Beer Secure. Child, Not So Much

What’s more disheartening than buying your case of beer, only to have the handles give out in the 7-11 parking lot, turning your bottled sunshine into a puddle of foam, glass, and cardboard? Or worse yet, having the same thing happen but only on your driveway? One must always take precautions to protect the working man’s nectar, but there are limits.

Who hasn’t belted their case of beer into the backseat for ride home? It’s probably pretty common because who the hell wants to clean up 24 busted beer bottles from behind the driver’s seat after it gets air born because of the very well maintained potholes in our fine neighborhoods? Buckling your beer in before the drive home is acceptable, but only if it doesn’t relegate your child to sit on floor because of it.

Apparently in Australia, it is more important for the beer to be safe in the car, while a child has to fend for himself!

An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car’s floor, police said Tuesday.

The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the car’s floor.

Hell, at least the child was on the floor! I remember as a kid, while on the family summer vacation my parents let me lay on back seat ledge under the rear window! Hell, every kid I knew did the same thing! How the times have changed. Either the parents of today are getting smarter, or back then the kids were just tougher!

Japanese call Aussies Racist! Vice calls Japanese Hypocrites

Vice is angry! Vice is pissed! Vice is baffled that there is still an abundance of overtly stupid people wasting our precious air!

The Japanese Whaling Industry has forgotten the golden rule of “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” They have released a video accusing Australia of being a racist nation because it opposes Japan’s “scientific whaling” charade. The video shows graphic images of dingoes and kangaroos being violently killed by Australian rednecks. Big news scoop here folks! Rednecks in every corner of every country in the world do fucked up things for fucked up reasons! Just ask Michael Vick! Does this make it right? Hell no, and it sure as hell doesn’t make Japan’s scientific whaling claim float either! Stupid hypocrites!!!

If Japanese treatment of animals is so noble and Australia’s is so bad, then maybe the Japanese can explain their penchant for their senseless, cruel and inhumane dolphin slaughter? Or how about their love of eating Sashimi, where the fish is still alive while they eat it? Check it out here. Note the glee and joy in the voices of the soon to be connoisseurs of the fish as they take great joy in watching the fish take it’s last gasps of air? Who’s the hypocritical racist now?

None of it is right. Animal cruelty is disgusting. But what makes it worse is when one side says “my animal cruelty is justified, and yours is not.” F——g hypocrites!

Humpbacks may be spared, but Minkes still in Japan,s harpoon sights

It’s reported that Japan is on the verge of taking the Humpback whale off the kill list during its slaughter in the Southern Ocean this year.

Thanks to a high-level diplomatic protest lead by Australia, the US Ambassador to Tokyo has revealed that Japan may agree to abandon the humpback kill because of the concerns. 50 Humpbacks will be spared if Japan comes to its senses, but what about the 900 Minke whales they still plan to slaughter? It would be very optimistic to think that Japan may develop a conscience and call off the entire “scientific” hunt, but we know that’s not going to happen any time soon.

The pressure can’t stop, because Japan has lowered their quota by 5%. The other 90% need to be protected as well.

At least Australia willing to stand up to “scientific whaling” by Japanese

The new Australian Government said they would, and they are going to do it. Kudos to Australia.

In a move that is angering the Japanese, the Australian’s are sending an armed fisheries patrol ship to monitor the Japanese “scientific” whaling fleet as it heads to the Antarctic to poach over 1000 whales this summer. It’s not the military, but close enough.

The Ocean Viking is used for customs and fisheries patrols. Aerial patrols will also be monitoring the situation as well. Japan has already threatened to send their Navy to shadow the Australian contingency. This move of course would only escalate an already absurd position taken by the Japanese.

When will Japan learn that commercial whaling is illegal. No ifs ands or buts. Japan’s scientific whaling is only their words for commercial whaling. Australia should be commended for standing up to Japan’s illegal whale poaching.

Japanese Whaling Mentality Finally Explained. They are Idiots!

I have asked and I have received an answer! They are idiots! How do I know this? Read on.

Japan wants Australia to help protect its whaling fleet from what it calls “environmental terrorism” as it kills humpbacks in the Southern Ocean this summer. Japan wants Australia to protect its whaling fleet during its illegal whale hunt! Right! Isn’t this the same as letting a convicted bank robber work at a bank? A convicted car thief work as a parking valet? A convicted shoplifter working as a store security guard? A convicted pedophile working at a children’s daycare? A convicted rapist working at a shelter for battered women?

It’s time for Japan to get a grip and realize they are alone in their illegal whale killing excursions every year. What happens in international waters to their fleet is their own responsibility. Maybe, just maybe they should realize that if their fleet stayed in port, they wouldn’t have to worry about what might happen on the high seas during their illegal “scientific whaling” expedition.

I am no way endorsing any type of “eco-terrorism,” but if you don’t do anything illegal, then what do you have to fear? Let’s make this perfectly clear. Japan’s whaling fleets are not on “scientific” missions. They are illegally poaching and killing whales for commercial purposes. Their “scientific” fleets are nothing more than floating meat processing boats. Their reasoning behind the processing of the poached whale blubber is to “fund” their scientific research.

Japan kills whales every year for commercial profit. This is an illegal activity, and should be treated as so. Help put an end to it here.

Tell Japan that enough is enough!
