As a young boy I sang Waltzing Matilda every day before school. As I recall the Jolly Swagman comes to a bad end.

In summary: the Japanese hunt and kill a tiny percentage of the world's Whales each year.

Something else I pointed out recently was the percentage the Japanese take is actually less than what is allotted for Wolf culling in Alaska or Black Bear hunting in North Dakota.

Right. A little few ton racing vessel is going to ram a huge steel hulled vessel.

No one ever said they were smart. At that, the general consensus is they are idiots. However, the video is clear. You can see the Japanese ship going pretty much in a straight line and the smaller vessel accelerate (based on the wake) right into the larger ship.

What, a lotta you posters got mail order brides from the Rising Sun?

Getting a little racist are we? Figures, leftist hippies usually are.

The pirates should count themselves lucky. I don’t see a harpoon sticking in batboat, there ... nor do I see any evidence of an explosion.

These ARE eco-terrorists, in the same vein as Earth First and their tree spiking, dozer burning, HOUSE burning mind numbed vandalism.

“What, a lotta you posters got mail order brides from the Rising Sun?”

Now how is that important and NOT a knee jerk reaction on your part?
What do you have against Asians?

There are no terrorists anywhere around here. These are just amusement park flags.

According to whom? You? Don't make me laugh any harder than I already am.

Why don't you counter the facts submitted by the adults here that refute your premise? Or is that too inconvenient?

Excuse me, I have to return to work. Unlike some others whose only entertainment in life seems to be stirring up crap. Sad.

Boring article.

When you have a picture of Watson hanging by the feet ready for gutting, post it.

Man, I could really go for a cute whale-fed mail-order bride.

And - as a Japanese citizen - she would technically own an immense amount of foreign debt, so it would be like an investment.

You have nothing but insults while wrapping yourself under the flag of saying “No knee jerk reactions”.
And we’re supposed to discuss things with you while all you have are insults?

Their main catch is the Minke whale which is also not endangered.

Right. A little few ton racing vessel is going to ram a huge steel hulled vessel.

You are right, sort of. The video clearly shows that the little few-ton racing vessel actually ran in front of the huge steel-hulled vessel, and was run over.

A little passenger car isn't going to just run into a train, but sometimes they stupidly drive in front of trains and the trains hit them. And everybody knows it's not the train's fault.

Doing stupid things and hoping your opponent will do anything to not harm you isn't a wise strategy, especially if you know your opponend has replaced the whalers (who you seem to villify, but who the article clearly states would do almost anything NOT to harm the terrorists) with security people who seem much less concerned with protecting you from your own stupidity.

I’d love to see those explosive tipped harpoons fired into the Sea Shepard ships.
Hull them below the water line, heh heh heh.
About four should do it.

It’s too bad they didn’t have the proper equipment on the rescue boat to winch up the Lady Gill and save her. it was a nice boat and it’s a shame to see it broken by idiots.

I think it was the Ady Gill.

I guess you thought the “L” had been sheared off :0)

Even better, the idiots tried to tow it after watertight integrity was lost.
Hydraulic pressure fast forced the cracks that existed in the fiberglass hull.
Instant ocean pinata.

Just understand, in her culture she calls the shots. Nothing racist in making a comment about another culture. And I don’t know how someone was able to amend my posting with that “EcoNazis...” drivel.

Ronald Reagan did what he could to stop this illegal whaling. These guys are taking up the mantle. I’ll bet none of these negative posters have spent even a year at sea. To any seaman, the video is crystal clear.
