So you are now admitting that the SSC has in the past and presently are committing crimes against countries all over the world? From shooting at police, to bombing and sinking ships within costal waters where International law isn't in effect.

Your sickness is so deep in your bones you don't get what BG is saying.
Please refrain from using this type of language while we are having an adult conversation.

You ask what Japan is doing that is illegal. BG's answer was "whaling". Now that can be argued BG agrees, but BG believes it is. However there is an argument from both sides...... BG will agree with you on that. Does this help you with your sickness at all?
Please state what national or international laws Japan is violating. That's all I'm asking from you. What laws are they violating?

In 1986 the IWC declared a moratorium on whaling. Japan is a member.
All except that pesky research clause. I believe it's Article VII of the IWC bylaws. In fact, it was a bylaw of the IWC predecssor.

Now since the IWC doesn't really have any "authority" to enforce it. It could be viewed that Japan doesn't have to abide by it. So whether or not they are "technically" breaking the "law" would need to be settled in court somewhere. Japan likes to say they say they are doing "scientific research". We both know that's crap Smitty.You can keep arguing this, but it's kinda useless. You think what you want...and BG will think what he wants. Can we at least agree to disagree?
But that's where we differ. You can think what you want, but I deal in facts. What Japan is doing is immoral, but it is not illegal, regardless of your "feelings".


Don't you have a home fire drill to do or something?
Again, lets stay on subject. Please refrain from useless diversions.
