    Being a pirate isn´t the same as being a terrorist. Or was Captain Blackbeard an evil terrorist trying to sail his ships in some buildings?

    Well then, I guess pointing a cutlass at my abdomen isn't quite the same as threatening a building, but it sure would terrify me. It's all about your point (pun intended) of view, isn't it?

    So that woman who ran away from me one night (I was just walking home from work, happened to be the same road) should have shot me dead for terrifying her?

    Are you that terrifying Husar? Just kidding. I think if you came at her with a weapon, demanding her jewelry and money, she might just have a legitimate reason to defend herself, no? You didn't do this, did you?
