Wait, what’s this rumor about Smash stealing money from panhandlers at gunpoint and addicting them to cocaine so he can pimp them out to corporate bachelor parties? I am intrigued.
Of course they are ineffective. The Sea Shepherds are basically trying to carry out commerce raiding without actually breaking the law (or at least as much as they can get away with).
If they wanted to be effective they would have to mount guns on a few ships and start sinking whaling ships, worked rather well for Confederate commerce raiders during the war. Of course international law looks rather dimly on this.
The other reason they are ineffective is the fact they they are comically inept, very few people on bear have any idea wheat they are doing and the fist mate is an idiot who honestly shouldn't be allowed to peddle a fiberglass swan arround a lake. Add to this, the command of a captain who would gladly sacrifice his ship and crew if he thought he would get a little more publicity.
I wonder if Animal Planet will actually show it when the ship ends up hitting an iceberg and sinking, or loses one of the small boats and its crew for good.
I’m sorry, was I mistaken? I assumed that you were confirming you didn’t intend to accuse me of embezzling funds from the OPU. Could you clarify the answer for me? I am aware you regard this as amusing, but our organization can’t afford to have an accusation of improper use of funds on a public forum.
I’m asking again, will you confirm that you were just making a joke and didn’t intend to imply I made improper use of union funds?
I would imagine your organization can’t really afford much of anything, dear.
Your cause probably can’t afford to have your bloviations all over this forum associated with their cause either.
Seriously.
Your cause is probably just, but even just the NAME of the cause AND your username here probably do more harm than good for it. Add all the off the wall stuff you post here and that even makes it worse. Unless you are operating on the theory that any publicity is good publicity.
Seriously.
If I could round up all the folks that have donated to your cause, then have them read all the stuff you’ve posted on this forum, I can certainly imagine a large fraction of them wondering who the hell they have given their hard earned money to.
Seriously.
Your are no doubt smart, but man, dude, do you need to mature a bit, quit taking yourself so damn seriously, quit thinking you are so much smarter than everyone else (particularly when you think pointing out what OTHER smart people have stated over the years somehow magically makes you smart too), and understand the implications of all this bloviating on your cherished cause.
The parallels between the OPs beef with the whalers and you and your cause are significant.
Lighten up dude.
Seriously.
Tonight. The world television premiere. When Whales Attack. Viewer discretion advised.
The changes in the Japanese fleet between the two seasons of this show were really impressive. Those guys know what they’re doing.
Sure, you do.
Heh. 
There was one shot in the show where he was standing on the bridge, I think, and he was just totally deflated. He was sad, defeated, uncomprehending, and just totally lost-looking. That’s what was on the screen when I thought of the caption.
Thanks for posting that.
I’m sorry but I was not aware that you were an official representative of an organization posting on this message board in an official capacity.
I’m not aware of this, because you never said so, nor is there anything in your profile to suggest.
If you are not posting officially in such a capacity, than I guess he can accuse you of whatever he wants without it reflecting upon your as yet unnamed organization (The Society for Worthless Individuals, perhaps?)
If you are posting in a capacity, you should probably identify yourself as doing so. Once you do, of course you’ll need to clear it with the Board’s administration prior to posting as there are rules against spamming and this is a recreational discussion board.
The above were to be true if we were to take you seriously.
As it is, you are full of shit. The fact is any organization that has you as a representative can surely afford to be accused of embezzling the money of panhandlers, as that would most likely be a step up.
I doubt any such union exists. As such it would be hard for you to embezzle their money. Hence, a joke, most likely.
You are a Sea Shepherd, aren’t you? You have all the symptoms, the self-importance, the incompetance, the whole deal.
Whale. mmmmmmm. Throw another whale on the barby.
It’s the other other white meat…
Sure you can afford it. Just be bummier.
Can anyone recommend a good wine that goes well with whale? It’s a mammal (red meat?) so a red wine might fit, but it sort of looks like a fish (white wine). Maybe I should split the difference with a pinkish colored wine?
Decisions, decisions.
Rum. Or grog, if you’re on a budget.
Well, I’ll be…
I had thought that too stupid to be real.
I’d treat it like pork.
Skip wine entirely, whale is actually pretty good with poor person blood.
So, the same way you cook baby Harp seal, then?
