Hi mylotters, I like to watch movies with pirate as the hero or villain. I like to watch their adventures in the sea and even in land. I am curious of their lives and wonder if they still exist now days. I like to watch Pirates of the Caribbean latest movie flick. I truly enjoy the funniest adventures, a combination of humor and action at the same time.Do you like to watch a pirate theme movies? I do.. Have you already seen a pirate in real life or not yet? Are you interested to meet them and why?

never seen a pirate but heard a lot of them in news and paper. they are quite scary. i never imagine them even in my dreams. they are bad people so being near them could be dangerous to your life. the worst they could kidnap you in exchange of a ransom money and worst getting killed. i won;t like those to happen to me. so just like other respondents it may better to just watch them in movies, it more safer.

yes that all know and many people say the same thing. they are afraid to meet a real prate since they like to take advantage of other people and interested to steal anything that has good values such as looting other people possession and doing heavy damages to property. think it better off now for me to just watch movies.

hello there too..I am so excited to see real pirate and in terms of costume pirate. i already seen some in the amusement parks in my place. but really so amazing seeing them in real life not just in the movies alone. just wonder if they kidnap me or are they friendly just like normal being even though they are not pirate. probably they are some good too not all bad images as i seen in some movies portrayal.

Real pirates are threat to human life, they were not the cold costume heroes we see on movies. They kill and steal from boats and ships. They hostage people and ask for ransom money. As far as I know there are real pirates in Somalia, they were really feared by the international community.It's fun to watch them in movies where the search for treasures and five other pirates but I don't want meet them personally because they were a group of criminals that lurks around the oceans. They were much more dangerous than sharks.

so they really get scary but in the movies i find them very interesting. but in real life just like you mention they are criminals. but if the pirate look like Johnny Deep maybe i am not going to think twice to meet him..lol..he is so funny in portraying as a pirate man. anyway, if pirate are really bad i think i just be contented watching them in movies or watch stage play with actors playing pirate..

Two Halloweens ago I dressed like a captain Pirate, I don't look like Johnny Depp though, can look more like a villain pirate who is going to kill people. Lol, I'm considering to watch the latest eyes of the Caribbean movie though lots of the original characters were not in the cast.I think real life pirates who are most likely to smell bad because they don't take a bath, they don't change clothes and they don't brush their teeth.

i think people who do a piracy is a pirate to. it's that true? well, like a sofyware, they do that and they become an enemy of sofwtware industry, but they were hero of other people who use a software.

lol.. that true the only differences they do it more in a peaceful manner. it is more of a business mind set with absence of violence.but they still steal other people property and that s the right to license and distribute an illegal copy which is against the law.

I also like Pirates of Caribbean but I don't wish to met pirates for real. They seemed scary for me specially when I heard news about pirates who rob ships and they even kill people.

hehehe..yeah, right many say the same things because they look so nasty and bad. also based on the news they rob and killed people or hostage them and only release them for a sum of money. that things so i would not like to experience. but i just like to meet them just like a reporter if they would allow me to have a little interview about their adventures. about topics like their life or if they have a family or loved ones. since being pirate they are always in the sea and waiting for their next victim.

You're kinda adventurous and need more courage to interview them. They're kind of terrorist but just on the sea. Good luck!

Of course there are still pirates! obviously they don't all look like Jack Sparrow, as those movies are set hundreds of years ago when the Europeans were colonising the world via the oceans! Surely though, you MUST have seen the news, piracy is rife in areas like the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. There are literally hundreds of attacks every year, and scores of hijackings, though it'd be highly unlikely that they would be wielding a sword and more likely to be spraying their victims with an AK47! No I wouldn't like to meet one, as the only reason for that would be if I were kidnapped at sea and held for ransom!!

yes that all true.pirate are really scary and they could not be trusted cause most are scammer and the worst things they could be a murderer. and those prate i seen are based from the movie. just like anybody response prate are very hard to dealt with as they are like to screw people and most like to kidnap people to get ransom.

me too but it is very interesting to see and talk to them in real lives. i like to ask them many question and try to wear prate dress. i wonder how do i look in the mirror. i also like to ask them about their adventures. not only interested in watching pirate movies but also like to know real pirate in the history, like those features in movies if they are real names or just sort of anonymous names.

No,I haven't seen any real pirate and I don't wish to,but those with a sense of adventure who are very curious to meet them should travel around the coast of Somalia,and I guess they will come face-to-face with them,so their curiosity will be satisfied;however,if they or their relatives didn't have enough money,they might not live to describe what those pirates are like.

lol..same with me i am just curious to know them if they would allow me just a friendly like doing an interview if they would not mine like an autobiography of their life. maybe i could write a script about them meaning another new pirate movie in the making. since some movies we saw were not really true story and just intended to entertain movie goers. it really need a lot of guts to meet them in real life just like in movies and what i heard from the news they quite nasty and scary and nobody like to be closer to them..

I saw this guy down by the beach one time in a raft that looked like the raft Jack Sparrow rowed in on in the beginning of the 1st movie. It was so awesome. I remember it from when I was a kid, he wasn't a real pirate he was just some looney guy tring to pick up women. Don't think it went as planned for him but it was still a cool sight to see!

really? that must be really funny and if i were you i would really stared on him for a long time but in a manner he would never know. i am a little bit shy but i am just really curious about all pirate things..well, based on your experience i could say that you enjoy seeing or watching a pirate movie. though, in some movies and news they are really quite scary and only few like to interact with them..
