OUTRAGE! Ady Gil (Earthrace) trimaran rammed and sunk by whalers!

"Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.“
- David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club

Now, consider this fact: Paul Watson got tossed from the Sierra Club's board of directors....for being too radical. What does that tell you about him?

 

"Typical of their zealous behavior - trying to breed with only 7 BULL elephants???" Boston saw right through that plan!
Troy, thanks for digging all this stuff up. I knew I didn't like him but I didn't know how much!

 

I agree, Mark. I didn't like the self-righteous, lying pig to begin with. But the more I find out about him, the less I like him.

People like sabahcat seem to misunderstand where I'm coming from. I'm not speaking up because I love whaling and timber clear-cutting. I'm speaking up because I But I do respect working men who do hard, dangerous jobs day in and day out to make a living, whether I agree with their bosses sending them to do it or not. I'd be proud to buy a beer for anyone on a logging crew or a whaling crew any day. People like Paul Watson, and the clueless little nimrods on his crews who are risking their lives to back up his fanaticism and incompetence, can buy their own damn drinks....preferably in some bar clear across town from me.

 

LOL,
I've been drawn back by some of the ridiculous notions mentioned. Perhaps I'll be stronger willed next time.

Here is an amusing intellectual exercise. Compare Watson's scenario, reducing the globe's aids like virus problem by removal of 85% of the human population, with that of a typical comic book or sci fi evil mad scientist bent on global destruction. LOL, what's the difference?

To paraphrase a tyrant from long ago;

Who will rid me of this troublesome ecoterrorist?

Where are our superheros when we really need them? LOL

 

SuperWhaler and his Neutronic Harpoon

 

That sounds ************, somehow. Or do I just have a dirty mind?:?:

 

I don't know. I've never been in that section at the video store. Now, we've got the humor on the Ady Gil thread and I don't know what on the joke thread.

 

Just go with the flow, Mark. It's all good....I never was good at sticking to coloring between the lines, anyway.

 

The "Joke" thread seems to be evolving into "USA Politics", so it is good to see some flexibility and understanding

 

Think you're on to something Mark. I'd wager those of us out here in "flyover" farming country (not a farmer myself, my parents were farm kids though) tend to be a bit more realistic about how nature works "in the wild".
Admittedly, it will not be always true, I tend to expect those people packed and stacked into what amounts to an artificial environment will possess an artificial view of the natural environment.

That sound about right to anyone else?

 

Reminds me of this old story:

An old cowboy sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. As he sat sipping his drink, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"

He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning barns, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy."

She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think about women when I eat. It seems that everything makes me think of women."

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"

He replied, "well, I always thought I was. But I just found out I'm a lesbian...."

 

Totally geeky humor but it so fits the gutter we're headed for:

Back in my younger miniatures gaming days, we had a WW2 Japanese submarine torpedoman character, who was quite popular with the girls, Seaman Long Lance

(The Type 93 was a 610 mm (24 inch) diameter torpedo of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was popularly referred to as the "Long Lance" by most modern English language naval histories, a nickname given postwar by Samuel E. Morison, a historian who spent much of the war in the Pacific theater. It was the most advanced torpedo in the world at the time.)

 

ya but it cost me the job and I really could have used it
thing is if they were really interested in saving as many as posible then they would have bought a few hundred acres in Tex-*** somewhere and saved about 49.9 million to actually spend on "critically" endangered animals. As it was only a political move and not one based on conservation they were very touchy about it. Needless to say I didn't last long, once I found out about it.

I am equally as disgusted with posers pretending as I am to poachers stealing the last of our natural resources

 

Elephants --dont talk to me about bloody Elephants. I see the damn things every day. they used to come in town with there mahoots of course but not now and those little ones can get thier trunk in you glass of beer and in 1 second drink the lot. Ive pulled up next to them at traffic lights, but I can always beat them --terrible acceleration.

I can tell you Elephant storys you would' nt beleive.

 

We know, we know. First you turn your pockets inside out and let them hang out to the sides, then you unzip your fly...
