    Default That's Gratitude for you.

    The Laws of Irony
    In February, two anti-whaling activists (one from Australia, one from Los Angeles), intending to attack a Japanese whaling ship near Antarctica with a bottle of acid and a smoke bomb, got lost in the fog in their small dinghy and were rescued with the help of several boats, including the whaler. However, as soon as the activists were safe, one thanked the Japanese crew but said, "I guess we're back on schedule, and we'll be pursuing you again." Shortly after that, the activists approached the whaler and tossed the acid onto the deck, injuring two crew members. [Philadelphia Inquirer-AP, 2-11-07]

    Hmmmmm, what pisses me of more, militant biojugend or whalers, tough one. Can't we just sink them both?

    I agree with Fragony!

    Which is a shock.

    Also:

    Thats easy, just tell the French you are going to sink them and they'll cooperate and sink themselves. The whalers are just trying to make a living so leave them alone. The biojugend are just haters of mankind, so they'll eventually look in the mirror and sink themselves as well.

    I think they get a lot of unfair criticism, if they over-fish Whales they'l bring their own downfall anyway...

    i dont much like animal activists - they take away from a lot of the good work that the majority of good animal rights people do...

    as for the French and boat sinking.... let's not go there....

    Let's not flatter ourselves, shall we? Frenchmen don't know how to sink ships, they plant bombs at low tide and pray that the fuses are waterproof.

    I still wonder what those two imbeciles though they were doing when they bombed that ship in Auckland harbour. The French Defense minister had to resign, blondie spent two years in the clink and France had to pay $7 million in compensation which was used to finance a brand spanking new Rainbow Warrior. Mission accomplie!

    Hmmmm...
    A-ha! I knew it, Watson! This is what's been eating at me for the last few days: even though he denies his involvement in this business, I have reasons to believe he is not as innocent as he tries to appear... after all, his name IS Fisherking...
