Damn those Japs.
That British sub in the South Atlantic should bump any Japanese whaling boats.

Now the Japanese population has reached certain levels I feel we can slaughter some of their number for “scientific purposes” without a detrimental effect on the wider population.

Pure fascism, Boovis. I guess then it's a-OK for me to say the Britards should be bombed and have depleted uranium thrown at them until we find WMDs in your country. And this time there would be no mistake.

Boycott cannibal capitalists and support evolution to modern fully functional information-age democracy. The world's failed war based governments must be replaced by non-violent self-directed evolution as soon as possible for survival of all mammals, including humans.

As so it came to pass,
Yet again the human race, put greed and profits before common cense, and the life and future of life in the oceans,

And of course [foggetty] comes up with stupid remarks,

You may well need the British, if the free world decides to enforce a sanctuary for sea life,

Or does Argentina oppose this.

3: what in heck are you blathering on about? For the retarded I'll explain: Japan claims that it's ok to kill whales as the whale population is at a level where the deaths will not affect the population at large. I'm applying the same logic to the japanese people to show how horrific that point of view truly is. If you disagree with that then you're saying you agree with the Japanese, and a bit of a douche at that.
