“Why are whales “so special”. No one has EVER given me a decent answer to that.”
Cause they’re brighter than you? Tell you what. The whales are running where I live. We’ll go whale watching, then, just for you, we’ll go up in the hills and watch some cows grazing.
“Some animals are more equal than others.”
You do realize we humans are in fact animals?
“Those useful idiot hippies have probably aborted more babies than any number of whales they have “saved”.”
Or they might be zealously pro-life. That would be more consistent, wouldn’t it?
Whatever you do, please do NOT hang up the phone. I wish you happiness and health. Great entertainment.
You do know the Japanese are illegally killing those whales in a protected area?
I have no sympathy for the Japanese here at all and they are taking advantage of the fact that no government wants to patrol these waters.
Think of it like some independents were off the shore of California stopping illegals from entering the country by sea. (I bet they would HATE that comparison).
The Japanese are illegally whaling in a protected area, so I would NOT in this case want to see the Sea Shepherd people on the losing end of this one.
What they are doing is like if some citizens went out into California waters to prevent boats from dropping illegals onto shore.
You mean the Japanese?
“I’m just waiting for the report of dead hippies at sea.”
Guess you’ll have to wait a little longer. They won. Are you man enough to admit you were wrong, or is there not enough sunlight in that basement apartment for you to look yourself in the mirror?
The whales have had some very decreasing numbers so some areas for periods of time have been made off limits to allow their species to come of off potential endangered species lists,
Japanese don’t give a F’ and just illegally go in to fish in the protected areas for easier fishing.
These activists are blocking the whales from being processed on the factory ship so the Japanese go broke and find it unprofitable to whale in illegal waters.
That is about it and why.
“Call to the captain ashore, sending us home.”
Breaking news! They won!
My wife heard that in the news, that this time they really made the Japanese suspend almost all of their whaling in that protected area.
Good for them.
They did all the fund raising.
They came up with non violent ways to combat the law breakers.
They put their life on the lines in places where no ambulance could come if disaster struck.
They have guts.
I predict the Japanese will have or already have another factory ship processing whales while this group is busy with this one.
” I think (admiral Watson) is dangerous. I think he wants to see one of his “crew” killed so he has a martyr.”
Or either that or send’em all home safe and sound as heroes! Oh wait, that is what happened! Are you man enough to admit you were wrong?
“.... and they’ve been doing it for at least a thousand years. They’ve got a freaking festival for it.”
Cool. Must respect all cultures equally. Politically correct donchaknow.
Say, I’ve got 2 tickets to Borneo where we will be meeting up with a very secluded backwoods tribe who still practice cannabilism who are about to have their annual “Lets lure 2 or more outsiders to the tribe and boil them for dinner” festival. They’ve got a freaking festival for it wanna come? It’ll be hot!
Oh yeah, they been doin it for centuries!
“I called her out on her BS and got a two word FU private response back. This little troll needs to be zotted.”
Would a public reply be better for you? Hey, Watson just won! Maybe that’ll make your blood boil enough to have an effect on that ed disorder you are struggling with!
“I’m just wondering how a noble eco-warrior such as you ends up on a conservative, seal-whackin’ site like this.”
Bub! How’d you get from conservative to seal whacking? Somebody whack you upside the head a little too often?
Here’ the skinny: Admiral Watson one, illegal whale poachers zero.
"zealously pro-life"? Be serious. Zealously pro-life people kill their babies? That is a level of logical gymnastics which challenges the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
You have some evidence they are pro-choice?
Now that is funy! Ahh the days. No more 20k leagues ride at Disney anymore. I loved that ride. It screamed 1960’s technology. Those fake fish were the best.
Nope, no problems there unless you’re projecting your own shortcomings. I called her out on her BS because she was posting a blatant lie, and obviously checking out your previous posts you love to be an ass towards anyone you don’t agree with. If you think that what Watson is doing is right then its my opinion that you’re an idiot, when someone does get killed on that show it will be because of jackasses like you cheering them on from behind a keyboard.
