tkoind2, I agree. Trade between China and Taiwan has avoided disaster, as an example. Scholarships to poor immigrants in the UK has also empowered them.

Everyone is entitled to a personal fetish, and he can go and buy some and use them in the privacy of his own home. But this is invasion of privacy and worse. Already leaving the scene of a crime, trespass, and sexual assault...3 years I would give him.

Buddhism is a good business to be in in Japan. Nice car, house, allowance and all the sencha and cakes you can eat.

But war provides jobs(arms industry) and financial opportunities (Aso's family in WW2, Japans economy in Korean War, Hallibarton), as well as resources like oil. Changing the minds of people(Communist witch trials, islamphobia) help people forget about how bad their life is. Charles Taylor started with 200 men trained in Libya, Osama probably the same...except we created him, and we have also made him an incredibly popular anti-hero. The lesson from Vietnam is not to invade countries, rather use trade, education etc. USSR was not beaten by bombs...that is a better lesson.

Are you serious? Modern subways and train stations have railings and some have automatic doors. Are you in South Dakota?

You obviously don't understand the Taliban mantra. US had intelligence(or are you suggesting they just bomb civilians for fun?) and most likely did it to get him angry so he would do something stupid and reveal himself. If it was murder, where is the inquiry?

Maybe a good way to practice Japanese. 3000 an hour in a school, 4950 on the high seas...with refreshments!

Was she carring an AK and planning an attack? Come-on, a Taliban wife was stuck in the house cooking and cleaning = war crime!

Crusaders at it again. Supporting a puppet government(unelected) while the majority have no choice.

Hope people don't confuse them with schoolboys who get their heads shaved for being late to school.

The lesson...we lost and killed millions of civilians. Also our aim was to smash Communism. Does this mean this war is to crush Islam? Crusaders in foreign lands...

Yeah, I was wondering...does he have to pay? I think it is about time for railings on platforms. Amazing it doesn't happen more often.

"is about par for the course"? Are you shrugging off these despicable atrocities. As someone who was drugged and almost raped myself, the effects of such actions last far longer than the incident itself.

And the armed robbery getaway vehicle was a...bicycle? Don't J-kids watch American cop shows?

These "scumbags", who brought stability and peace to the country after decades, and banned heroin production(which decays western youth), are unfortunately, Afghan citizens. Do you propose wiping out half the population and converting the rest to Christianity?

Russia won't do that until they can figure out how not to shoot down it's own planes.

Ban guns. In the more sensible UK, I hear you are not allowed to carry a knife, but we carry guns?

"deport the families of the convicted." There is only one country that I know of that regularly practices collective punishment.

“If you don’t come outside, I’m going to break the door down.” What happened to I will huff and puff and blow the door down? People these days are ready to use their fists these days. Back to blowing please.

Posted in: A Japanese government advisory panel has proposed lowering the adult age to 18 from 20. What do you think about it? See in context

Is this politically motivated-to gain votes from the younger generation? Otherwise, this is great news. 18 and 19 year-olds are much wiser in the technology age. Opps, I didn't mean wiser, more informed.
