Never mind the International Laws these people are violating.  I am surprised the Japanese Navy has never scooped these people up and taken them into custody.

If these lawbreakers had any guts they'd try to board a US Naval Vessel on the high seas to protest the use of nuclear power.  That of course would be the shows final episode at sea.

All we need to do next is go up to Siberia and renovate the place and we can wipe out at least 20 or 30 million right there.

Between the remaining Nazi death camps, Soviet gulags, Siberia and Obamacare we should be able to meet his target in about 10 years.

...besides humping for whale-watching charters. Whales are in fact, the "fakes" you speak of, or as conservatives like to say, "finned hippie cows."

If they're so smart, they should step up to the plate and show some initiative like you progressives... maybe wreck some boats like in the old days.

 Moron,

 Aren't you one of the buffoons who were jumping up and down and screaming about gitmo torture. Hypocrite! Go back to KOS.

 Got a problem with 'illegal' whaling? Call the UN...for all the good that does.

They're too busy attacking Israel and the US for fighting terrorists and not giving them enough money to maintain their crooked lifestyles and tinpot dictatorships.

How many destroyers does the UN have, anyway?

 areyou fake conservatives now anti law What have I told you about scolding and lecturing conservatives on what conservativism is when you have demonstrated you clearly are NOT a conservative?

are you against the minutemen too? or are you just COMPLETE hypocrites?  If anyone here is a COMPLETE hypocrite, it is you.  You constantly scold and lecture NBers for not being conservative when you yourself are not a conservative.  Finally, you whine and cry about something that, if you were intellectually consistent, is none of your business.  What does a hyper-isolationist like you even care about what the Japanese do, concerning...anything at all? 

Your opinion on Japan should be...well, you should have zero opinion of Japan, IF you were intellectually consistent.

so true.  "Pro lifers are deranged gun nuts."  

 The libs, their fringe goes taliban to save the whales but won't speak up for defenseless unborn babies. 

I couldn't think of a more useful research project.

 It wouldn't bother me a bit if every leftwing nutjob environmental 'activist' that pointed dangerous weapons at legitimate mariners ended up with a harpoon (accidentally, of course) up their @ss.

I, too, have seen just about every episode and I have never seen anyone explain ''culling of the whale herds'' explained nor even mentioned once. (Although, I do have the mind of a 85 year old male and he's anxious to get it back.) It's always ''the Japanese claim to be killing whales for scientific study'' - and the ''scientific study'' is never explained. At least, I've never heard any full explanation of what the Japanese are doing in the Antarctic Ocean from the 'Sea Shepherd Conservation Society' or the crew of the 'The Steve Irwin'. Or from Animal Planet as well.

And since the crew of the ship has almost all of the ''face time'' I don't think it's very balanced at all. Mind you, I don't care about that so much as someone claiming that.  I just watch it knowing it's the most hilarious example of Leftist Theology there is on the tube today.

Uh, what exactly is the purpose of your internet connection?  Uh, too stupid to actually try to type www.google.com into that field above you? Uh, too stupid to then type scientific whaling program into the only field that pops up on the page after that?

Uh, too stupid to click on the very first result?

Article VIII

1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Convention any Contracting Government may grant to any of its nationals a special permit authorizing that national to kill, take and treat whales for purposes of scientific research subject to such restrictions as to number and subject to such other conditions as the Contracting Government thinks fit, and the killing, taking, and treating of whales in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall be exempt from the operation of this Convention. Each Contracting Government shall report at once to the Commission all such authorizations which it has granted. Each Contracting Government may at any time revoke any such special permit which it has granted.

2. Any whales taken under these special permits shall so far as practicable be processed and the proceeds shall be dealt with in accordance with directions issued by the Government by which the permit was granted.

Uh, maybe you wanted us to contact the government of Japan and find out exactly what research they were conducting?

Uh, yea not gonna happen?

Uh, yea, not your google monkeys?

If these latter-day 'privateers' want to do some real good, they can putt on over to Somalia and ram some pirate dinghies.

But they might break a nail or even sustain a paper cut while reading them the riot act. (Just before their Zodiacs get blown to Sagittarius.)

I don't see that happening anytime soon. Liberal environmentalists, as do pirates, criminals and Democrats (but I repeat myself) prefer unarmed targets.

don't give me this... "let's be PC and respect their culture" nonsense.  Stop with the international populist stuff.  Japan is part of the world economy, first world nation... corporations provide many alternatives to whale meat... like beef, chicken, pork, turkey, salmon, etc... all farmed flesh based products made from domesticated animals.  But the Japanese culture accepts whale meat as a food source.  Basically, in Japan, if it swims, it's food.  Not too surprising since the Japanese islands are in fact surrounded by water as my use of the word "island" in plural implies...

But think about it for a minute.  Suppose the Japanese do not politely tell us to get bent, and they DO stop eating whale to make you feel better. What then?  Will we have to stop eating cow to make the Indians and Hindus in general feel better?  Will we have to stop eating pigs because we need to make Muslims feel better?

"Last time I checked cows and deer were`nt being driven to  extinction for "scientific research."

But, then again, nether are the whales.  The whale population has been increasing over the last 30 years, despite what Greenpeace may be telling you.  How can any species be driven to extinction while their numbers are increasing every year? They're not related to the increasing population of 'endangered' Polar Bears, are they?

Frankly, if the Japanese boat sunk the eco-terrorist's ship and brought the survivors on board, I think the proper course of action would be to tend to the wounded but confine them all, take them to the closest Japanese port of call, and bring them to trial in a Japanese court. Once they (the eco-terrorists) attack a ship, they are effectively breaking laws of that ship's country port of origin. For example, when the Somali pirates boarded that American ship (the Maersk Alabama cargo ship) and took hostages, they were violating American law even though the crimes took place in open, international waters. Also various maritime laws were being violated as well. If the Somali pirates were captured, it would be entirely acceptable and proper for them to be tried in an American court and if convicted, sent to an American prison. The same is applicable in regards to the eco-terrorists featured on the Discovery channel. If, for whatever reason, they were detained onboard a Japanese vessel, it would be proper and acceptable for them to be tried, and possibly convicted, in a Japanese judicial system.

Furthermore, if the eco-terrorists did manage to sink one of those Japanese vessels, they (including the Discovery channel and the production company being used) should be held accountable especially if any injuries and/or loss of life occurred. They would be considered international criminals and could be arrested in any port of call they entered, extradited and tried for crimes in international waters. Not only would jail time be a strong possibility, but civil damages would also be likely. Not to mention confiscation/forfeiture of the ship and all equipment onboard including the television production equipment. It might end up becoming a legal nightmare for a lot of people and companies not to mention a public relations nightmare.
