Well BG does agree with you about one thing. This "horse" has been beaten to death so much there's nothing left.

How many times do the mods and everyone need to say this though? If you don't like what BG is saying. Don't read his threads. It might be different if someone else started the thread, but they didn't, BG did.

Give it a try....and say hi to Mikey for me.

I will politefully diagree. You can't expect any sentient being to read your comments and blindly believe them to be fact. If this is your actual expectation, I am worried about you. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you are not the final answer to any question. We as a community have a cetain degree of responsibilty to question anyone here that posts opinion as fact.

There are 2 arguments here. First..the whaling is done in the Southern Ocean...not Japanese waters. The Dolphins however are in Japanese waters and it's not illegal to take them.

So why is your group attempting to prevent them from carrying out their rights that are covered within government laws? Why would a member of your group take a boat into the cove and cut the nets the fishermen were using? If in fact you believe what you are yourself stating above, why are you there trying to prevent them from fishing which is in fact (by your own words) legal?

Your argument is sound, and BG totally understands your point. It is difficult to go to another country and ask them to change, but it's something BG and many Japanese believe also. So BG is gonna try.

But I don't beieve you are "asking" them to change their culture. Can you actually say that your group's activities would remotely be considered, in any culture, as "asking them to change"?

I await your response.
