Whaler ship cuts USS PETA Batboat in two

[BiPoLaR]

Looked to me like the batboat was idling and the whale boat turned in and rammed it.

look closer at the engine pumping water and the wake behind the batboat


i still want to cook a steak on the steps of PETA HQ. That is one of my dreams

So you support murdering terrorists?

Yessir. Not only that I think we ought to put it on pay-per-view, and make sure the terrorist is defiled in the most cruel manner so as to serve as a warning to others.

Something about a bacon-wrapped 0.50 cal round and burial inside a pig carcass that just makes me believe the percieved "rewards" would no longer outweigh the sacrifice.

That being said, I don't think these "eco-terrorists" are on the same level and should really be considered "terrorists, they're mostly just morons and criminals. Perhaps a long stay in prison, hard labor, no parole. Unless they directly cause physical harm or loss of life, then the deserve whatever they are dealt.

I'm against all forms of protest, I just don't know how to express it.

Pretty much.  What I replied first is an old Mitch Hedburg joke.  I don't condone what the Whaler's are doing, but the protesters, well...

From Wikipedia:

"One of the twelve people on board, photographer Fernando Pereira, returned to the ship after the first explosion to attempt to retrieve his equipment, and was killed when the ship was sunk by the second larger explosion."

Returning to - and going below decks on - a holed ship taking on water is as pants-on-head retarded as running back into a burning building to save your pet parakeet, and I have no sympathy for somebody who got themselves killed through such stupidity.

I did my research before I posted, I suggest you do the same in the future.

So you think 911 was a good effort then and all those NYFD firefighters deserved to die.

I'm not, I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is to support a clear act of terrorism sponsored by a government that cost someone their life.

Well, they try to throw nets into the props of the whalers to immobilize them. If you get immobilized in heavy swells, you may just be in some serious danger in a hurry. That right there should allow the japanese ships to light them up with automatic weapons.

He's probably like me and uses synthetic insulin.


ack-ack

but where did the synthetic originate?

Read my post about the whaler "turning right": http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,281370.msg3549459.html#msg3549459
The right turn is an illusion caused by the perspective changing due to diagonally moving platform. The other video is from a ship Bob Barker, which is also owned by Sea Shepherd. I suspect it was staged to look like the whaler intentionally rammed the other ship.

Yeah I read your post.  You identify the batboat guys as 'terrorists' like 9 times.  Completely objective it is not.

If you look at the second video, shot from the third ship filming the collision, you can see the whaling boat makes are hard turn to starboard then rams.  You can even see the bow spray from the whaler along the port side, indicating a sharp turn to starboard.  Your explaination for this is that the film was 'staged'.

Whether or not the hard turn with intent to collide by the whaler is appropriate or not is another debate. 

Clearly though, ramming a smaller ship on purpose is using deadly force.

[Ack-Ack]

but where did the synthetic originate?

Not from animals, that is why I use synthetic insulin.  It's created using recombinant DNA techniques and not derived at all from animals, in fact most insulin used by diabetics today is 'synthetic insulin' as it is much more of a closer match to 'human insulin' than animal based insulin.  The synthetic insulin I use, Humulin, is derived from the E coli bacteria.

Using synthetic insulin also solves the problems that some diabetics like me have that have allergic reactions to animal based insulin.

ack-ack

LOL ... too funny ... If one cannot tell that the Japanese ship deliberately turned into the Ady Gil after looking at both film viewpoints ... you should go see an eye doctor.

The Ady Gil did appear to move into the Japanese boat ... ONLY when it realized that it was going to be rammed and tried to gun it to possibly get out of the way.

Those Japanese researchers (yeah right ... I got a bridge for sale too) are destroying one of the most valuable resources on the planet and yes they are breaking laws doing it ... they are researching (hunting) in an internationally defined conservation zone ... but it is only the Sea Shepards that give a rats arse.

I watched the whole Whale Wars series last year and came out with the conclusion that the members on those ships are comical and incompetent at best when trying to accomplish their task.

Terrorist ... OMFGz ... they are far from terrorist ... they only people that got hurt during the Whale Wars series was Sea Shepard members and it was by their own hand ... allowing that Japanese ship to even get that close to ram them is just another example of what a Fluster Cluck these guys are ... Never the less, throwing stink bombs and trying to foul the props of the whale killers hardly scratches the surface of the definition of terrorist.

I don't find it incredible that some don't agree with what the Sea Shepards are trying to do, but rather find it incredible that most that have posted seem to condone what the Japanese are doing to the Whale population.
