The pirates are a global menace. There should be a major campaign against them by the UN.

All these pirates only come from three places though...Somalia, Malaysia, and Philippines...this topic is untouchable on boxingscene man...

Do the Filipino brothers veto the discussion or something?

There are folks on that boat being held until some rich dudes pay up. The Pakistani sailors got lucky, some rich Pakistani dude paid for them. What of the others?
