    spudman, Please see the following regarding Maori people's views on whaling:

    http://www.asyura.com/0601/ishihara10/msg/195.html

    New Zealand is known as an anti-whaling nation at the International Whaling Commission. Maori do not support this view. Maori have on numerous occasions supported the sustainable utilization of whales by other indigenous peoples and coastal communities. In November 2000, Maori invited and hosted the General Assembly of the World Council of Whalers that met in Nelson, New Zealand.

    Also, please note Iceland is being threatened economically now because they catch whales even off their own coast line. Some people pretend that if Japan would do the same, they would not be harrassed by the crazy foreigners so much. This is a ruse, as we see in Iceland's case.

    Congratulations Iceland, although their catch seems very low. I hope Japan will soon allow imports from Iceland so we here too may also enjoy their products.

    For Japanese, many TV programs have subtitles when people are speaking in foreign languages. Japanese people are used to this.

    In the English speaking nations, most TV is already in English.

    This is a case of what people are familiar with and used to.

    Posted in: Why do moviegoers in English-speaking countries tend to avoid foreign movies with subtitles, while in Japan, for example, it's just the opposite?
