I suppose that the lack of law enforcement, ineffective government, civil wars, constant conflict between other nations, former totalitarian rule, war ravaged lands, former militants with nothing to do, and the incredibly high profit margin for piracy has absolutely nothing to do with there being Pirates. No, they were just innocent fisherman who were subject to their own nation's agreement to dump nuclear waste there, and the only reason they act out is because pirates are generally akin to unruly boys who have abusive parents.

monkeydudexD said: " i like the way you think ;D" There is a particular fallacy that I cannot remember the name of. Something like the fallacy of complex cause, or simplified cause, or exclusion. It basically works like this: A caused B, but then again so did C, D, E, F, G, H, And I. The fallacy is that you are emphasizing a simplistic cause to what is not a simple cause. The relationship is much more complicated, and emphasizing a single portion while excluding the rest is deception through omission. Did the nuclear waste dumping and fishing play a part? I'm sure it did. But, I will not use this to justify their actions when there are obviously countless more things, many more direct, that inspire pirates.
