Those arrows and bow-gun were recovered from the remnants of the crash. The arrows were not used, therefore in pristine condition.

[GonzoGOP]

OK your original post implied they had been fired at the whalers. Which given their condition was obviously false. It might have been in the article, but I don't read Japanese so all i had was your post to go from.

LOL! Still freaking out, huh?!
Take a pill spaz.
You want enlightenment? Yes, “you fool” you DO get to pick and choose which comments you post answers to.
That’s what the little “To ###” refers to under the comment.
Someone is definitely insecure and it’s not the “manly-me-caveman-give-me-a-dinasour-leg jerks.”
In fact, I find most liberals (not to mention vegetarians) more coherent and rational than you.
I’ll stick with my initial assessment: you’re certainly (make that definitely) an a$$.

[moehoward]

Not quite. Another loophole in agreement allows the whatever is left from the this “research” to consumed as food. I don’t believe it necessarily needs to be sold to meet the IWC criteria, it could be given away. Truth is the Japanese fishing lobby has had to resort to a long ad campaign to promote whale meat. The Japanese people just aren’t buying the stuff the way they used to.

Proof is in the pudding, buddy! The pudding you are attempting to use for a brain!

Only a fool continues an argument with an idiot/idiots, and be it a meatheaded idiot at that!

My good mother raised no fools, hence, I am done.

Now go pedal your irksome ignorance somewhere else.

Take the last word, I know you will anyway...perhaps some innocent animals' life may be spared momentarily while you are busy with your attacking rants on vegetarians!

[astyanax]

I have no problem with vegetarians.
Only morons.
You just happen to be both.

[EricT.]

I’m done with this conversation.

You started with personal attacks.

I’ll just let it end with another of your personal attacks.

[elkfersupper]

Tell it to the fisheries along the East Coast that have collapsed due to overfishing.

It ebbs and flows.

Extremely egotistical to think that mankind can do anything about it either way.

[elkfersupper]

Thank you once again for making my point.

[elkfersupper]

You make a good argument for abortion with your impeccable logic.

And you are a kook.

[elkfersupper]

You owe me a new keyboard (sans coffee). My stomach still hurts.

My pleasure.

[elkfersupper]

How do you say "A$$hole" in Vegetarian?

No reflection on you, I just need it for future reference.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

&And you are a kook.

Your so cool.

[Smokin' Joe]

You choose what you want to eat. Permit those of us who choose differently to have our dinner, too.

Is hardly an attack on you for your dietary choices. Bon apetit.

[Oztrich Boy]

How far from the coast of Australia were they?

Here.

The "Japanese poaching" argument depends on Australia (like France, Great Britain, New Zealand, and Norway) claiming that the Antarctic waters are part of its Exclusive Economic Zone (which part each claims depends on who first mapped what section a century ago).

However that claim is only recognised by Norway, New Zealand, Great Britain, and France.

The rest of the world believes the UN owns it.

[elkfersupper]

Your so cool.

To the literate, thinking class, that would be "You're".

[ykata]

Being a Japanese man in England, I was just so delighted to hear that those bloody leftist sheep-shaggers had their lardy arses kicked by those hard-working seamen of my old home.

> The rest of the world believes the UN owns it.

The rest of the world believes that nobody owns it.

Just a foot note (for a laugh):

A certain gentleman claimed somewhere in this thread that he has an MBA, which stands for “Master Bullshit Architect” amongst some cynical British-educated engineers with a PhD around me (myself included).

[sport]

I would hope that they did. But I think that the earth worshippers were at fault.
