How do you reconcile your two statements?

“The rest of the world is just sitting by because the do not care and have no interest in pissing off Japan”

“I do and so do a majority of the people. (Dispute the law allows for the harvesting whales for scientific purposes)”

Does the world not care or do the majority dispute the law?

You won’t have any objection to farm raised whale or free range whale burgers then? If Costco starts selling them will you quit in protest?
