i also have similar opinion to this article. essentially he got elected cause people are fed up with professional politicians. the balance of power between the three branches of government should prevent him from doing anything really stupid. what i'd really like to know is how many of the people now protesting "not my president" were protesting that trump would refuse accept the results of the voting if he lost (which he didn't really say, i believe he said that he would decide when the time comes)?

the message from the cast is not disrespectful and they are entitled to express their opinions but on the other had they are being paid to perform not express opinions and should do so on their own time and forum.

its a bit arrogant of the committee to expect someone to thank them for something he didn't ask for.

Concealed weapons permits would have prevented situations such as these.

??? how? are you trying to say that if he had a permit to carry the knife, he wouldn't have slashed her?

agreed

they are breaking the law to enter the country. i don't see what's the problem.

hard to say what should be done when there has been no study on the costs / feasibility of any of the options. although personally i think option 1 as the original has some tourist value, i would vote for whatever gives the most bang for the buck.

cons: somebody will not be getting their kick-back money from construction of a new facility.

notwithstanding that the organizers take no account of the athletes' opinion, i am happy to have it stay if the organizers agree all costs in excess of the original estimate will be borne out of the organizers' pockets, and not tokyo's. no problem since they say it will cost less.

much better than i expected....

death is not the penalty for speeding but if the perp stopped then this would not be news. it was totally with his control. the police were only doing their job, enforcing the law. if he was speeding away from a triple ax murder or running over a crosswalk full of kids, i wonder if people would continue to say that police should have stopped chasing him?

activist use "political correctness" as a club to crush opposing freedom opinions and speech.

build a base on the islands before the chinese do.

thing is after this policy, i understand that drug dealers have been turning themselves in in droves....

actually its common for police to be called off hot pursuit cause they get blamed for putting pressure on the driver and causing them to drive dangerously. i.e. if you didn't chase me i wouldn't have driven so fast and got out of control and killed that person...stupid if you ask me.

even if implemented, the problem with the "third arrow" is that it would only be aimed at the commercial sector and not the government itself...

i switched to vaping because as they say with cigs its the nicotine that hooks you and tar that kills you. while admittedly vaping is not good for you, it not as bad for you than cigs. there are apparently over 4000 chemical compounds given off by burning tobacco which has been treated with chemicals, 43 carcinogenic. the ingredients in vape are glycerin, an organic compound found in vegetables, propylene glycol, which is used in things like asthma inhalers, nicotine and small amounts of flavoring. while there are studies that say that vape does give off carcinogens, it varies between vape juice brands and the amount of heat applied, they are no where near the amount given off by cigs.i suspect that they come from the flavoring as the by product of the glycerin and propylene glycol is water vapor

and obama says this while he protects a criminal. obviously comey laid out the evidence and refused to recommend indictment of hilary under the statute that requires "intent", he says nothing about the statutes that do not require intent. obviously he was ordered not recommend and was covering his ass.

wonder what the wxr will look like?

the whole electoral college thing is a farce to rig elections to come out like the politicians want it to come out anyway.

the problem is that insurance only pays for approved treatments which are quite old tech. if you want the latest greatest, insurance pays nothing.

Transport Ministry and Tokyo Metropolitan Government officials met with municipal government representatives on July 28 to gain their approval. Specific measures to alleviate the noise problem were not discussed.

so the residents get screwed. notice that they don't fly over chiyoda-ku (imperial palace)...

well, seems to have worked. brawl ended didn't it?

while the individual athletes may or may not deserve to be punished (they are responsible for what they put in their own bodies), what other punishment is there when the cheating is state sponsored?

it all get's paid for one way or another so...

yes, but not in its current form with professional politicians who are only interested in staying in power.

china should establish a missile base on the senkakus. then no need to scramble.

paying the fine is like paying traffic tickets or taxes, governments have guns so its always pay first then prove that you didn't own it.

japanese morals have declined cause they have to compete with the koreans!

that being said, korean cars are quite good nowadays.

sorry but cycles are not pedestrians and do not belong in pedestrian space. they are vehicles and belong on the road and should be subject to all rules of the road, i.e. stopping at lights, not using keitai, not going against flow of traffic, tickets for violations.

choosing to leave in an orderly manner is better that having to scramble when the EU collapses anyway...
