sitwap. A Japanese whaling boat plows into a conservation boat in Antartica. (the conservation boat looks like the batboat) - decline Jan 6, 09:04 23
- And after the collision it looks like they were still hosing them. "Still hanging on? Try this!" Pfoooooosh! -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 6, 09:16
- I don't much like whaling, but these conservation nutjobs deserve what they get. -- nm - TWuG Jan 6, 09:09 12
  - I wouldn't oppose advocating physical action against the whaling ships (but not the crew). -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 09:21 1
    - *cuts off their arms and dump them into the ocean* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:23
  - A longer living planet? - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:10 9
    - Getting plowed down because they interfere with another vessel's operation. They're no better than pirates. - TWuG Jan 6, 09:13 5
      - I don't really have a problem with it. what japan is doing down there is effectively illegal. - mafic Jan 6, 09:18 4
        
        Fine. Then marshall your resources to lobby for enforcement. Meeting one possibly illegal act with definitely illegal action - TWuG Jan 6, 09:21 2
        
        the protestors aren't doing anything illegal either. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:25 1
        
        Pretty sure what they are doing is a violation of maritime law. - TWuG Jan 6, 09:30
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn: *The* Blood Feud Champion Jan 6, 09:18

      - You are moose. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:11
      - e -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:11
- watching the video, it doesnt even look like the batboat was moving when the collision happened - tRuMaN Jan 6, 09:07 3
  - it wasn't. if the captain hadn't reversed the engines at the last second, it'd probably be much worse. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:14
  - that is atactic they use. shoot in front of the whalers and stop dead and see what happens -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:08
  - Batboats slice through the water, silly. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:08
- *dives off side* -- nm - Hayden Panettiere Jan 6, 09:07
- MY OCEAN! -- nm - Private Space Jan 6, 09:06

I've been asked: Entertainment Weekly's editors want to know what you would ask Director James Cameron about Avatar if you could ask him anything. -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 09:04 19
- What are you thinking of doing next and how can I invest in it? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:12
- How *do* you do it? -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 09:11
- Why didn't you use a decent looking font? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 6, 09:08 5
  - The 8pt font used for the script was meant to discourage studio execs from actually reading it. And to make them think the movie was shorter than 3hrs -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 09:16
  - I actually kinda liked it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:10 3
    - you're one of *those* people -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 6, 09:14 2
      - You're still bitching about this? Who gives a shit which font he used? -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 09:28
      - you also prefer the 2D version. just sayin -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 6, 09:20
- Can I invest in your next movie? -- nm - ceregon Jan 6, 09:08
- why couldnt you write a decent plot line for the movie -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 09:05 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 09:06
- "Pretty please with sugar on top, just give us the exact damn production cost of the movie." -- nm - Max Jan 6, 09:05
- why do you hate America? -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:04 2
  - 3rd? dammit. -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:05 1
    - You are dumb *and* slow. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:09
- can I get your dealer's number? -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 09:04
- Besides "Why do you hate America?" -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 09:04
- Ask why he hates America? -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 09:04 1
  - F*CK! -- nm - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 09:05
So, znufrii, tell me then: you are saying that a soldier from the US called a "Marine" should not be assumed to be in the Marine Corps? -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 09:03 11
- no. - znufrii Jan 6, 09:14
- Sometimes, an ex-marine might be simply called a marine. Like an ex-US Army Ranger might just be called a Ranger or an ex-US Navy Seal might be called - Beryllium Jan 6, 09:05 9
  - There are no ex-marines - decline Jan 6, 09:06
  - yeah, i meant my definition to include this. you're right. znufrii seems to be saying something else. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 09:06 5
    - i.e. "never ever in the Marine Ciorps, but just happens to be classified as a marine-type soldier, maybe in the Air Force or some shit". -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 09:08 4
      - Dude. Haven't you ever played Doom? There are *Space* Marines. Duh. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 09:13 3

        "never seen it" - Paul Reiser on Mad About You -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:16 1
        
        heh -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:17
  - yeah, just because they are not "Active" marines, they do not lose the title. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 09:06 1
    - ie: Steven Segal in Under Seige -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:06
Man, I used to love using Bert in the old RBI Baseball. His curve was deadly. -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:02 3
- Bert is *5th All-Time* in Strikeouts. How is that not automatic HOF? - musubi Jan 6, 09:06 2
  - High ERA? High # of homers allowed? - groiny Jan 6, 09:09 1
    - Bert had a career ERA of 3.31, through his first 16 years of his career, he had a 3.01 ERA. - musubi Jan 6, 09:29
would you hire 19 yo Bristol Palin as your publicist? -- (link) - Andie Jan 6, 09:00 16
- no. but as an assistant sure. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 09:08
- yeah sure why not hire a non college graduate for such an improtant position. sure. and for my person trainer I am gonna hire Larry the Cable guy. - tRuMaN Jan 6, 09:04
- Ah, but now she can be added to the books as a consultant and paid from campaign funds. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 09:03 2
  - ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 09:06
  - [deleted]
- possibly, on the assumption that she'd be using her family connections for most of the actual work. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 09:03
- [deleted]
- Not as my publicist - con_carne Jan 6, 09:02
- She'd certainly be able to get people to at least talk to her. -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 09:01
- [deleted]
- I don't think I'd hire any 19 year old as my publicist. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 09:00 5
  - unless, of course, you wanted the publicity from doing it. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 09:01 1
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 09:13
  - [deleted]
  - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:01
  - right? -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:01
