Yes, anyone can go to Blogger, Xanga, MySpace or WordPress.org and get their very own blog free of charge.

A blog is for expressing whatever opinion or non-opinions as you see fit and as you wish…I guess unless someone’s paying you for not having an opinion, that’s something else entirely…

…But aren’t most things in life all about your opinion or the opinion of other people, simply repeated?

Good comment Ingrid. Have a great day!

Kimberly

It never ceases to amaze me how people will come to a website of another person, express their opinion and tell you it’s wrong for you, the owner and author of the blog, to have an opinion…

That’s what blogs are all about – a logged journal of whatever the author wants to talk about or say. It’s their “soap box”, if you will…

Everyone is free to start their own blog, free of charge…

Kimberly, just keep on doing what you’re doing. I think you’re fabulous, you’re informative and you genuinely care about animals and the goings on in the world.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Actually, since this is my blog, I can tell the stories I want and give helpful information too.

When I give opinions, I make it known it is my opinion. However, most of what I talk about here is fact from other resources too.

Thanks for coming by and giving your opinion Maddie.

Kimberly

Kimberly, my first comment to you, was not one of those rude ignorant comments in my opinion. maybe we have a different definition of anger. You did not appear to be one of those people so I did not talk ill about you, and I did not bring it in tha public forum where it was obvious you had not read back, I just wanted to personally fill you in on some of tha arguements against your points about being endangered. Im not sorry that you took that tha wrong way. I am sorry for the other things I said after. those were out of anger, because it seemed instead of challenging my theories about tha endangered whales not being hunted, (which you have since done), you first seemed to instead lash out in anger at me publically, exagerating, and not giving me a chance to defend myself. those rude sarcastic comments I make, are for tha ppl who dont bother to read back, even a little bit, and see what this persons opinions are. if you take them seriously and that makes you hate me. then that is fine. but for you to say that I joined that group to hate on you, and inject that I have nothing better to do then write you a one paragraph comment, (while wasting your time to make an entire blog about it venting about me.) I did not follow you around. you posted links. so should I have just let everyone but me follow them just to let you make points about things such as sarcastic comments leaving out what it was intended for? and lie (or unkowingly make accusations to back your play)? I dont mind being judged, but at least let me have my say. You are completely right Kimberly, you are not tha first person I have msgd. but you are tha first person that took it tha wrong way, and became what seemed to be completely hipocritical. you seemed more “furious” or “angry” then me. I dont normally send msgs unless tha person looks like they could hold a convo.. If I was angry or trying to insult you, I would have done it on tha wall where I normally do. Every other msg I’ve ever sent has normally bin replied to and answered with civil conversation. sometimes arguementative, but never angry. I want to hear what other ppl have to say so I can decide my own truths. I dont block it out because I love animals. My mind could be changed if I felt that someones arguement was real enough. I try to think as logically as I can, and I dont see whalers accidentally killing too many endangered species by accident. I am sure with technology today whalers are able to make a distinction between whats legal and illegal. after all it is their proffesion and I dont think it should be judge by someone because they watched a few greenpeace videos. with editing you can make something look however you want. in regards to that I appreciate that you let my comment through Kimberly. Once I noticed it had to be moderated I honestly thought you would reject it, because it seemed that you wanted to edit this story to make yourself look right. Im glad you at least will leave other people to make up their own minds.
you dont have to worry about me “following” you around. you will never personally hear from me again. you will however keep seeing my posts in that group if you stay there. dont take too many of them seriously, but I doubt you would have anyways. good luck with the direction you are moving. I sincerely hope you end up as an animal caretaker or something along those lines, because you do seem right for the job. you seem very passionate about animals which I think is a good quality to have.

Peace to all those that have to deal with tha killing and slaughter of animals, to provide for tha rest of us. it is a tremendous thing you are doing. may tha policing maintain and improve, and may tha methods become as less violent as possible. also Peace to all tha animal lovers that maintain sanctuaries for animals, away from predators. where we can help each other grow to evolve and understand one another. it is a tremendous thing you are doing. its what makes us different then them. You deserve praise, tha human race is not barbaric.

About the Facebook thing, talking about writing me an email was just an example of what you do…And…I know I’m not the only one you have emailed about this stuff either…so, no, it’s not just me, but people in general that you want to verbally joust with about the issue…

Not really sure why you joined the group, and I didn’t go and delve into pages and pages of comments on the wall, as most people don’t when they join a group. I read the first page and wrote a comment to support the cause…

No one said that people aren’t out there trying to protect these species of whales, as evidenced by over 25,000 people in that group alone…I believe there are some ships out there that follow the rules, but many that aren’t…

Back to the main point, which will be the ONLY thing I will comment on about this matter that got WAYYYY too far out of hand now…

I joined the group because I believe it’s important to save whales and dolphins. I think their slaughter is sad and needs to be policed…

Kimberly

Obviously, this is an extremely touchy subject…for which I’ve been being verbally attacked now…

I just don’t get it…

Kimberly

Not only that, he’s followed me around on YouTube making horrendous comments about me, that I couldn’t even utter here. Classy…really classy…

Yes, I eat fish, I eat seafood, and sometimes other meat too, but never if they are endangered.

No one was saying that the issue here wasn’t that there needs to be more policing and regulation. Yes, I believe that…

However, you attacked me simply because I thought it was “horrendous” what’s going on…

Also, if you take a look at his comments on the group since all of this ensued, from what I’m told because I have to block him everywhere I go now, he’s leaving all kinds of remarks that are completely ignorant to other people, not to mention saying things like, “whale hunting season, my favorite time of year” and something like, “kill them all…hahaha”…Come on…

I believe, whoever joins this group, or any other group to save animals for that matter, should be welcomed with open arms.

You don’t have to be a vegetarian or vegan to care about animals and want to save endangered species.

The real issue of why I said what I said from the beginning is because many whales and dolphins are being killed that are protected and it’s not policed…Whales don’t swim around with a huge “P” on their back so that everyone knows they’re a protected species…

Anyway, I’m in the group because I want to save whales and dolphins…You don’t have to agree with me on any other points, if you don’t want to…

However, Majin, the personal attacks must stop…it’s ridiculous…and you’re not proving any points here.

Also, even if you’re just joking, which who knows if you are, about punching your girlfriend, so not funny and a terrible analogy, if that is what it was…

If you are so “irritated” about everything, why not just find another group???

Kimberly

I am the “furious commentor” lol, (no need to protect me haha, Kimberly knows me as MAJIN.) now try to bear with me, because I am so completely infuriated mind you. I actually just punched my girlfriend out for no reason. I do that sometimes, just get violent for no reason thats why I lashed out at Kimberly in such “anger” haha cause everything I said was so angry, not just an argumentative opinion. (maybe a little forward but really, furious?)

She has tha nerve to go one step further and lie about me to try and make it look worse then it ever was or needed to be. She said I had nothing better to do then join this group to write on the wall and send her this “EVIL” (????) personal email (said tha one who had nothing better to do but let it ruin her day, and write an entire blog about it???lol). i had been a member of this group, long before Kimberly, not to mention the most constantly active member in the group, but she never even bothered to read back less then even 5 posts to see what had already been discussed. I didnt need to be a part of the group to msg her, but I was one anyways.

I dont argue that there is a lot we can still learn about whales or dolphins. But we are doing things. and a lot of ppl are neglecting to give credit to those who are out there helping those and all other species to better themselves. not all animals that become endangered is because of Human hunting. plenty have done themselves in or almost done themselves in until Humans stepped in to save them. If we only ate animals, and didnt study them to increase and evolve our own, and tha animals knowledge and personality then I might consider that more cruel. but we run sanctuaries all over this world where humans pay to admire and love these creatures.

If I thought it was that wrong to hunt and kill for food and clothing etc.. and I was fighting for it to stop. I wouldnt only fight for some animals. I wouldnt eat meat, period, but not kimberly. She will still show you how to prepare a delicious lobster meal on youtube, while maintaining an undying love for animals. that makes me sick, because just as the killing of whales is regulated, so is the killing of lobsters. but I guess that only whalers are abusing their rights as superior beings.

If I was say a meatarian, and I had some sort of belief that killing trees and plants was wrong, so I didnt eat vegetables, because I believed that it is more fair killing living organisms that were built able to defend themselves. If I felt that taking that precious HARMLESS life was more wrong then killing a cow or whale, that could at least have its own fighting chance for survival, that would be my perogative, but I wouldnt push my beliefs on you. and I dont hang out at sea world or marine land with picket signs in tha parking lot saying whales dont deserve to live. so dont show up at my dinner table saying you dont have to eat that to survive. because vegetarians dont have to eat what they eat to survive either. there are lots of alternatives for either of us to CHOSE.
