I support the Japanese, and the others should have just a little more respect for Japan's culture.
Notice how many folks that oppose whaling want to force their western/ethical supremacist/monocultural ideas upon the Japanese?
I don't give a crap 'bout stupid ass whales anyway.

Neither country in any way needs to whale; they just have a domestic market for whale meat and don't want to knuckle to Greenpeace. If sale or trade of whale products harvested for "scientific" purposes was banned, you'd probably see Japanese "research" whaling disappear within a couple years at the most.
Cultural supremacism, eh? What makes your ideas better or morally superior to theirs?
