So I think most of the country is back at school by this point (apart from some of the Eastern States). And so... I have 30 weeks of school left. Ever. (29, now). And I have major exams. In 29 weeks. I know nothing.
Apart from all that freaky stuff, we also have the school ball. God. With all the drama it's causing, I totally understand why it's at the beginning, rather than the end of the year. Although, speaking of the end of the year, Leavers looks like it's going to cause some major arguments as well. Don't get me started (I'll do that myself, later.)
Anyway, about the Sea Sheperd? Seriously, guys. You aren't impressing anyone. In fact, you're coming across less as 'animal activists' and more 'pirates who should really be arrested'. Now, while you were probably in international waters when this latest clash with the whalers happened, you all still hold (or you should, legally) an Australian skippers ticket. And that means that you're expected to know, and obey, some simple rules. Like the one how the little ships (you) give way to the big ships (the whalers) because they can't turn as fast and also they're generally commercial and thus have schedules, cargo, etc. And the second (and third) thing you should know is that if you're headed towards another ship and it looks like you're going to collide, you both turn right. Also that you don't get too close to another ship. So, realistically, you shouldn't really be complaining that they tried to ram you. It's just as much your responsibility to stay out of their way. Your ship is probably faster anyway. The complaint about them throwing a bamboo spear at you, I'll admit, that's not ok and was their fault. However, it's also not ok (and verges on piracy) for you to board their ship without invitation, like you did several years ago, so I kind of have to ask what you did to provoke them to throw this at you. (I did hear something about you throwing glass bottles at them. Whether this happened before or after the spear doesn't really matter... everyone involved is an idiot.)
And don't try to tell me 'What about the whales?!". What about the cows? And didn't anyone ever tell you that two wrongs don't make a right? Besides, vigilante justice is never the way to go. There's a reason that most democracies seperate the judicial system from the legislative (ie, the people who make the laws). That's because it's a sure way to get corruption if the people who create the laws also enforce them.
So quit it.
And the English language is really not working for me today.
