Well, I've been called quite a few things before but never a suck-up.
Still, opinions vary. As for calling you a tool, well, you've waved a few red rags around and done a bit of name calling prior to me chiming in. It (a) probably wasn't going to do anything for this audience, who love a pile-on at times and (b) sounded tool-like, and (c) you are a kiwi after all.
F*cking rugby...thanks a lot

LOL , no offence intended Priest! By the way what way do you side on this issue ? Yeah , it was getting overly personal , I hold no animosity to any one here though just a different opinion </div></div>
Mate, I'm anti-whaling when it comes to the way the Japanese do it (lying wankers), and I'm against commercial whaling. I'm for traditional whaling (per the Inuit, minus the 50cals).
On that front, I'm against any harvesting practice that isn't sustainable in the long run. Good examples have been raised here about blue-fin tuna, as well as shark (finning), long line and drift net 'fishing' and anyone who kills a dolphin is just a mongrel dog IMHO. Last time I saw footage of the Japanese herding and slaughtering them, I wanted to jump into the TV set with a 240B. Anyway, emotion aside, I think it's pretty commonly accepted that there is a serious problem with over-fishing worldwide, and if people keep it up or keep encroaching into the waters of other states to sustain their unsustainable business, it won't be long until push will come to shove.
As for 'land operations', if you want to keep hunting in the long run, it pays to be a conservationist first. For example, removing predators may sound like a great idea to some but then they pay at the back end when deer populations, etc. explode and do even more damage to agriculture. It's a pretty fine balance to be struck and there is lot of emotion around the subject. Personally, I'll shoot feral pest animals as fast as I can throw the bolt and I also shoot roos during periodic culls. I don't shoot deer, because there are none to be had here where I live, and it's not my thing really, so I'll leave that to others. So it goes.
