Ridiculous. Because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it isn’t easy for anybody else.

He struggled with alcoholism, that is pretty unhealthy and cancerous.

Yeah, he's pointing out a forgotten truth: neither the Palestinians nor the Jews living in the US have had anything to do with that war. Neither group should be threatened, harmed, or blamed. Neither side did anything wrong. If any of them pick up a rifle and go there to fight then there would be an issue.
You can't block roads to hospitals, workplaces or airports either for people that have their own livelihoods to attend to.

I spoke to a couple of foreign tourist groups from Australia and the Netherlands, and not one knew about the Golden Week holiday before arriving in Japan.
Even inbound flights into Japan during the Golden Week period were double to triple the price than usual rates. Any person that looks at a flight rates calendar would see this and question why these dates were so expensive. That is unless money is no object to them.

Growing up in SoCal, I have heard stories that made me never want to go. One family friend found a decapitated head on the beach. A group of college buddies drove down to drink in Tijuana and ended up having drugs planted on them by police and put behind bars. Police let them go the next morning but cleaned out their wallets in the process.

I appreciate you proving my point several times.
You already lost calling the original poster "bollocks" for stating that Kimmel threatened a lawsuit. Whatever name calling, deflection or runaround you want to give to help you cope is on you.

This is about Kimmel threatening to sue someone who accused of him of having close links with man who ran a sex trafficking network and used child prostitutes.
and that lawsuit will be thrown out fast as Kimmel has slandered the said individual multiple times as well as countless others. Rodgers has the same right as Kimmel does on a talk show.
