Eat Whale Steaks

This is an article by VOA published March of 2008.

I am sure it seems like these "anti-whaling activists" are poor innocent people there to save the helpless whales and then BOOM out of nowhere... these evil Japanese Whale killers attack them...

But the truth is somewhere else...

There are two links below to two different VOA stories...

Now IF you read this for what it is... you will find two different parties, with 2 radically different views, clashing.

I am not on either side of this issue. Because frankly I couldn't care less. BUT I am sick of these environmentalist retards picking a fight with some one (regular folks, governments, law enforcement, etc) and then whining cause they got pushed around, maced, or whatever.

This all occurs because people care more about animals than they do people. However don't take that to mean that I think people should or can mistreat animals just because they are animals. But I also don't think people should harm a human to save some tree grub or any other animal.

I think the reason people are so passionately about animals is they either have been hurt by people and use it as an escape or defensive mech. or they have to fill up the emptiness inside them with something. I mean we can pour our love into a furry little creature, and they won't hurt us back right.?.?

But what happened in the arctic does mostly put into perspective on how childish or maybe stupid some can be. My grandfather told me to never pick a fight that I couldn't win.

And then we have the less intelligent "whale savers". I believe they call themselves or the boat the "Sea Shepherd". Because they are arrogant enough to think humans can control everything. Including nature.

So what we have is hippies vs. the Japanese Coast Guard (military). This doesn't seem to be a fair match up but they have made their bed. The hippies throw a mild acid onto the whaling vessel which turns out to be butyric acid. (which is common in rotten butter, parmesan cheese, and vomit) And is what they use to make stink bombs... and not your run of the mill stink bombs but the kind that makes people vomit uncontrollably. Which is so much fun.

So we have a bunch of hippies out to save the world, throwing acid (mild enough to only give people a rash or make them have burning eyes, oh and the vomiting) onto the ship of the evil whalers. Then the CG chucks flash bang grenades onto the other ship and the hippies whine and cry... and bitch and moan.

Now... The captain whines about someone shooting him... in his bulletproof vest. I am not an "expert" on Japanese military munitions. But if they are keeping up with the times... and I do believe they are... Any round fired from a CG rifle would have gone right through the vest and into the captain, and he would not be whining now because he would be dead. Now if they shot him with a side arm (pistol, for the hippies) it is entirely possible that it would have not penetrated the vest and voila, the captain live to whine another day.

But the captain admits to not seeing who (and my oppinion IF) shot him.

Again I don't have all the facts, just what it reads in these two stories.

Now I do want to point out that "Whaling" is a ingrain part of Japanese culture. And I thought that the hippies were all about celebrating diversity and respecting others cultures. No, I guess not. That is only the case when they have something to gain from it.

I will say it goes back to an older set of wisdom standards... Like don't pick a fight with someone who can and will kick the ever living crap out of you. Unless that is what you are aiming for... so you can whine and moan... so you can get publicity...

Hippies don't ever learn. Maybe it is all the dope or acid? Or maybe not? I don't know. But maybe someone should feed them to the whales, and see how long they still love the helpless creature.

Food for thought.......

Who wins in a fight? The shark or the tiger?
Post comments for your answer please. And someday I might write something on that subject.
