    I didn't overlook the first couple of words. The definition doesn't refer to any and all crime, but specifically to crime on a level of seriousness with hijacking.

    Some folk would say that stealing the world's resources in an International Whale Sanctuary was a lot closer to piracy - a…

    Britain excelled at teaching history

    Things have changed since I was at school, then. All I learned about history at school was that it was boring, boring, boring. We did one year doing Roman Britain (which was actually quite interesting) and all the Kings and Queens at double-quick speed, then…

    1. a crime, such as hijacking, committed aboard a ship or aircraft ....Yup, looks like it's number 2

    So when did this 'hijacking' take place, then?

    Throwing stink-bombs is not hijacking.

    Climbing on board a boat and having tea with the captain may be trespassing, but it's not hijacking.…

    As long as Japan keeps fishing whatever in a sustainable way (and as humane as poss) then, no problem

    The problem being that it is not possible to kill whales in a guaranteed humane way. The way most whales-for-the-table die would create a scandal if it happened even occasionally in…

    If you basically like your wife and don’t want to divorce her.... don't get a mistress, stupid.

    How dim are these men that they need advice like this? And what does the other woman see in these brains-in-their-pants so-called men?

    Sheesh.

    Yawn.

    Sea Shepherd will be on your tail again the next time you set out to 'research' more whales. Hopefully Greenpeace & Australia will be with them again and they will cut your catch still further.

    Phelps is gonna look awful STUPID counting all the money he has made!!

    I hope he doesn't look as stupid as the Thai boxer who was awarded $600,000 by the government for taking gold at Athens and blew it all on 'card games, soccer betting and excessive partying'. The government…

    in order to become a police officer, they go through very heavy screening process which includes the applicant and the applicant's family's past criminal history, political affiliations, etc.

    Criminal history yes (haven't got one), political affiliations, not that I know of (haven't got none of those, neither). If they…

    How can people get so excited about this????????????????? He won in a suit that he can't even put on by himself.

    Fair's fair, his rivals were also wearing suits they couldn't put on by themselves, so out of the field of swimmers he swam against in this year's Olympics, he's…

    would anybody like to hazard a guess as to when we see the first non-SE Asian looking police officer

    I know of at least one 'non-SE Asian looking' police officer who's been on the job a few years now and is doing very well in terms of promotion, thank you…
