Recently I watched a show on the Discovery channel – called “Whale Wars”. The show documents the fight of the Sea Sheppard’s aboard the S.S. Steve Irwin (Glorious) against the Chinese Whale Hunters. The Sea Sheppard’s will stop at nothing to stop the senseless killing of the whales. Some of the heroic actions include ramming the S.S. Steve Irwin into the side of the Chinese vessels, throwing chemicals onto the deck, helicopter fly-bys, etc… As I watched the show that depicted the Sea Sheppard’s as heroes for fighting against the whale murdering Chinese – I wondered why the individuals that fight against the senseless murdering of thousands of unborn babies are viewed so differently.
I’ve had many of the same thoughts.
Could it be that the liberal views of each issue are different? Animal activist types tend to be liberal. They are against the killing of wildlife. They don’t see an unborn baby as a human being. So since they are good liberals, they are in favor of abortion on demand, and in favor fo actions to stop hunting.
Why aren’t those Sea Sheppards considered pirates and terrorists? I would think that Maritime Law would be pretty clear about that.
First, the whalers are Japanese, not Chinese.
Secondly, I root for the Japanese Whalers against those smoke dopers ever time I surf through that channel.
Lastly, that whale of a captain had better not swim around Japanese Whaling ships!
Its Japanese whale scientists not hunters, it is on Animal Planet, not Discovery, and the folks of Sea Shepherd are nothing more than glorified criminals (pirates).
I love whales don’t get me wrong, but these people are goofy,
I watched the captain get them stuck in a ice jam after sending light weight cew members out in a dingy to risk their lives,
they are a danger to themselves and others.
“Some of the heroic actions include ramming the S.S. Steve Irwin into the side of the Chinese vessels”
Heroic?!?
What those attention seeking turds do is not heroic. It is against all laws of the sea. As a man who spent the first half of his life at sea I find the characterization of their actions as heroic a disgusting travesty. They endanger the lives of the JAPANESE crewmen and their own crew. That “captain” should be keel-hauled then strung from the nearest yardarm. ASAP.
Heroic...pttooooeeyyy!
Yes, they are really strange,
Be a hero, save a whale! Save a baby, go to jail.
Uh, it’s actually pretty obvious.
One group doesn’t get in the way of people having sex, the other does.
Abortion is not about abortion, it never was, it’s about sex.
I agree...wonder if any WWII Japanese miniature subs are available? :-)
Nah, it’s about murdering innocent people.
I caught 10 min. or so of Whale Wars the other night. Entire crew of the vessel appeared to be a bunch of weak, whiner putz libs who think sacrifice means going a week without a Starbucks cappuccino.
Of course, the exact opposite of the crews of Dangerous Catch crab boats.
People don’t support abortion because they want to kill babies, they support it because it means they can have sex without consequences. They want it bad enough that they are willing to kill their own babies for it.
The whalers should sink their boats and leave them for shark food!
These are the same scum that sport bumper stickers with:
Save a whale, harpoon a fat chick.
You need a new screen name!
When Roe v Wade happened, before it happened, terminating a pregnancy to protect the life of the mother was legal in all the states of this nation. What the issue of Roe was fabricated to accomplish was the empowerment of feminists, giving them a 'privacy sovereingty to kill' that is not found in our Constitution and not even hinted at, thus the subpreme court of 1973 had to fabricate a 'penumbra' and attach it to the earlier Griswald (contraception case, mischaracterized as a 'birth control case') ruling which itself was likely beyond the bounds of the federal oligarchy to dictate.
That you cannot/will not admit that Roe v Wade was about empowering a noisy constitutency of the democrap party seems quite telling.
