Dilbert14, your views on dolphins and their behaviour are fascinating. But since Mod deletes all our posts that are not explicitly about Taiji or The Cove, I'm afraid we're not able to discuss this issue further. Sad, I would love to know more about your views.

Moderator: We ask all…

Dilbert14,

We're the only animal kill unreasonably.

From the wikipedia article on killer whales (the largest species of the dolphin family): "Although, unlike transient killer whales, resident killer whales have never been observed to eat other marine mammals, they are known to occasionally harass and kill porpoises and seals for…

Dilbert14,

How can you think they deserve respect and randomly slauhter them?

So if I understand you correctly, you believe that some species are worthy of our respect and should not be killed, while others are not worthy and can be killed for food. Right? Please tell me, how do…

There is also a tolerance for silence in communication.

Have to disagree on that one. You have to make a grunt (AKA aizuchi) between each sentence your conversation partner utters. However, anyone who has ever lived with a woman should have already developed an aizuchi autopilot.

Rule 1: Avoid the moving season (March-April)

Rule 2: Negotiate.

Rule 3: Have a Japanese seishain spouse.

Just moved to a 2K the other day. It's really tenant's market out there now. Negotiated away the key money. Didn't pay rent from we took it until we moved in (1 month).…

Brunobear, do you think you are doing the anti-whaling cause any favor by referring to Japanese as unenlightened warmongers that need to be like westerners?

Brunobear,

Uncommon sense says that if the rest of the world decided to eat whale meat in preference to farmed animal meat, then whales would not last more than a few years.

False dilemma.

The fact is though, that the rest of the world just doesn't want to eat them,…

imacat,

I've been whale watching in Japan

Or to use your normal lingo, you sailed with a Victorian age whale watching vessel into a pristine environment, enforcing your whale watching culture on the Kingdom of Neptune.

Timorborder:

Would this have anything to do with the fact that Japan was recently caught red-handed for falsifying its catches of South Bluefin Tuna?

No, it would have absolutely nothing to to with that, since this report is about Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, and the overfishing of it conducted by Mediterranean…

Focus on giving the kids fundamental skills, knowledge and understanding. IT is just a tool, not a goal in itself. You want kids with good understanding of mathematics, rather kids that are good with Excel. Excel is a tool, math is fundamental knowledge. It's not that I think IT in…
