If laws in Japan are not broken, then butt out, I say.
Sheesh, how many models on our glossy magazines, billboards, etc, are this age?
Pontificating on an anonymous discussion board, in English, is hardly going to change the situation.
I'm a guest in this country; when in Rome...

Only if he has a joint in his possession. Bashing someone to death, on the other hand, is OK.

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm off to Hokkaido again this summer to go camping. Really good weed grows really wild, and not a cop for miles...

Ah yes, a stern warning for fist-pumping by a foreigner, dismissal for carrying a loose joint for another foreigner. But bashing some poor blighter to death, by a couple of Japanese - hey, look out the window...

Great - they could start by putting the JR map at the station in Japanese AND English

isthistheend - yes, and with DNA testing we can prove it. By the way, the guardians of all things royal will not allow testing on the ancestral bones. Maybe there are some inconvenient truths to hide!

Aussieooo - Thanks for your input, mate. It's great news about Australia's non-lethal research plans. It will help the diplomatic efforts. Well, it would if the Japanese public heard about it! Somehow, I think the tax-payer funded pro-whaling lobby will play this way, way down.
Don't be discouraged when bloggers "spit the dummy" and refuse to talk any more. It happens whenever you get him on the ropes. It happened to cooeecobber yesterday, too!
Hey moderator, I was enjoying the exchange between david and aussie!

VOR - If I treat the subject of global warming as if it matters, and it doesn't matter; then it doesn't matter. If I treat the subject as if it doesn't matter, and it matters; then it matters! Barry Jones, a former science minister, put it as plain as could be. And that's where I'm coming from.

Now this thread has come full circle! Hot air, is just what the Rudd government proposes.

likeitis - Great Idea! Maybe we could hunt whale-eaters! Can't eat whale-eaters; too many toxins! Fertiliser? Nah, that won't work either. Difficult to see what kind of resource they could become!

davidattokyo - That's funny. No, I mean it! What a blast! In the words of John McEnroe, "You cannot be serious!"

pointofview - Yes, and a majority of Japanese don't think much of whaling either. Those that do know about it, are simply horrified at the waste of tax-payers money, and of the international embarrassment it causes Japan.

Yes it could be read the other way. But what is known is that several big US PR spin-doctors who formerly worked in big tobacco, now work in other big companies. Their mission is not to kill the global warming message, because there is too much science around for them to be able to do that. Their job is to sow doubt. That is achievable. Looks like it's working.

All of which can be achieved through non-lethal methods, as any marine biologist not on the whalers payroll will tell you!

kwatt - I just pointed out that they do stop the whalers when they around. They would stop more, if they had the same resources that the Japanese tax-payer funded whalers have. If you think that they are no problem to whalers, then why all the fuss about them? If they are no problem, why not ignore them? Why all the angry blogs about "eco-terrorists"?

Global warming denying is the next PR growth industry. Expect lots of ex-Big tobacco spinsters to be behind the doubters.
