lol i thought this thread was about fat chicks xD
The anti-whaling group should hire them pirates from Somalia
You're clearly easily upset over "long ass signatures" (who's???) ... yet not by the slaughter of endangered whales???Im not sure whats more annoying, long ass signatures
Assaulted how??? It's interesting you avoided mentioning a single detail. Was it in any way worse than deliberatly veering into the course of a ship - potentially causing fatal injury to humans??? Driving your vessel into a tiny yacht is assault.First, these "anti whaling hippies" assaulted the whaling ship.
Heh yeah I'm sure this little boat also had a pirate boarding party ready with cutlass swords and eyepatches too. This is Antarctica not Somalia.They wanted to disable the large boat and leave them STRANDED at sea.
They're in Australian waters and it would be seen as a hostile act. (It all goes downhill from there, if you had've thought ahead).They are lucky they were not met with automatic gunfire.
Im not sure whats more annoying, long ass signatures I have to scroll through, or miss informed people here...
First, these "anti whaling hippies" assaulted the whaling ship. They are lucky they were not met with automatic gunfire.
Second, the captain of the small "stealth" ship, deliberatly plowed his boat towards the larger vessel, to create the collision. They were warned SEVERAL times to back off, and they didnt. They wanted to disable the large boat and leave them STRANDED at sea.
As far as I see it, one ship down, a couple more to go!

"The Institute of Cetacean Research, which has previously fronted for the whalers, claimed the Ady Gil's crew were launching projectiles at a ship in the fleet, the Nisshin Maru, and attempted to entangle its propellers with rope.
"The research-base vessel Nisshin Maru, currently engaged in the Japanese whale research programme in the Antarctic ... was subject to attack today for about two hours by the New Zealand-registered watercraft Ady Gil," the institute said.
"In a manner similar to their 23 December attack on the Shonan Maru No. 2, at about (7am NZDT) the Ady Gil came to collision distance directly in front of the Nisshin Maru bow repeatedly deploying and towing a rope from its stern with the intent to entangle the Japanese vessel's rudder and propeller.""
^^^ sounds like an attack.
One would think it may be a stupid idea to attack a vessel much larger and stronger than your own. They got what was coming to them. This was a publicity stunt to get some "oh noooes poor lil boat" feeling going for them. They wanted to play with fire and got burnt. They should have kept their toys away from where men were working and not gotten run over.
I agree that higher order mammals should not be hunted, or eaten...
And (IMHO) the Japanese are a very, very nasty race when they want to be.
Check out "the rape of Nanking", and other atrocities committed on WW2 POWs (forced labour to death, the death march, vivisection, etc...)
They may be smart, and industrious, and small - but so are those ants that eat everything in their path. Not to be trusted, or fucked with...
time to gang up on the Japanese ?
we can bring up the past about anyone
Like I said in my post following his comment, this is only about Japanese WHALING. Nothing more nothing less nothing else
Japan didn't like Australia much either during WW2 lol, they even sent miniature submarines into Sydney Harbour, but WW2 has nothing to do with this, and Japan is now a close ally of both the USA and Australia - and it should be.
But whaling ... it just doesn't make any sense to me, it seems to go against the honor of their culture that they hold so dearly.
heres a better video....

at the 1:30 mark, the jap ship clearly turns into the stealth ship, now what?
Please read back through the thread. I did not bring up WW2, and have simply explained that while it'd be easy for me to go down that path too I won't as this thread isn't about that.but you still bring up WWII ...
its Japanese not Jap , dont be so derogatory
