| Message | Whales are just like any other animals. If we feel free to slaughter cows, chickens, fish etc, then there's no overwhelming reason to have additional restrictions on whales. They are delicious after all. |

| Message | Actually a different one was defeated. It's a shame you had to come back, we were hoping your party would become inactive. |

| Message | Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. The fact that you said something like that shows just how messed up you are. |

| Message | As to your comment, why not come up with better arguments instead of insults followed by deflecting debates? The purpose is to persuade the parties to see your side. Childish insults do not do that. You being a lawyer should know this. Do you insult people who disagree with you in a courtroom? |

| Message | This bill proposes that whaling is legal with quotas. The former bill proposed allowed only scientific whaling. Quite different matey. Parties will not see our side. Parties are too stubborn and ruled by emotional "oh whales are so cute and smart, we can't kill them" ideas to see reason. There is no point trying. |

| Message | And then there is no point to proposing bills if you do not try. All this does is waste this Council's precious time. |

| Message | There is plenty of point. We highlight the issue to the public. |

| Message | As I said, stop wasting our time with needless bills without debate. |
