I have had the pleasure of working on a fishing boat in the atlantic during the winter. Even on good days there is a real pucker factor. I cant immagine what its like to be on a ship and ram another ship.
I think the the international community threw the japs a bone under the table so they would be able to harvest some whales. Because sea food is a key part of their diet.
I like to look at situation like this. Who is less wrong....

 

I saw The Perfect Storm.. (close enough for me)

Me neither..

Gotta be something like that..

I figure if no one but the whale wars guys and gals is doing anything about... its not that wrong.. and they didnt do anything about the Japanese sinking that carbon fiber boat.. ran it over from what I saw...






I still think if you outfitted the Japanese with Jet Skis, and paint ball guns... it would make for great tv..

 

Don't care for the Japanese and what they are doing or the Whale Wars group. My whole feeling is that one of these days one of his young dumb kid types is going to get killed. I don't think the "captain" would care one bit from what I've seen. He just wants the publicity. Just my own .02 worth.
