Yep, that really brought home to me the full-scale dehumanization of an entire race.

Our future leaders...God help us.

Is this a total spoof?

Okay...this is flakey...these were posted on the slavery thread...I think.

I also think I'll end posting for tonight, with my apologies.

How come on the 4th link (um, the "ra" link), the graphic seems to portray the vicious female pirates as lesbian porn stars with swords?

Actually, I think many pirate enthusiasts, counting myself among them, feel the simplicity and freedom of the classic pirate lifestyle, so far as we can see today (that is), appealing.

You made your own fate, and, best of all, the opportunity was there...

Thank you, Hashashin and Mulp, for such courtly manners.

Now, go out and sack something already...

Good post.

But I have to say, lesbian pirates: probably not as hot as it sounds. : )
