The whalers should have filled them full of lead to make sure the sharks didn't starve!

YO FREEPERS!

THIS IS NOT AL GORE'S PARTY.

The Japanese are a bunch of international BS artists; preying on depleted whale pops. (And please lay off the oh, silly golux, don't you know that the yellow-bellied hunch-fin minke is NOT depleted in the southwesternmost part of the Sea of Marmara? What are you some kind or enviro-wacko? crap.)

Americans owe a lot to whalers, whaling, and whales. We don't owe jack to the Japs.

I and plenty of sensible right wingers (such as almost all of my friends) applaud the Shepherds - they do one thing and focus on it like a laser.

Yeah you tell a North Atlantic US or Maritime provinces fisherman we should protect the 'right' of Japanese, Russian, and Chinese to utterly, usually illegally, deplete stocks, often right off our shore.

We need MORE Sea Shepherds, and Letters of Marque for goodness sakes.

Remember to spay and neuter your ships...

Oh....
I always thought he was saying neuter all your spays(sic).

Was Russell Dalrymple (XNBC Pres) on a small craft bemoaning the fact he was doing Elaine’s will?

I remember when a Japanese fishing/school boat hooked the USS Greeneville (SSN-772)...
Talk about the dog catching the car....

Believe the Greeneville was ‘showing off’ for a bunch of honchos.....WHATEVER the ‘cover story’ was WE payed dearly for it......

Having witnessed more unreps(underway replenishments) than I could count, the last place you would want to be is where the Bob Barker was.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
How about the ‘unpopular’ person being highlined while the ship is involved in a refueling/replenishing Exercise?
Takes a ‘brave man’ to be secured(or not) in the Bosuns Chair - especially if he knows a couple of people don’t ‘like’ him....

Right. Because stewardship and defense of our natural resources is ALWAYS wrong, no matter who does it, right? because the Earth can adjust to ANYTHING and regulation is ALWAYS wrong, right? Because it doesn't matter if the Japs kill off the last whales, right?

Yeah, KRAFT foods will get us our protein. We don't need no stinkin' stewardship. Have a slice of well-marketed processed soy and corn syrup product and all hail unrestricted everything! Surely our global-government-global-corporate overlords are looking out for our best interests. Trouble on the high seas? Some troublemakers giving the Japs a headache? Sink 'em! Here's to the Japanese! Here's to Freedom!

Always amuses me how the most tunnel-visioned, closed-minded, run-with-the-pack people on Free Republic accuse others, violently and incessantly, of being sheep, traitors to the cause, "anti-freedom," etc.

Is it a natural resource if you cannot use it?

If the japanese are fishing our waters we need to sink them. No questions asked, no excuses required.

If the sea shepards are interfering with other ships at sea (it’s called piracy) the Japanese need to sink them.

As for the whales, How does their presence or absence affect us?

So how long did you stay with the Sea Hippies? Was the Pachouli Oil plentiful?

The Bob Barker caught in a sandwich?

I can't think of a joke that I could post in a family friendly forum.

It's our choice, FRiends, and the choice of our free brothers and sisters to defend those creatures whom we wish to defend, even if it doesn't make sense to all of us at the time. Sometimes, we turn out to be just a little grateful for the actions of "environmentalists."

In the case of whales, which are truly amazing creatures capable of all sorts of astonishing things our scientists are just barely beginning to understand, (and as the son of a USN underwater microwave systems pioneer) my money and respect are NOT on Jap pirate meatmongers, but on our ancient, mysterious, communicative friends. And their friends.
