LOL!
I wonder if hippies are any good to eat? They are mammals and vegetarian, so they probably should taste alot like pork.
By “seal-whackin’” I meant that few on this forum harbor much sympathy toward eco-terrorists. Which is what Long John Watson and his band of rowboat scalawags are.
I was wondering how a fellow traveler with Watson and Co. ever ended up here.
In your case, I can see that it’s the result of a tofu overdose.
” when someone does get killed on that show it will be because of jackasses like you cheering them on from behind a keyboard.”
Conversly then, when the Japanese government halts whaling, as they have just done, and every one of the Sea Shepherds return to Australia safe and sound, to a heroes welcome, it will be because of me, my monetary contributions to them, and brave souls such as our own cowgirl.
Gee, you’re making me feel kinda good about myself!
“I can see that its the result of a tofu overdose.”
I am always in awe of those who possess psychic abilities, especially those who can see all the way back to my past of three years ago, the last time I had tofu.
Seriously though, naysayers be on notice: THE JAPANESE HAVE STOPPED BOTHERING THE WHALES!
“By seal-whackin I meant that few on this forum harbor much sympathy toward eco-terrorists.”
Eco-terrorists: Someone who drives a spike into a tree to frighten and possibly injure a logger.
Sea Shepherd: Absolute commitment to non-violence. Recently disavowed association with skipper of Ady Gil for even bringing a bow and. arrow along. Not one documented credible injury or loss of life in all of the arctic ocean campaigns.
Average intelligence: the amount of intelligence needed to differentiate between the two examples above.
It never mattered to me whether they whaled or not, personally I have no problem with them going out and taking a few whales each year, there are plenty of the species they are hunting. What matters to me is a bunch of people dangerously interfering with a ship in international waters like they were doing and the tactics they employed. If you support what they do then where does it end? If you believe that global warming is killing your beloved whales will it be okay for them to do the same thing with supertankers someday? Even Greenpeace admits what they are doing isn’t cutting into the birth/death rate of any species hunted so this is nothing more than emotion driven at all levels here. Your love of whales finds it okay to do whatever is necessary to save them, cheering people on using their tactics is damn near supporting terrorism when you get down to it, and THAT is what I have always had a problem with Watson over.
“I wonder if hippies are any good to eat?”
They are, but I better not go any further with that one except to say if they have cholera you should avoid’em like the plague.
But we don't have Beef dead pigs and chickens insold and stocked in warehouses. "the annual increase in targeted Southern Ocean whales means that supply is already outstripping demand, a situation unthinkable for an ordinary business entity according to the accountant of a major audit corporation quoted by the Asahi Shimbun." "the Asahi Shimbun newspaper reported that the whalers were struggling to pay back $1 billion Yen in borrowed public funds. With a massive 4,000 ton stockpile of unconsumed whalemeat."
I pursue the Bell pepper’s deadly cousins, Tabasco and Jalopenas.
“Your love of whales finds it okay to do whatever is necessary to save them, cheering people on using their tactics...”
Non-violent intervention isn’t doing “whatever is necessary.”
Otherwise they would have slapped some C-4 on the Japanese whaling boats, (like the French did to Greenpeace) a long time ago.
(See above post re: average etc.)
I gave you the benefit of the doubt re the tofu. My other suspicion was bong-water poisoning ...
Naivete: the childish belief that the testimony of a self-righteous attention whore on his own behalf is more credible that the evidence of your own eyes.
I saw videotape of an episode in which one of Long John’s ships came up alongside a whaler that had a boom out with the avowed intent of tearing the boom off aand disabling the operation. Violence against property, as also cited in several quotations above, is violence too.
>>.... and theyve been doing it for at least a thousand years. Theyve got a freaking festival for it.
>Cool. Must respect all cultures equally. Politically correct donchaknow.
I’m not being hypocritical. I find whale meat tasty, and I think that the small group of people who do what they do should be able to do it.
It is hypocritical for lefties to use the “foreign culture=we don’t interfere” with everyone BUT the Japanese.
Your argument, however, is meaningless because a whale is not a human. It is a mammal, as is a cow, as is a pig. We eat those non-human mammals as well.
[Guess you were dead wrong. They werent playing no games. They were risking their lives for what they believe in. They won. Are you man enough to admit you were wrong?]
I will guarantee I am more man than you, and I’m not apologizing for anything. Whales are big cows, I see no problem culling the herd at a reasonable level. Whales are sort of like hippies, who also need culling for the general good.
“I will guarantee I am more man than you”
Not according to your wife....just sayin’
” Whales are sort of like hippies.”
Know what you mean. I spotted a group of Orcas hanging out singing old Bob Dylan songs. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re gonna say, but no, it wasn’t the electrified stuff, just pure acoustic.
I eat cows. I don’t need nor want your sympathy.
[I eat cows. I dont need nor want your sympathy.]
Hey, non was offered. You must be channeling sympathy from some whales, not me.
[Not according to your wife....just sayin]
Bwahaha. That’s the best you can do? A taunt out of third grade? Bwahaha, you are cracking me up. Keyboard macho at its finest.
Best I can do? Sea Shepherd won. That’s the best anyone could do. Afterwards she said, “He’ll never admit he’s wrong. That’s what I hate about him.”
