Yeah and us humans aren't causing a bit of trouble for this planet. Plenty of whales, plenty of everything, including plenty more human mouths to feed. Lost in these responses (as is the OP) are the OPs original comments; that Watson is "endangering the human race" and that if it persists "we will only be able to dive in swimming pools". Nothing fanatical/radical there. And of course calling those whom you object to "a bunch of smelly, incompetant hippies" is a very objective approach to solidfying one's own arguments. It'll zing 'em for sure. (To heighten the impact you might add "nanner, nanner".)
Saying that far more whales were killed simply because the Japanese were harassed by Watson at least moves this thread to an ultimate absurdity. It's a bit like saying criminals commit more crime because the police try to stop them.
I know, Watson isn't a policeman and he has no international authority for doing what he does, just his own wobbly moral compass. It surprises me though that anyone who dives in this blue planet's oceans would be ok with whaling. Objecting to a group's approach I understand but jeez, taking whales because they are "nowhere near endangered" ? Dive while you can gang, I'm suspecting this grand old planet is getting it's fill of all of us. // ww
