    Under what law would they charge you with murder if you killed in international waters?
    You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      The same that they would be charged with piracy under?

        If they stuck with the peace part of their name as well as the green, then I'd be all for it.
        As would I.

        Resorting to Piracy shows the trouble with their claims as a peace organisation.

        If you're going to be pirates, at least have the decency to fly the Jolly Roger.

            Piracy? Yes. Twenty years in prison? No. Punished and fined to a lesser extent? Absolutely.

            Kind of reminds me of a funny/cool/pathetic story the Canadian military pulled a few years back. We had a good chunk of our military equipment (vehicles, etc) on a private cargo vessel returning from Bosnia, IIRC. The owner of the ship hadn't paid the crew due to some dispute or another, so the crew stopped the ship dead off the coast of Canada and refused to take it to port until they settled the issue with the shipping owner. The Canadian government tried to mediate, but neither side would budge. Eventually, we sent out some armed naval personnel on a helicopter, took over the ship and forced it to dock.

                      Um......... did any of you actually read the article?

                      They didn't seize control of the ship, they just chained themselves to it. They refuse to leave until the ship turns around. I can't believe anyone would consider that piracy. Trespassing, certainly, and probably some other minor crimes, but nothing like piracy. No threats, no violence, no force. Just hoping that their insistent presence can effect change.

                      Criticize Greenpeace if you want to, but don't lie about what they do.

                        have you ever worked for their street crew? it's one of the ****tiest jobs ever. you have to meet quota...

                        ****ers. granted, they're not as bad as ELF, but they're just about as irritating and inane, as well as self-sabotaging, as say, PETA.

                          puh-lease. Everyone knows that 'Frankenfood' is in the core of the enviromentalist movement.

                            The key, of course, would just be to hire a couple of ninjas to deal with them. Ninjas hate pirates. With one swipe of a ninja sword the pirates would be headless and then the ninja could pop a 10 foot boner for charity... OMFG ninjas rule!!!!! I gotta go lie down.

                              Sounds like piracy to me.
