Re: [OT] Whales for lunch (was PESO - Jump)
Maybe so, but it's not sustainable. 40 or so years ago people were saying There's plenty of fish in the sea. Well there isn't now. Just because there are a lot of whales now, doesn't mean there always will be. You talk to anyone who is involved in commercial fishing. Wild fish stocks are in decline, fishermen are having to travel further further to make a catch. All the while they're having to pay more on fuel getting paid less for the catch. I'm not saying whaling is right or wrong, but it's always dangerous when people talk is if the supply of natural resources is bottomless pit.

Re: [OT] Whales for lunch (was PESO - Jump)
In principle I agree, but the problem around here (one of our main incomes is from fish) is that the increasing number of whales and seals is also hurting the amount of fish in the sea. So, the natural balance has been shifted by us long ago and now we have to control all parts to provide a sustainable population of both fish, whales and others.

The golden hills we see here in California are actually the result of the out of control spread of certain type feed/hay that was used to feed cows that used to be all over these hills. People got used to it and now think it is normal. That goes back all the way to the influx of the Spaniards and haciendas. But actually the original California hills were probably a lot greener, covered with native grasses that were drought resistant. In some places those native grasses have planted as decoration now. So of return to nature sort of thing. I award Dag 10 points for successfully diverting people away from the initial question, whether he should warn people or not about photos of nude children.
