I was watching The Unit tonight on television. In case you aren't
familiar with the show, it's about a U.S. military special operations
team.
As the show began (Season 2, Episode 19 — "The Outsiders") they
showed a couple members of the operations team, and below them on
the screen was the legend Papua, New Guinea.
But the actors portraying the local people were black. And the mode
of dress was definitely African.
I guess somebody forgot to tell the director of the show that Africa
is on the opposite side of the frigging planet from New Guinea.
Or at least almost.
But, hey — Guinea, New Guinea — it's all the same thing, right?
Jeezus.
Maybe I should write the show a letter. And offer my services as an
"anthropological consultant" for, say, $120K per year.
I agree.Warriors was pretty intense. The one I liked best was Whale Rider. What a great movie.
Yes, you should do that :up:About a month ago there was article in local newspapers on line about "Somalian pirates who took in custody French ship near the coast of Nigeria" :yikes: :faint: I couldn`t resist to write them a mail and ask is there someone who actually read the texts before publishing them on line. That person must be fired because of lack of primary school knowledge of geography. And it was not the first mistake of that kind I have found in a year or so. His/her English translation sucks as well. I mean, there are much more unemployed people who could use that job very well."Once were Warriors" is excellent movie :up:
I haven`t heard about it. Will check on IMDB.
Here are some pretty cool stills from it.The little girl wants to become the first female leader of her tribe, and among other things she learns to fight with the fighting sticks.
There are Somalian pirates off the coast of Nigeria, Darko. Your newspaper is right about that one. The pirate menace. Danish navy vessels have captured about 12 somali pirates since mid November. Problem is, what to do with them.
Martin, sorry but it doesn't make sense to me. Nigeria is few thousand kilometers west of Somalia and they have their own pirates – my friend worked few months in Nigeria and told me their pirates are mostly members of local tribes.Somalian pirates would have to float all over Horn of the Good Hope and South Africa to get into waters they don't even know and to try to hide among people who don't support them.On the other hand, I am not a :pirate: what do I know???:D
I understand your confusion, Darko 😉 I see your point. I don't know more than you about where the pirates are from. I think maybe it is because the first pirates caught were from Somalia, and now the media automatically thinks that all pirates are Somali. In fact there's much confusion about them, especially what to do with them. If a guy tells you he is from Somalia and maybe even has a fake Somali ID, but the Somali authorities doesn't recognize him as a citizen… :faint: However, pirates are a problem. The Chinese have problems with pirates too.
Yes. And north part of South America :left:
"Problem is, what to do with them."Make 'em walk the plank! :lol:It could be that "Somali pirates" is a generic term now. Or perhaps they are really pirates from Somali, but their range of operation is far afield. After all, in olden days English pirates just didn't prey off of England and Spanish pirates just didn't prey off the coast of Spain.I'm just guessing.
Exactly, Ed. I first heard about the problems with 'Somali Pirates' in october last year when the Dansih navy had to send a couple of ships to 'sort out the matter'. I thought, 'Hey, the code is, if you catch a pirate ashore, you hang him, and if you catch him offshore you make him walk the plank'. No, problem. But nonono. We cant just kill people like that. Better call them 'refugies', bring them back home and give them house and shelter for twenty years on tax payer's money.They're bleedin pirates. I say, 'Ang 'em!AHRG…;)
Aye, them scallywags deserve everything that's comin to em! 😆
Aye, confounded scoundrels and rouges, the lot af em! As if the world hadn't seen enuff thievin bastards. Speakin of which, I hear ya finally got rid of that double crossin warmongerin Admiral Bush of yours. Mighty fine young man ya got instead, so I've heard!:pirate:
"Black George" will soon be a landlubbin rottin guest speaker, like he always was. Hangin's too good for him — but I wouldn't mind it.
I have heard waters near Somalian shore are full of sharks :whistle:
