FILIPINOS CAPTURED BY PIRATES?

Twenty Filipino seamen were among those on board a Panamanian registered bulk carrier that was hijacked by pirates off Somalia as it was sailing to the Gulf of Aden. I wasn't sure pirates existed today until I did more research and discovered pirating (not software) is big business....for the sea thugs. Our fellow countrymen have been bullied by pirates and are now held captive off the coast of Somolia which has a reputation of being chaotic to begin with. In any event, we should pray for their safe release. Here's more.

Where are those pirates come from? Caribbean? These day? Hope they drown and eaten by the sharks!

Yes, they still are out there. I remember a couple of years ago, some pirates in the coast of Africa tried to board a cruise ship. It was on the news and I saw it on Good Morning America.
Definitely Maybe!

Hey you, from the opposite side of the world! I found you!! I freaked out when I got your message that my Ecard wasn't showing up. I knew there was a problem, but didn't realize it was affecting other droppers *egads* So, I move it, and now it should work. Please come back and thx tons for stopping by and leaving me a message. You rock. *big kissies*

More importantly, these people who were hijacked. That's just plain weird. I had no idea they still existed either. Unbelievable.

I have been hearing more and more about these pirates, and it is so scary! Africa seems to have the worst of them.
