hoytdwow 202 Posted July 10, 2012 I caught it Friday night...was pretty entertaining. Very action-packed. I guess a lot of people probably think they're loony libs or whatever, but I thought it was a good show. It's about the Sea Shepherds, who try to stop Japanese whaling. They're somewhat hapless, and deal with a lot of equipment problems and ineffectual tactics, so they lack a certain gravitas, but I enjoyed the show. The Japanese dudes on the security ships are pretty scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you see the one where he claimed to have been shot by the Japanese whalers? what a focking joke that was. I wish they had shot his stupid ass.

GettnHuge 2 Posted July 10, 2012 I'll have to try this show. I haven't watched it because I thought it was some kind of Biggest Loser spin off. it is a biggest loser. Harf the people who watch the show are watching to see the greenies fail and japan win. You get to see their lying propaganda first hand. 3 seasons ago, they came up with a plot to board a japanese ship with 2 of their people, and then they were going to call the media to say that the whalers have taken their crew as hostages. no kiddin, that was the plan. The good Cap'n watson justified it by saying it's ok to lie because they are overall in the right. The last episode, they recruited 3 volunteers to board a jap ship because that would somehow stop the whalers. it's ridiculous. They constantly cry about the japanese violence against them (as they are boarding their ships and trying to ruin their props) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_78o4RFwTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxk56ZEQSoE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudBro 173 Posted July 10, 2012 i watched it a few years ago. they've surely gotten better. i really hate to see those whaling ships take whales illegally. i think it would be cool if the sea shepherd could just call in the location and we could send in a couple of f-18s to take out the whaling ships. now, that would make for some good tv.

There has been a moratorium on whaling since 1986, of which Japan is a signatory. The southern ocean (around antarctica) is a whale sanctuary. There's no such thing as sustainable whaling. You can't replace the whales you kill. It's not forestry for chrissakes. And, if the Japanese are in the right, why do they disguise the whaling ships as "research" vessels? Why do a bunch of crewman hold up signs that say "research" while they're rendering the carcasses? What productive research is done on dismembered whales?

As for the f18s they can't fly that far um, i have no sympathy for either the whalers or the sea shepherds. couldn't care less about either of the them. you wanna take a whale, then get your skinny ass in the water and fight it out. the eskimos don't need multi-million dollar ships. and moreover, nobody needs to do research, or eat, or get fat for food from a whale outside of some eskimos. take your whale sushi or whatever you make out of whale and shove it. there is no genuine hypothesis over whale hunting that can even approach nonsense. as to the f-18s, you watch your mouth, mister. a fuel tanker and 4 f-18s could take out iran on their own, let alone a bunch of hack japanese whale fishing boats.

hoytdwow 202 Posted July 11, 2012 The Japanese would not be allowed to do it if it were not legal. really?

Vikings4ever 538 Posted February 25, 2013 http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/51124/dramatic+collision+in+southern+ocean+leaves+anti-whaling+boat+damaged/ A controversial group opposing Japanese whaling in the Antarctic region on Monday released video showing one of its ships, the Bob Barker, being sandwiched tightly between two larger vessels: a Japanese whaling ship and a Korean refueling tanker. It also shows what's said to be a flash-bang grenade explosion near the stern of the refueling ship, Sun Laurel. The dramatic incident surely ranks as among the most tense in the years-long history of clashes between the whalers and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The latter group, which annually opposes Japan's whaling effort with harassment techniques, reports that the Bob Barker has been badly damaged but its crew is safe. Sea Shepherd also stated that another of its vessels, the Sam Simon, was dinged during another collision with the Nisshin Maru, and that there was a third collision that involved the Nisshin Maru.
