That's a freaking river. Amazing.

I would say that river dolphins are just as cool as oceanic dolphins

There's a lovely film on You-Tube of Adolf Hitler hugging Blondie, his German Shepard dog. Would anyone watching this NOT make a comment on Hitlerism & Hitlerian atrocities? Jacques Cousteau proposed genocide, the slaughter of 350,000 people per day to satisfy the Z.P.G. monsters, and many folks say that it is irrelevant to the fine oceanographic work done by this warty frog.

@critterfreek82 : There's a lovely film in this venue of Adolf Hitler hugging Blondie, his German Shepard dog. Would anyone watching this NOT make a comment on Hitlerism & Hitlerian atocities? Cousteau proposes genocide and you say that this is immaterial.

@procommenter I'm sorry, but what the hell do you mean by that? I'm just saying enjoy the video and leave politics out of the comments. I see this happen on so many other YT vids, and I get sick of it. It's a segment about dolphins and nothing more.

Oh, and Cousteau was a scientific HERO who educated so many people and gave them the ability to explore the ocean's wonders with his scuba. I dive myself actually.

The humane societies across America gas & decompress to death 95% of the puppies & kittens in their care and call in euthanasia or mercy killing. How's it merciful to kill healthy puppies & kittens?

[procommenter]

You-Tube's vast congregation of "atheists" write abysmally. Why is this so? Why is your brethren so poorly represented in this venue?

@critterfreek82 : How long have been a member of the Nazi party?

[critterfreek82]

@procommenter Just enjoy the damn footage and be grateful that someone was willing to sweat and bleed and strain and make the effort to bring these amazing creatures to your laptop screen, OK?
