Posted in: Smokers less than 20% of Japanese population for 1st time: report See in context

Pumped up their efforts - what a bunch of baloney! With smoker numbers continuing to dwindle, one would think the government would do more than making pumped up efforts. Actions people, actions.

Delonghi bean-to-cup semiautomatic machine at home. Hands down.

Mass shootings, cops shooting civilians, civilians shooting cops, kids shooting each other - enough is enough. A terrible state of affairs in the U.S.

No wonder Old Navy is closing - totally uninspiring clothes. I'd only buy GAP clothes on sale - never pay full price.

Round up all yakuza, mafia, finks, comancheros, etc - drop them on a deserted island and let them have it out. Hopefully it can lead to their demise.

Sorry, but the U.S. is crossed off my list of destinations to visit. Absolutely absurd that such acts take place with the frequency in which it is happening.

Posted in: 3 killed, 9 wounded in shootout at Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado See in context

But if only the police had guns, what's that - they did have guns? How many mass shootings this year in the U.S. - far too many, and the year has one month left.
