Maybe you'll become part of seafaring folklore, he who urinates on a boat, the boat shall then be ultimately doomedKing_County_Downy wrote:
I peed on the side of their boat once when it was parked in Friday Harbor.
Cool story, right? Well that's all I have at this time.

No. They are terrorists. Their entire mission is designed to scare the whalers into submission and make them stop whaling. How do they try to accomplish this? By threatening the lives of the whaling ships crews by ramming their ships or disabling them. If that's not at the very least attempted murder I don't know what is.Cybargs wrote:

Terrorists. They're a menace on the high seas and the captain should've had his license revoked and been imprisoned years ago. Whether you disagree with the whaling is irrelevant. He is putting human lives in danger. Not only his own crew, but the crews on those whaling ships. You do NOT fuck around with this shit, especially not in the frigid waters of the Antarctic where you will be able to survive a maximum of five minutes in the water.
I hope the dude gets boarded by Chinese pirates one day. Make him kneel and place a bullet in the back of his skull.
Have they actually disabled a ship? I have only seen a few shows, but Idon't recall them actually doing any damage.JohnG@lt wrote:

If there was a bus full of hunters driving down the road and someone purposely rammed them, forcing the bus to go off the side of a cliff and killing everyone aboard, would you cheer the person or condemn them as a mass murderer?

If you are going to call them terrorists, you would have to call every protester that every threw a rock a terrorist, as such I think this dilutes the term too much. How about we just leave that word for those that insist on blowing up innocent people in markets and planes.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about that. Having spoken to a past member of a ship which did similar things to this, I got the feeling it was a big publicity excercise.JohnG@lt wrote:

Semantics. They are still a danger on the high seas and should be in jail. Have they succeeded in disabling a ship? No. But they've sure tried very hard.lowing wrote:

I am not saying you are wrong. I just don't see the need to step them up to terrorist status. Much like Green Peace, I can't stand the fuckers, but they are not terrorists in the context of the accepted terminology today.JohnG@lt wrote:

Why am I so vehement? I go to Maritime College, a school that trains future 3rd Mates and 3rd Assistant Engineers (officers on ships).

Neh, no worries. I think these groups have their hearts in the right place but their methods are way outta whack, but to call them terrorists just seems to take away from the truly fanatical destructive, car bombing fools that we have all grown to know and love.JohnG@lt wrote:

I fail to see a difference between a car bomber and someone willfully trying to sink a ship. A ship sinking in the Antarctic would mean certain death. Are the ecoterrorists going to drop a boat and rescue them? That would go over well once they were aboard.lowing wrote:

I don't think they are trying to sink a ship. For if they were trying they would have done it. They certainly have been close enough to do harm but never have. They are protesters nothing more.JohnG@lt wrote:

If anyone is curious... the high pitched siren and the water cannon are a merchant ships standard defense against... pirates.ghettoperson wrote:
I don't think they're terrorists, but they are a bunch of militant hippy douchebags that should be shot. I enjoyed watching the video of their boat getting crushed. Fucktards. They put themselves in dangerous situations in order to get some media attention and make it look like the evil Japanese whalers attack them. I think the Japanese should keep a few bean-bag shotguns on board, and give them the good news if they get too close.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of whaling, especially under such dubious grounds, but I can't stand these self-righteous hippy fucks who believe they have the right to go around trying to sink ships and generally endanger innocent people.

I've watched the entire season and disagree with you. If those fuckers had means to sink a ship, they would.lowing wrote:
