    cleoFeb. 14, 2012 - 08:42AM JST The 'hunt' aka commercial whaling has been no-go for over a quarter of a century. Whalers who after all this time >still haven't realised they're in a dead industry, and especially those who trained after 1986, are probably far too >dumb to be trained for anything else.

    I would hardl;y consider anyone simply working a high risk job to make a living a feed their family to be "dumb". At least nowhere near as much as people who who value animal life more than human.

    "have you ever been detained at any international airport because you disagreed with the definitions being used by the local immigration and law enforcement authorrties?"

    \Lotts of people have, including Cat Stevens.

    And did they ever win? Good why don' you try that line of defense next time you find yourself on the defendants side of a criminal charge and see how far that gets you..

    FBI (the people who hounded John Lennon for being 'anti-war', remember) definitions are a joke.

    No the FBI are not a joke. Most law enforcement agencies on a national level are not a joke. Most of us outgrew this kind of attitude.

    Good why don' you try that line of defense next time you find yourself on the derfendants side opf acriminal charge.

    So according to China, Proview China is not bound by a 2009 agreement under which Proview Taipei sold theipad trademark to Apple 2009. So how can China continue claiming that Taiwan is a "part" of China? No country loves to mix politics with business like China. Let the world be forewarned.

    StopKillingWhalesAndDolphinsFeb. 13, 2012 - 07:32AM JST Killing whales is not civilised, neither is throwing butyric acid. Both sides are wrong but Japan will have to stop >killing whales before this shameful misery will

    I think you are very wrong. Killing whales is no more or less civilized gthan killing any other animal. And Japan, will stop only if an agreement is reached at the IWC. The efforts by the IWC to accomplish this were desoroyed by Australia's unwillingness to negotiate, something that the United States and New Zealand were willing to do. Publicity ahd oney seeking eco-terrorists acts of violence simply harden Japan's position and work against the efforts of organizations like Greenpeace.

    japan_cynicFeb. 13, 2012 - 10:23AM JST OssanAmerica, you can call a duck a pig if you want, it's still a duck. The FBI can try to redefine any word it wants for >political purposes, but it doesn't make it right, or acceptable to me. Have you read any Orwell?

    Have you ever been detained at any international airport because you disagreed with the definitions being used by the local immigration and law enforcement authorrties?

    smithinjapanFeb. 13, 2012 - 02:27PM JST Sorry, my friend, but pointing out the fact that under your FBI definition the whalers could also be deemed 'eco->terrorists' is not 'irrelevant' any more than your saying they are eco-terrorists is irrelevant. We all know the >terms 'terrorist' and 'eco-terrorist' have been used and abused to the point that some governments will simply label >anyone who disagrees with them as such. Same with how GWB destroyed the meaning of the words 'democracy' >and 'freedom'.

    Sorryn my friend but I can not ber held responsible for anyone's lacl of education, reading comprehension or direct experiemnce with law enforcement agencies and judicial systems. Your comment that the Federal Bureau of Investigation'sa definition of eco-terrrism is "irrelevant" takes the cake.

    As to the pic of the day, I love the euphemism employed here: "In this photo released by the Institute of Cetacean >Research of Japan, a Sea Shepherd activist aboard a small boat throws a butyric acid-containing glass bottle..." A much better explanation of the pic would be: "Pro-whalers release a picture of SS throwing some rotten butter". >But hey, gotta put some lip-stick on that pig, eh?

    Going back to education, the facts that the eco-terrorists are throwing "butyric acid in a glass bottle" and "butryric acid is found IN ROTTEN BUTTER" does not equal "Butric acid is rotten butter".

    DisillusionedFeb. 13, 2012 - 11:18AM JST OssanAmerica - "The FBI defines eco-terrorism as the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature >against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political >reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."> Are the Japanese whalers innocent victims? Really?

    Yes really, I'm afraid they are, as much as the anti-whaling crowd would like to believe otherwise. It is clear that they are conducting research whaling as sanctioned by Article VIII of the IWC Regulations, which permits them to take whales in "sanctuaries" and REQUIRES them to to consume the whales taken. It is also clear that the waters where they are conducting acvtivities are NOT AUSTRALIAN TERRITORIAL WATERS, iotherwise theywould have been stopped and escported out years ago. If you want to substantiate your position that they "are not innocent" you will, like everyone else, have to wait for the outcome of Australia's ICJ action. Until then, the whalers are most certainly "innocent" of breaking any agreements, treaties or laws, Hence, Sea Shephers are eco-terrorists.,

    tkoind2Feb. 13, 2012 - 09:28AM JST It is incomprehensible that an educated person with knowledge of the English language could rationalize the use of >the word "terrorist" when talking about anyone on either side of this conflict. Words like "protester", "activist" or >even "criminal" could be easily applied, and yet the word "terrorist" is trotted out with foolish zeal.

    The term "terrorist" as in "blow up an airplane" and "eco-terrorist" are two completely different things. The contuinuous posting of "no they aren'nt terrorits" arguments is both irrelevant and misguided.

    "The FBI defines eco-terrorism as the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature."

    "Since 1977, when disaffected members of the ecological preservation group Greenpeace formed the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and attacked commercial fishing operations by cutting drift nets, acts of "eco-terrorism" have occurred around the globe. "

    I cant stop laughing. This is an example of how "some" Conservation groups have corrupted what is basically a noble cause into a PR show. Are the contributiors to PETA aware of how many attorney hours were paid for to contsruct and file this absurd "suit"? A suit that wil l will become a dictonary example of the world frivolous.

    Now that I have stopped laughing, I hope every contributor to Ingrid's money making cult appreciates how their well intended funds are wasted on silly publicity stuints like this. Animal do not have "rights". Since the animals themselves have no rights you can't bring an action on behalf of one. At least not seriously. As soon as the Orcas submit ther affidavits and appear in court to present their swoen testimony I;ll eat my words. As flor the nutbags who think this is somehow sane I am tempted to entice PETA to bring an abuse charge against dog owers who refuse to let their pets eat meat.

    No, but there's rule that says Arson is illegal. In Japan, South Korea and China and everywhere else on this planet.

    Japan has twice tried to settle this dispute at the ICJ. South Korea has refused twice. Yet they get bent out of shape over issues like this. If they acted like adults and settled it in court they wouldn't have to get bent out of shape.

    Arson is a serious crime in any country that can cause death and injury to others even unintentionally and no excuse justfies it.

    Can't believe this thread is still going on. One of the "injured" SS eco-terrorists is from my home state. If you want to see what we think of these SS clowns in the U.S. see the comments to the story.

    ObviousDemonJan. 22, 2012 - 08:01AM JST Aus Media are also reporting Tear Gas being fired, but it's not clear who is Tear Gassing who......

    No they are quoting WAtson saying that. But he's been using that line since 1984 accusing the Faroes poilice of using tear gas, and last season using a photo of the Japanese whalers testing onboard fire extinguishers as proof that they were using "tear gas guns", you can rest assured it's Watson's typical total nonsense. Tear gas can't be used on ships at sea unless you want to tear gas yourself in the process.
