davidattokyo- "it would most probably be cruel to obtain meat from whales without killing them first". Wow!!! what insight you have, a true expert.
I conclude you are trolling.
Go for it Sea Shepherd, keep up the good work, and disrupt those whalers who are even more disgusting than my tedious father.

Gawd, Once again the facist state of Israel terrorises it's neighbours.
Where is the condemnation America for the death of innocents, using weapons supplied by you to them.
I am appalled that this genocide of the past 40 years has been allowed to continue, and many idiots in America actually believe Israel to be the "good guys"!
Israel stop the terror attacks!!!!

Very well said Mike. Anyone who has witnessed a video of these brutal 30 minute killings would condemn whaling, that is if they had any decency in my opinion.
Gawd, Japan is in recession and people are boycotting Japanese goods albeit on i small scale i grant you, but this could increase. Japan is destroying itself with this wicked practice.
Sea Shepherd is actually doing Japan and the world a favour by doing their best to stop the these magnificent animals being tortured to death.
I applaud those on Sea Shepherd and their bravery, and i deplore whalers and all those callous bleeders who support them.

How shallow are the American media. With the world in chaos and thousands dying monthly due to US foreign policies, the talk is about a topless man who isn't even president yet.

West Ham would have to buy bad to drop 2 divisions in 1 season.
No J League club could compete at English Championship level , let alone any higher level. The Japanese level is very poor compared to Europe.

I find the adulation of this football club rather more revolting than even my father and his disgusting habits.
As a Shepherds Bush resident i obviously support QPR, even though i see many more people wearing Man Utd and LIverpool tops around here than QPR ones, it disgusts me.
You support a team for loyalty not for what they win,. People like BarryHObarmy are destroying football. We have many decent clubs with grounds half full, becaus ethey are all watching the big 4 on Sky.
GIve the greedy players a maximum salary to make things fairer like the old days.
Man Utd are winners in capitilism, and i think recent world events have shown capitilism fails the majority, oh yes.
I hope Man Utd lose they are only in Japan for the money nothing more nothing less.

America should disarm and stop killing tens of thousands of innocents year after year.
Gawd, Shinseki wanted to use more soldiers than warmonger Rumsfeld. How evil is that?
America stay at home and send your troops home and stop the massacres.

WilliB- Oh yes Israel is the only country with nukes in Mid East and steals its neighbours land daily. Militant thugs have a lot in common with them.Gawd, I would consider the militants in Pakistan less of a threat to world peace though.
The Muslims have suffered for decades.

Oh yes, these Japanese thugs should be monitered at all times. The environmental damage they cause travelling so far is immense, and the whales are tainted with toxins.
I hope pressure from moral countries will stop this barbaric practice, dirty, dirty, dirty.

taiko666- Couldn't agree with you more. Oh yes, japanese technology is over rated. japanese phones are rarely seen outside of japan, due to poor quality.
Nokia and other foreign firms face obstacles at every turn, gawd, Japanese phones are rubbish compared to froeign one.

Oh Gawd, not more trouble between these two. Isn't it three wars already since partition? Bleeding heck, sort it out and be good neighbours, why kill and spread hate. This could cause a nuclear strike, it could be the most serious incident since WWII.

uperjer- Gawd, How gratefull will one be, when one is seriously ill or dying becuse of the massive amounts of toxins consumed from eating this "delicious food source"? The imports show Japans real intentions. A nation not to be trusted by the rest of the world. Japan you are digging your own grave, oh yes, just wait and see.

If Nokia were to agree to "share" their technology with Japanese firms they would not be leaving.
BTW, anyone consider the low success worldwide of japanese phones if they are so "superior" in every way?

Mr Trotter is in fact correct in his analysis. Japan promots products daily through newspapers and Tv, thsi will invariably be japanese products.
Gawd, i remember the media, everyone one of which said Costco was doomed to fail as Japanese do not like being members of stores.
Nokia has to leave, but some companies can ride the storm of crticism. If Nokia, Samsung, LG and many beers for example are good enough to be world beaters, no1 worldwide, then why do so many fail in Japan?
Nokia pulled out due to bad press, it must get on their nerves, only some like Microsoft (XBOX360) will perserver. Don't kid yourself foreign products have the same playing field as Japanese.
