I'm not trying to start a fight!
Perha...Gosh! I'm not trying to start a fight!<br /><br />Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.<br /><br />South Korea (was) planning to fish for whales. Okay. <i>(No digression into alleged whale shortages or bland chewiness of whale meat).</i><br /><br />This fishing would be done by Korean working stiffs, who'd go about their business in a workmanlike manner.<br /><br />These fellers are unlikely to share the world view of middle class western uni students (& perpetual undergraduates) such as; how many whales are in the ocean, or how bland & chewy whale meat is etc etc.<br /><br />They'd understand just how difficult, dangerous & hard <i>work</i> really is, & appreciate being paid. South Korea doesn't have a lot of pleasant options for blue collar workingmen.<br /><br />They'd value their job, as "icky" as it may seem to sanctimonious pontificators located in the inner suburbs of cities in western liberal democracies.<br /><br />So: Going about their job, the fishermen are ambushed by a bunch of pirates, who try to sabotage both the work, & the ships of the fishermen.<br /><br />This sabotage is done with little concern for the life, property or livelihood of the fishermen.<br /><br />Regardless of one's position (with the workingmen, or if with the bullies) one could reasonably expect a robust response to committing sabotage on the high seas.<br /><br />The world has been of late rather spoiled by the discipline of the Japanese in these circumstances.<br /><br />There is a reason the Sea Shepherd sooks are trying it on with the Japanese, instead of sabotaging the boats of Vikings, Gulf of St. Lawrence Frenchmen et al.<br /><br />.... They believe the Japanese won't fight back.<br /><br />Sea Shepherd are cowards.<br /><br />They are bullies, who every time someone hits back, prove to be cowards.<br /><br />They deserve to be sunk, to the last boat, complete with every last cowardly bully & criminal aboard those boats.Steve at the Pubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11072522.post-17701158430789191722012-07-17T23:02:31.422+10:002012-07-17T23:02:31.422+10:00Rebecca H: Touche!Rebecca H: Touche!Steve at the Pubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11072522.post-87774792534684205612012-07-17T04:22:49.464+10:002012-07-17T04:22:49.464+10:00Mine Host is quite correct.

If the whole of Nature is to be reduced to Man and what he can eat, we'll all be the poorer.<br /><br />3. It takes all sorts to make a world, and our modern industrial civilisation largely depends for its survival on nerdy types that sports jocks despise.<br /><br />4. Some of your other posts on the Japanese show that there's a limit to how much one can admire force and domination.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.com
