person not buy a Toyota because it was manufactured in their plant in the USA? It's a global economy. Politicians are just doing what they do best: play politics. Aren't these the same people who renamed french fries to "Freedom Fries". Come on, they're obviously pandering to their ignorant, nationalistic, protectionist constituents and veiling it under the banner of patriotism.

So, if I have a business that competes with the one across the street and I CRUSH them by being better...am I supposed to feel sorry? Should I not be so good in order to drive some customers their way???

Has anyone asked the LOSING team if they ever WANTED to forfeit??? So they lost. Big deal. Now everyone wants to bail them out for losing? Oh, yea. That's what we do nowadays; we bail out losers.
