I'm sure they can find better things to do with their lives than freeze their butts on the antarctic.

bdong,
They didn't buy the boat. The owner of the boat decided to join them. Sorry but your guess is totally wrong.

Heda,
If someone gets injured, it must be accident. I know noone from Seasheperd will intentionally kill anyone. They are there to save lives, not to end it. Whalers are more likely to cause accidents, playing with LARD and other military greade weapons. Did I answer your question?

Surely, no such thing will ever happen. WIth the latest addition to Japanese whaling fleet, a security ship, it's more likely that one of the anti-whalers getting hurt. Surely, I'd feel same if there's any casualties because of this silly fight. But greenpeace is not to blame, they are only there to try to protect animals we love.

I never said anything about the endangered status. All I know is that there is no guranteed way of counting the numbers of minke whales, or any other sea creatures. What one group says about the endangerment status can easily be rejected by other.
I'm saying is, pulling life out of their natural environment for purpose of eating (having variety of meat in your dish) is not respecable and seems very primitive.

What there is to misunderstand? They want to kill and eat whales, animals rest of the world admires and loves. Sustainibility is not important, we don't want any whales to be harpooned.

Anyone can say "I'm offended by it". Easy way to end a conversation. Hollocaust was a good example. JT has cut some of my posts about it, saying that it's offensive to some people. Though all I was saying that "this comes strange to be becuase of ..." So JT believes if it can be offensive to others, I have no right expressing my views. To me, they are facts collected by people who want to know the truth, all truth, nothing but truth.

Well, I'm not saying this is not true, but I have a gaijin male friend who won the custody of his daughter becuase the mother didn't have a steady job and was working as a hostess. She fight with all her might to have the custody of the child, but J-Judge favored for my gaijin friend. So it is possible if you can prove that you are a fit father and she is not a fit mother.

Nothing is impossible. This maybe the understanding in Japan, but in western (or even eastern) world, we believe that the laws must be made to protect people. Even I'm not from this country, I know the laws will change to accomodate people's feelings. Maybe you and I won't see it, but it will change. The reason why this is attracting so much fuss is becuse it's not fair. Fathers can not just forget their children and lawmakers can not make them forget.
Well, one thing is you're asking all to stop complaining and abide the law. That means just forget that you ever had a child and go on with your life. If you are saying this, it means you understand the law, find it reasonable, and telling others to stop complaining about it. That, makes me assume that.
Remember, if you don't raise your voice and complain, it means you agree with laws. It's not only your right, but your responsibility to protest against bad laws.

Such a rubbish comment. If you feel it's unfare, it's your moral responsibility to complain about it. Do something to change it. It's not clear what you're saying though. "Not saying stop being a father to your child, except you are in Japan?" Well we are talking about Japan here. Laws are old and they assume that father can just forget about seing his children ever again after divorce, if mother doesn't let him to. In a lack of better word, it's just UNFAIR!! How are you supposed to wipe the memory of your children off your head? If you can do that, you didn't love them from the begin with.

OK, I'm calm, I decided to side with you, the darkside. Where we should keep on killing whales and make it look like humans enjoy inflicting pain and suffering to innocent animals. I also admire your kindness. I love you too. I wish there were more of people like you in this cruel world.

Heda & Rogue: Kill, destroy, eat, support the ones that kill, destroy and eat!
Cleo and all others: Don't kill, protect, preserve, respect, love, peace.
Hmm, hard decision who to side with.
