@bwirum Oh what is his native language then Sherlock, dude you are almost as stupid, you cant put it to the extreme, like write back in his language perfectly, my first language isn't even English, in fact it is my third and I am still trying to perfect it. So friend think before you write, btw I don't dislike you because I cant hate any person, you should really be more lovable and look into yourself, you don't even know me or know the feeling that went through me when i read that comment.

Great Work, those hippies had it comming

[bwirum]

@sweetcrook Maybe he should answer in his native language and you could try writing perfectly in the same languange? I strongly dislike people like you who sit on a high horse trying to gain advantages through stupid comments not concerning the matter at hand at all.

@MrNubjin There are two possibilities... one is that the Japanese turned into Sea Shepard, and the other is that Sea Shepard drove in front of them. You told me that I was wrong for saying that the Shonan turned into Sea Shepard, so you clearly are saying the other is true. What you are blind to is rational thought and reasoning. Anyone who has ever played a sport can tell from the outset of that video that the two objects are not going to come into contact unless one of them changes course.

[MrNubjin]

@pdogg81 well why dident the sea shepard do anything then? they had forward motion. but they did nothing. and where did i say that drive in front of them? i dident mention anything in hope of you could see what is infron of your eyes. but then again some ppl are to blind when it comes to certain things.

[pdogg81]

@MrNubjin It's clear as day. The trajectory of the Shonan Maru was going to take it past the disabled ship. International Maritime Rules call for ships to prevent collision, and the Japanese ship should have at the very least steered away from the Sea Shepard vessel if it thought there was risk of a hit. All of the crew of the disabled ship are on top, so if you claim they are driving the smaller boat in front of the Shonan then you are a proagandist and a liar.

[MrNubjin]

@pdogg81 that`s bullshit and you know it also. so use your eyes and look again.

fuck you shonan mary no. 2
