bgaudry,
What's damo? Regardless, I believe we should only eat the animals we have to, spare the lives of others, as much as we can. They are not here for us to kill and eat, they are here, just like we are, trying to live their lives. Just because we have to eat some, doesn't justify that we can eat any and all. Humans respect life and intelligence. If we see an animal carrying same characteristics as us, wouldn't it be harder to kill them? Isn't there any respect to their life they have?

Well, not in Okinawa. In here everyone gets it, not matter how poor.

Sure I am, very much. What I don't appreciate though, people, who think they have right to slughter the animals that most of the world love and respect. Why is it so much harder for those fisherman to respect the culture of rest of the world? Just FYI, no, we don not agree at all.

Davidatokyo,
I think there is a need to tie that to taking away rights for slaugtering. Even if they helped just one child, it deserves respect. What if it was the child of one of those fisherman? Wouldn't they be moved by that? Could that fisherman keep on killing dolphins after one of them helped his kid smile for the first time? How can you appreciate them and slaugther them at the same time?
Also I read your post on mercury issue before it was taken out. People can chose what they eat, only if they are aware of the effects to their health. Forcing the dolphin meat to the market or schools, without letting the public know about the potential health effects, is criminal. Those people care more about their pockets than health of the people they are pushing the meat to.

Illsayit,
Dolphins needs saving. Because they are being slughtered inhumanely. If you're saying they don't need saving, you must not know about them at all. Have you seen an autistic child smiling first time in his life, with the presence of dolphins? A kid, who saw their parents being murdered in front of him, never said a word in his life, overcalming this trauma, in presence of dolphins? You can stare at anything all day long, doesn't mean that you want to learn about them. All it takes is ignorance, which your comments show that you posses great deal of.

ANOTSUSAGAMI,
I don't think you understand me correctly. Please watch this video, it has it all.

And what personal gain are you talking about? None of these people earn a single cent out of this.

Davidatokyo, You know the reason for this slughter is not really for eating them, but let's say it is, I doubt very much that it's in benefit of humans, because of the high mercury levels in their meat. I always wanted to hear your take on the mercury issue. Just posted some links above about how bad the mercury is for humans. Please let me hear your opinion on this.

I don't think GWB had anything to do with it either. Not even sure if he was involved. Surely I have more questions than answers. I don't like conspiracy theorist, neither anarchists. But when I saw the top of the building is falling with an angle, I was sure it didn't receive any resistance from the floors below. That fact itself is a proof enough. I'm not engineer or arhitect, but I know bit of physics to understand that's not how buildings fall.

bgaudry,
Please go out and eat all the dolphin meat you can find. Don't worry about mercury levels, it won't kill you. And don't worry about the articles below either, they are just bunch of lies.

Tigris, Ric is fighting against all dolphin captivity, but I mainly care about the slughtering. Once we stop all the slughtering, we can focus on problems with captivity.
And just because there isn't enough scientific evidence, doesn't make it ineffective. I just means more research has to be conducted. There are positive results. Some kids smiled first time in their life after meeting dolphins. Some kids said their first words. Can be cruel depending on their living conditions. But at lease they are helping humans, not looking cute and forced to perform tricks.

bgaudry,
Don't have to be sorry, my argument resolves around collective knowlegde we have been gathering about dolphins. Sure you don't have to believe it. It's easy to be ignorant. More you study, more you understand.

skipthesong, I'm glad we have someone here that has first hand experience. How big would you say the biggest pieces of the rubble was, when they were being transferred to the barges? How many floors fo the building was still standing?

I hope ppl wouldn't see this as pushing one's views to others. If you study about one subject for years and years, wouldn't it make you more knowledgeable than someone who didn't? Wouldnt' that knowledge make your views more respectable than others? If it's educated views against uneducated views, which side draws more respect? People like me, who are amazed by dolphins capabilities, their ability to help us in many ways, can't bring themselves to accept that they can be slaughtered. By a country full of kind, civil people.

If sone one can explain, how could the buildings fall in free fall speeds, please do. Because noone else can. Both buildings came down under 9 seconds!!
Please read previous comments. Dilbert said the only reason for #7 building to come down was to destroy evidence. It was the command center for operations.

Suprtlib,
Read your words, "implode straight down", how can you explain this in physics? What other building in human history has imploded stratight down? There was a scyscraper burned in Spain for some 10 hours and sure enough hadn't fallen. Both buildings were pulverised to dust!! What can explain this other than explosives placed in exact places for weeks in advance. And for your information, there were reports of late night work in those buildings prior to the events.
Check this site for the truth. Many architects and engineers, who did not buy governments official explanation gathered here.

These are knowledgeable people, more than you and I. They have no other motivation than finding the truth.

It doesn't make it wrong, as long as it doesn't involve killing (barbaric slaughtering) the most intelligent animal we share this earth with. I wonder if any of you seen the Cove or any of the videos in Youtube?
It's a shameful practice, even to those who are doing it. They have been hiding, not letting it to be documented. What kinda tradition needs to be hidden? World will be much better place without these brutal killings. Just the fact that studies with dolphins on autistic kids have been given positive results, the fact that some of the kids smiled or talked the first time with presence of dolphins, is enough reason to preserve them. There is still so much we don't know about them, please think twice before supporting this inhumane slaughter.

If anything being destroyed here, it's the lifes of the most intelligent animal on earth. And it's being done in very bruttal way. Those dolphins pass the territorial waters of many country, but are slughtered only in Japan. Shame on anyone calling this inhumane slughter as culture.
