Nintendo really could not care less what GreenPeace has to say. I also find this environmentalism amusing. Mankind & the environment cannot co-exist. Deal with it.

I agree with everything you say, except that Nintendo probably would prefer good PR over 'bad' PR, I don't find environmentalism all that amusing, and I think it's impossible for mankind and the environment to not co-exsist.

^^I can't speak for Greenpeace because I don't know much about their anti-whaling practices, but the Sea Shepherd practices do not involve killing people.  

Assuming they are hurting people, what would you do to poachers then?  Allow them to continue what they're doing because their lives are more valuable?  They're hunting illegally.  

Leave them to the authorties to prosecute their laws how they see fit.

Fair enough.

I personally believe the authorities can't handle it.  Too many get away with it so I'm glad there are organizations out there trying to intervene.  

So you're of the opinion that ramming one boat into another and putting tons of lives at risk is less of a crime then whale poaching?

Or is it that your for more illegal activities if they "scare" other people from doing illegal things.

1. Greenpeace doesn't interfere with whaling by ramming their boat into the whaling ships.  This doesn't even make sense.  Why would they do that?  They'd put their whole crew at risk.  If it did happen before, it must have been an accident.  

2. There are not tons of lives involved.  Not that many people are on a whaling ship.  This doesn't mean killing people is okay as long as it's just a few.  I just wanted to point that out.

3. Unnecessary whale slaughtering can drive already declining species to extinction.  (This depends on the species of course).

 

 

 

then what are all of these eco terrorism jackasses doing here:

"Greenpeace was protesting against one of the boat's sponsors, the Areva group, a world leader in the nuclear energy sector."

 

http://rinf.com/alt-news/activism/greenpeace-boats-enter-g8-exclusion-zone/442/

"The activists - a mixture of anarchists, environmentalists and students - charged police determined to hold their line in front of the last security barrier before the town."

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/3028061/Yachting-Protesters-ram-French-boat.html

"France's America's Cup team, le Defi Areva, have started legal proceedings against Greenpeace in the wake of Saturday's damage inflicted on the newly launched FRA-69 when the cup yacht was rammed by a protester's boat."

How technical is your game?

My whole impression of Nintendo fans is turned upside-down. Seems they're more like Bowser and Wario, than Mario and Peach. Wholly unexpected.

deja vu, have i gone back in time a year?

Nintendo, as did Apple, lost points not because they have bad environmental policy, but because they do not give infomation to Greenpeace. If a company does not provide Greenpeace with the info, GP counts it as if they fail to meet the standards

Exactly.  Kinda like "my client declines to answer" in a court of law.  Silence means angelic behavior, of course.  All those other companies are just trolling for good PR.  Its Nintendo who <3 Earth.

Straw man much?

 

My argument - If you have no infomation, you cannot just assume the worst

Your interpretation of my argument - If you have no infomation, you can assume the best

 

I'm sorry, but I shall not be responding to your post any more than that. Re read my point, and if you correctly interpret what I am saying, then I shall respond

I'm speaking for myself when I say Nintendo <3 Earth, man.  You don't believe they do?  For shame.
