13 Things I Learned at Kahoolawe

Kahoolawe may be one of the world's most dangerous places. After 50 years of bombardment by the U.S. military, the island remains littered with unexploded ordinance. So why would Pinky & Bunny want to go there?

And what would help keep the US in check? If people don't speak out, then the government could very well become as bad as China and Somalia. Or would you prefer apathy? I commend them, they make some very good points.

i love number 4 "a society that perpetrates the abuse of land and ocean is sick..." im totally agree and its so sad to see that nowadays we are all getting sickier and sickier.

I quite enjoyed being there on a ship and shooting that island.  It was very good practice.

Our people are trying to perpetuate the culture, gather our history and teach it so that it can live on. DO NOT GET MAD that we are trying to teach people what happened. If it really bothers you, and you see bad in the world, why dont you try and change that. The Pinky show is trying to make something that she cares about a better place. So if the injustice in Iran and places like that are really bothering you and you feel there needs to be a change... why dont YOU go and fix things there.

To everyone dissing this video: You do not understand, so stop. Yeah, there are a lot of terrible things that happened to many places in the world. Hawaii was illegally overthrown and America SUPRESSED OUR CULTURE. Now that we have the freedom to revive our culture many Hawaiians and people throughout the world do not know what happened to Hawaii and Hawaiians. America hid what they did from everyone including Hawaiians.

& Just so everyone knows.. Yes Kaho'olawe is now a dessert land, but it wasnt always. This came about this way because America used it as bomb practice. They bombed teh island for years. This made teh island teh way it is now. people go to Kaho"olawe now to restore its beauty and culture. But there is still so much beauty, I wish you could see.

Thank you Pinky for sharing with everyone what happened to our sacred Hawaiian island!

@stjimy Actually, responding with an insult makes me proud to see that means I won the debate. Present from facts, here, that Island was nothing but desert, thereis ZERO fresh water, rats all over, no rain forest AT ALL, NOTHING to support life by itself!

@usmc7242 she dont need go to far to see intolerants animals!!!! u are the best example of that!!!
