I wouldn't want to be a POOR pirate; and most of them were. They had crappy diets, horrible medical care and most of them died ugly deaths at a relatively young age.
Now, if you had your own ship, a couple of buried treasure chests, and steady dibs on the comely lassies you plucked from plundered ships ... well OK then, maybe a decent career. Well, I mean until you got hanged by the government or betrayed by your crew and cleaved by a cutlass.

Is it normal that I want to be a pirate?
