Whale Wars new season
 
Who has been following it?? I love how they were going to put a kid with no boating experince in the little boat to go fight the Japs.....I am sure if they did get him in the water that would have gone over real well.....:)

Good cause. Questionable methods.

Exactly! It's like the wacko right to lifers who bomb abortion clinics! Not the most sympathetic way to gain support!
I am not really a right to life guy, I am like Switzerland on that issue, just an example!:party-smiley-004:

These people are complete IDIOTS... I am surprised no one has been killed yet. Good cause but come on use some common sense. Great entertainment, I'm waiting for the episode when the Addy Gail gets smashed.

On another note I think they need to replace the RIBS with some 28 Apaches:party-smiley-004:

Pete Bethune was in the Ady Gil when the f'n Japs ran over it. I can't believe he put himself and his crew in such danger. :mad: He had no weapons on board, what was he thinking???

as much as i admire the cause, they ran in to the Japanese boat, watch the thrust from the sponsons.

All for the whales, but why aren't they charged as pirates?

Yes i see that. A terrible decision that could have gotten all aboard killed. Well like Watson said, "people have to risk their life to protect the whales". Looks like Bethune took him seriously. :rolleyes:

Ange 06-21-2010 08:01 PM

I can't even watch this show. I completely agree that this is a worthwhile cause. I have LOTS of issues with the way these people go about it. They are a bit wacko. Which is probably an understatement, but you get the idea. :D

I guess the cross bow and arrows don't count as weapons? What about the cannon they have been showing on this weeks preview??? That doesn't count as a weapon:party-smiley-004::coolcowboy:

You guys are missing the point.

They want donations and will do any crazy azz, aluminum chewing, steel beenie wearing in a thunderstorm stunt to get them.

Including putting wide eyed misguided people in arms way. Exactlly like muslim terrorists do.

Don't think there cause is protecting whales by any means.

phragle 06-21-2010 10:48 PM

Im just not going to say what I was going to say... but they are about headlines, getting somebody killed to save the whales is probably what the jackass considers excellent press and a way to draw support.

I was hoping the episode where the Ady Gill gets run over would have been on but I think it's next week...

I'm all for doing things constructive to actually achieve some level of success when it comes to the environment.

But the way these tools go about it I'm really surprised the Jap's haven't sunk more of their boats yet... When they do there won't be the outcry for these environmental wacko martyr's that they are looking for...

That's the one I saw. Upon a second viewing it looks pretty definitive; the Jap ship changed course to intercept the Ady Gil. If it was observing International rules it would have continued its starboard turn and missed the Gil, as the Gil was the stand-on vessel. But they made ANOTHER course correction to port in order to intercept the Gil.

Watch the video put up by 502ss. What do you think of that??

fountain4play 06-21-2010 11:21 PM

Ya know in the real world it really doesn't matter whether or not the Jap boat turned into the Ady Gill or not.

They could claim that these eco-terrorists were trying to harm there vessel which seems to be the plan by the anti-whalers on every episode that I've watched and were justifiable in their actions...

Either way you don't play chicken with a train when your in a Yugo or things like this are bound to happen....

I noticed the high powered laser they were attempting to shine into the eyes of the japanese crew, you know if you shine a low power laser at a plane at 15,000 feet you go to feceral prison right.................

I see two boat captains that believe in what they are doing to the point of stupidity, neither was going to back down, the smaller craft lost, even thought the whaling ship turned, the ady gil went forward... I still stand by my statement... :)

Yeah, just a word or warning to the idiot driving the plastic boat, reverse would have been the correct gear to move away from the ship. I have no idea whether the Jap ship would have hit the boat or not if he just stayed still, but it appears he was attempting full forward to try and turn away. Bad move since it took him right under the ship. Plus if you are in a light, fast, maneuverable craft and surrounded by huge lumbering iron ships, you do not sit still for anything, period. Ask the penguin.....

Sea Shepard needs a diesel electric sub with some torpedos, problem solved.

There are a couple of countries up in northern europe that still hunt as well, introduce them to mr. torpedo.

Too Stroked 06-22-2010 10:14 AM

I've stumbled onto this show several times. Two things turn my stomach. First, there's the killing of the whales. Then there's the complete lack of even basic seamanship skills by the Sea Shepards. I've used this phrase many times for many different situations and I'll use it again here: "They didn't get what they deserved, but they got exactly what they asked for."

Let's not forget that the sea Shepard captain is X green peace! I am sure we have all seen video of their protests:eek:

Cash Bar 06-22-2010 09:16 PM

Give the Japs some .50 cals.

I think all of the wackos, PETA, Greenpeace, Peace-niks, anti-fur(especially) should be fair game.

Question: If NY had a Castle Doctrine Law and some wacko bitcch tried to throw paint on my Fur, could I shoot her dead? I mean, it could have been acid right?
