The American car makers can’t complain about sales here. For decades they said the Japanese government makes it impossible to sell cars here.
As for Ford…my neighbor loved her Ford Focus, but as soon as they closed down operations here she had to sell it because of lack of support for the company.
Aldo look at what they’ve selling. Most people don’t want to drive a humongous truck/SUV with left handed steering. If they made products for this market they could make boatloads of money…maybe not.
The dollar is too strong.

To the people posting about draconian punishment for this particular crime.
Stop acting so damn righteous. Yes this guy did something that could have killed multiple people but no one was seriously injured or killed. 10 years sounds appropriate.
You guys…the way you sound you’d give someone 6 moths in prison if somebody got caught speeding or running a red light.

Yes it’s murder but damn…the guy is 80 years old. I’m sure that this man will go to his grave knowing he killed his wife is punishment enough.

Posted in: Man on trial for child prostitution, arrested for allegedly having sex with 14-year-old girl See in context
The guy is absolutely disgusting no doubt but I'm also wondering...where were the victims parents?
I raised 2 daughters here and me and the ex made absolutely sure they weren't interacting with loons here. Honestly, I think the parents are partially at blame here...you can't keep a eye on your kids 24/7 but you can keep your eye on them when they least expect it (in their eyes). That's when you catch them doing something possibly shady or doing something that will put them in harms way.

I lost my brother about 5 months ago. If there is a afterlife we will have conversations with him there...im not going to waste my time with a fake.
And I don't want any of my loved ones having 'fake' conversations with a fake AI version of me me when I'm gone...and if there's a afterlife and they tell me that they were interacting with a AI version of me, there will be a problem

I didn't see todays match but I saw yesterdays vs Gremany. As usual the atheletes here won't take chances. They play the 'don't lose' strategy instead of play to win.

I don’t think I have what it takes to complete at the world level yet,” Of course you're not ready for the majors, but after two or three years in the minors you will be. 8 to 10 years of Japanese Baseball = dead arm.
So true...
