you might wonder why we Scandinavians kill the whales, its because we dont eat them alive

[ContrastNY]

OVER 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises are slowly killed every year as a result of entanglement in commercial fishing gear, including endangered and critically endangered species. If the Sea Shepherds are "Eco-Warriors", why don't they focus on that, rather than the 500 to 1,000 non-endangered pilot whales the Faroese kill and eat? Perhaps, that won't make good T.V.?

[herdisigong]

what is the song called?

[Skraelingful]

To the shire of hobbits? Can you idiots fucking stop with the lord of the rings bullshit. This is the Norse part of the world, Scandinavia, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Not some stupid place for imaginary people in a movie. Elves and hobbits from lotr? Just fuck off.

@mikejensenshow Ok yeah you could say that way. :) In the US they build houses of paper it seems when i watch discovery and see the hurricanes in USA they are about the magnitude of a normal Faroese hurricane but it's more the rule than exception that you see houses standing. The hurrcanes there destroy nearly EVERYTHING. And LOTS of people die.

THey build too weak.

[mikejensenshow]

@turbofritz2 u do that because the nature rules u too ! in denmark we build a much simpler house because Nature does not rule that we must build bunkers ;)

[turbofritz2]

Jesus LOL - I'm from Faroe Islands Nature doesn't rule anything here.

We have one of the most violent weather the biggest waves and LOTS of storm.

But Faroese are mastering the sea and the weather has no influence.

As an example we had 70 M/S of storm but not a single man got injured - A few houses got damaged.

A corresponding storm would kill sevral people in the US or Denmark - Because you build weaker houses than we do and are not prepeared.

im from a canadian island myself, this place looks amazing!

[yankorusev]

Heaven on earth. Beautiful singing. I want to stay in the faroes for a few weeks

[Jxzor]

[curandero88]

oh,jeezus; stop overplaying it. Cut the musical crap and speak.

[R3troguy]

@BrandurJustinussen Too sad you're talking about of your ass about that.

We are nature's bitch.
