I don't agree with how the sea shepard lot work but at least they doing something. For them it is war. I do admire them for getting off the couchs and working at making a difference. They obvisiously feel very passionately aobut what they are doing if they are willing to lay down their lives.
One must also remember what dirty little fighters the Japanese can be.

So many species have been mad extinct due to man's greed, I'd really hate to see whales disappear forever.

I can recall jap fishing boats tying up at Miramar Wharf in the early seventies so they've been hanging around our waters for a damn sight longer than 20 years.

You can call me a leather clad tinker bell just don't call me a tree hugger.

Just curious; what makes you so anti-jap?

was just thinking the same thing. I only quoted 20 years as that was about the time my ex started in the fishing game and way back then the japs were smelly little vermin raping the sea. Now Sir Peasea informs me it's longer than that. Bloody tragic....shame we have had such a crap government for so long that they can still come here. no wonder the price of fish is sooooo expensive.

I'm not ashamed of my age, I think it's funny. I can still act like an 18y/o at times though.

Yeah, that settles it. Still think they had what was coming though. It wasn't the Japanese that started that particular war.

There's a big difference between being pro-whaling and then condoning what Sea Shepherd are doing. Hey, don't get me wrong I am all in favour of civil disobedience given a worthy case. And I might just even be willing to consider protesting whaling a worthy cause. (If nothing else because of the blatant bullshit that is going on in that regard - you know the "scientific research" versus commercial whaling bullshit. I'd have more respect for the Japanese whalers if they had just told the establishment to go fuck themselves, we'll keep on whalin'!)

However, there's a huge difference between civil disobedience and then going off to the antarctic sea to play righteous hippie pirates! It's not exactly a playground or the town square.

The Japanese didn't do anything in this case that Sea Shepherd hasn't been doing themselves in the past. Sea Shepherd just brought the wrong boat for the fight. Karma is a bitch!

Looked like a maritime version of the old sword over the back of the neck.

Sushi anyone?

It all depends on where you shoot the video.

Compare that video to this one.

That video also shows the whaling vessel in the wrong. Check out the Sea Shepherd vessel at the start of the video and it clearly shows that it has the right of way and is travelling slowly (compare it to the vessel in the back ground). The whaling ship turns into it and the Sea Shepherd Vessel increases power (the increase in the wake). Power is needed for a tight turn, but its too late and the collission occurs. Again it looks like the water cannon obscured the Sea Shepherd's view of the whaling ship turning towards it.

Whatever the rights or wrongs of whaling this encounter did exactly what the Sea Shepherd organisation wanted. ie they have video evidence of the Japanese intentionally damaging their vessel. That could only happen if the skipper of the Sea Sheppherd vessel put his vessel in danger to begin with.

The Japanese have been plundering our fisheries for years. They would still be doing this if they thought they could get away with it. Most of the world's government have condemned the Japanese whaling practices, but on here they are the good guys. Imagine the furor if some cage deliberately drove into a group of bikers while on an ACC protest ride on the basis that the driver did not agree with our stand.

Some of you guys need to differentiate between the act of deliberately ramming a NZ registered ship, and the politics of whaling. It’s pretty clear to me after watching the vid who is in the wrong. That interpretation aside you do not deliberatly hose down the crew on a boat that you have accidently rammed.

Like I said, the same act against us by a cage driver who disagrees with our ACC stance……………….and this would be acceptable?? I don’t think so.

The average Jap may be a friendly enough sort of bloke.....,
But their complete disrespect for anything on this planet that is not Japanese is appalling......
Their whole fishing attitude is one off rape and pillage
The old guard is extremely racist, arrogant and have an enormous superiority complex
(still today plenty of places in Japan "for Japanese only")
they also control the sort of news the Japanese public has access to, and therefor it is impossible for anybody else to sway "public opinion" there.......

The Japanese have got no business in the Antarctic waters whaling........
Sea shepperd en consorts are making it harder for them......Good on them!!!!!!
F**k the Arrogant little c**ts.............

Talk to any kiwi fishermen that had the "pleasure" of working on Japanese joint venture ships in NZ waters about attitudes...........

Enola wasn't all that gay.......

Bloody hell Skyryder, next you'll be suggesting you shouldn't bash somebody while they're lying on the ground.

Anyway back on topic.
