    I make it a point not to engage with ignorant people. Especially when they condescendingly try to enlighten me on mine own culture.

    Try whaling.fo, but note that I won’t discuss it further with you when you have selectively gathered and the information that confirms your bias.

      Thanks for the information. Even though your source looks as biased as mine, at least I have contradictory information to make my mind on the matter.

      I’m not trying to enlighten anyone on their culture, I respect all cultures but we need to weed out, or at the very least reform, cruel traditions and practices and that’s not limited to Faroese whaling or bullfighting.

      It’s a good thing that whaling has been heavily reformed in the past few years, and it’s also aiming to lessen the suffering of the animals.

        I’m not going to claim that it’s not biased. But it is factual.
