They are in a very tight industry and the market information indicates that they have not got any reall supercool projects on for next year.\n\nAs there are lots of supercool projects in animation at the moment, indicating that Pentamedia are maybe not being as reponsive as they could be..\n\nBe careful with this sir...they price is low for a reason

Wow, interesting question.\n\nA quick search brings this up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates\n\nI'll have to do some research and come back to this one, as you've really got several parts to it.

A ninja has 57 hit points and is a level 123 fairy elf godess of the church of el ron hubbard the great f ag king with magic level 4 and a weed whacker blade level 82 capable of hitting a rock troll and ending thier entire species with one hit.\n\nThat is why there are no more rock trolls today. They have all turned into cannibus and are smoked regularly for our pleasure.\n\nStop asking questions about your LARPing (live action role playing) ninjer fantasies and either go to wwwbullshido.net and learn the real facts or continue to live in your dreamworld and go hug aishida kim or some other ninjer LARPer's nuts and live in a delusional fantasy world.

If you go back far enough everyone is.\nThey're nothing special only their forefathers were the most successful killers and robbers of their time.\nI should keep quiet about it , it's embarrassing.

Good question!  In fact, there are lots of them.  REAL pirates!\nModern-day buccaneers actively operate up the east coast of Africa all the way to Java on the far east side of the Indian Ocean.  Most recently, cruise ships and UN supply vessels have been attacked off the coast of Somalia.  Vessels plying the Straits of Malacca and the Java Sea are under constant threat of being taken - this includes vessels varying in size from pleasure sailboats all the way to container cargo ships.  It is a very serious problem!  Recent insurance estimates of losses due to piracy range from US$13 to $16 Billion!\n\nKeep your ears peeled to the news and you'll hear of it happening every now and then.

People attack others for more reasons than we can think of.  It's just like any other topic - the people that know the least about a subject seem to be the most critical.  It's called lack of intelligence.

A lot of it stems from the first X-Games in 90-something.  It was the first year of the X-Games and right along side people like Tony Hawk and Matt Hoffman, people who have been pros in their sports for years and years, there were rollerbladers.  Skateboarders and BMXers were upset that this brand new sport was getting just as much exposure as their sports which had been around for so long and that they had invested so much of their lives in.  For a lot of rollerbladers, this was the first time they heard the nickname "fruitbooters."  \n\nSince then, word has trickled down and even though our sport has progressed at incredible levels over the last ten years, skateboarders and BMXers are threatened by rollerbladers taking away their tv air time and sponsorship dollars.  Some of the biggest pros in their industries spend much of their time infront of people at companies like NBC and ESPN explaining why rollerblading shouldn't be allowed on tv.\n\nThe best rollerbladers today are skating way more technical than most skateboarders out there and are hitting stuff just as big as BMX can.  Our sport is coming up and like it or not, we will be just as big as or bigger than those guys one of these days.

Ninja were neither assassins nor rogue samurai.  They were spies.  You've been watching too many bad samurai films.  A samurai was a far superior swordsman and would easily beat a ninja in one-to-one combat.

They are catching up to these people that steal movies online. Don't get caught in the net my friend. The movies cost money to download,so you are actually stealing them when you go to them sites.

You're generalizing - everyone doesn't want to destroy everything.  There's a great deal of destroyers out there though & it's sad.  Those few cause lots of trouble for the rest of us.

A Letter of Marques could be issued by Congress according to the Constitution. I am trying to get one myself. There are Pirates all over the world, and they are costing people MILLIONS. Some are supported by governments. Think about a modern giant container ship with very little crew, and because of international law no weapons.. A small crew with fast boats and modern weapons can steal a ship easy. It happens all the time.They are terrorists on boats (remember the Cole?)

I agree with Twinkie...this "do not kill" talk is indeed rubbish.  \nYou may have noticed by now the vast amount of replies you have recieved defending the sacred and dear life of comedic genious Mr. Conan Christopher O'Brien.\nThere is no denying that a revolution has started!  Conan fans everywhere will rise up and bring you down! I advise you to go out and enjoy what is left of your life NOW...before it is too late.    \n\n\n\n(I've said too much)

Because society keeps coming up with new reasons to lock people up.  Used to be, two guys get into a fight, the police show up tell everyone to cool off and go home.  Now they are both locked up and must somehow find money for an attorney to defend them against charges of assault, assault with intent, making terrorist threats, etc.  Used to be we had peace officers, now we have law enforcers.  Completely different mindset.  We are a vindictive people who want to see everyone (except ourselves) punished to the fullest extent, for the most petty of infractions.
