Off and on for about a year. I've been amazed at the restraint the Japanese "whalers" (research scientists, whatever) have shown.

What do you think about the Japanese whaler's response?

I think it is very restrained compared to American thinking,

wait till they get someone killed though we can hope it happens as the steve erwin goes glug glug. then folks should sue and sue all the high profile folks who pony up money to keep the pirate ship afloat

The funniest thing is what babies they all are. They complain about the whalers passing close to their bow, and talk about how they have a right to defend themselves, then they actively try to disable the whalers' ships and complain more when the whalers try to stop them from doing that.

The icing on the cake was the episode last night (I think it was a repeat) where their "prop fouler" got shredded by the whalers' prop, so they tried using it again, then the whalers pulled it out of the water before the moonbats could. Their big concern was that the whalers would use it against them. . . yeah, because in the two seasons of that show, the "prop fouler" has worked so well. Retards.

Bunch of morons. These people are even worse then idiots who follow hunters into the woods banging pots and *expletive deleted*it.

I think it's kind of funny. The crew of the Steve Irwin engages in vandalism at sea. Isn't that illegal? And dangerous? They should be held financially responsible for any damages they cause.

Let the French Navy handle this one, they fixed the Rainbow Warrior right up. Do-gooder morons.

The French Navy had little to do with the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.

She was sunk by operatives of the DGSE, with some French Naval officers having transported the explosives via yacht to NZ.

The Vega was boarded by French naval troops at one point.

I went to work for GreenPeace shortly after the bombing and found myself talking to all sorts of folks who thought and probably still think GreenPeace sunk a French naval vessel. A few even told me "they researched it" which is why I'm never surprised when the most unlikely things have a lot of believers.

So what is the law about sinking an aggressive vessel on the high seas?

Considering that more than once they've put people on a whaler, boarding without permission, that may be construed as piracy....

And it used to be that captured pirates could be hanged if the captain felt it was too much of a bother to bring them to the nearest port for trial, right?

in those waters hanging is more trouble than you need. send em swimming when they fall over by accident

detritus · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2009, 06:16:30 PM »

this is an orginization that on at least one of their ships, has a painted tally of 10 ships sunk! including two that were sunk by magnetic mines and one that was gutted with a limpet mine.

even Greenpeace calls them Eco-terrorists.

MechAg94 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 25, 2009, 07:03:06 PM »

I think there was another thread where someone mentioned that the ships they were harassing were actually whaling either when or where they weren't supposed to be.

cassandra and sara's daddy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2009, 07:10:25 PM »

the court would disagree

Bigjake · « **Reply #17 on:** July 25, 2009, 08:44:23 PM »

If I had a trust fund of my very own...

Think WW2 diesel sub, ala McHale's Navy. See if we can't fill some militant hippy tags along with the pirate hunting..

I think an Oerlikon 20mm would solve the problem nicely, myself.

Yup. They're only harrassing the illegal whalers who are harvesting in sovereign/territorial waters without permission.

We sometimes lose sight of that when creating duplicate threads here at APS.

the captain with the vest and badge. you see the episode where he pretended to be shot? bad theatre

Gewehr98 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:01:07 PM »

The same caliber for APS members, or soon-to-be former members of APS who condone shooting people for something other than legitimate, self-defense motives?

(IOW, think twice, post once. The staff will thank you, as will the owner of the forum...)
