And what was "Captain" Watson saying about this?

Activist Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society said his boat was chasing the Japanese ship dragging a whale on board when another Japanese boat shot in front of his vessel, causing a collision.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29053775/
Oh yes, it was the Japanese boats fault! Of course! My eyes are lying to me again! Stupid eyes.

The Sea Shepherd news release at the time says the boats "collided" (not "the Steve Irwin rammed the Japanese ship," which would be more accurate and akin to his current language) and that essentially it was the Japanese fault because they were trying to run a "blockade."
http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/news-090206-1.html

Looks to me like the Japanese ship was well ahead of the Steve Irwin...not exactly running a "blockade," which implies it would be the fault of the Japanese.

More lies from Mr. Watson.


Of course the Japanese whaling is a pile of shit lies in itself. Research my ass. It's just too bad Mr. Watson is such a damned liar himself.

7. A rant is typically devoid of facts. Do you dispute Watson rammed the Japanese in the video above?

4. Seems like that one was the Sea Shepard's fault
That doesn't mean that the Japanese boat didn't ram the Ady Gill. That doesn't mean either one of them was right. I think the footage from the Bob Barker answers the questions about that.

10. I assume you have a problem with the whaler's "LIE" about being "research" vessels?
Edited on Thu Jan-07-10 12:20 AM by Hassin Bin Sober
Right?

Their very mission in those waters is an outright lie.

For the record: I argued back when the prior incident happened the SS was at fault.

This time it was the whalers who did the ramming.

13. I have always wondered about the blind, obsessive hatred
of organizations like PETA and Greenpeace. What motivates it? My theory is that it's defensive in its nature - the people venting their rage are actually venting their guilt, and their jealousy, because flawed though Mr. Watson may be, AT LEAST HE IS DOING SOMETHING.

14. I don't "hate" the organizations, I simply abhor some of their methods.
Tree-sitting? Great.

Tree-spiking? Puts the lives of others in danger.


Harassing whalers? Fine.

Ramming them (or making them ram you)? Insane.

15. That is SUCH bad logic.
First of all, where is the "blind obsessive hatred"? Not seeing it on this thread.

Secondly - and here's the bad logic part - saying that although something/someone should be forgiven for being flawed because it/they are AT LEAST DOING SOMETHING holds no water at all. I won't bore you with the slew of examples that surely you can imagine to demonstrate that.

16. There is a reason for the hatred.
They are LIARS, first and foremost. They are EXTREMISTS who LIE about their true intentions, which means to abolish animal domestication and force a vegan lifestyle on everybody else.

They can go to hell, every last one of them.

No sane person is jealous of these crackpots.
