Whale Wars/ Animal Planet
 

omfg, we did not drop enough bombs on japan! ( I did not capitalize japan because I just lost respect for them, but I still love my car) Besides that they kill and eat Dolphins, watch this series about Whale hunting. These guy's are amazing.(The defenders, not the hunters). Research--- Riiiight.:crx:

You are a fucking retard. Every time I see that show I get so pissed. Some boat full of fucking tree huggers comes along and tries to ram my boat things won't end up well for them. Reminds me of something Michael Moore would do. Its none of their god damn business what someone from another country is doing in international waters. Causing damage to their equipment isn't solving anything and makes them look like a bunch of dick heads with nothing better to do than saving the whales.

And I am sure the nation of Japan is so hurt than you don't respect them, boo fucking hoo. Go cry a river that you can put the saved whales in. Save them from those evil Japs... oh and they need to come drop some bombs on your house.

Oh well you did not watch the series, they are in international, no hunting waters. The Antarctic is international protected waters. That is why this is being broadcast. Why wont the japs just buy the poison beef we produce and conform to fast food? Have you ever swam with wild Dolphins? Do you understand extinction?:noob:

I am a human, I'm at the top of the food chain because I have the ability to kill everything I want. If I want to eat dolphin steaks I damn well will.

Until there are no more dolphin steaks to eat. Then we just go extinct ourselves.

Well, once there are no more dolphin steaks I eat something else DUH!

I just said they were in international waters did I not. Read much? My point was who the fuck gave these hippies a pass to mess with other people. That would be like me going out into the woods and trying to scare off deer while someone is hunting. I would fully expect to get my ass shot. I'm all for preservation of endangered species, but this is a retarded way of doing it. Besides, the two major species they hunt in the show are the Minke whale, which is not even a threatened species. Its in the least concern status. The Fin whale is endangered, but not critically. I do agree they should be stopped but when there is a demand for a product there will always be someone to fill the need. Having a ship load of hippies is not how you stop them. Every little segment I have seen of the show, they never actually stop them. They just get in their way, try to get ropes stuck in their propellers and throw shit at them. That will really stop them from coming back.....

There are many other species in greater danger because of humans that I would like to see a show of. A species of whale I and 95% of people will never see in their lifetime doesn't exactly break my heart. They should focus on Tigers or something most people care a bit more about. I eat big steaks of ocean creature meat, but would never eat a big cat steak. Maybe that is just me.

Whale Wars people reminds me of:



:laugh:

I fucking love hippies sometimes! God that makes my side hurt. Maybe I'm a bit weird, but from the time I hear the first whimpers and moans I start laughing my ass off.

I want to see the Sea Shepard sink. If i ever go to Japan I'm getting a big whale steak.

Maybe a white whale will sink them. Whale probably taste like shit anyway. Though I would try it given the chance.

Wow, I can't believe people like that exist. That's hilarious. And the fact that they let themselves be filmed.....WOW

NA6c, I totally agree! Only resin I watch is to hope something disastrous happens to the PETA loving bitches! See the episode they sunk the RIB boat trying to launch it? Classic! If I was on the whale boat someone would have gotten shot along time ago!

God, I'm watching it right now and its so fucking infuriating! Stupid fat bastard captain needs to have his ass beat. Ramming a ship has to be illegal somehow, even if the other ship is violating international ban laws. Ram my ship and there will be hell to pay. I hope everyone on that ship catches a disease and dies. If I was rich I would buy my own large ship and go fuck with the Steve Irwin. Wait for them to ram a whaling ship, then I come from behind and ram them back. I would name my boat the Lynard Skynard just so they know for sure I am not a Japanese boat. :giggle: "Who the hell are these guys!? Hey cut it out, we are trying to save the whales!"

You can be a meat eater, have a heart and be responsible. it is possible.

I eat meat? Check
I have a heart? Check, I feel it beating
I am responsible? Check, I don't drink and drive

What is your point? I don't see how a few Japanese ships hunting for whales has anything to do with having a heart and being responsible.

That show is unwatchable. I love the logic of threatening lets say 60-human lives to save one whale at a time. Really brilliant. I hope whatever coast-gaurd fleets they have down there do not respond to these assholes.

my point is: i love kitties.

and yes, I have considered making muffins out of his cute little kittie ears; sometimes I have to restraint myself.

the point is that humans are largely naive about how the world works. I dont think there's one person on the planet that understands how the interactions between species works.

Have you not seen Star Trek IV??

Idk...
I dont love whales and feel bad for them or anything, but I realise the fact that they are part of our eco system, and since they have been hunted to the point of endangerment I dont think it should be legal internationally to hunt them.
The ecosystem is constantly changing, and humans are obviously goinmg to effect it all the time, but it only makes sense to try to keep our effects to a minimum (within reason).

I dont think that guerrilla tactics of some hippies on a boat is really the way to accomplish anything though. Im pretty sure Japan is part of the UN, seems like getting the issue addressed there would be the logical thing to do.

Thats my point ^ I agree it should be stopped, but that isn't the way.

The punctured their hull last night by ramming a Japanese vessel, unfortunately they found it and were able to patch it. They also got into some international trouble by deliberately ramming a vessel. They were forced to harbor and had charts, computers and video footage taken from them. I think they eventually got back out to sea though. I think they should all be beaten to death for being retards then fed to the fish. How is that for helping wildlife.

Send those hippie guys to the coast of Somalia so they can be shot at by bullets instead of water canons. I don't think anyone would pay the ransom and the show would be canceled.

If you live in a capitalist model and want to increase endangered animal population...make them food. Increasing population with whale "ranching" > eco-fags throwing bottles of shit and piss at each other.

I watched part of one episode. That's it. All I could take. It happened to be one where someone on the whale boat took a shot at them and I think shrapnel hit someone in the leg. They were indignant, shocked and freaking out about it. WTF did they expect. They are trying to ram another boat, they don't think the other boat should defend themselves?!?

The far left is just as terrifying as the far right. Fanatics suck.

TV in general sucks. Whale wars is just one of the many shitty shows that is on TV. I would rather be doing just about anything than watching cable.

My friend told me about whale wars and said it was awesome, "dude, you gatta watch it". I set my DVR to record it and by the time I got a minute to watch something it used up the whole box and didn't leave any space for UFC. I watched maybe 10 mins if that and deleted the rest. :td:

I agree to that. If its not MMA, its either National Geographic, History, Discovery or Food. Everything else I see is pretty much shit. Most everything now is reality TV that is no longer "reality". Its all staged and fucking stupid. Not that it wasn't stupid when it was more real.

My 52" Mitsubishi shit the bed the end of June. I've been haggling with Mits since then to get it fixed. I haven't watched more than 5 minutes' worth of TV at a time other than while walking through the living room when my wife has something on the other TV-generally a baseball game. Haven't missed it in the least and I've gotten a lot more done in the shop.

I spent a great deal of time deciding on what TV to get when I bought my new one. Funny thing is now that I have my ideal setup.....I barely use it. The only time the TV is really on is when my GF is here and wants to watch something.

Even dvds rarely make their way onto the screen. I was playing nazi zombies on COD5 at least once a week on xbox live, but the DVD drive shit the bed so now I cant play that....:vash:

Good TV: New season of Sons of Anarchy on FX tonight. One of the few great shows on TV.

Thanks, Rick. My Thread was that this is done "for research".
As for the series Sons of Anarchy, it is great entertainment, It is another version of the Sopranos.
Think what you may, when we slaughter our food sources, we as humans try to do it as humanly as possible. Would you spear your cow , pig , chicken, then drag it to the processing plant? No. Then why do it to marine mammals that are the closest to us in brain size and intelligence? Meet them, on equal terms, in their environment and you will see.
Living in south Florida, I have been diving with "true", ocean free dolphins for the last 30 years. They recognize my boat and show off their families, every trip. I only go to their grounds once or twice a year, but they still "know the boat".
Yes my grammar could be in error, correct me please,( I get class credit for it). Does the period go outside or inside the parenthesis at the end of a sentence?


I am ready for the Miami Auto-x, bring it on. anyone from the Palm Beaches going?

My friends and I watch that show sometimes. We take a drink every time they fuck something up in one of their ridiculous plans.

You Guy's must drink a lot!:giggle:

If it is a complete sentence the period goes inside the parenthesis. If the material is a part of the sentence preceding it then the period goes outside the parenthesis.

Haha, those morons finally got what was coming to them



Supposedly the Adi Gil was attempting to tangle the whaling ship's prop and/or rudder up in a net it was dragging. After 2 hours, the Jap captain got sick of it and stuck his bow into the Adi Gil. Shameful that such a beautiful ship was lost.

Was it just me or did that water cannon totally wipe someone out?

Wait, when did Batman start saving whales?

That was the best part when they kept shooting them with the water cannon after they fucked up that boat.
