I don't watch it but I know about it. I'm against the eco-terrorists and hope they get sunk again.

Can you imagine the fuss they'd make if someone did the same thing to their boats?

Well this is a tough one.... I like to watch the show and I have done some recerch. It seems he has be going after Illegal whaling ships for decades. If the ships he sank,damaged,and scuttled were illegal I say good for him. I dont even think you can compare him to the eco-***** we have to deal with. While our machines may have a impact on the environment we are not removing a key mammal in the oceans food chain. Irregardless of what we may think of his decisions (smart,dumb, brave,foolish) the dude has *****.

Thanks for your input jgar.

Both claim they have the law on their side..

To me he is a nutcase who seems to wants to die at sea... and take a few young men and women with him..

Never intended for it to be compared to off road use... but what the heck..

Probably wouldn't be a good idea to do that to a ship I was on. In my mind, it's an attack.

It's very rare that I'm not prepared for an attack.

The guy is nutts, no doubt. His actions are very agggressive. There is no way I would want to be on his ship.... Personally I think there are a lot of political reasons why he has never been really stoped. He seems to be able to do what ever he wants with out getting in real trouble for it.

Agreed..

Not enough money in the world to get me out there... Think Id go crab fishing first... and there is no way your getting me on one of those boats either..

I figure its one of those deals where both are right.. depending on how you interpret the rules.
