anti-whaling boat Ady Gil cut in half by Japanese ship
-
Considering how they are the most technologically advanced country in the world, I wonder why they don't try to invent some sort of hyper-aquatic-farm where they can cultivate fast growing whales of all kinds. That'd give them their sashimi material :)

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkThe funniest part is that most Japanese don't eat whale meat... there are warehouses full of the stuff that they can't sell, but still they continue their "scientific research program" to get more...

Maybe they're just stockpiling it in anticipation of the inevitable extinction. ;P

If they played that, there'd be no time to hunt whales!!

All of those actors were involved in piracy as defined by the U.N. so I can't say I am really to concerned about criminals getting what they deserve. ... Especially since the show is so incredibly boring.

Maybe they are just trying to preserve the DNA for future cloning and whatnot.

And rather than just use a sample from one whale, they want samples from every whale. That way, they can preserve biodiversity. Now that's environmental dedication!

So which of the two is she? If anything, the former is probably the better choice.

I've heard of profit being used to lure in unsuspecting businessmen in order to make them go green. Just because they are used together does not mean they are interested in saving the earth because of profit. That being said...

That's probably good advice.

They tell themselves they are doing good, but when they subvert truth to increase profit, they are fooling themselves.

Ah, so she is neither married nor pregnant.

Then at least they are being honest to everyone else!

The ICR countered that the Ady Gil had come "within collision distance" directly in front of the Nisshin Maru bow and repeatedly deployed a rope from its stern "to entangle the Japanese vessel's rudder and propeller" The d1ckheads should be keelhauled. I assume that they're sponsored to play games in fun boats year long by grannies and children, who give their precious pennies to protect pretty whales. The most idiotic of cretins would know that the only way to stop whaling is by diplomacy and negotiation, and that the actions of these idiots only gain the whaling industry more support -- but they don't care about that; they just want to play pirate.

... but they should really get a clue on how to drive a boat. Technically, it's the Ady Gil that hit the Japanese ship, which certainly cannot make turns rapidly because it's huge. Besides, do you Japanese guys really, absolutely need to eat whales?

Humans kill to eat. There's no getting around that unpleasant fact. The only choice we have is: Live with it or starve.

Well but there are a lot of other species you can eat and that are not in danger of extinction.

Cynical and probably correct, but regardless, is trying to prevent endangered animals from being poached to extinction (within a marine sanctuary) really such a bad cause?

Uh-huh, they've been trying diplomacy since 1986[^] - meaning that it's been around 24 years with no results; sounds like it's time to try something else.

Something else diplomatic, or negotiate with something else, yes. Playing stupid pirate games that endanger the lives and livelihoods of honest working men with families is, and never should be, an option.
