There are those who put forward their views and there are those who diametrically oppose the views as a matter of course. Just can't help themselves.

Golly, Kim's tailors must shake in their boots when he orders clothes- a mammoth undertaking by any stretch. (excuse the pun)

Those commanders look like a delegation from an aged care home.

Trump and the word "smart" are at either end of the intellect scale.

@ Jik7Y 9.44am "Especially the women voters'

Because the patriarchal attitude of their husbands will tell them who to vote for irrespective of the potential and quality of the womwn candidates.

Police officer apprenhended by victim of crime - makes a refreshing change.

Obviously had a stressful day at the office, (the local precinct Izakaya) and needed to brush up on his javelin (bike) throwing, assault and sprinting skills.

Failed to achieve a pass mark in any of the disciplines.

Absolutely correct. It only acts as a forum for the usual love/hate comments of regular posters.

Suited his agenda to post and then delete. Childish comments from a child.

Posted in: Suzuki, Michishita win marathon bronze; Japan finishes with 41 medals See in context

There are times when the rigidity of rules defies rational thinking.

The article fails to explain the circumstances surrounding the winning of the bronze medal.

The original 3rd placegetter was disqualified for releasing the rope to her helper who suffered a medical condition. They were two metres from the finishing line and 3 minutes ahead of the Japanese pair.

Where is the justice, or even common sense in that decision?

Another conspiracy could be that China extended the Pandas stay knowing they were old, they get sick, now blame Japanese neglect.

Japan's judicial system trying to implement some common sense? Who would of thought !

Drink driving, drink riding there is no difference. Maybe the police could actually become proactive, but don't hold your breath.

Musk prides himself on being "in the know" on all things that concern his company.

Whatever your political persuasions, how refreshing for a judicial system that a common sense approach.

@ Asiaman 6.35pm

You are on the money there. (Excuse the pun) Until she attains a level of fitness that accompanied her succesful years, she will continue to perform below par. Trying to be a fashionista does not equate to a return to form. Surprisingly, no report of her press conference this time.

@Mr Kipling

Agree. She doesn't exactly look a picture of fitness.

Her endless philosophical thoughts - just play tennis.

Incidentally, It is a shame that you have had to play really good players. The organisers should arrange inferior players for you to play?

@ bass4funk

Looking at U.S. politics from a distance, it is difficult to comprehend your support for a person who seems only interested in egoism, cannot speak of an opponent without disparaging remarks and lacks the ability to clearly express himself to let the public know exactly what he stands for. Confusing at best.

Be relevant to discover where the kids were seated and if suitably restrained.

In any event, two young lives gone. RIP
