Yuriotani, I know you have been robbing conveience stores throughout the country because you have not announced that you haven't. Do you understand the irrationality of your logic? Or lack thereof?
There is no need for any excuse, there is no confirmation that they received any call, and there is no confirmation that they weren't advised by AMSA that a vessel closest to the location was on it's way. The fact is that the Steve Irwin happened to be the closest vessel anyway.
A pointless question since we have no way of knowing if they received it and nobody apart from you seems to care. Hence what they would do with it is also a pointless question.
It;s great that you are very interested in aircraft, but this has little to do with that subject. Since we have no way of knowing whether they received any distress call it;s silly to say they missed out on anything.

Yuriotani, Unless you are onsight and onboard the vessels in question, you being "sure they received it" is utter and complete nonsense bordering on the psychotic. Can you tell us why you are attenmping to make an issue out of something that nobody, not even SSCI, are making an issue out of?

Cleo that's to be expected from the highly biased Australian "news" source. Notice that it is not mentioned on anyu other news sources. And you confirmed what I said, that even SSCI isn't making any claims that the Japanese research whalers didn't respond. Watson himself DIDN'T WANT THEM TO, per your own quote. How do you kinow what other ships in the area do or don't know? Are you somehow privy to their comminucation logs and bulletins received from AMSA? A ship does not need to answer a call to find out if abnother vessel is closer and on it;s way.

Yuriotani, there is no issue here. The BB has been secured and is under tow to Fremantle. Assistance was provided by the nearest vessel, the Steve Irwin. Thebsituatuion was under control anmd een the AMSA did not have to respond. No one, not even SSCS is making any claims about the Japanese research whalers not responding. Except you., Best give it a rest.

It is customary for the nearest vessel to priovide assistance for obvious reasons
Why ask such a pointlessly hypothetical question? The rule of navigation apply to all ships, period.

What I find ridiculous, is the fact that there are a large number of people who are still homeless and/or jobless, and money that could be used to help them or people who fish more locally is being spent on contributions by people to a criminal eco-terrorist organization run by an attention hungry millionaire liar whom even Greenpeace won't go near. SSCS supporters are more sheep than anti-whaling.

What are you trying to say? Mono Hull craft (as opposed to catamarans, multi hulls) are not "illegal" anywhere. Single hulls (for large vessels) are prohibited in many places and double hulls (2 layers) are a requirement.

No it wouldn't.. The research whaling vessels are acting under and in compliance with IWC regulation Article VIII in international waters. The JCG are an internatiomally recognized maritime law enforcement agency with the authority and jurisdiction to enforce Japanese law onboard any Japanese flagged vessel. SSCI on the other hand are an known eco-terrorist organization conducting acts of viloence on the high seas with no lawenforcement powers, authority or jurisdiction from any nation or internationally recognized organization. Hope this helps.

Great example smith, It makes no sense whatsoever. Offering assistance and Rejecting Assistance are completely different, Furthermolre offering assistance at sea is a requirement under Marirtime laws and regulatuions, with no relation to "heart" anyway.

This actually begs two questions-
1) What insurance company is providing Hull&Machinery and Protection&Indemnity Insurance to a fleet of ships whose openly declared intent is to ram other ships? If they are actually insured an enormnous amount of their collected donations must be going to insurance coverage.
2) If they are not insured, or self-insured how are they able to pass the Port State Control inspections when they are in Australian ports?

I think you are confuising Single-hull for large vessels with the term "mono hull".

Yes it "may". But the Japanese research whaling fleet are comprised of steel ships suited for the purpose and sea conditions. Whereas, while ships like the Steve Irwin are seaworthy, stupid flashy attention grabbing high speed idiotically named "racing boats" that have no business being used in such waters and conditions are not. Watson is putting master and crew at unecessary risk by using such vessels just for attention and the TV camera.

If you check out various news sources you will see that donations have nothing to do with this. Funding is comming ot of Japanse taxpayers pockets, although the anti-whaling action has worked hard to spread this fallacy.

Why cleo? You made it clear that SSCI's DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY was not a crime and no big deal.

Where did you dig up this nonsense? If the reserch whaling were being conducted within Australia's EEZ they would have been stopped and escrorted out of the EEZ by the Australian Maritime authorities. The Research Whaling is being done in International Waters and therefore the Australians can not do anything about it.

Yuriotani, this isn't about whales. It's about whether anyone or group has the right to take the law into their own hands. There are plenty of people against whaling who do not support Sea Shepherd and their criminal. activities. Even Greenpeace who are obviously anti-whaling does not support Sea Shepherd. Rooting for Sea Shepherd does not show the world that one is anti-whaling, rather it shows that one has no respect for law and order, or civilized means of resolving problems.

Nice job twisting it around. My question was whether it is OK with you for ME to blow up your car, because I personally believe you are committing a crime, even though what you are doing is legal and hence it can not be stopped through legal means and I have absolutely no authority or jurisdiction to enforce any laws anyway.

Do you actually swallow every liie that SSCI dishes out? Both the Australian and New Zealnd maritime authorities reports did not reach that conclusion. I bet you believe Watson was "shot" too right? As for "nothing but monetary damages" I suppose if I blew up your car while it was parked because I personally don't like what your doing it would be perfectly ok?

Why should it bother you? It has absolutely no bearing on the anti-whaling countries or on any of the foreign people and organizations that have made donations. Again I have to repeat whether the research whaling is "clearly commercial" is something that can not be determinbed based on current facts and will require an ICJ ruling. So constabnrly repeating "wishful thinking" at best and "an outright fallacy" at worst when no definitive evidence exists to support your position is just plain silly.
This is an example of how the domestic tax money in Japan being earmarked for this purpose has been deliberately confused with the overseas donations. The Japanese research whaling, as was the commercial whaling prior to 1982, is part of Japan's fisheries. A great portion of which was affected by the Tohoku disaster. If SSCI didn't conduct eco-terrorist activities there would be no need for the funds to go to additional security to protect life and propertyy, Ask yourself what is Greenpeace doing that causes money to be spent unnecessarily, as you wold put it? A few countries, making claims over international waters that the rest of the world doesn't recognize, trying to force Japan to stop a legal activity through villification and demonization hardly reflects any "boneheaded" approach on the part of Japan. They have answered Australias absurd ICJ complaint as would anyone in the legal right. Your comment, suggesting that the whakling issuie is the same as all other international affairs Jap[anm is engaged in reflects your biased view so frequently evident in the anti-whaklingcommunity that supports criminal activity.

tkoind, yes really.
"Though self-named a “Conservation Society,” Sea Shepherd is a violent organization. Its purpose is to ram and sink ships. Earth Warrior author David Morris details one such voyage in search of driftnetters. Even in this gushing account, Morris notes, “The gunfire that accompanied our attack on the Japanese ships was not defensive.” So it’s no surprise that Sea Shepherd’s expeditions have served as a fitting training ground for other animal-rights militants. Rodney Coronado has long been involved with criminal groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which the FBI has identified as the country’s most dangerous domestic terrorist threat, and the special-interest ALF subset known as SHAC. He was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for the 1992 arson of a Michigan State University research laboratory. He admitted to at least six other arsons in a November 30, 2002 speech. In January 2003, he demonstrated to a group gathered at American University the “correct” way to build a firebomb out of household materials. And Paul Watson gave him his start. Coronado joined SSCS immediately after graduating from high school in 1984. Two years later, he proposed a plan to covertly attack Iceland’s whaling industry. He and David Howitt, a British bicycle mechanic, destroyed a whale-processing facility there, and sank two of the Icelandic whaling fleet’s four ships. Watson supported the plan and SSCS took responsibility for the destruction. In the mid-’90s, Coronado again wanted to join a SSCS expedition. But he was wanted for questioning by the FBI and Watson said no. Watson was regretful, however, calling him “an excellent crew member and the best damn activist I ever had.” These words give the lie to Watson’s claim that “we have absolutely no links with the so-called Animal Liberation Front.”
