Who's spam SirPeale? Can you shed some light on that comment?
If I have breached the rules, don't ya think Saint would have shut me down?
I'm commenting on the truth. A truth that is supposed to be forgotten, because of a natural disaster.
I'm a troll because of my belief and my point of view, isn't that right Polaris?
Check out this link which I posted before.
Why did we have a video of a girl about discussing Religion? Talk about trolling..... ::)

its all good if someone is concered about the fishy fish in the sea, but i think that the people in japan are way more important than sea critters. One big big problem we had here in california is that the governator decided to shut off water to farmers to save some little smelt. Well me being from the central valley most of the jobs here are farm related, so if there is no water, you cant grow food, meaning people cant work. This shot the unemployment rate to some cities to over 50%. People lose jobs and there houses, but hey atleast that fishy fish is safe right? O another thing that fish is even edible to us, good lookin out arnold, im glad you got the fudge out.

To be Frank... you are wrong.
Fish are just as important as people. The delicate eco-system that is CRUCIAL to our species survival is more important than jobs. As a race of hyper-intelligent apes, we are smart enough to be able to find/create more jobs but once a species is destroyed, a species that could unknowningly lead to anything from the curing cancer to being the key link to all the aquatic life off of the coast of CA, we can't get it back.
Now don't mis-qute me, I'm not saying that we CARE about fish more than our poor Japanese brothers, but we are all just a species of ape if you look at it objectively, so caring more and them being more important are two different things.
The fossil record clearly shows that no species in the history of earth has been more dominant and has more of an ecological impact than humans. We are quite literally capable of destorying the planet via pollution and over-exploitation of resources. If we were a dumb, beastial species our actions would be excusable, but the fact that we are blessed with intelligence means that we must be mindful of the impact of our actions.
And this is coming from a poor country boy from WV living between a mile of two coal mines. So yes, the loss of Jobs vs the protection of the environment DIRECTLY effects myself and my family. Never the less I'm still not so stupid as to say jobs are more important than protecting our enivronment.
That being said, I'm glad the marine life is safe as well. (I would be MORE glad if the Japanese were in better shape.) It probably wasn't the most appropriate time to say it though.
Then again it's no more appropraite to jump on someone just because they are glad the wildlife was spared as that is a VERY GOOD THING.

Well, with my original post, I thought ark_ader was being sarcastic because Japan's whale fleets pretty much cleared out the whales surrounding japan, and they also over-fished the out lying ocean areas as well. It was kind of a "what really is going to be damaged that isnt already gone" kind of comment. Its not like the gulf's oil spill. That decimated everything, especially the shrimping industry in the area, among a ton of other things. That was way worse than the radiation contamination in Japan. Now if the reactors blow, thats a totally different story, but that hasnt happened yet. And to be honest, I just plain ol dont like ark_ader. :P

They are also routinely spotted just outside the national waters of countries all over the world. I know people see them all the time off the coast of Maritime Canada whaling like it's no tomorrow.

I usually dont comment on stuff like this, but your putting dolphins and whales before humans? As a human, we are at the top of the food chain. Sometimes you hear about some billy-bobs that find out that they are too dumb to not be eaten by an animal, for which in glad the animals are thinning the heard of dumb humans (whole 'nother debate).
Im not big on hunting just to hunt and mount on the wall. If the animals are being used for food and other things, Im ok with it. My Grandpa had a good saying "eat it before it eats you". He was speaking about eating animals for survival. Im not up to date about dolphin and what hunting in Japan, but their country says it legal in their waters, then the law is the law. If its illegal in international waters, then the hunters will be caught sooner or later.
One other thing, if this earthquake would have happened on Dec 8, 1941, would those in the U.S.A. care?
