What is the difference between both modern day pirates and pirates?
Both groups are considered violent, antisocial, and mostly in poor health. Pirates are lawless, and both the early ones and their modern equivalents killed without regard. The early pirates may been less violent, and probably didn't torture the people they killed. Modern pirates use the violence to send a message, and will dismember people and torture them in a effort to get more money. Piracy is a capital offense and has been since the 1700's, so pirates very rarely come a shore. Early pirates established small settlements on Caribbean Islands, where they could hide from military ships that hunted them. Modern, Somalian pirates, sometimes take control over coastal towns, where they can protect themselves and the things they steal. Earlier pirates usually suffered from scurvy, which is caused by a lack of fruit nutrients in the diet. They spent most of their time on the sea, so many of them were malnourished. Modern pirates still suffer from malnourishment, but better food preservation technology has limited this. Much of what modern pirates steal is illegal drugs, so many suffer from drug addiction.

What other than an eye patch are common with pirates?
That depends on which type of pirate you mean, the real kind or the fictional kind. Real pirates, either historical or modern, are robbers, kidnappers, and murderers. Most pirates commit their crimes for profit or they come to the life by coercion or out of desperation from lives in dire circumstances. They wear an eye patch only if they have an injury to their eye. They dress in clothing representative of their period. They are armed with whatever weapons are available in their historical period. Ancient pirates used spears, swords, and knives; when firearms became available, they added those to their arsenal; today's pirates are armed with the firearms of today. Historical pirates often got their bravado from alcohol; today's pirates more often use illegal drugs for the same purpose. Pirates boats and ships, their arms, and their provisions are most often stolen or the spoils of piracy. Historical or modern pirates were and are dangerous people who often have little regard for the lives of others. Fictional pirates may have some of the following in common. Yelling RRRR Cutlasses Bandannas Tricorner Hats Wooden legs Jugs of rum Stolen goods Stolen ships

Who are pirate?
In the days of the sailing ship, pirates were the blood-thirsty thieves of the unchartered seas. Pirates were common along the shores of Africa and in the Caribbean, where they would attack ships that were taking supplies to trade with the settlements there. In the modern day, piracy occurs off the coasts of Africa where there is no effective naval law. It also occurs in the islands of southeast Asia and to a lesser extent in the West Indies. The object of modern piracy is theft of vessels or ransoming their crews and cargos.
