Quote:Perhaps one should also, tell that to the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese are not pirates and are not breaking any laws. Not having a clue what the law actually is does not prove the Japs are breaking it.
Quote:Freediver - when did Paul Watson try to kill people?
Every time he tried to sink steel hulled whaling boats in antarctic waters. Every time he put his own pawns in the path of whaling ships. He probably has wet dreams about the publicity he would get if one of the Sea Shepherd idiots died.
Quote:My understanding is that the IWC has asked Japan to demonstrate that their whale research provides critical information, and that non-lethal research techniques are not able to provide the same information. Despite numerous requests Japan has failed to provide this information.
Failing to satisfactorily answer a question from the IWC is not a crime. The Japs are not breaking any laws. The IWC chooses not to close the loophole that allows the Japs to continue whaling legally. They choose not to outlaw all the legal whaling done by other non-slanty-eyed nations that no-one seems to notice. Paul Watson cannot get what he wants legally, so he tries to kill people instead, and the idiots are tripping over each other to make excuses for him.
