Sea Shepherd, Steve Irwin Almost collides with Nisshin Maru

[taylor1hp]

I don't understand how this is not considered terrorism

[monokhem]

@taylor1hp Terrorism is meant to cause fear. This directly blocks the Japanese from illeagle whaling.

Terrorism is criminal. This is happening in Australia's water and they don't have a problem with it.

Terrorists kill people, the sea shepherds don't.

You should have found out what terrorism meant before you asked the question.

[taylor1hp]

@monokhem Have you watched the show?! Did you not see when the Japanese whaling fleet crashed into the Ady Gill and completely destroyed it? Tell me that didnt put fear into the eyes of the people on that ship you idiot. Prop valor's and harassment by throwing things at other ships is and can turn into fear, tell me people that volunteer to go on the sea shepherd and stand up for what they believe in arnt scared. Yes you know the definition of terrorism but you never analyzed what ur watchn

[monokhem]

@taylor1hp Calling me an idiot while you display your complete lack of understanding of the term terrorism only compounds your foolishness.

[taylor1hp]

@monokhem Your the most moronic person in the world anyone with a brain bigger than an ant would understand that this relates to terrorism.

[monokhem]

@taylor1hp Keep being wrong. I love that you couldn't get "You're" right as you were calling me a moron. If you get tired of looking like a fool, I suggest reading more, and spouting whatever pops off of your (correct usage) head less.

[taylor1hp]

@monokhem Your the fucking idiot learn to use internetz language fool. This is terrorism no doubt about it and stop being a fucking fan boy of the show because you dont know what your talking about.

[monokhem]

@taylor1hp Really? I'm stupid because you called me stupid and couldn't even avoid screwing that up? Just because you don't have doubts doesn't mean you are right, it means you are stubborn.

You sound like George Bush calling everything you don't like "terrorism". Your in great company there half wit.

[blordenstien]

Sea Shepard and its whiny frog kissing crew need to get lifes...........Steve Irwin is a liar and a drama queen faggot

[Segrare]

@blordenstien And what have you ever done in life?

If whaling was done in moderation and for a real cause, the world would think of it differently. But whales are endangered and are being killed for food. The Sea Shepherd group are just doing what they think is right.

[eckyspondoolie]

@blordenstien Um... unless you've been in outer space for 5 years.... Steve Irwin is the name of the SSCS Boat. the real Steve Irwin is dead. Also you can't spell Shepherd correctly. But then again people who talk shit are ignorant usually. LOL

[LittleMrRandom]

in the description you forget to mention that the whaling boat told them to back off and then the Steve Irwin was the FIRST to fire with 2 flash grenades at their deck.The Japanese were in defense not the other way around.

[Frostfalle]

I think what Paul wrote was a hilarious caricature of the sealers and politicians which unfortunately holds some truth.

Can you not take what one person has to say? Write something in return ffs!

Explain why he's wrong!

Sealing is a barbaric practice, and by the sounds of it he's stepping on a subject which is very sensitive, a subject you cannot defend without attacking him personally.

[Frostfalle]

Dude you have issues, seriously.

SSCS is fair game because they posted a reference to the seal hunt?

Have you ever heard of something called "freedom of speech"?

Or maybe that doesn't apply to people who opposes the seal hunt?

Maybe they shouldn't even be considered Canadians?

Ahh, wonderful.

[romika3]

This is no different that ranting and raving or throwing pre-loaded bottles of b-acid.

[romika3]

Read: this is the reason and there is much more. His hate, dispise, deamonizing, and his reference to a people. We are fed up.

Baby Seal Bashing Politics in the Great White North

Commentary by Captain Paul Watson

SSCS is fair game and they have seen nothing yet. Any reference to the hunt this year on the web will be delt with to the end

[Frostfalle]

SSCS isn't doing there there actions for money, if you looked into their financiers you would see that they have a very scarce budget compared to NGO:s such as GP. It is clearly displayed and they have a record of using their funds very efficiently, they are ranked as Four star by Independent Charity Navigator, which reviews NGO:s finances.

[Frostfalle]

I can understand if you feel unfairly treated, but the thing is that just because someone else also is doing something which is not considered fair or humane (such as skinning harp seals for their furs alone and killing them clubs) doesn't mean that what you are doing is okey. That's a very childish point of view.

[Frostfalle]

No one can do everything, and they have done more far more than most organizations. Just because they haven't yet targeted the areas that you want them to doesn't mean that what they are doing is terrorism or wrong.

[Frostfalle]

SSCS has intertwined against countless atrocities around the world,

shark finning, whaling in the Soviet, Norway, Faroese, Iceland Japan , harp seal hunts, long lining, drift netting, saved stranded whales, exposed shark fin mafias and governmental corruption, exposed dolphin massacres in Taniji, they are an official law enforcement agency in the Galapagos, they are currently on their way to the Mediterranean to save the endagerd blue fin tuna.

[romika3]

And so perhaps you should. Read the posts not hear but everwhere you do not have the support you think. There is a way to meet those adgends but attacting the people is not and methods ???. I read some of Wastson commentary. An embarrsement to any conservation movement. A rant and that's it. To bad.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

I think I understand your point of view.

But this world is in need of passionate people who are willing to actually take action, in order to change the world for the better. Not just people sitting around hoping and begging for a change, that has never produced any results , civil rights movement, mandela, slavery, etc the list goes on.

I don't see why we should respect the actions of people who are abusing or destroying habitats or creatures, just because they may oppose our actions.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

If we really want to save what's left on this planet for further generations, we need action. Of course these actions must be reasonable, and every mean possible must be taken to avoid anyone being harmed. Diplomacy and protest alone, isn't effective, we cannot simply watch while others abuse the planet and it's creatures. The most effective mean would be a combined effort of non-violent direct action and public awareness.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

At least that is my point of view.

But I cannot understand why you are putting down so much energy into demonizing a organization which goals are consistent with yours. Or are truly an environmentalist as you claim?

If that is the case, why don't spend that energy on constructive things, that you think is the right thing to do. Instead of trolling around with old, copy-pasted and incorrect information like a five year old on a spree?

[Frostfalle]

If you have been, I cannot understand your point of skepticism, if you really cared I don't see what your point is.

There are countless areas in the need of protection around the world, no single organization can tackle all of them.

This isn't about demonizing canadian sealers, the fact is that the canadian seal hunt is the by far largest hunt in the world. The seal hunt in Namibia is a disgrace as well, and should also be stopped.

[romika3]

Frostfalle: You are most likely alright. What you have to understand is that there is a people, and if you do the research, and look at the hate pages, and talk to people of have been spit on, called in the middle of the night and the list goes on and on. Who see that they have been singled out then you would understand. Perhaps the seal hunt will die on its own if left alone, but when you get a peoples back up they stand their ground. The same thing is happening in Japan regarding whaling.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

Any such behavior that you outlined below I take strong opposition against, I do not wish to threated anyones life or the life's of their families. That is simply wrong and has nothing to do with conservation. On that I totally agree.

The thing is that I have never ever seen any sourced evidence of this, and I think it is lies of people who wishes to demonize the people who are questioning their source of income.

[romika3]

Here are two

f uck off newfoundland

There are many more that we have identified

[romika3]

Recently I have seen a growing negative response to SSCS, PETA and other groups like these. Doing more damage than good and tarring everybody else, who are dealing with environmental issues, with the same brush. To the Japanese, don't back down, don't give in, stand your ground. Its like the Newfoundland Seal Hunt, we will never yield to an organization whose sole interest in an environmental issue is governed by its ability to generate donations. That's a fact.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

Please, your comments are pathetic, why don't you use your time for something constructive, instead of trolling around with your pathetic shit about SSCS being money suckers?

Where are your scars? What have you done for the conservation of this planets ecosystems? Sounds to me as if someone is jealous, or you just don't like people who opposes your source of income?

That is probably as far as you can come from a fact, that's just your subjective spin on the matter.

[romika3]

Been involved with environmental issues for 25 yrs. Show me that SSCS is a real conservation organization and I (we) will rest. Don't be selective, tackle the seal hunt in Namambia and prove me wrong.

[romika3]

That's our big problem, Over the years you've used the East Coast Seal Hunt has your money maker, and ignored other hunts. One of you members stated that SSCS didn't have the funds. Well, you sent a 1.5 million dollar boat to the bottom recently and you've been bobbing around in the southern waters eating beans. South Africa is only a stones throw to the westward.

[romika3]

Finially true environmental organizations do not use the "s" word in their correspondence or attack individuals rather than the issue. When an individual or organization does this it is a "red flag" that they really cannot justify what they are doing.

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

Since when did SSCS divert their campaigns against targeting individuals?

That is a peculiar claim.

[romika3]

Your boss is the one who speaks about the money thing

Another memorable Watson quote was on CBC radio following his expulsion from Greenpeace. He was asked why he was focused on the seal hunt. He responded "because there is no money left in dolphins".

[Frostfalle]

@romika3

On the CBS claim. Please show me a source of these claims.

[Snowwie888]

I think they need a bigger boat. But if those guys really love Whales so much, they would SINK the Japanese whaling fleet regarding to costs and being prosecuted after wards.

[BulgarianInCanada]

GO SS!

though the loudspeakers on the Nisshin are much louder...

[triathlete77]

Gooo SSCS!!!!

[SeaShepherdSecurity]

[riesutas1]
