It was me wasn\'t it ?

This trolling effort was for anyone who wished to bite.

My post in the heat thread was a clear effort to get you going.

I think you should trap the whales and train them.  You could take them to people\'s houses, put them in their pools and do kiddy shows.

Fook sake Vid... what kind of backyard pool do you have ?


Olympic size swimming pool size

Well I would get the little whales.  They don\'t have to be huge ones...

I mean the whale probably wouldn\'t be able to do much in the pool other than sunbathe, but kids will love him.

It makes me sick.  I just got back from a whale watch in Boston, perhaps people don\'t realize that just maybe we wouldn\'t have endangered species if we didn\'t hunt them.

Well, the country needs fishing and I\'m sure they\'re only taking out controlled groups of some whales.

On another matter... "The United States is disappointed in Iceland\'s decision to begin scientific whaling" - yeah, and I\'m disappointed the US wouldn\'t sign the Kyoto treaty when countless other countries did. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone - isn\'t that how the saying goes?

That Kyoto Treaty is a joke. The US would stand to lose billions of dollars from it while other countries exempt from the Kyoto treaty would still be belching smoke.

Anyway....this is another topic.

What kind of whales are there? I thought they eat mostly plankton and smaller fish and not the ones humans eat.

[GmanJoe]

Never mind.

DIET AND BALEEN
Minke whales (like all baleen whales) are seasonal feeders and carnivores. They sieve through the ocean water with their baleen. They filters out small polar plankton, krill, and small fish, even chasing schools of sardines, anchovies, cod, herring, and capelin. They have the same diet as blue whales.

What other countries? As far as I remember, every major country (and not so major) signed the treaty. Except for the US of course. :rolleyes:

Just seems pretty hypocritical to me to bash a (very small) nation for taking out a few whales to support one of their few trades, when oneself is unwilling to cut back on pollution. But you\'re right, that\'s a whole other topic. I just brought it up to show how silly the quote "dissappointed with..." etc. really was.
