What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
Please stop make up story about me. When did I against regulation of the shark fin industry? I have said many times and will say it again. I am all for shark fishing and against shark finning. It's up to the government to regulate the product, not me.

If you say so.... however, it's an "either... or" situation, Mr. TC. It's like you can't wear a skirt and a pant at the same time (on a normal occasion). If you're AGAINST shark finning, you prove it by NOT being a consumer of that product.
So, you have highlighted to us that you're a hypocrite or something? Do you think the judge would let a murderer scott-free when he tells the judge "I'm against killing"?

Canada is against shark finning so it doesn't allow such product entering the country just like conflict (blood) diamond. Therefore, I can assume that the product I consume is from shark fishing which is totally legal. I get the shark fin from stores with licences, not illegally from the back alley. It just like people who buy diamond from the jewelry stores with licence, they can assume the diamond is not conflict (blood) diamond because their government do not allow such product entering the country.
Ken, Pandamao, Cedric and xJadedx, don't you guys think people like Yao Ming and Al Gore are hypocrite?? Yao Ming asking chinese people not to consume shark fin while he served it on his wedding day. Al Gore asking average Americans to make sacrifice for the common good while he use 20 times as much energy as average Joe and Jane.
You guys here love to bully people who do not agree with you isn't it. Jezzzzz
Keep changing my avatar and quote against my will. People with authority here don't do anything about it.
You guys keep talking about justice and morality, where are they??

I don't know anything about Yao Ming's stance on shark fins, but if what you say about him is true, then of course he's a hypocrite. But the real question is, what does him being a hypocrite have anything to do with anything? You keep missing the point that people here are against shark finning and consumption of shark fin soup because of their concern for the ecosystem as well as their disgust at shark finning, not because of what a celebrity does or doesn't do. Yet you keep brining up the same celebrities over and over again, even though it's redundant and irrelevant.
No one is bullying you (except maybe for Cedric's post, which I agree is uncalled for), most people are clearly stating their disagreements. This is a debate forum, people are allowed to disagree. If you can't take it, don't dish it.
As for your avatar and quote changes, I have no idea what's going on with those. If you're trolling, then stop because it's pathetic. If it's indeed done by a moderator, then I also agree that's uncalled for and just plain stupid.
Because I'm somewhere in between,
My love and my agony.
Maybe. But that has no bearing on what I do.
I didn't know about this until now, but I'll find out.You guys here love to bully people who do not agree with you isn't it. Jezzzzz

And, may I add (to Jadey's post below): TC, if your concern is about the mass supporters of anti-sharkfin consumers are zombies who are blinded/brainwashed by the assuming hypocrite celebrities endorsers, let's just say that not all of us are that simple-minded enough to merely buy words told by the celebrities endorsing the campaign. People have their own brains, and people observe.
TC, I can assure you that those, who are overthrowing your points, are not among the zombies outthere.I don't know anything about Yao Ming's stance on shark fins, but if what you say about him is true, then of course he's a hypocrite.

Ok. In which post? I can offer my apologies if they were.Originally Posted by Jadey
It's...... *sigh* about NOT eating shark fin as a whole, whether they're legal or not. Apparently, you still didn't get it. Or, are you finding excuses because you want to EAT the sharkies ultimately? I do not think the names you've mentioned and all the environmentalists are so evil that they prefer the human species to extinct before the sharks do?!
In plain words, dear TC, No matter what source or how these shark fin are harvested and made into soup, consumption of it will contribute to the effect of the whole eco-system to fall to its doom because sharks, are afterall, the Godfathers of the aqua clan. And, I don't give a damn which celebrity endorsed the campaign, because I, as a living person, sees the complete death of shark will happen as such activities go on.
A) I believe like an anti-smoking campaign (for example), the ambassadors may be asked for a background check to be done on them before they're eligible to endorse for that campaign.Ken, Pandamao, Cedric and xJadedx, don't you guys think people like Yao Ming and Al Gore are hypocrite?? Yao Ming asking chinese people not to consume shark fin while he served it on his wedding day. Al Gore asking average Americans to make sacrifice for the common good while he use 20 times as much energy as average Joe and Jane.
B) From which source did you find out that those "endorsers" are hypocritical mofos? (I might have missed your massive discovery) How reliable are they?
C) If your discovery were true, I would have read about you all over the news. TC aka The Chosen One exposed the celebrities and claimed they are a massive bunch of hypocrites of the 20th century. But I don't think it's happening?
No, but the truth is, people who tried so hard to protect/preserve something gets very maddened when some selfish mofos shamelessly keep wasting on the other hand.You guys here love to bully people who do not agree with you isn't it. Jezzzzz

Bully you? I don't have that capability. It just so happens that more people get on you because you made a load of claims in defence of your selfish needs.
As for your avatar, must be the act of some evil spambots or hackers sent by Yao Ming, Al Gore, David Suzuki, and other environmentalists. They had overtaken SPCNET. The moderators in SPCNET would be doing you a favour if you would simply ask them for help.

TC - I'm sure you are sick of people making responses solely to your points but since you mentioned my name, I felt the need to make a response.
Please stop taking this personal. There's no argument that a few of us dislike your rebuttals from these debates. If you can provide hard facts, there wouldn't be an issue here.
From these arguments, I came to the following conclusions on where you stand and why you remain there.
1) Due Diligence performed by TC (ex: I purchase from licensed buyers in Canada.)
That's better than the average person residing in asian countries, however, I find your behavior rather contradictory. If you take the step in buying from a license suppliers then I'm assuming you agree with the cruelty in the shark finning industry. Why are you so against other countries commenting on the Chinese traditions and perhaps a suggestion of intervention as well? By no means are the US controlling their culture. This is simply a matter of, the decrease in the shark population affects surrounding areas ecosystem.
2) Refusal to follow hypocrites
TC - obviously everyone has mentioned this to you but you keep going back at it. I responded with, "Do as I say but don't do as I do." That's it. If you want to allow yourself this excuse to justify your consumption - fine. Please add to your list: lying, stealing, killing, etc. There are celebrities that are hypocrites in those areas too.
3) Americans should not tell Chinese what to do.
I believe there's an inherit frustration with this particular Chinese tradition and given the negative outcomes caused by this - the Americans felt it was needed to step up and voice their opinion.
Sometimes a little intervention can do some good.
Hatred is a curve blade. The harm we do to others, we also do to ourselves.
i tell you, some ppl argue for the sake of arguing.

OT: Trien, I've checked with my fellow moderators and as far as we can tell, nobody that we know about is messing with your avatar/signature.
Is there anyone you know who has access to your computer/password? If your password is compromised, you'll need to change it.
Email SPCNET (the administrator) directly if nothing else works.
