they should stop being pussies and buy an old battle ship
I’m totally turning into a hippy lately. I can’t decide how I feel about that.
If you sell the rabbit, your 1 step closer to making your way back…
Cool boat, but look at the inside. Not exactly the Wally Hermès WHY. I’d be good with a couple hours, this thing has done 60 day trips, no thx…
To bad it sank though. Idiots.
as much as i hate dirty hippies and these tend to be the worst kind the whale ship definitely was turning at the boat. I doubt that boat can’t reverse for shit and the only option to avoid it would be accelerate and get turn. Either way the people talking in the second video were morons.
They should name the new boat Diversity.
These are not just hippies they are terrorists.
my 2 cents.
They should name it “GTFOtheWAY”.
The wiki link says it hit another boat a few years ago (on accident though I assume), during it’s around the globe race…
lol when two boats are on the same path, the larger less agile (read: whaling ship) has the right of way. Serves those morons right.
the hippies know that it does more good to make a headline than to slow the illegal (by their own country’s agreement) whalers down. they’re absolutely correct in their cause to bring light to this horrible situation, but the methods they use always end up looking drama queen.
I think south park did a very good job of explaining this entire situation accurately.
fixed.
What are the laws regarding all this whale hunting? How legal are the actions of the hippies also?
the cliff notes are that they agreed not to whale except for scientific research then go in and claim science on everything that they catch.
^
Exactly how much science do you need to conduct on a whale? Does it really require an entire whaling fleet every year and 100’s of whales?
I think I will start doing research on siberian tigers and elephants as well. But, I’ve got to study every last one of them just in case I find a new disease that the other ones don’t have… so that I can save the species from catching that disease…
Ron I doubt the network is interested in an old wooden ship.
I watched one episode of Whale Wars and I wanted to harpoon those hippies too.
I read up on the international whaling laws too.
Something like each vessel cosigned by that government can pull like 6 whales a year for research. It never states what kind of research.
It also stated something along the lines of, after the research was done, the whale meat could be sold on the public market to recoup the costs of the expensive research vessels and crews.
I also read that there is no international agreement of “Whale Safe” Waters. What one country says, another does not recognize IE. New Zealand and Japan.
I also give credit the the Japanese for using LRAD’s againts the Hippie Terrorists
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device < as to what LRADS are.
It was that loud beeping sound in the video.
Why are the hippies bad besides well… being hippies, i mean arent they doing something good protecting the whales?
^ Well, lets say you’re doing something with your car that’s in that gray area about being legal or not. Some people say it is, some people say it isn’t, and the courts are trying to work it out. I come along and pour sand in your intake and say, “I’m protecting the environment because I don’t like what you’re doing”. Kind of makes me a douche doesn’t it?
FUCK YOU WHARE! FUCK YOU DORPHIN!
