Whale Wars

[RidgeRunner]

Why can't the International Laws against harvesting Whales be enforced on the Japanese anyway? I know they are calling it research but they are doing it in a most invasive manner. I don't think the world is buying "Research" when they are sending out a harpoon ship to get their samples.

I don't agree with whaling, but that captain (if he in fact really is one) is a tool and is going to get someone killed.

Maybe it tastes like chicken.

Anyway, if all the whales are killed, then the starship Entrprise will have to
come backin time to kidnap a male and female whale to save the Earth from
being swallowed by a giant space tube.

i understand its similar to condor.

but seriously, we (man) have absolutely destroyed this planet and have directly caused the extinction of 99% of the species that ever lived.

i'll say that again. we have directly caused the extinction of 99% of the species that ever lived.

so what's another species give or take. this planet will collapse in on itself sooner or later. the only hope this planet has for survival is for man to become extinct. sad but true.

True. But it seems all that is involved in getting your own reality TV show is to get the attention of one network producer by doing something rediculous. Like crashing a White House party or creating a hoax where your son disappears and may have been carried away on a weather balloon.
That guy probably got his show by fellating a Sperm Whale or something.

I've had that same question while watching that show....Is there just no policing body that's out there to enforce it or what? I'll have to do a little research and try to find the actual text in whatever legislation it is that allows "research". Problem with researching emotional stuff like that is that most resources online are by people with an agenda and its hard to distinguish fact from opinion....
