Personally I hope every single one of these assholes are either caught and imprisoned or shot... The fact that they are given their own TV show is ridiculous to me. Oh, and LOL at the whole "prisoner of war" thing they're trying to play up. The idiot illegally boarded a foreign vessel from a jet ski under the cover of darkness in international waters. What did he think would happen? These people knew exactly what they were doing from the start. | ||

They should feel so lucky that they aren't fired upon with real guns for some of the crap they pull. If you want to stop something, do it through legal avenues. Just because you may not be satisfied with those legal methods doesn't give you the right to take the law into your own hands. If everyone did that, our society would descend into a state of anarchy... Personally I hope every single one of these assholes are either caught and imprisoned or shot...

That argument is quite the slippery slope. If humans are equal to any other animal, where do you stop? Are humans equal to dogs? rats? insects? trees? Is hunting ethical? Are they only equal to other mammals? In that case, why should genetic code determine the morals that you act with? The whalers may be acting illegally, but vigilante justice is never the answer. They need to be brought down through legal avenues. | ||

As for education, I have read building schools out of stone by Greg Morteson, the bureaucratic offices bungle up giving building permits of schools so much in Kabul (in Afghanistan), that it can take months for a document to be stamped and signed. (excuses of office closed, person with key for cabinet containing file left). Out of impatience, they just built the schools while the red tape was going on. Also, a little screaming on the last day of the deadline for the permit helped tons. Voila, education for the children. | ||

People acting like idiots and assholes over animal rights only makes people less likely to feel sympathetic to the cause. They're only making things more difficult for themselves. | ||

It's like a douchebag circle of life. Funnily enough the japanese media turned the table on us and criticised us for culling Kangaroos in Canberra, when the two are completely unrelated, they're using scientific research as a cover to simply propping up an old fashioned industry. | ||

The whalers may be acting illegally, but vigilante justice is never the answer. They need to be brought down through legal avenues. All I meant by that phrase is I disagree with "putting human lives in danger to save a bunch of animals with their antics." It doesn't mean you can't eat animals because that would be fucking stupid, we have evolved to eat animals. Hunting is ethical as long as it is quick and as painless as possible. Whaling is not. That's besides the point, what they are doing is illegal, and as well as this unsustainable. They need to be brought down through legal avenues. Do you know how many times Kevin Rudd (prime minister of Australia) has insisted to take legal action against Japan on whaling? It was one of his promises that got him voted into government. Yet he has still done nothing... but can you really expect legal action against our greatest export market? | ||
