You don't have to and I don't think what's going on is funny either but I joke, that's what I do and my personality. I like to laugh. I was laughing at the situation or people being hurt on either side, well maybe the pirates a little since they get what they deserve. No one forced them to be pirates and screw with people who will kill them rather than deal. So I am fine with joking about them. It is s serious situation but what am I going to do about it? If see humor in something chances are I'm gonna say it. Wouldn't be the first time it bothered someone won't be the last.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
