WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THE GLASS JAW!
After watching whale wars on animal planet I have a new found passion...
To be a security officer on a Japanese whaling boat, I can't imagine anything else more satisfying than being paid to slam a Eco hippie head against the deck. I really don't know why I can't seem to care about their cause, maybe it has something to do with much graver problems at this point in time.
Maybe it's because whales slaughter isn't is nearly as dire as it was in the 80s. Maybe it's because the primary whale they hunt for isn't even on the endangered list. For some reason it feels completely reasonable for at least one country to be able to hunt whales considering how much meat a single whale can produce not to mention the benefits of its natural oil. And it's completely reasonable that its a Island country with one of the largest populations in the world.
Or maybe it's just the fact that they are all fags and douche bags! Seriously watch the show and find out for yourself, they claim that the Japanese whalers are murderers and basically pirates of the sea. But I only see them throwing stink bombs on their decks and trying to destroy their engines with a snag line.
And jumping aboard in attempts to serve a fake warrant that they print out that's backed by no legal recourse whatsoever. And on top of that flying a flag that's basically the Jolly Roger with the shepherds Cain and Trident underneath the skull. Now imagine your a Japanese deck hand just try to support your family and all this is happening, who looks more like a pirate?
Now don't get me wrong I love animals but not enough not to admit that some of them are pretty damn tasty. Man is a carnivore and we would all immediately find that out the moment all the lights go out and the structure of society crumbles away I would like to see how many vegetarians managed to make it.
But my argument for the rights of the Whalers is completely futile and my hatred hatred for the hippies unwarranted.
as I found myself very entertained by the all-day marathon with the simple fact that they are fantastic failures. Their entire crew is made up of volunteers which if anyone has ever worked in volunteer organizations you know how smooth that goes. Now imagine that same atmosphere trying to efficiently run a ship and launch attacks. It definitely doesn't help that they are led by an aging hippie who is legend for his radical acts of hippie violence for animal conservation.
He likes to claim that he shot African poachers while protecting the elephants. But the way the fat ass refuses to leave the bridge no matter how much falls apart all around him due to lack of an experience crew and a piss poor chain of command. it's hard to see the blowhard has ever done any dirty work him self.
His only real talent seems to be the art of bullshit with the media and his love for attention. All of a sudden it becomes more about him instead of the whales.
I'll probably continue watching the show in hopes that one of the hippies takes a bat the teeth while trying to board another ship, that's if they can ever manage get their shit together to ever get that far again.

You're right though, the crew of the boats are just making a living, and the volunteers have no real money. How do they even get fuel for their own little boat?
Here in Australia they come down passed us so they can hunt down the endangered Humpback whale while they are migrating. They even kill the calfs.
Just curious how many whales have to die until the Japanese have "Studied" how a whale works?
But at the same time there are whalers within their rights, sticking to a quota and only hunting the non-endangered species. There is just way too many shades of gray for the hippies to simply wage war indiscriminately.
pardon my typs. its late where i am and i am over tired. lol
Just insert Beatnik, Commie, Irishman, Black, Indian, Scotsman, Japanese, or anything else into the equasion.
I admit you have something of a valid point, UNLESS the hippies have a valid point, which may be, IF the blurb about the fishing being illegal under international law is true. In which case, it sounds almost criminal to want to stop said (Ad Hominem/Snarl Language) "hippies."
Only idiotic yong white people would zip along side of the mammoth whaling boat thinking they can make a difference. Thinking that nothing more than a series of pranks that could easily turn into an act of terrorism would make them feel like radicals.
Evidence of this is obvious when you see some of the honkys sporting a rebel insignia from Star Wars on their helmets. Except for the helicopter pilot, for some reason he has a imperial insignia on the back of his helmet which makes a whole hell of a great deal of sense.
The bulk of the volunteers are just hotheaded hooligans that want to drink in the danger and call themselves radicals by throwing stink bombs and growing nasty looking goatees.
(actually their new helmsman is Asian, but in one of his interviews he got really excited that they used a maneuver from Star Wars by hiding behind an iceberg to evade the spy ship just like how the millennium falcon did immediately changed them from Asian honky white!)
And I definitely don't want to see any of them killed, you don't learn anything when you're dead I just want to see them get hurt. Which they do quite well.
How about try and find a different way to go about it? "Every minute we stay with them, they aren't fishing" or something is their popular line. They can't stay with them all the time and they aren't gonna stop them permanently by poorly boarding their ship and getting captured or throwing stink bombs at them.
You're doing a disservice to us fags. D:
Actually, we are omnivores, Probably evolved do to the fact that for millions of years man has struggled to get food, as we were scavengers, rather then predators like lions, and what-not. I think prehistoric humans just ate the leftovers of the predators, and any plant food they could find that was eatable etc. Thats from my understanding, I could be wrong :P
Neanderthals were carnivores and look what happened to them.
even tho the show itsself sucks.
With that flag those eco-hippies fly, were I the Japanese I'd just say that they were pirates and then treat them as such, except use RF jamming to make sure no media gets wind about it, then go Genghis Khan on 'em.
I thought better of you.
The show itself seems more fake than real, including the issues, heh.
