Does a whale lover (pro-lifer) have the right and responsibility to try and change the laws regarding whaling (abortion)? Absolutely.

Does a whale lover (pro-lifer) have the right and responsibility to educate and convince the whaler (abortionist) that what he is doing is wrong? Absolutely.

Does the whale lover (pro-lifer) have the right to unlawfully harass, threaten or assault the whaler (abortionist) in the name of the greater good even though the practice is lawful? Don't think so. It is a very slippery slope.

Does the whale lover (pro-lifer) have the right to kill the whaler (abortionist) in the name of the greater good? Nope.

Someone will make the argument that whales are not people but that further argues against the whale lovers. They would be better to spend their time saving people.

You know you do have a point. The rule of law is so overrated on this website. Vigilante justice just isn’t given its due here. We ought to apply your thinking to the problem of 0bama not being eligible for office and take matters into our own hands. You would agree that our Republic is worth more than the lives of a few whales wouldn’t you?

“commander Watson”

Did the fat drunk promote himself. Will he be “commodore” next season?

I love the show! It’s like the Three Stooges and Gilligan’s Island all rolled into one, and the best thing is:
The whalers always win.....

So, how long is Watson getting in the japanese prison system?

When losing an argument about piracy on the high seas change the subject to IQ tests. Throw that straw-man in the water and yell "man overboard!" and try to get the other guy to jump in the water with it.

When the drowning straw-man gambit fails try to convince everyone else that you know more about straw-men than the guy who didn't fall for it. Red herring.

We've got the nautical theme going still at least. You're at least as smart as Spongebob. LOL

The show is kinda like watching the “Three Stooges at Sea”.

No the Three Stooges knew exactly what they were doing. With the Sea Hippies the stupidity isn't an act.

Well he was captain last season and he is only a commander now. Must have go busted down a rank for cracking up the bat boat. Can't wait until he gets down to Lieutenant J.G. Watson and has to clean out the puke buckets.

The problem with your analogy is that there is no evidence that Sea Shepherd has UNLAWFULLY assaulted anyone. Nor has their harrassment been deemed unlawful, probably because the weight of the law is against the poachers.

Let’s say Roe v Wade is amended. The States may only perform abortions for scientific research. A clinic in Kansas starts doing 3rd trimester abortions in the name of scientific research. The rest of the country abides by the spirit of the law and ceases allowing abortions.

Think some of us might harrass the phony science research abortion mill in Kansas? You betcha.

You throw a Snapple bottle of rancid butter at me that is an assault and UNLAWFUL.

Fowling a ships propeller and rendering it helpless on the high seas in and attack and UNLAWFUL

Boarding a ship on the high seas with out the permission of the ships master that is UNLAWFUL


All of the earlier actions were shown to have occurred on the Sea Hippies own video.

Glad you were finally able to figure out the Stanford Binet reference apparently by going to a search engine as suggested. I do have to concede the standard bidet play on words does indicate an above average intelligence. So how come you don’t think like me?

Yeah- it'd be good to see him actually DO some of the dirty work he tells the others to do for once. That guy is disgusting, egomaniac who wants to be king, but not do any of the work. He uses dumb kids who are so messed up psychologically that they don't see how callously they are being used. It's all for the money, since they never actually save anything.

And how do they know the whales want to be saved even ? Maybe they WANT to die in order to feed people ? The psychological projection of the rescuers is pathetic, it's actually painful to watch their narcissism played out on TV for the whole world to see.

It's more like a soap opera than anything else.

Who cares about that failed straw-man? FWIW I looked it up before you suggested it. Evident by the time stamps on our posts.

So how come you don’t think like me?

I use my head. So, answer the question...

We ought to apply your thinking to the problem of 0bama not being eligible for office and take matters into our own hands. You would agree that our Republic is worth more than the lives of a few whales wouldn’t you?

“You throw a Snapple bottle of rancid butter at me that is an assault and UNLAWFUL.”

Geez, I’d hate to get in a snowball fight with you. Probably wind up taking me to small claims court. (Sir, we are not going to arrest him for throwing a snowball at you. Please do not call 911 again over this kind of behavior)

in the trial in Japan going on right now , one crew member testified he got an inch square rash for less than 2 days after contact with the stink bomb.
He did not seek medical attention.

Waaaaaaaaaah!

Dude, the high seas are not Africa, and Paul Watson is not an agent of any government. If you have a letter of marque and reprisal you are the agent of a government and can exercise enforcement of laws and treaties. No letter of marque and reprisal and you are a pirate. It is just that simple.
