There is no evidence that immigrants and migrants are responsible for more crime.

https://fullfact.org/immigration/eu-immigrant-workers-uk-five-things-we-learned-today/

No evidence that migration has reduced the training of UK-born workers

No evidence that migration has reduced the quality of healthcare

No evidence that migration has reduced parental choice in schools or the educational attainment of UK-born children

No evidence that migration has any effect on crime rates in England and Wales

No evidence that migration has reduced the average level of subjective well-being in the UK

No evidence that people are less satisfied with their neighbourhoods than in the past

No evidence of higher or lower prosperity being associated with a higher or lower population

No evidence that migrants are more likely to be working under a zero hours contract than the UK born, nor is there evidence that they more likely to switch industries between two given quarters

No evidence of migrants having preferential access to social housing

No doubt that you may have certain immigrant or migrant individuals or groups that commit crime. Of course you do but there's no evidence they have made crime worse or commit crimes at a higher rate than the general population. They just get more exposure. Someone makes a video of a migrant or immigrant being a jerk or committing a crime, it gets posted on social media, and suddenly the usual suspects they represent all immigrants and migrants when they're a small minority. It's mob behavior.

That's why people like how Deadpool just take it in stride and take advantage of it for his own ends! Lol

More like every Marvel movie since Endgame has been crap so even a mediocre one is considered gold. LOL.

The multiverse concept is just an excuse for poor writing and story development. It's a deus ex machina. Any character can be brought back to life and be made any way the writers want. Any situation can be reversed or rectified. There are no consequences for any actions. When you have an answer for everything, there is no longer any impact, meaning, or value to what occurs in the movie. They'll just resurrect them in the next movie via the multiverse.

I've never seen such a close 100m race. Amazing.

The runner from Japan was so close to making the final. They will be hard to beat in the relay with him. Also Japan has done very well in these Olympics considering their population is much smaller than many countries.

You clearly don't know what the current population of Japan is. Take a look at the medals chart on the main page. There are only 2 countries with a larger population than Japan. All the rest have much smaller populations than Japan.

You can only sing Back in the Saddle and Draw the Line so many times before they kill your vocal cords. Loved them as hard rock band before they went the pop music route. Everything post Pump is quite soft. But after years of limited popularity, very happy for them to get more mainstream commercial success. Over 50yrs of concerts and tours. They certainly paid their dues. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford have their own bands so I'm sure they'll keep busy without Tyler.

Mentality of a 10yrs old but he's 24.

Schools are closed for the summer.

They are but some kids still go to school especially for club activities (bukatsu) which continue through the summer.

Not only classrooms but most school gyms have no air conditioning. My son plays volleyball in what's essentially a sauna but they say it 'builds' character and toughness. Maybe it does... If he doesn't get heat stroke.

Lynch mobs are alive and well even today. How stupid and depressing.

That Japanese tourists are frequently targeted by petty theft in France is well known. But hitting an Olympic team takes the cake.

Oh give me a break. Petty thieves don't know the difference between Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc. All they see are Asians.

This is definitely an inside job. Like hotels, these rooms need a safe but sounds like France is on the cheap.

Got to hand it to Disney.

Successful. They certainly haven’t gone broke.

They won't go broke because their other divisions like theme parks are still profitable but since the article is about their films, if you'd stay on topic you'd realize that both their Marvel and Star Wars divisions have produced financial failure after failure because of their flawed strategy. Bringing back RDJr was a desperation move they had to make because they had sunk so low and couldn't handle to continue losing money.

Who is Babe Ruth? Why should I care?

You posted so you do care. Why not look him up on the internet.

Well some blame a woman's clothes, 'I couldn't control myself because of her seductive clothes' so we shouldn't be surprised that some blame a 12yrs old girl for being raped even after the perp said that he didn't know she was under 13yrs old implying that 13yrs is the age of consent....for him. Sick people.

Why, they don't believe black person can't do whatever that other protagonist can do.

In fact, there was black samurai in Japan's history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/who-was-yasuke-japans-first-black-samurai-180981416/

Do you seriously believe everything on wiki. Time mag, Smithsonian, etc., just knee jerk reacted to a couple of foreign 'academics' who wrote books claiming 'the true story' when it was just an unsubstantiated premise. Western media love this kind of cultural sensationalism. There simply isn't enough evidence. He existed but was likely nothing more than a retainer as historical documents indicate he knew Nobunaga for less than a year. Do a little real research yourself.

30 HRs for a rehabbing pitcher. Can't make this stuff up.

Increasing fastball pitch speed makes other pitches even more difficult to hit. Off speed pitches are killers nowadays.

Very sad. An important monument but too much valuable metal for thieves to ignore nowadays. Make another one made of concrete.

I don't think were talking about the Terminator or the Matrix...not just yet anyway but the moral implications of allowing AI to make the decision to kill a human. It's probably already happened and will happen in increasing frequency in the future. Swarm of autonomous, armed drones can act and process faster than the human chain of command. In many simulations even the best fighter pilots can't beat AI jets not only because they can withstand higher G's but because they have zero fear. It's a nice gesture from Japan but no country/military is really going to prohibit this.

Baldwin was the producer. It was his set. He hired the cut-rate armorer. He ran the lax set.

There are five producers on the film Rust. Do you have any proof he was the producer that hired her. He solely ran the set?

BlacklabelToday  01:49 pm JST

Well looks like you CAN shoot and Jill someone and get away with it if your politics are convenient.

Because it was a film set where the head armorer gave him a gun with live ammo because she brought them onto the set and lost track of them. She was convicted. Sounds like it's you with a political agenda...as always.

WA4TKGToday  12:42 pm JST

So it’s official, he’s gotten away with murder.

Point a gun at someone, pull the trigger, blame it on someone else.

This is how Hollywood works

It was a film set, you know...make believe, where the head armorer is responsible to make sure they're blank rounds. She was convicted. No actor checks to see if every round is a blank before firing.

zibalaToday  12:43 pm JST

But, he was charged.

Why do you think he was in court?

After the head armorer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, it should have never gone to court. She brought live ammunition to the set and lost track of them. It was a bogus charge against Baldwin.

Good for them. Give credit where credit is due.

"If Baldwin so recklessly ignored so has Keanu Reaves, Arnold, Stallone, Statham, etc, etc., none of them checked every round they fired on set. Do you seriously think Reaves checked every round he fired on the John Wick movies? LOL. He was given a gun which was supposed to have blank rounds checked by the head armorer. "

Whether those other actors used real firearms on set is a different question. None of them actually killed anyone. Perhaps because those other films were properly funded and produced, there were no such incidents.

The funding and production of "Rust", however is quite a different matter. This was Baldwin's baby. He's the captain of this ship.

So now you're saying that he isn't guilty of mishandling the gun? Now you're saying that he's guilty because he was one of the film's producers. Yet there were multiple producers. I think there were like over five producers but only he's guilty. The head armorer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. She brought live ammunition to the set and lost track of them.

"repeat aloud the three "golden rules" of gun safety.

*Always point the gun in a safe direction (Never point towards a person unless you intend to shoot that person) . Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. And always treat a firearm as if it were loaded."*

All of those are what Baldwin so recklessly ignored. Manslaughter. For being stupid AND reckless.

If Baldwin so recklessly ignored so has Keanu Reaves, Arnold, Stallone, Statham, etc, etc., none of them checked every round they fired on set. Do you seriously think Reaves checked every round he fired on the John Wick movies? LOL. He was given a gun which was supposed to have blank rounds checked by the head armorer.

"There was a severe overcorrection, that didn't need to be made in the way that it was," said Merrick.

As an armorer with three decades of experience, Merrick believes that real guns -- when used safely -- give both actors and audiences an unrivalled sense of "authentic action."

All this because one head armorer was incompetent and unprofessional.

*These would be my choice if I could still play. My old air guitar is looking a little worn out. *Maybe I could buy on of these but not string it.

So you'd buy a guitar but not play it? Just decoration? It's okay to leave a guitar unstrung for a little time but if you keep it that way for a long time, it'll probably damage the neck.

The Great Wave one looks kind of cool but something tells me you could get a much better guitar for 200,000.

As much as I'd like to see one, I am not a huge fan of Higashiyama zoo. Some of the exhibits are nice, but it is still more about showig the animals than taking care of them and showing them in something similar to their natural habitat. Some of the enclosures at Higashiyama is more like little concrete prison cells for the animals. Still, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they take care of it properly.

Never been to that zoo but Ueno Zoo is a travesty. Some animals can barely move.

And when was the last time you were actually bothered by a Komodo dragon?

when it came up on my facebook feed swallowing a screaming pig or deer alive.

So you'd like to see all carnivores/predators go extinct then?

Not paying to see this at the cinema but it's okay for streaming. Sad when you feel this way about most big Hollywood productions nowadays.

I don't see a problem.

Free agent moves and trades are crazy this year. Lot's of players moving around.
