it is not illegal - the japanese are allowed to harvest these whales for science - now if its the science or biology - thats one thing - science of food is another....BUT - why dont they try and get the law changed instead of endangering LEGAL fisherman, trying to support their families.

I cant respect anyone that would hinder that

Do you guys support the Somali pirates as entrepreneurs?

somali pirates are illegal

Japanese fishing - presently legal -

I support the law

I support these liberals.

plainly - because both you and them are acting emotionally instead of thinking through your position

To poorly paraphrase a line out of the movie “Broken Arrow”

sic “I don’t know, it shows a lack of total commitment”.

If they were SERIOUS about saving whales they would have let the Japanese ship run over the cabin of their little boat and they could have written off the crews as martyrs to their cause.

Fire a high powered green laser at me, in an attempt to blind me and I will shoot back with real bullets. The Japanese ship should have turned around and made a second pass over their hull.

What the enviro-wackos are doing is to declare a personal war against Japan. I would not be unhappy in the slightest if this group found a limpet mine attached the hull of their boat and they were sunk to the bottom of the Antarctic sea.

If we (Americans) are against terrorist fundamentalists then we need to not make a distinction to what cause the terrorists fight for or against.

Actually, what you're supporting is the Japanese using a loophole to get around the law.

There are no good guys in this fight.

Ady Gil has been sunk! Yeah! Bastards

I don't think it got sunk, but it did get shortened quite a bit. With a carbon fiber hull that probably means salvaging the engines and electronics and sending the rest to a landfill. Unlike an aluminum boat you can't recycle carbon fiber. So much for being green.

” you can’t recycle carbon fiber. So much for being green”

Well, we all know “green” is about green and not anything concerning the planet.

“They are not trying to harm anyone. “

Green lasers are harmful and using them an act of aggression worthy of violent reaction. These are not “harmless” liberals.

They actually PREVENT whales from being killed...

Bull...they don't prevent anything. They have YET to prevent the fleet from making their quota. Even Paul Watson admits that.

Pirates...hmmm...SSS are pirates.

Not trying to harm anyone? You admit you watch the show...so I guess you are not able to put 2 and 2 together? Let me enlighten you:

When you are attempting to foul a prop line...you are doing so in an effort to disable the vessel...so it cannot move. Having no steering in the open ocean is a death sentence as your ship will capsize in heavy seas.

On more than one occasion they have attempted to prop foul the ships in heavy weather. If they were to succeed...the ship would have likely floundered killing all on board.

And you sit here and say they aren't trying to HARM anyone? OMG....

They are vigilantes standing up against illegal whaling and protecting the whales.

And you are wrong there too. What they are doing is not illegal. They are obeying the laws as written. They are exploiting a loophole in an "international law" so that they can eat whale meat. The law allows them to harvest for research then sell the meat. The law doesn't say how the research is to be conducted. Technically there is nothing illegal.

Hmmm...wonder how many loopholes you exploit every day....or how many you will exploit come tax season.

I imagine some time in the future if the UN decides to make us all stop eating pork...will you exploit any loopholes...or will you just support the vigilanties that are trying to kill us while we exploit the loopholes?

The Shonan Maru No. 2 suddenly started up and deliberately rammed the Ady Gil ripping eight feet of the bow of the vessel completely off.

cos 500 ton 12 knot fishing boats can get up to flank speed from stationary within a few metres.

I assume that the crew will be arrested the moment they get back to port for attempted maiming?

Should have left them to drown.

We don't but you apparently do.

Would you care more if they were killing (cute) Polar Bears?

No.

I support these liberals. They are not trying to harm anyone.

Yes they are. Green lasers blind. That is trying to harm.

Do any of you critics ever watch their TV show?

Let me guess, you loved "Fahrenheit 9/11"?

This is a good read:

http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/paul-watson-sea-shepherd-and

Greenpeace calls out (erstwhile comrade) Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd for their dangerous stunts and general bullcrap. Whatever our disagreements with many of Greenpeace’s positions, at least they seem to sincerely respect ALL life (including human life) and are committed to non-violence.

Scriptural verses denoting mankind's dominion over animals.

Genesis 9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
