Posted in: 21 airlines fined for fixing passenger, cargo fees See in context
So all that fuel surcharge bullshit was just bullshit, right? All these years we've been furnishing Harry Executive's plush NY apartment when the whole damn scheme was bullshit. Personally I have never trusted airlines since Qantas stitched me over in the 80's and even worse trying to fly JAL in the 90's. And now it was all a match-fixing lie. Thanks a million. Hope you all go bankrupt, scammers.

This must be the only movie/documentary, where it mentions at the end, "animals were hurt during filming"
and the only country where this would be generally seen as a good thing.

Sherzer said Bush doesn’t want to be part of a forum that invited someone who has “willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States.”

Good point with the baseball bat. Keep a bat next to the bed, a large knife in each of your other rooms plus a legally-sized knife on your person when you go out.

Given the huge violent death rate in Japan yes it makes sense to take every possible precaution. Locking your door should be a minimum. Keeping a knife handy at all times is also advisable.

I went to Costco with a friend back in 2002 and bought a bag of pretzels on her card. Dozens of pretzel parties and 9 years later I'm about half way through the pack.
