hobbsy70:
It is the responsibility of EACH vessels captian to take measures to avoid collision. The AG purposely set up the collision scenario. There is also pleant of footage of the Bob Barker ramming a japanese whaler from the port side coming from aft of the vessel. If you are going to use maritime rules of the road for your case it would be much better if you had a record of obeying them yourself.

According to Rueters Iceland exported about 1500 tons of whale meat (mainly to Japan) in 2009. Soooooo. there appears to be a market.

If he's looking for PR he should have done a little more research himself into Japanese law and he;s right under them.
He does not have the right to a lawyer present during questioning and the police rarely release statements by the accused.
He will not have a big, sympethetic audience at the trial as only about 100 spectators are allowed and that is by lottery. The chances of getting his "crowd" in are very slim.
He has a radio with him but the Japanese captain (within his authority) is not allowing him to broadcast.
Just now on the news the Japanese government announed that the vessel will remain in the arctic waters until the end of the season (about one more month) and then return to Japan with the fleet.
Hope he can see the other ships hauling carcuses abord from his cabin.

Majority of Japanese people do not even know that they still hunt whales.
What are you baseing this on?
Nor do they know about how much mercury is in the meat.
Do you? Maybe that's what they are scientifically researching.

“We totally deny this rumor. He has not been arrested,” Zabiullah Mujahid told the AP by telephone
Okay, trot him out and let's have a look at him.

Okay let's assume the Japanese bring him here and there is a big to do about it. What happens if each country boycotts the other? NZ loses a major market for aluminium, cheese and fruits, Japan loses a market for used cars.

@Johnbecker and GJDaileult:
Points well made. May I add that NASCAR initiated "restrictor plate" racing when the cars got too fast for the tracks and after Dale died at Daytona 3 years ago, they made the HANS restraints manditory. So as the sleds and competitors get faster, you have to adjust the tracks to match for safety sake. Too bad it always takes a tragety too point this out.

Japan should be very worried about the number of missed shots against a hapless team.......including several against an empty goal. HK took only two or three ahots the whole game while Japan had more than twenty.

i don't really think she will be the Rupublican candidate in 2012 but she does stir a lot of debate and gets people active in the political process. Maybe look for Newt to make a comeback for 2012. @adaydream: Maybe you should visit Hialeah, Florida. You will meet many American citizens there who don't speak a word of english. Same in some parts of Texas.

What gets me ... on japanese television...is how they exclaim how good the food is before it even passes their lips. And shovelling massive amounts of rediculously hot food in their mouths and trying to say "Oishii" at the same time.
