So, you think your a Pirate eh?

Being a Pirate ain’t what it’s cracked up to be any more. Let’s define the traditional term first:

PIRATE. A sea robber, who, to enrich himself by subtlety or open force, setteth upon merchants and others trading by sea, despoiling them of their loading, and sometimes bereaving them of life and, sinking their ships; Ridley’s View of the Civ. and Eccl. Law, part 2, c. 1, s. 8; or more generally one guilty of the crime of piracy. Merl. Repert. h.t. See, for the etymology of this word, Bac. Ab. Piracy

Source: Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

So, the modern term does truly apply here does it? But hey, let’s take an old term and twist it so that those who fall under the establishment’s decision or radar, will be branded as such. This usually happens when a language doesn’t have the right words to properly describe something.

What gets me is how far they will push this concept and to what extent they will go to prove they have a valid term and claim against those that oppose them. Take

  3. “How this action can be accomplished, also, with what commissions?” (Translation courtesy of Babelfish).

    Well, not sure exactly what you are asking there. Being a pirate does come with certain hazards (the British Navy constantly chasing you, forcing you to hide in your Pirate Cove with your loot) or mutiny from your crew should you turn out to be a greedy captain and save all the best wenches for yourself.

    As for commissions….well, you do get branded ‘captain’ if you manage to acquire a ship. Good luck with that though…..oh….I heard that the Black Pearl is a nice ship to have.

    Translation:

    Наилучшим образом, не уверено точно чего вы спрашиваете там. Быть пиратом приходит с некоторыми опасностями (великобританским военно-морским флотом постоянн гоня вас, принуждающ вас спрятать в вашей бухточке пирата с вашей добычей) или мятеж от вашего экипажа должны вы поворачиваете вне для того чтобы быть жадным капитаном и сохранять все самое лучшее wenches для себя. Как для комиссий….наилучшим образом, вы получаете затавренное ‘ captain’ если вы управляете приобрести корабль. Удача с тем хотя ….. oh….Я услышал что черная перла славный корабль, котор нужно иметь.

Having been active around technology for almost 30 years, and seeing many people failing to grasp both it’s importance as well as it’s basic usage, I decided it was high-time to show the world how idiotic they can be. People simply need to have a bigger vision of the tools that have been given to them.
