25 years since Rainbow Warrior terrorist bombing

Fuck you France.

[David]

See, not to have the unpopular opinion again..

But seriously, Fuck Greenpeace.

They're a bunch of muck raking scum who don't actually care about adding to the solutions, they simply want as much press and publicty as possible - ala Whaling, ala logging in the Clayoquat logging, ala any fucking issue where they're invited to the table to give ideas on how to solve it and never actually join in the discussions cause they'd much rather have the publicity and get a series of stupid house wives to send them in more and more money.

[Redneck]

Why post that here?

[David]

Why not?

Greenpeace orientated thread.

[Redneck]

No, state-sponsored terrorism oriented thread

I still can't believe it. Foreign intelligence agents---from France, ffs, FRANCE, for whom Kiwi soldiers fought and died in WWI and WWII---came here and blew up a ship, and killed a man in the process. The only thing more upsetting is how we were basically abandoned in the aftermath by our so-called allies, and how France forced us to roll over.

Yup, what Ab said.

Of course they want press. The more press they get, the more public awareness there is, the more people will want things to change.

It's OK to blow up a ship with people on board as long as they are tree hugging hippies, right?

Fuck you France, fuck you right in your ass!

[David]

You're right, the ship being blown up and the loss of human life sucked - especially when it was state sponsored with French spies.... however, that's the reaction when a ship like that gets bolshy.

Earthrace anyone?

[Redneck]

Only when dealing with cowardly scum like francois mitterand
