I am not saying that everyone there is without morals but i understand why these men are pirates in one of the poorest countries in the world. Do not condemn them, they have experienced more turmoil than anybody else.

Just because somebody's had a tough life doesn't mean we can't condemn then when they commit crimes. These pirates don't steal to survive, they steal to get rich. They have a very luxurious lifestyle.
Saying that a society is based on theft, revenge, and murder is very racist indeed, even if you don't intend to be racist. It's even more racist because it's completely false. The vast majority of Afghans/Pakistanis/Somalis are honest, moral people who think that murder and theft are horrible things.

Its funny how you want to believe your false perception is true.
Someone that has born in the culture says its tribal and you shrug it of like its nothing.
Regardles of where you might have lived the vast majority of Afghans/Pakistanis/Somalis are tribal.
So are Saudis and Qataris etc, nothing to do with wealth or even education, its the culture.
