Whale saves drowning diver

Stuff that's on Current Tonight doesn't get a sticker because then the whole site would be full of them. That's just my guess, though.

Thanks for the heads up on that lvp. I don't think Upstream or Webmash come on my Current channel in Texas because I cannot find the shows. I would love to watch them.
I think you must be right about that Nettle. A few of my other posts have been on Upstream and/or Webmash, I was informed about it via email, but those posts don't have On TV stickers either.
Thanks to both of you.

@Nettle

I'm not so sure about that. There was a lot of pink if I recall correctly when the Current News was still on.

*shrug* I could be wrong.

I'm interested to find out how it works. thanks again lvp :)

OK I figured it out. It only aired on TV in the UK so that's why the Picked for TV sticker is present on the UK side of Current.com.

I also saw it on Current Tonight last night! In the USA!

My parrot was able to speak. I still cooked that fucker faster than hell when he sliced my finger open.

oh, Nettle. Noooooo. ewwww. :)

Hello Numinant- precondition? This isn't a precondition. This is merely a demonstration of ability that we hope is being paid attention to. We humans vary a great deal in smarts; it's logical to assume whales are no different.

So we're not setting some kind of bar to be surpassed, merely acknowledging instead, that the potential is there and we should recognize that. Yes?

You're reading a bit much into that.

By that reasoning, we should let babies fend for themselves.

We ought to protect animals without preconditions.

Well, actually the US isn't. Or, at least, it's prohibited.

Japan is another matter. Whether they're hunting this particular species I don't' know. But hunt they are. GreenPeace is having a say in that. They've been harassing the whalers for a good while and are continuing. They have a newly remodeled vessel to use this year. That thing is awesome !! But will this cut down on the Japanese being able to order whale sushi? News at 11.

If they harvest Mila they're going to piss me off.

It's just an animal. It may have saved a human life, but so have horses, Dolphins, and dogs. They won't be deserving of choice until someone fulfills David Brin's idea and gives them Uplift.

NOT DESERVING??????? My God Xom what in hell do you need? Here you have an "animal" that humans have put in cage that none the less figured out for herself to save a "human" life," That's called compassion - on the most basic scale one can view it.

Are you as stupid as your post indicates?

Do you think they could be a people like you?

Sure do. All that's lacking is communication. If they're not as smart as we are; well, we can deal with that, can't we? Just because they don't see the "big picture" does that make them meat? Would you enjoy the slaughter house from the inside?

"I think in celebration they should eat the whale."

haha. no really they should

wtf, why the hell would you a whale that saves your life.wat hell is wrong with you?

Geez, Sean. It was a joke.

A humorless joke.

...sadly true

It's not redundant for those of us who didn't know what it meant, but it was certainly poorly phrased.

not all of us know what freediving is, and you meant to say "superfluous" not "redundant."

thank him/her for the post, dont criticize trivial details

One, I like folks that say what they think.

Thumbs Up !!

No I didn't write the article, or choose to capitalize the words. Just a happy poster. So no worries and thank you for checking out my post and responding :)

ter-

it's constructive criticism. Get over it.

Onemale-

good catch!

you have relatives in Texas one male fla? I know another famous Floridian who does, similar philosophy.

sorry-- couldn't resist. I actually appreciate your spunk.

all animals are smarter than we think... except maybe texans, and ardvarks... fuck ardvarks.

LMAO

I don't think humans are as smart as we think. Which is why "animals" pale in comparison.
