I see what you mean, honestly. But to me, terrorism isn't something that can lead to death. It is death..Samurai_Jerk wrote:Sabotage has always been a big part of eco-terrorism. That's what I'm talking about. Trying a damage a ship is like tree spiking. Something that may not have been done with the intention of hurting anyone but could lead to injury or death.

My terror rating is determined by the 'nightmare quotient'.. If the act brings death, along with nightmares, it's terrorism.

They didn't. How did they drive in front of them when they were kicking back, taking photos, congratulating each other on their 'mission'?Greji wrote:BS GJ! They drove right in front of the J-ship. They were not rammed. They were simply run over...
Sorry, I should've said 'act of Muslim Jihadist terrorism, plus alpha'..Greji wrote:You say "bumping?" When you are in a ship that has nothing but not-so-thick metal walls protecting from dropping a mere mile or two to the ocean floor, and/or having to swim several hundred miles to shore, a "bump" at 20-30 knots might be a thing of concern to most people.

The Japanese came around and purposely rammed them, with water cannons flowing.. Maybe they deserved it and should've gotten out of the way, but the evidence speaks for itself:

Levels of mercury in hair samples of residents of Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, which is known for customarily eating small whales caught by coastal whaling, are about 10 times the average in Japan, possibly due to consumption of whale meat with high concentration of mercury, one of researchers who conducted the survey said Thursday.
Claiming the population of Antarctic minke whales boomed after World War II, Japan's scientific whaling program has been "sampling" increasing numbers of them each year on the grounds that reducing the number of minkes actually benefits the Antarctic ecosystem.
Meat from these "sampled" whales ends up for sale on the shelves of Japanese grocery stores.
The Japanese position is rooted in the belief that the minke population is booming. But a new analysis of the whales' DNA by a team headed by Stanford researchers concludes otherwise. There is no evidence of a significant increase in the population of minke whales, the researchers said. Their research demonstrates that the current population of Antarctic minke whales is within the historical norm of the species over the last 100,000 years.
"Based on our genetic analysis, average Antarctic minke whale populations over the past 100,000 years have been around 670,000," said Stephen Palumbi, professor of biology, director of Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station and senior fellow at the university's Woods Institute for the Environment. "That number easily falls within the range of current population estimates for the whales, as determined in studies by the International Whaling Commission," he said. Palumbi is the senior author of a paper describing the work, published in the journal Molecular Ecology.

Palumbi's team has been going to Japan to obtain minke meat for the last 15 years, collaborating with Oregon State University scientist Scott Baker, and has developed a network of buyers who visit fish markets throughout central Japan for them.
"They bring the meat to us and we set up a little molecular lab in our hotel room in Tokyo and extract and copy the DNA there in the hotel," he said. The team then brings back a "gazillion" copies for analysis.
