All the politics and emotions aside, using a laser in this manner is highly illegal. There are some non-lethal lasers that exist, but those are things that requires a lot of EOF knowledge and training. The laser pictured is clearly more than the presumed 2M rating… it looks a lot more like a 3B or most likely higher. Whomever was using that laser needs to be arrested. This is no different than when some nut case points a laser at a landing aircraft. If you don’t like who’s on the plane, is that supposed to justify craching the plane? Obviously not! If the claim is that the Japanese are illegally whaling, but then the opposition performs illegal activities to counter, that make no one side better than the other. Lasers are not toys. If someone were to point a laser at me in this manner, I would immediate fire back with lethal force, and I am talking large-bore ordnance.

Nice racist rant.

Too bad they aren’t defying international law.

Your right. There isn’t another country in the world that would allow their boats to be attacked. But there also isn’t another country in the world that is so blantantly defying international law and slaughtering whales for food. FOR FOOD! Don’t you Nips eat enough stuff? Have a sea cucumber sandwich with some poorly cut fugu and shut the hell up.

Wow,some of you need to look up the definition of racism?

You might be ashamed of yourself, your inplying that all Japanese hunt, kill, and eat whales. And using unflattering terms.

Sad too, everyone cheers the escalation but that will end in tragedy oneday.

I am predicting that at some point, someone will die – Whaler or Anti-Whaler? a life will be lost, and it wont matter what side. Worse case a ship will sink, with many lives lost.

Violence to support a cause – has never worked!

I used to think it was cool to run up in a Zodiac throw stinky shit on baord, shield whales with the zodiac, but now, its getting to a point where the intent on both sides is to damage one another ships, it only takes one whole to sink a ship, and 10 minutes in that water to die?

Hey look who’s talking. You’re not even ‘brave’ enough to use your real name. And lets remember that Japan has the laser technology to melt ships. The feeble Shepherd can at best play with a toy laser.

The beam of green 20mW lasers are not typically daylight visible.

Examples of 20mw laser pointers

Couldn’t find that laser genetics one but most of the site’s simulated photos are at night.

At night we use 5 mW lasers for astronomy so a 20 mW should work well for signaling. What’s seen looks a lot brighter. 95 mW or higher. At a guess 200 mW since there’s a nice waterproof one that’s been popular.

“Great to see Japan taking a harder line, but still pathetic that Japan has not yet militarised this abysmal situation.

Pray, Michael, can you think of any other reason why they (the Australian Navy, [clarification]) might be avoiding a military confrontation with Japan? Hmm?I’ll give you a little hint… It starts with “O” and ends with “BLITERATION”.

Today I am utterly ashamed of my country. Ashamed because it allows these crimes to be perpetrated upon its citizens and for not offering a military response to these acts of terrorism.”

These are your un-edited comments Hideyoshi. You, yourself have advocated violence, so how about climbing off your high horse. As far as “I have accounted for your every logical fallacy and exposed your tremendous hypocrisy.” no, you really haven’t. You have put your own singular spin on the issue. Don’t get me wrong, as a fellow literate, I think you are doing a fairly good job. But, your post of December 17, 2009 at 7:23 pm ruined your credibility:

“3. You say it takes 20 mins to kill a whale. You are factually mistaken. The IWC stated that in 80% of cases, death for whales was INSTANTANEOUS. The idea of a lengthy and painful death is just another lie from issued by the eco-terrorism industry.”

“4. You say whales are capable of feeling pain, fear, despair and remorse. This is completely without scientific foundation. You simply arrived at this bizarre conclusion through a process of anthromorphism – that is, projecting human qualities upon animals.”

I could have copy/pasted your entire post as it was all in the same ridiculous vein, but the moderator probably would take issue (for those who haven’t seen it, “Sea Shepherd And Japanese Whalers Engage In Water Gun Fight”.) The point being, you are a spin artist. And that is your right. But don’t think that you are on some higher level. Some of us on the other side are literate too.
