Reads like the caption for a news photo which got captured in a cut & paste, minus the pic.

Maybe someone can post it here. I don't know how to get that to happen.

Of course I know they continue to engage in whaling......

Not sure if what you say is true....

That said....I commented on your comment.

I believe that was inappropriate....You can believe what you want...........

Also uncertain as to what the whale was trying to say...

He was probably trying to say that Oprah would make a great President and she would have the whale vote.

“I believe that was inappropriate...”

Anyone from your family die on a Japanese prison ship? I thought not.

My wife’s uncle did. ‘Nuff said.

I was reading the article wanting to know what the whale did and how she reacted. That one misplaced sentence really stuck out like a sore thumb.

...a large tiger shark, which Hauser measured at 15 feet, was in the waters nearby watching the human. Doug Jones' gay son gives VP Mike Pence the side eye

What's worse? A tiger shark giving you the side eye, or Doug Jones' gay son?

Look at me, I’m friggin history and the Internet is some kind of forever!

Well I don’t take kindly to your usage of the term “Jap” since my wife is from Japan, you ignorant, biased, over-pompous, hear-wringing, self-important, holier-than-thou, city-slicker.

But I can tell you the meat tastes really good.

The whale population is far from endangered as it previously was. Select culls are completed. Not much different than a hunting season for deer or other ANIMALS.

Nope - but my wife is Japanese and I know that both members of my family and heres died on both sides....75_+ years ago.

You slam that same bias the Germans (WWI/II)way even now?, toward the Spanish (Spanish-American War)? the Brits way(R/1812)? How about the French (French-Indian War)? Or do you only reserve it for those from Japan?

Use those racial slurs on other races as well?

Take you ignorant bias and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Two points: First, I never said anything about hating all Japanese people. Second, I didn’t find it necessary to immediately resort to nasty name calling. Lying and name-calling are both are trademarks of liberal-speak.

As far as Germans go, my paternal side of the family came from Germany in the early 1800s. I have no use for anyone who participated in torture or death camps regardless of race or nationality. I was still in Vietnam when the My Lai massacre took place. Those troops deserved to be court-martialed and shot for what they did.

I have no racial bias at all (you may have missed the fact that I did not use the term “Japs” at all in any of my posts. Jumping to conclusions is another liberal trait and if I don’t get an apology I won’t be disappointed as I don’t really expect one. Sayonara.
