Every time I read this term I just want to go

These whalers calling themselves the "Institute for Cetacean Research" is about the equivalent of McDonalds calling themselves the "Institute for Bovine Research."
S3 Arctic - World's most powerful laser you can legally own - Wicked LasersFor example: one video claims that the Sea Shepherds where using an illegal weapon. I watched the video. It was a green light... I highly doubt the green light is an illegal weapon. Now it may be PART of an illegal weapon... but the green light itself is harmless. Well... as harmless as a light could be. My guess is its part of a targeting system. I agree Sea Shepherds shouldn't be using it... but the green light is not a weapon. The videos make it seem like the green light is something very very bad... because it doesn't explain anything and just hopes whoever is watching the video can't tell the difference between a light and a weapon.
Oh and btw: green light is the most harmless color of light based on the uv spectrum. The most dangerous colors of visible light are orange, yellow, purple and blue. (those are the closest to the end of the spectrum). Of course if the light really was a weapon then it would be invisible to your eyes and you wouldn't even know of it till it was too late... just saying.
Lol,he means Nihonjin "Japanese"...you know.What's a "Nihongen"?
As opposed to catching fish and letting them suffocate as they lie in the nets? Or leaving them attatched to long lines for hours while they struggle for dear life... right...I am a captain of a fishing boat, but I dislike some of the hunting methods of the whaling fleet as much as I dislike the hunting methods of whitecoats (baby seals) in Canada and the treatment of cows and pigs in some of the slaughterhouses in the US.

Now, if you don't mind, I have to fly to the US and go help my brothers in the Gulf and save the endangered turtles in the BP oil spill.
I don't see how painting "SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH" is lying? Maybe the Japanese are studying the sustainability of whaling. How else could you do that by any other means than by taking the whales and see how the stocks replenish? Maybe they have a lot of data already gathered to submit to the IWC to show them that whaling is sustainable.Let's face it, kiddos, these Japanese sailors are blatantly lying to everyone by painting, "SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH" on their ships. That's not what they are using the whales for. They are killing whales, and selling them at market. Now, the Sea Shepherd Conversation Society is actually doing something about it, and all you can say is that they're terrorists? They wouldn't have to if the international community would do something to stop Japan's gross violation of the anti-commercial whaling moratorium.
In other words, cry me a goddamn river. LOL.
^ I remember seeing the footage and at the last moment the Sea Shepard group moved forward as the Japanese whaling boat was coming into their path. Just saying. (and if this was the case, i think they were not trying to damage the Japanese whaling vessel, but rather discredit the Japanese whalers by making it appear that they rammed the activists, thus getting pepple to agree with their side of the argument).
Did you not see the Shonan Maru No. 2 turn towards the Ady Gil? Do you have selective eyesight? Here, watch the video for me. And tell me if that big boat didn't change it's course.
What are they doing there in the first place? Why were they in a position like they were in? What were they doing to provoke an attack like you and others are saying? The point is they should not have been there, b/c what they are doing is illegal. So if they got rammed and lost millions of dollars of equipment, they should of thought about that when they woke up that morning. So no I don't see why he has the right to have a loaded crossbow or why he should be able to bash someones kneecaps in. Those activists are going out looking for trouble and from where I see it the Japanese boats have every right to arm themselves against these idiots, b/c as law states right now , they are not breaking any. So any damages they receive are only due to themselves, they cannot cry innocent.If they weren't intending to hit the big boat, and instead the big boat crashed intentionally into them, I could see why he would bring a loaded crossbow with him. I would to, I'd be pissed off the dude just wrecked my millions of dollars boat the captain of that big boat is lucky he didn't get shot in the knee caps, I would have done it. But I'm sure he brought it to ensure his safety as he attempted to make a civilian arrest, though I would have just called the cops, but then again I'm not an expert on how whatever goes on out there so my opinion doesn't mean much.
What I saw was a big boat turn to run into the small boat, while the small boat shouldn't have been up there or that close, I don't believe it was their intention on getting him, or hitting the bigger boat (because really, I don't know any individual activist that has millions of dollars to throw away). I do believe the smaller boat and it's crew morally deserved it for harassing people, and it happened, can't deny that it happened because I saw three angles, and all three pointed at the same thing.
Though, I respect what you're saying and I'm glad I got you instead of Astroboy lol.
i can also see that if the Ady Gil hadn't of moved forward then the Shonan Maru would have never have hit the Ady Gil.
Coveniently ignoring the fact as to WHY WERE THEY THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?There is only one problem with your argument, Tokis-Phoenix. The Ady Gil's engine was turned off at the time when the Shonan Maru #2 crew decided to be retarded and move way too close to the Ady Gil. If you noticed, the crew of the Ady Gil were on top of the ship.
You mentioned the Shonan Maru #2 being a massive harpoon ship. This is true, and the only reason the Ady Gil moved forward was from the wake of the Shonan Maru #2. They were being pulled closer by the waves. This could have avoided had the Shonan Maru #2 been smart and not decided to try and "scare" the Ady Gil.
