So here it is Pasta Boy, your false religion was started in September, fact or fiction?

Grounds for that claim? something you need to substantiate before we even look at the other attempts to clutch at straws in your post.

Re: Talk Like a "Pirate" Day is OFFENSIVE!

Like England and France never issued Letters of Marque?

In the same way that America has used "terrorists" to further their cause when it suited them, not always such a good idea though.

Gentlemen,

Through past readings (you have a lot of time for that on the sea) the most famous American sponsored pirate turned privateer is Jean Lafitte who through his and his brother's poor decisions fell in and out of favor with locals, local politicians, local militia and the US Navy itself. His band were helpful in repelling the British during the War of 1812 which resulted in he and his group being granted full pardon by the US. He was later killed by Spanish privateers during a time in which he was still acting as a US privateer though without a letter of marque, making him essentially a pirate again.

In your attempts to rebuke me on this issue would you like this to clutch at Jimmy?

So here it is Pasta Boy, your false religion was started in September, fact or fiction? The Mooslim hoard attacked the USA in September, fact or fiction?
It is obvious to all with the exception of you, that the Mooslims attacked the USA as a retaliation for the creation of Pastafairimnusm. How does it feel to have the red blood of Godly Americans on your hands pasta boy?

Like a terrorist and a freedom fighter, depends on where you are looking from, who won, and who wrote the history.

Really. Privateers are no different than the mercenaries like the Hessians that England employed during the American Revolution. Your statement is a blatant attack on the Free Market, crass classwarfare and you should be ashamed of yourself. That is like saying Blackwater is just a common gang of trigger happy thugs.

Burn a Koran Day is when REAL Americans take a stand against terrorism. There are no place for pirates there. The original terrorists.

Depends on what language you abuse or use towards me, dear lady!

Also, Freddie is correct about oh aye!

Re: Talk Like a "Pirate" Day is OFFENSIVE!

Oh yar?

Almost, you are getting there, that should be "Oh Aye"

Re: Talk Like a "Pirate" Day is OFFENSIVE!

Am I just thinking about the fact that pirates spoke English (or French most common I think) and not American? My thoughts of American should not be mentioned here for it's off topic! Also I think it's a splendid day because the world today is far too serious for the good of any Christian.

Oh yar? And what "language" does an "UnHolyDoofus" speak?

Privateers and Pirates are two different things.

Many of those also "Backstabbing murderers" fought for the United States in the Battle of New Orleans, they are entwined in the history of your Nation, as I keep pointing out, were it not for them America as you know it today would not exist.

Now I do accept that many round the world could see that as grounds to find Talk Like a "Pirate" Day offensive, but for an American to say it is, is to reject your own country's history.

Privateers and Pirates are two different things. Privateers are contractors who apply the invisible hand of the Freemarket to War. Pirates are mere thugs who stole from whom ever they can. Privateers created the US Navy and didn't scamper off when the going got tough, Jeremiah O'Brien being a prime example and who spent most of his career capturing Royal Navy warships.

Simple showing up to the family picnic with some eye patches and stuffed parrots on Koran Burning Day isn't going for a quick round of dunk the Muzzie isn't going make pirates family friendly anytime soon. Sorry.

You want get into the lives of someone like Blackbeard or Roberts? Blackbeard deliberately drowned most of his crew by running the Queen Ann's Revenge a ground so he wouldn't have to share his loot. Roberts died because the ships company of the aptly named Royal Swallow was so debauched from a homosexual orgy the night before they were left incapable of escaping the HMS Fortune. A ship they had previously out sailed.

Backstabbing murderers and self destructive sodomites. Charming company your god keeps.

Re: Talk Like a "Pirate" Day is OFFENSIVE!

Now I ask again, as the Pirates were SO important to the History of America how could celebrating them be considered offensive?

You pirates are trying to corrupt a the traditional American family holiday of the annual Koran burning for your toxic lifestyle choice.

I see the Pasta freaks started on 9/19, so its your fault that the Mudslimes are pissed off, you insulted them.... Way to go ya pasta freak.

Re: Talk Like a "Pirate" Day is OFFENSIVE!

As I said

Talk Like a "Pirate" Day was not originated by Pastafairians but the Flying Spaghetti Monster relieved to Great Prophet Bobby Henderson that we should observe it as a Holy Day.

Now I ask again, as the Pirates were SO important to the History of America how could celebrating them be considered offensive?

I suppose if you are a Spanish Speaking Catholic you could have some issues with it. Are you a Spanish Speaking Catholic Bobby-Joe?
