If there is a concern with cruise ships, maybe it's terrorism. Hopefully it doesn't become common. 

The Achille Lauro would be an example of that.

I never worry about this type of information. I am very sure that you will really not have to worry even.

This is so funny because i have never thought about a pirate in my life. I thouhgt they were actually made up if you want to know the truth.

My sister, when she was growing up, wanted to be a pirate as an adult. She's a teacher now! So yes I had thought of them, but only for comedic value.

It's crazy how they just bring pirates up and talk about them the way they do. Whn I first started reading I started laghin becuase I knew they were kidding,lol. But I figured out they were serious. Kind of made me feel silly for a second. But I'm going to actually read up on some pirate stuff since they exist.

I may be silly that I've never thought about pirates yet hehe.

 I've seen them in movies not did not yet realised about there real presence. Yes they are everywhere.

Kisna Im with you on that one. I thought that was just a movie fairytale of some kind. So are pirates something that throw people off the boat and drink wine all day long?

No! Nowadays they are just people who are terrorists in the same way as those who hijack planes. Take a look at this news story for a little more;

Oh so pirates hijack boats and murder people,hmmm. Makes me not want to take aboat and or a cruise with all this type of talk.

Or a plane for fear of hijacking, or a car for fear of crashing or carjacking, or a train for fear there might be a bomb on it.........

You can't live in a box. The world is one big fear story-we just have to make the best of it we can.

Thats pretty much it, you can try to avoid life but you can't unless you just stay in thehouse 24 hours a day every single day. You have to face it every once in a while and it just might be the day you choose to face it, that something happens. So why hide and not live.

That would be a very boring way to live I feel. I am not an adventurous person at all, but I love to travel and get out and about with my daughter. She deserves to see some of what I have enjoyed, and that won't happen if I over shelter her.

I know I feel the same way. I'm not into dangerous trips or anything that will jeapordize my sons safety but I do want him to be able to see more things.
