I'm shocked the Japanese have been as tolerant as they are.  These people (the Sea 'Shepherds') are total loons.  They throw stuff at the Japs, shoot stuff at the Japs, cut across their bows, etc ... yet when something happens it is all the fault of the Japanese whalers.  And all the evidence is on TV once a week!   :thatsright:

As I've said before, Whale Watchers is what happens when hippies think good intentions will overcome reality.  As much as I bitched about fire drills, flooding drills, maintenance, field day, and all the other mundane bullshit that went with shipboard life, I knew that at the end of the day, worst case scenario, I could face pretty much any situation and stand a good chance of coming out alive and in one piece.

I harbor no such sentiments for these assclowns.  A galley fire would **** them over nine ways from Sunday.

I watched the show today.  Their freshwater/seawater systems were cross-contaminated (piss-poor engineering).  Lucky for them they were in the Antarctic and could get a few ice cubes down in their freshwater tanks (although they'll still be salty as shit).

Let them try that shit around Hawaii and see how far they get.  Stupid and lucky?  Luck runs out.

Man, Sparky, you ain't just BSing there.  The frickin' polar oceans are no place for dysfunctional hippies and anarchists with a ship.  That thing is a deathtrap, it's a miracle they're all still alive.  I'm sure having some star (I've never heard of her myself, really) on board mugging for the film crew is just going to make the trip ever so much more focused, harmonious, and efficient, though!  That show is a great leadership teaching tool...about what not to do, in a 'Marine operations in hazardous waters as done by the Three Stooges' kind of way.

Then  you would absolutely HATE working in a nuke plant.  Imagine you doing emergent maintenance to prevent the plant from having to shut down because of a 6-hour action statement, and you've got watching:

--Your supervisor
--Your manager
--Quality Control (doing an observation)
--The Shift Manager
--The Operations Manager
--Engineering (always in groups of at least 4 to "advise" while they all draw OT, of course)
--The resident NRC inspector

My step-son and I watch this from time to time.  IT IS A LAUGH RIOT!  The closest any of them have ever came to nautical experience is they may have been to the beach and swam in the ocean.  (Key word:  "may")

I believe the Japanese wouldhave to rescue them, because if they don't, the hippies would pollute the water worse than the rustbucket POS boat ever could.  If you were the Japanese, would YOU want to eat whale that had been caught in waters where hippies had drowned?

I rest my case.   :lmao:

THAT is the result of all these "warning labels" on any and all everyday products.

USED to be the stupid would kill themselves off in childhood thru early adulthood before they could procreate, thereby keeping the numbers of stupid people in check.

BUT, the stupid soon realized that if the stuck a "warning label" on everything that could remotely cause harm or death to their offspring, they could have more stupid to associate with.

NOW, we are overrun with stupid people, who are no longer killing themselves off, instead, they are living to adulthood, procreating, becoming teachers and college professors, and voting Democrat.

It's all volunteer work.  I think the S-S.org is part of Greenpeace but I could be mistaken.

I watched a new(er) episode last night.  That idiot captain ran his ship right into one of those Japanese whalers and tore a hole in the side of his boat.  If those dumbasses sink themselves, it won't be for lack of trying.

It takes big money to run a ship that size, along with the accompanying equipment/boats/helicopters/support gear.

The people in the program are idiots -- pure and simple. They're looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

I don't want to see anybody get hurt or killed, but when these morons are on the high seas dicking around with seamen who have no compunction about using violence against those who want to interfere with their vocation -- no matter how despicable it might seem to be -- when they get harpooned or hurt or fall in the ocean, hey, that doesn't bother me one bit.

And you KNOW they're gonna **** up, sooner or later--and usually sooner.

I've heard of this show, but I really don't know the premise of it. I don't know what all goes on in this show. I am, however, a big fan of keeping the endangered whales safe. And really most whales.

I agree with you, but these guys are pathetic.  Watching these hopeless grabasses playing grownup in the middle of the Arctic Ocean beats anything else on TV.

I agree, they are pathetic.

I'd love to check out the show, but please tell me this. Do you see whale-butchering? I can't watch if so. But if not, I'd love to see what this show is really about.

Some of the earlier shows, yes.  You don't see a lot of graphic material, just a bunch of bumbling dumbasses on a rusty old boat.

You're in luck (if you really want to call it that).  Tomorrow at 4pm Eastern, they're showing twelve hours of episodes.

Soleil, I don't think any of us are for the unnecessary butchering of wildlife at any level.  Certainly no endangered species.  The whales the Japanese are killing are not endangered and it allowed by law (this is contested by the hippies).

Having said that ... you won't see much of anything actually happening on any of the shows but you will see a LOT of hippies doing really stupid things and crying when the Japanese do some of the same stuff the hippies are doing.  The hippies cry foul at every turn and it is simply hilarious to watch incompetence of that magnitude.

In one episode they chipped some ice off a glacier because they forgot to get enough fresh water to hold them over.  While sucking on a piece of ice one of the hippies said; "Guys, do you realize this water could be thousands of years old!"

My 16 year old daughter turned to look at me and said; "Oh my Lord.  Where does this hippie think the water came from .... of COURSE it's thousands of years old!"

I watch just enough of this stuff to once again realize that idiots in this world abound then I go do something constructive.

It looks to me, though, that they're pretty well outfitted. I'm not seeing a lot of rusty, broken-up stuff -- somebody's paying big money to finance this kind of stoopid.

That was the same episode they "forgot" to fuel up.. Ady Gil ! By the way I am against any  killing of endangered species either. The hippies are eco-terrorist in my opinon!
