Why dont you guys go back and read everyone of Dentins posts. OK? Now there are two points that really stand out and one begs to be answered right?
The first is why are you guys trying to have an elevated conversation about whaling with him?
The second point, as it relates to the first, is why I left the thread.
Think about it? Think about everyone you've known thats been named "Dentin"? To be named "Dentin" you have to be a permanenet 14yo, with a faceful of zits, and mommy is always screaming for you to take out the trash.
Sorry Rich, I guess I gave him too much credit. I though he wanted to converse intelligently. Oh well.
I am quit suprise to see how many of you rutting for the japs. Although, them fruit cakes on the sea sheport are morons. I wouldn't past them if they have a room full of marijuana and sex orgies once a week.
I don't think anyone is standing up for the whalers. Moray made some great points, and vigilanties aren't the way to stop the problem. When taking sides in this case it's limited to choosing between the better of two evils, and generally, attacking people is considered worse than attacking animals.
Drawing more attention to the illegal whaling activities in order to stop them is admirable, but there are better ways than the Sea Shepherd's crew are using. It's interesting that National Geographic has decided to give these guys fame. These types of extreme tactics have been used by anti's for a long time, attempting to support a lot of "causes". Abortion, hunting, trapping, fishing, wearing of fur, you name it. Generally though, we see these people as extremists on the news, not as TV stars. This show is giving other nut-cases ideas.
I wonder if someone could get a show on TV if they formed a band of vigilanties and went through the streets fighting crime. Anyone wanna go rid the seas of pirates? I bet we could get on TV if we did that! Anyone have a boat? Maybe something less-lofty as a starting point? We could maybe rid the highways of SUV's using some night raids?
