  The more illegal and stupid actions taken by SS leads to more Japanese public being more neutral (rather than questioning it) or even in support for whaling...

  Yahoo Japan comment boards started lighting up stating that SS ships should be sunk right after the media started reporting about SS interference.

  Yushin Maru should equip themselves with more powerful water cannons with longer range when they return to Japan to better repel attempted boardings and illegal navigation interference by rogue zodiacs.

  Either way, to answer the question of

  If SSCS are "eco-terrorists", then why haven't they been charged and arrested with any crimes?,

  The fact is that they have been arrested (yes), charged (yes) and sentenced (yes) with crimes.

  Thus endeth that story....

  I never singled out Paul Watson. Thus, "Sea Shepard members"...

  I believe Paul Watson has an outstanding arrest warrant in Japan. Also, he's been sentenced in Norway for destruction of property.

  I also believe that members of the Sea Shepard (other than Paul Watson) have been arrested and charged in Norway, Canada and Japan. If I also recall, it was a guilty ruling against Sea Shepard that resulted in the Canadian government forfeiture of the Farley Mowat?

  If SSCS are "eco-terrorists", then why haven't they been charged and arrested with any crimes?

  I thought that Sea Shepard members have been arrested, charged or considered persona non grata in Canada, Japan (remember Pete Bethune?), Norway, Iceland, Faroe Islands and other countries...

  Lobbying peacefully = activism. Scuttling ships/destroying property/placing lives at risk = terrorism

  Operations have included scuttling and disabling whaling vessels at harbor, intervening in Canadian and Namibian seal hunts, shining laser light into the eyes of whalers, throwing bottles of foul-smelling butyric acid onto vessels at sea, boarding of whaling vessels while at sea, and seizure and destruction of drift nets at sea. The American, Canadian, and Japanese governments, as well as the Institute of Cetacean Research of Japan, have referred to them as terrorists.

  Sounds like Eco-Terrorism to me.

  Just because you have law enforcement officials on board a non coast guard registered sea vessel, it doens't mean that civilian vessel is now a military vessel...

  All those factories are being built in the South. Give me a break!

  Why ruin a good project by locating where the UAW still has a foothold?

  It is getting tiring seeing that little girl all over the tube.

  Are you mistaking Miyu-chan (from Kaseifu no Mita) with Mana-chan (from Marumo no Okite)?

  I heard Miyu-chan's older brother and sister are actually pretty good up-and-coming figure skaters....
