and this is related to the OP's topic how?

I guess it was trying to find whether the killing the dolphins is wrong or right. According to liberals "BE NICE TO DEM THAR WHALES" according to Conservatives "WHALES TASTES GOODS, GO 'HEAD AND KILLEM"

something like that...?

but srsly, they probably only kill...0.001% of the population of the whales each year... If the whales are endangered...this isn't the reason

778,000 in the north atlantic, 1,000 killed a year


NOTE: Just looked up the endangered species list and threatened list, the whales are on the threatened list only...

[why?]

I wouldn't say that. Unnecessary murder and cruelty is wrong, plain and simple.

However, things like this are set up to evoke specific emotional responses, while the majority of the time being completely manipulated, if not outright faked. They are weapons used to make people or groups look bad, because the people that do this know the majority of viewers will not take the time to do background research.

I'm just saying that people need to arm themselves with the facts before going nuts with calling people evil.

It's cowardly. Are you poking fun at Hillary? Probably not a good target, she's hardly someone I'd like to cozy up to but at least she's got nads (unlike 90% of the people in her political party).

Early 20th century what? You totally lost me there.

I'm actually talking about facts. Simple as that. In general people who call themselves liberal or progressive do not take the time to know any facts, but instead go by how something makes them feel.

Hillary Clinton is a great target, because she's been pretty darn honest in what she wants. She doesn't hide behind anything, and tells people flat out she is a socialist. The term progressive comes from the early 20th century American politics. It was a bunch of people that had no bones idolizing mussolini and hitler before WW2.

Only thing I am saying is that you should learn the history of what you believe in, not just take it at face value.

I agree also you shouldn't just kill things for the fun of it. I don't think anyone here would have a problem with smashing a mosquito tho...would they?

Yeah. they take an event like this one a totally play on the nuances of peoples cultures.

We call this inhumane? I dunno about that.Well the process of killing the whales involves severing the spinal cord close to the brain stem. I really can't think of anything more humane than this...Without totally obliterating the whale. They got rid of the harpoons in the 1990's because of this. The whales usually die in seconds to minutes.

As people have correctly pointed out this is off topic but I have one quick question. Why would people left of center on the political spectrum (progressives) idolize people that are on the far right (fascists like Mussolini and Hitler)?

off topic is fun!!!! But if you insist we should use that open political discussion group that is basically dead, then we will. I'd just love to teach people about the reality of our history.
