\"promptly rammed and sunk by a Japanese whaling ship\" Why not say: \"Sunk after a collision with a whaling ship\" and leave your bias out of it?

"very distasteful, gross, excessive" Or none of the above - it's unquestionably a thing of beauty.

Paul, that\'s not \"bias\", that\'s an accurate description of an historical event. Would you have the attack on Pearl Harbor be described as \"the clash of forces at Pearl Harbor\" instead?

What a beautiful hunk of indulgence, needs a heliport to escape marauding Japanese pirates though. Yeah, alcaide, that was one miracle for the dark side. That 18-knot, 628DWT trawler and her crew of crusty Japanese tars hunted down that 78-foot wave-piercing trimaran powered by two 540hp Cummins MerCruiser Diesel engines on the open seas and when their water canons couldn't sink it, they spun around and rammed it in cold blood. Even with Sea Shepard's great PR operation and most of world opinion on their side, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority doesn't agree with your rewrite of facts.

Well, I realize it was the SeaShepherd video I have seen instead of the Japanese whaling video version, but it sure looked to me like the Ady Gil was out of fuel and a sitting duck, out of the path of the Japanese ship, and that Japanese ship turned ever so slightly right into it. Some accident. Can\'t understand how authorities or anyone else can see something right before their eyes and declare it simply \"a collision\"...

The Ady Gil on Whale Wars, did not appear to perform that well.
@Keith Reeder funny, pick one or the other, lol

Why not, so many people are full of themselves, I appreciate the hard and innovative work. While it it is a concept, I am sure it will see some changes.
