Colombian Hostages !

... or that someone will pay cash for him.

Nice one atw....

shaunbhoy would prefer to stay put hoping kind abductors will let him go, or that someone will pay cash for him.

Well I guess you have highlighted the difference there AtW. People WOULD pay cash for me, whereas in your case a headlong plunge into the jungle would seem a better option. I mean nobody outside of a circus freak show would waste good wonga extracting the likes of you from mercenary bandits. By the same token, you'd hardly be seen as much of a catch would you, unless they were particularly interested in shaking up the gene pool of the local Gibbon population, and even then they would have to be intent on diluting it!!

I'd rather take my chances in the jungle than await probably or even likely death without being able to fight back.

Of course being a good chap I won't just run away into the jungle - but setup camp nearby and kill abductors one by one with clever ambushes, then let all hostages free - you'd probably prefer to remain in your cell just to prove you are right though

Remind me, what percentage of Colombian Hostages have actually been killed in the last decade? Still 0%?
As for you taking your chances in the jungle, I doubt they would be very high for all your close proximity to the animal population.

Hostage killed in Colombia:

"Japanese executive Chikao Muramatsu was confirmed dead by Colombian authorities on Tuesday, nearly three years after he was kidnapped and sold off to Marxist rebels demanding more than $US20 million in ransom."

So what now will your gob-o'-sh1te spew out? Pathetic loser - for yours wifes' kids' sake I hope they are not yours

[shaunbhoy]

The rebel group kidnaps hundreds of people a year for ransom to pay for its four-decade-old war against the state. More than 1,400 people have been abducted so far this year alone.

So let's see, somewhere around 4500 in the last 3 years at that rate, and you have found one that was killed. Mmm. Figure the odds.
Now if you released all 4500 of them into impenetrable jungle without food, water, and maps, how many of them would have died then before rescue?
It's not hard alexei, it just requires a degree of analytical thought. That said, perhaps for you it IS hard!

You asked if its still 0%, and I immediately have shown proof that it is not 0% - this contrasts with your typical gob-sh1te attitude of not only never providing any independent sources to support your words, but also ignoring those that are provided to disprove your cheap words that would have had negative weight if it was physically possible in this universe.

Here is one more for you loser:

"Pope denounces terrorism 10 hostages killed - Colombia - Brief Article

COLOMBIA: Pope John Paul II again condemned terrorism and the use of violence for political purposes after 10 hostages were killed in Colombia. In a May 6 telegram, the pope condemned the "abominable attack" May 5 that led to the deaths of a provincial governor and a former Colombian defense minister held hostage for more than a year, as well as eight soldiers held hostage, some for as long as four years."

Pardon me, I can see I am dealing with a heavyweight here. Alright, if I use both articles you posted and lump the figures together I am still struggling to get to 1%. Not much of a gambler are you alexei? Tell you what, keep plugging away with the SKA. With milan's invaluable assistance perhaps you will one day make enough profit to treat yourself to a second hand caravan and a new inflatable bride.

Show link to a reputable source stating that there were 4500 hostages taken over period of 3 years there, so far I have provided 2 links to show that you are clearly wrong about 0%, now prove you are actually right about the top figure before %-tages can be calculated. I hope even a 'tard like yourself realises that relative numbers require at least 2 absolute numbers for calculation? Show link to 4500 figure now or withdraw it.

I gleaned the "more than 1400 so far this year" from YOUR link you bleeding jellyhead!!

I made the presumption that this is a typical year and multiplied the >1400 by three. FFS it is not hard!
Do try and keep up!
