we still have so called pirates out at sea in places like of the coast of china but they are just scruffy bandits. why cant we have real pirates with patches over an eye and a parrott and with a real pirate ship.. oh yea and a wooden leg maybe. as that would be so cool.

Probably would'nt be politically correct, or some animal activist would claim you are taking advantage of the parrot, so yo ho, ho and a bottle of evian!

Uh, cuz a cannon that takes five minutes to reload isnt much off a threat anymore?
for the record, those "scruffy bandits" would kick the crap out of Davy Jones. Usually using an AK47.

Actualy- there are more pirates now than ever! They are in places like the South China sea. They use fast boats with guns and machetes. I have a sailor friend who has been boarded and robed by them - They are NOT very nice!!!

Hahaha. The gold that the Spaniards brought from America to Europe in unsafe ships is over.
Have you read The Treasure Island recently?

I actually do have self belief that some attempt to guard there coast and waters, and they could call themselves 'coast take care of' in the experience that they want. there'll continually be someone that ruins it for something else, yet taking a hostage isn't a thanks to do it till they could instruct he become dumping waste. they ought to enable him bypass. something purely doesn't smell appropriate about this pirate ordeal IMO...

We do have pirates today. They don't dress like you said but they are called the IRS.
