It was one of the best summers of my entire life (so far) and the Nijmegen March was the highlight of it.

Dont take life to serious mate...i was just kidding around to take some heat off the tread..but its true,they all come here,nice people especially the girls,maybe its the whalemeat cause they have beautifull skins..

Oh i'm not taking it too serious. I probably should have added a smiley to my last post.

I just deleted that post:rotfl:Northern ireland is of no concern anymore i guess..we shouldnt take an old cow from the canal as we say here..

That would be like the idiots that rant at North American tourists because Bush was a ***** , it works well at informing the tourists that there are ranting idiots around.

Politics and whales dont mix very well i guess.I dont mind people ranting,i just ignore them.Also we are used to see people express their opinions all the time,its part of the Western culture..people are so easily offended and insulted these days,my advise get a hobby or a girlfriend,or both..

Chill out, man. The SS is American, right? So how do you deduce that I'm anti-American if I support them...?

As far as the Dalai Lama is concerned I don't care what you think about my opinion about him.

Really , then it was a very silly move for you to go slagging off other countries then.

And why exactly is this?

Thats so true, I am so glad Finland isn't driving its unique species to extinction in the same way as Ireland is .
So just for the fun of it why not look at the European list of endangered species. then compare how many endangered species Finland has exempted from its own list to those of other nations.
You really are living in a fantasy world if you think a country which still permits the hunting of endangered species can stand up to a comparison test with other nations .
You really have gone off blind on this topic havn't you

No, I don't think so. There are organisations like the SS in Finland as well. Also the Saimaa seal is protected so I don't know what your point is.

When it comes to overall ecological 'level' of a nation there are no '100% ecological' nations around. However there are countries that do more then others. Here's a list (by the Americans) about the 'ecology level' of certain nations. Ireland really doesn't rank very high. You can get the specifics when you click the country name.

Not in the slightest , a country as far as I am concerned is just some lines on a map where you have to utilise different ways of avoiding tax.

Oh yea, tax evasion. Tell me that you also indulge in beating up Polish immigrants and I will believe that you are indeed a 100% Irishman.

Also the Saimaa seal is protected so I don't know what your point is.

Its protected???? So on average how many are killed each year by fishermen in Finland?
How many animals on the critical list of endangered species can you legally kill in Finland?

What an interesting chart , if you reset the parameters to conservation Finland really plummets , if you do it to marine conservation and protection it plummets even further ..if you do it to critical species conservation it drops right down the list.
You really do make it too easy, have you ever considered thinking before you write?

More racist stereotyping on your part, you really shoud learn to not be so silly.

I'm not sure, presumably quite a few. None for 'scientific purposes'. This is supposed to make the case for organisations like the SS worse in what way...?

Edit. Btw, Finland still does better then Ireland.

Tell me, how does one go about evading taxes? You being the expert and all.

It is to show your arguements to be of the bollox variety , there is no need to make the sea Shepherds case worse as they have no case at all .

I actually watched part of their show tonight. While I don't really like whaling, this show just glamo(u)rizes eco-terrorism imo.

Those marus need to arm themselves with a heavy-duty paintball cannon and shoot oil based paint shells at those guys.


on a side note; do the Chinese eat whale. I'd like to see these guys F@#$ around with the PLAN. "The sea shepard" vanishes in south seas w/o a trace.

Really I can't blame the Japanese for doing this.

[AVGWarhawk]

Looks to me the protesters got their stealth boat type deal much to close to the larger vessel thus getting it crunched. However, I see the Japanese were using water cannons! Who heck finances these guys to go out harrassing whalers anyway?

Was thinking the same thing when I saw that boat.

[jimbob]

It seems logical that a huge craft is rammin' tiny craft.

No way to avoid it.

People like that guy who was banned for insulting people in the other whaling thread. I believe his name was Contact.



And maybe Discovery Channel.

[AVGWarhawk]

I know Discovery has a whale wars program. It is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Until then we will make millions.
