Rainbow Warrior

[HDTboy]

I got a text from my little brother this morning: "I'll be up in Auckland today, working on the Rainbow Warrior." OK I thought, I'd better go see the little long-haired hippy.

Went down to the viaduct and met up with him, went aboard and took the tour (cheeky bastard even signed me up).
It turns out that greenpeace are having a big concert next weekend to comemmorate the bombing of the first Rainbow Warrior, it's $40 and being held at the St James, there's quite a few big names playing so get along there and support a good cause

[zadok]

That was quick! Inducted and brainwashed just like that! :motu:

[Hitcher]

Make sure you swot up on "Finding your inner dolphin" and remember to handwash your organic hemp underwear, or there'll be trouble...

[Jackrat]

Yeah I'd put in $40 for another bomb.
Greenpeace=environmental nazi's.

[Virago]

Yeah I'd put in $40 for another bomb.

Well said that man. Greenpeace are a bunch of thugs who use the environment to justify extremist behaviour. To me they are no different to the anti-abortionists who bomb medical centres.

Greenpeace will never get a cent from me.

[avgas]

i used to be quite a strong supporter for greenpeace.
I like the aspect that they 'sometimes' do something.
But putting up banners dont mean shit all - how about assasinating Prez's and CEO's......now that would solve problems.
I found GP were shit, cos i see their 'donation money' go to fucked up 'overheads' - like the new Mitsi AirTreks (x9) just for the auckland region. Makes them as bad as the corproations they attack. Bunch of Wankers.
Dont even get me started on CCF, WWFN etc - all wankers with 'overheads'.
Fundrasing is full of shit, when i feel like helping someone else from now on - i do it my bloody self

SHEPARDS OF THE SEA ARE COOL , SCUTLING THAT JAP WHALER TOOK BALLS, IT WAS STARTED BY THE GUY THAT STARTED GREENPEACE BUT HE LEFT CAUSE THEY WERE SOFT AND LACKED DIRECTION.
WEATHER YOU LIKE GREEN PEACE OR NOT BOMBING THE RAINBOW WARRIOR IN OUR HARBOUR WAS A CRIME AGAINST ALL NEW ZEALANDERS , IF OSAMA HAS TO BLOW ANYTHING UP I HOPE ITS SOMETHING IN FRANCE CAUSE FUCKIT WE STILL OWE THEM ONE

[HDTboy]

All osama needs to do is appear in France, Team America will do the rest

Bullshit!! The media keep refering to it as a terrorist act.They need to look up the definition of terrorism.
I laughed when I heard that Americans stopped contributing to Grinpiss when they heard how they sank that french ship in that harbour in Noo Zealand :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

GrinPiss= one of the most successful multinational corporations.They make huge profits by gathering donations from hippie suckers and most of thieir workers work for free.
Remember... they are one of the greatest threats to our motorcycling lifestyle.They'll have you on a pushbike in a flash :oi-grr:

T'was no crime against me.
Grinpiss were lucky that it was done in our harbour, they could have timed the bomb to detonate at sea.

BTW why do you want Osama do to our dirty work?
Spoil our 'holier than thou' image?

[pyrocam]

is the rainbow warrior in the viaduct still? I cant see it. I work on the waterfront down fanshawe way.
anyone know who the jolly rodger is muhahaha

[Biff]

Nice to see that the gross generalisation and over-exaggeration brigade are out in force.

Since when have Greenpeace been anti motorbikes? Maybe I missed it in this years annual report, maybe it's that swastika or my 'hippy' hair getting in the way again. Or maybe I’m too stoned to read? :weird:

Greenpeace has been campaigning for greater rights for bikers, better road design to consider biker safety, lower taxes for bike users (in collaboration with Transport 2000) etc in Europe for over a decade. !!??

[MikeL]

These anti-Greenpeace tirades are surprising. You might not think that their methods are always the most appropriate, but I find it hard to dismiss their aims. When all the world's seas are barren, the land turned to desert and the air poisoned, you might like to ponder the question whether, in the end, these long-haired hippy layabout eco-terrorists might perhaps have been onto something...

[HDTboy]

Remember... they are one of the greatest threats to our motorcycling lifestyle.They'll have you on a pushbike in a flash :oi-grr:
You'd think if they wanted to get everyone on pushbikes they'd start with car drivers first, and I don't see that happening in a hurry

Pyro: I'm not sure if it's still there, it was on the bridge side of princes wharf

I saw in the paper today that there's a doco on 1 tonight telling the french side of the story

[Skyryder]

Has there ever been an official apology from the French Government over the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior? As far as I'm aware there has not.

At the time of the trial there were rumours that American inteligence were aware of a bombing attempt of the Rainbow Warrior but because of the Labour Government's position on nuclear energy this information was never passed on.

When the two French opertives of SAS were being held there was a real fear that the French Government would, for want of a better word, 'spring em.' I understand that there was a military prescence at Paparoa.

Any confirmation on this?

Never have forgiven the French for what they did here. And yes it was a terrorist act in every sense of the word. Someone died as a result of the bombing and in my mind this sent a clear signal to those that opposed French testing in the Pacific; get in our way and you may die. That is the message that all terrorists proclaim.

An apology admits guilt, and as the French govt claimed that the operatives were working on an 'unofficial' excercise I guess it'll be a very long time, if ever, we'll hear the wine guzzling surrender monkeys apologise.

[Timber020]

Greenpeace arent perfect but at least they try to get the attention of average joes with regards to issues which would otherwise be widely ignored. They have got big without having the expertise to manage it properly. The world is a far better place with them than without them.

[WINJA]

IM JUST WATCHING THIS RAINBOW WARIOR THING NOW , FUCK THOSE FRENCH ARE FUCKEN ANIMALS I HOPE SOME BAD SHIT HAPPENS TO THEIR SHIT COUNTRY , ID LOVE TO SEE PARIS DESTROYED , THOSE POOR VILLAGERS ISLAND IS DESTROYED

You forgot to mention cheese.
I support greenpeace with my spare change.
Funny, I didn't realise there were so many rednecks in here.

[Jamezo]

it was quite hilarious, the only French guys we didn't let get away got sent to 'prison' at the delightful locale of French Noumea. and served 1/3 or so of their sentence before being shipped back to France, where they rejoined the French intelligence service...

[Jackrat]

Red neck,who me ??
Probably by some peoples standards.
Green peace is against a lot of things I do both for fun and as a living,I don't just drive a truck.So if stating the obvious makes me a redneck so be it.
Besides that,when the shit the poms dumped in the north sea thirty years ago begins to leak,we're all going to find out what a waste of time it all was.
Might as well enjoy what we have now an not worry about what yet another group of greenies are dreaming about, because it ain't gonn'a happen,the clock is already ticking.

[MikeL]

it ain't gonn'a happen

And do we give a shit? No way.
Call us selfish old gits - but it's our world, and we'll ruin it if we want to...

Strictly hetro, but in this - I swing both ways. I'd like to see the environment protected yet I like NASCAR and loud exhausts.

I'm also a grandfather and would like the little tackers get to see the Great barrier reef etc one day.

I like what greenpeace has done with whaling and particularly conservation in Tasmania.

It sounds like a different experience to the NZ one.

[Lou Girardin]

The French did spring 'em, they just threatened Langes Govt with a trade war and they folded.
It's a tough, cruel world out there. It seems that we haven't learnt that yet. We even think there's such a thing as free trade.
And if we condemn the French for what they did to Mururoa, we'll have to do the same to the US and UK. We even went to those tests to let them irradiate our servicemen.
That's the problem with hypocrisy, it leaves a stench that lasts forever.

[Lias]

I'm not opposed to some of the ideals of greenpeace, but christ I hate the unwashed hippie degenerates that seems to make up their membership.
I dont think I've met a single "greenie" whos not a dope smoking brainwashed leftie whos rebellling aganist mummy and daddy and in general is a complete and utter waste of oxygen.
They are also anti nuclear which looses alot of points with me. I'm a firm believer that NZ should have nuclear power generation. Greenpeace would have us all only using solar and wind power, and paying $5/kwh on our powerbills.

[Big Dave]

Hi, my name is David and I run a small but successful design and advertising agency.
I'm self employed, have raised a family, have grandchildren and have never received social security.
I'm quite well educated and my peers say intelligent - I've also voted green and supported environmental issues for the last 20 years. I suppose the ponytail gets me a pidgeon hole? But I'm a greenie. It's part of the reason I ride motorcycles and don't own a car.

Nuclear is wrong. Five mile, cherynobyl, and just the potential for an enormous disaster - plus the global shit fight over waste - Wait for fission.

Hi - my names Biff, I've an MBA, a Masters in Microelectronic engineering and some other qualification that chicks assume makes me qualified to view their ‘bits’, although its in a totally different subject matter to the one that they automatically assume I’m qualified in. I have short hair, shower at least once a day and pay my membership, on time, to GP every year. I also have a day job, several in fact, and earn above the national average. I don't smoke pot and I'm not a leftie, although I did once tell my mother I wouldn't wash up after dinner. I even trod on a frog once just to see what would happen. I’m such a rebel.

You've probably met dozens if not hundreds of 'greenies' in your life. In fact, and I don’t mean to alarm you, but there may even be one within walking distance of you right now. But you tend to ignore them because they’re far too normal to fit your sterotype.

[Big Dave]

'Sampler' for Robbie Williams?

[Lias]

Ok, ok so I stereotyped, sue me :yes:

Supporting enviromental issues isnt inherently bad, but I'm sure you know the sort of stereotypical greenie I'm talking about, who DO give green issues and environmental issues bad press.

Would that motorcycle be a modified Triumph that probably emits more pollutants than your average 2 litre family mobile? :whistle:
No offence Dave, but it's the stones and glasshouses thing.
I always have a chuckle at the beat-up smokey piece-of-crap cars with Greenpeace stickers on them.
And if Greenpeace ever did get the reins of power, get used to composting your shit and probably drinking your own urine. Which, for Aucklanders, will be a change from drinking Hamiltonians.

[Lias]

Oh and dave I've seen you in person (I didnt know you were you at the time or i'd have wandered on over to say hello) and there is no way in hell you fit in my stereotype :yes:

[Paul in NZ]

Mind you...

I'd support greenpeace over the NZ fishing industry nearly any day....

That 'son of talley' wot was on da box a while back looked a dead nasty type... Bottom trawling is good... ha! Who for? Not me matey!

[Wolf]

There is one within extremely short walking distance of him. In fact, I could throw a stapler at him with little effort - if I weren't such a peacenik hippy waste of oxygen, that is...

And I don't smoke pot either and I bathe twice a year whether I need to or not. Short hair (used to be long) but I admit the beard is a bit unruly and I refuse to trim the hairs on my back.

Well - perhaps - none taken btw - rational conversation and all.
But at least my tyres take up less space when spent, etc and there's no way I spit out more smoke than jnr and his mates hot jap cars and vans or a S model commodore.
I don't clog the byways and stop the flow of other traffic by sheer volume either. Or cause parking congestion.

OK, I do make a racket too, but that's hardly impacting the freeway environment.

I worked on a trawler as a engineer for a while have seen the damage
bottom trawling does,have seen a 70 ton bag of roughy slowly rott in the
sun (the fish factory could only process 10 ton a watch 7hrs)
they were still processing when the fish was falling Apart, then
they just pushed the remainder over the back.
was cool watching great white sharks taking seals that follow
boat around though

with the boat going up and down...I can only imagine the smell....mate, you must have an iron constiution.
I went on a few commercial fishing runs in Tassie and had touble keeping it all down.
The boys down there weren't adverse to loosing a few .22 rounds at the following seals either.
(yeah - i know they are protected, but when you're on a smallish shark cat with nothing else in it but a steering wheel and fishing gear - a 1/2 a mile off the wild cliff walled Port Arthur coast - and the good ol' boy of a capt'n pulls out a .22 and starts lettin' rip - 'hey mate - that's not right! - didn't quite seem.....prudent.)

[Jackrat]

And do we give a shit? No way.
Call us selfish old gits - but it's our world, and we'll ruin it if we want to...

It was ruined a long time before any of us today had a chance to have a say in it.
When the Poms decided it was a good idea to dump their radio active waste into the north sea during the 50-60s any say we did have was taken from us.
All the conservation in the world won't change what's already done,an whats been done can't be undone by any amount of protesting by greenpeace or anybody else.
including old gits like you, that don't give a shit. :spudwave:
