Again, the point is that the Japanese have a different culture than you do. I lived in Wakayama prefecture for a while, have been to Taiji, have eaten whale and dolphin, and see no problem with a VERY SMALL segment of Japanese engaging in whaling. Whale meat is found very rarely in the Osaka area, and I have never seen it in Nagoya, Tokyo, or any of the other regions.

So you believe that whaling should end. More power to you. But there is no reason to send a bunch of hippies out on the seas, just as it is stupid to send a bunch of hippies into China and Korea to bother people about eating dog.

Yes, the Japanese military was brutal to the point of inhumanity in WWII. Japan is a different place now. I have seen it. Furthermore, the “country’s mentality” of today is not the same as the “military mentality” of WWII. Japan has no military, and guns are banned there.

So I say sink the Sea Shepard. Maybe we won’t chase them down and kill the members of the crew for their cultural choice to smoke limitless amounts of weed, keep their hair and body unclean, and punctuate every other phrase with the words “man” and “dude.” Similarly, we shouldn’t chase down the inhabitants of southern Wakayama prefecture for doing something they’ve been doing for hundreds of years.

Have you seen any video of the dolphin slaughter? The rage in the eyes of the "fishermen" is amazing. And if this was something that they are proud of why do they ban all media from videotaping the dolphin slaughter? It was only because some of the activists outsmarted the "fishermen" and got video tape of the slaughter.

This is completely different from the moonbats following Watson. Like I said I have ZERO respect for Watson and I do believe he will end up with a dead crew member because he is arrogant and wants a martyr.

Going back to mercury though I would stay away from it with a ten foot pole. You probably know where the term "mad hatter" comes from. Mercury is not something that is good for the human body it screws the brain up just as the weed screws up the hippies in Sea Shepherd.
