Just watched that Whale Wars on Animal Planet. Yeah Yeah don't kill whales, killing whales is bad etc.

I find the show ridiculously stupid.

It's all for GreenPeace Media attention. Captain is a fat idiot and Coward.

Plus it sounds like a great idea to attack and disable a ship in INTERNATIONAL WATERS, and then board it.

Freaking stupid people.

    Next week is the one where the "Bat Boat" gets run over by the Japanese whaling ship. The preview already shows the eco-terrorists claiming it was intentional. These are the same fools that launched a small boat and intercepted a whaling ship, then jumped on board the whaling ship (act of piracy). These eco-terrorists claimed the Jap sailors held these "pirates" hostage. If I was one of those Jap sailors, I would have beaten those idiots senseless.

    They replaced the wrecked Ady Gill with another tri-hull. Like to see this eco-terrorist ship crunched also. I'm against whaling, but these wack-jobs are going about it the wrong way.

    great. another whaling season with the eco terrorists. i cant wait for the nips to just ram the steve irwin broadside and sink it, killing "capt" watson and his crazy pirate crew.

    on the other hand, as a professional mariner, the show does provide me with hours of entertainment howling with laughter at their incompetence....

    Maybe they will stray too close to North Korean waters and they will take care of them...[^]

    Or better yet, get hijacked by pirates.

    Whats worse I'm not a pro mariner, the only experience I have with it is being on a charter boat as a guest. That said, I also laugh at their incompetence, its only a matter of time before they visit Davy Jones Locker.[}:)]

    The Japs are a bunch of lying scuzbuckets. Not that I've much sympathy for the "Sea Shepherds" either, but them Japs are bald faced liars about what they are doing and why they are doing it. Wouldn't mind them hitting a few ice bergs.

    I don't care for pirate tactics, but them lying Japs tick me off something awful ...

    Spent eight months in Antarctic waters myself. Didn't get to see much in the way of whales though, was too busy working for a living to play tourist.

    There are so many things that eat at me about that show. I've got teenagers and to have to explain to them why the enviro-terrorists are wrong is quite interesting. I do not agree with whaling, dog-fights or cock-fights. There are countries where all these things are totally legal. The only difference is that in America, those things are all ILLEGAL, therefore we do not do them. Take REAL bull-fighting for example. The libs would have a field day if that activity was caught being done here. But in Spain, this an activity which is done frequently.

    I guess I got off the subject for a moment but the point I am trying to make is that just because whaling is not done in the USA, does not make it wrong. It only makes it wrong in our eyes, much like dog-fights, cock-fights and bull-fights. Another analogy is the foods we eat or don't eat. One would have to search far and wide to find a variety of bugs for sale at a local market in the USA, whereas in the orient, they are quire prevalent.

    The so-called captain and his merry crew on the Steve Erwin are so out of line, that they can't even see straight. Put those same people in their our homeland and see how they like a foreigner telling them how to govern themselves. Let's see how they like it.
