		<description>The extermination of Whale species have been caused by
 antisubmarine torpedo training.

Whale catching is not the principal cause.

And the person in submarine is annoyed with the supersonic
 of whale catching finder.

So Submarine Force is against whale catching.The money
 comes from the naby, with complex of penance, maybe.</description>

		<description>White s**t?

Now this is a racist rant.  Countering garbage with garbage makes TWO garbages instead of canceling out the first garbage.  All the more troubling because usually, you don&#039;t know who threw out the first garbage- so it&#039;s an accumulation of generations of garbages.

Maybe I&#039;m just responding to a troll.</description>

		<description>If this is not Japanese, let&#039;s say Norway or Iceland, they do not care if the whales are killed...they are just white shit like many of Australian...or, why you do not talk about the high-tech super sonar searching the ssabmarine by US NAVY is killing more whales.

In short, this is about the narrow minded fucking white prejudice.</description>

		<description>Ponta
Your comment of “….And I look upon Anpontan’s blog as peeling off the western media’s assumptions and bias….” ….is a very interesting one. 

On the face of it agree with you. However, there is a difference between placing down paper cuttings on a table for all to see and asking what you think of them, and placing down paper cuttings and commenting upon them for you to agree or disagree with the comment.

I would much rather see the bare facts presented than reading edited highlights. Once evidence, in whatever form, is being presented with some editorial input, it is tainted.

Just like reading a newspaper. You like some newspapers and some you don’t. If you are right-wing you will not, of course, like reading a left wing paper, and vice versa. The editorial content of each news paper is different. The journalist of that paper will also have that leaning. But 2 reporters being at the same venue of a news event will both see and hear the same, yet report differently.

Finally....”Arguing that “(y)ou can choose which ever word you wish, that is your right. But if the meaning of that word is different from what you think it is…there is nothing I can do about that!” is just ridiculous….”

In my work, I come across a high percentage of people misusing terminology. The terminology used is clear and has a definition, like all words do. I choose to use the correct meaning that I was taught (at school/university/work) and a definition that is reflected in the dictionary, not what someone “thinks” it means.
If I continue with the “word” that I am told by a client, where his meaning/understanding is incorrect, that is to say I am reacting to the words he is using not his actual intention, it can cost a significant amount of money to correct, and in some cases cost lives. Hence, I question what it is they actually mean, since their words used do not always appear to make sense. Words have meaning…it is simple as that.
And no, I am not a lawyer…nothing to do with the law.

Wishing you all a happy new year……</description>

		<description>Just for a short historical note

I would say that the anti-whaling &quot;movement&quot; proper started in about 1975 when the first Greenpeace whale campaign was launched from Vancouver against Russian whalers. Then in Australia was against the last whaling station at Albany, Western Australia in 1977. Its not been all anti-Japan all the way and you cant blame the founders, or the even the leaders of a such a movement, for when it hits the mainstream ... and straw polls are taking amongst drunken idiots. 

Unfortunately, Japan has the worse record for government complicity in business ... three years ago, Russian scientists produced the voluminous real data on Soviet whaling during the &#039;50&#039;s, &#039;60&#039;s, and &#039;70&#039;s. The USSR and Japan had jointly conspired to wipe out most of the world&#039;s large whales. More than 50,000 humpbacks, and similar high numbers of blue, fin, and right whales, were killed by the USSR and sold to Japan illegally. 

Japan&#039;s own whaling ships were and are still involved in illegal kill then and now. Many endangered whale species continue to show up in Japan&#039;s marketplace and whales &quot;accidentally&quot; caught in fishing nets in Japan have skyrocketed now that a whale is worth so much more than a cargo of fish. (Netted whales of any species are allowed by Japan to be sold in the market - often at caviar prices). Japan&#039;s markets are driving Russians, Korean and mafias into the business ... for the money.

Its the stubborn, hypocrital arrogance that is going to have its nose wiped in the dirty. Sadly, the ignoramuses confuse that with &quot;Japaneseness&quot;. Is it part of Japaneseness or are the Japanese just going to be dragged down by its association with the rest of them? 

Killing a whale is monstrous. Death times for the large whales ranging from 15 minutes to more than an hour after a whale has had a blunt harpoon driven into its intestines. The products produced are entirely unneeded. Whalemeat is a high-priced &quot;novelty food&quot; like caviar.</description>

		<description>Hmmn ... its a bit off topic but on Doc Watson being suspended, I think the first questions anyone would have to ask are; &quot;What is intelligence?&quot; and &quot;How does one measure it?&quot;. Presumably his statements were based on results ... but results of what? The article does not say. Standard IQ tests favoring Ivy League Wasps?

On topic, we see a typical Aunti Beed hatchet-handed diplomacy job on its latest coverage of positive Chinese-Japan summit talks, here;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7164720.stm

Some Basil Fawlty editor keeps screaming away in the background, &quot;Don&#039;t forget the War, Don&#039;t Forget the war ...&quot;.

Quote BBC; 

&lt;i&gt;BACKGROUND&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Uneasy neighbours &lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;History and analysis of China and Japan&#039;s difficult relationship &lt;/i&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;Japan&#039;s controversial shrine&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Schoolchildren&#039;s views&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Japan&#039;s &#039;comfort women&#039; fund&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The Rape of Nanjing &lt;/i&gt;

It must be special treatment for &quot;dem dirdy stinkin&#039; Japs&quot; because its funny but I don&#039;t see constant mention on the Chinese stories of the 100,000+ Victims of Dynastic and Republican China, 600,000+ Victims of Warlord China, the 2,500,000 Victims of The Nationalist Period, the 5,000,000 Victims of The Civil War, the 8,500,000 Victims of The Totalization Period, the 7,500,000 Victims of Collectivization and &quot;The Great Leap Forward&quot;, the 10,729,000 Victims of The Great Famine and Retrenchment Period, the estimate 7,730,000 Victims of The &quot;Cultural Revolution&quot; or 874,000 Victims of Liberalization ... and, of course, Tibet is still ongoing.

I think it is some sort of atrocity pornography think they got going, like the Holocaust Industry. You know, like ... let&#039;s get those school kids reading really nasty things in their school books and traumatize them all over again!</description>
