Epic fail

What is so wrong with whaling? We kill cows and chickens on a much larger scale.

I don't understand why one animal is okay but others aren't?

And if you looked at what could be harvested from one whale as opposed to one cow or sheep it'd be more like one hundred animals is okay but one isn't.

Just saying.

cows and sheep aren't critically endangered, for the most part whales are, if they weren't i would be chowing down on whale burgers with the best of them

cows and sheep aren't critically endangered because we breed so many of them.. why don't we do the same with teh whales?

I'd happily buy shares in a narwhal farm.

i vote we should start a narwhal fencing school

Done.

cows and sheep have had millions of generations to get used to domestication, whales on the other hand havent. they're also a lot more inteligent and need vast areas to survive in. also you can pen cows in with a fence or a hedge its a bit more tricky to do the same with something that lives in 1000+m of water and weights tens of tons.
though i do like the idea of being a whale rangler, or maybe a whaleboy as the red tops would no doubt brand it.
i'd ride a dolphin instead of a horse and have a special underwater stetson, which would bring a whole new meaning to the 'ten gallon hat'.

I am disappoint.

Mini-drome all over again...

Marty Mann was my favourite. 'Started WWII'

I hate people.

whales have no natural predator, their removal from the food-chain by small monkeys with engineering skills has upset the cosmic order of the universe and has probably irked Godzilla's mother-in-law or some shit, I don't read Manga so I'm not sure.

I was going to post that.

It's seriously stupid.

Think of the outrage these people would feel if someone did something similar along the lines of 'BOOM! Hurricane Katrina.. That's for the Boston Tea Party'

It would seem Americans are like elephants, they never forget. Apart from the use of atomic weapons, they forgot that pretty sharpish...

nah, one guy said it was 3-1 to America.

(some) Americans always do this, they're like the world-trolling champions.
In TX a fairly popular bumper sticker was 'Texas, bigger than France!!'
It's a correlation based on the ruddiness of the neck and the level of global ignorance, intolerance and insecurity.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, earthquake - pearl harbour.

pear harbour - 2,350 dead

Hiroshima - 90,000–166,000 dead
Nagasaki - 60,000–80,000 dead
earthquake - 1000+ and counting

ya seems fair

^ Pear Harbor must be a conspiracy, never heard of it

Was that a [sic] reference to EdSquabble's 'pear of wisdom' post?

If so, well done sir.

"japonizes" "Japanies" "back stabine" "tsunome" "obamha"

Shit's bad when you can't spell your president's - very phonetic - name.

was a right wing(nut) DJ in Nashville (Phil Valentine if you must) who insisted on pronouncing it Baracko Bomber with a pregnant enough pause between the two words every fucking time he mentioned him during the run up to the election in '08.
It's a calculated thing, getting his name wrong to compound how 'furren' he sounds, but Phil took it to another level by associating him with bombers, and thus terrorism.

Almost as good as mentioning his middle name in relation to Saddam. As if a politician called Charlie is somehow damned because he shares a name with Mr.Manson.

Exactly.

"those damn krauts deserve to be hit by a earthquake tsunami for nuking pearl harbor."

he heh he!

orcas, sharks and giant squid can all take down whales
