I am not sure what the draw is, maybe the swords and guns. One of my sons asked why pirates wanted gold and treasure. We had a little discussion about pirates taking over ships and taking what was on board. He just sat there thinking and them said "oh....pirates are a little bit naughty I bet they got time outs when they took treasure that wasn't theirs." I just had to laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pirate-themes-amp-outfits#post-1110618 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 14:49:12 +0000 Mrsbells 1110618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: yeah I like jack sparrow too.. I think its the way its been presented to us in books and movies. Pirates are an okay thing but in real life they are terrifying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pirate-themes-amp-outfits#post-1110416 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:51:22 +0000 chopsuey 1110416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never really thought about it, but I have no idea why people like pirates so much! I &lt;3 Captain Jack Sparrow though :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pirate-themes-amp-outfits#post-1110254 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 12:51:25 +0000 Mrsbells 1110254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until recently I always saw nothing wrong with pirate themed events and outfits, but lately with the new Tom Hanks movie coming out I think its raised more awareness and more people are talking about it. I'm starting to wonder why pirates are seen as a fun or cool character to dress us as since they are actually dangerous and to be feared. How do you feel about this, has any recent events or this movie changed your ideas? </p>
