Laila KholoussiToday  09:24 am JST

Because Hamas is a terrorist group that killed and kidnapped innocent civilians, while Israel is a democratic country that puts terrorists in jail. It's called law and order.

Israel a 'terrorist state, apartheid regime', son of Israeli general says (aa.com.tr)

That's the kind of language and the exact same words that the noted antisemite Roger Waters says all the time. Hamas is scum. The Israeli PM is a corrupt bonehead. He is using this unprovoked war as leverage for his own ambitions, which is personal power and to kill Gazans, as many as he can.

But that doesn't make Israel a 'fascist' or 'apartheid' state. People who say that are using projectionism themselves. Jew-bashers talk that crap fervently all the time.

Can we please throw this guy to the wolves?

He was Weinstein before Weinstein.

Making good films does not exam or one for being a child-sex enthusiast.

Just like Cosby. As a kid I remember him on PBS and all the comedy he did. One of his short films was shown in my 6th grade Social Studies class to tell us how idiotic all prejudices against anyone are. He was an icon to my generation and beyond. But he's also a raping and pedo monster.

Gene HennighMar. 14  11:14 am JST

If he fled to Europe it probably was because he was guilty and knew his chances were very low in a court of law. Since he has been there extradition laws that other countries have so far been his way out of US courts. He has not sought legal ways to deny the allegations and probably has some high end lawyers working for him, too. If he were in New York denying the charges he would have his day in court, but he's in Europe, where he fled from the guilty verdict. Since he's been there, he has kept more than his nose clean, if you know what I mean. Well, maybe.

Roman Polanski: ‘Everyone else fancies little girls too’ – Telegraph Blogs (archive.org)

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/michaeldeacon/100011795/roman-polanski-everyone-else-fancies-little-girls-too/

He admits it himself and thinks 'everyone else' (whatever that is) is just as disgusting as he is. He's boasting about it!

> Fighto!Mar. 14  08:07 pm JST

Polanski is a paedo. If he was innocent of these crimes as he claims, he wouldn't have hid from justice for 50 years.

People who support Polanski endorse sex with minors - but won't admit it, of course.

Yet their sick ways come out in some manner and they can't hide it all the time. R Kelly bragged about laying with 11 y/o girls and his first marriage was to a 15 y/o. Donald Trump's incestuous lust is obvious and he often says 'the younger, the better'. Not to mention the things he said and did to those Miss Teen USA contestants.

Being a good movie actor or director or musician or anything gets you off the hook if you're a sick-o pervert or sex assaulter. Word is that Steven Seagal had similar allegations against him himself, he fled to Russia and is now a Russian citizen. He's a member of the Duma and is a lackey for Putin, constantly sassing off the U.S.A. He is a turncoat. And I liked his action movies too, a good stuntman. Now he's a runt.

Did you even travelled to Libya?I did 4 times 2006-2009.

Ask local Libyans how they feel about their life in "democracy" there now...and sure many will not have a nice words.

You were in Libya when their local trump was still in power. A boorish ass with a personality cult that stank everything up over there. You couldn't criticize the 'Great Leader' openly then.

Things have changed, they threw his mantle off. Qaddafy got his karma. It's another day over there now.

I remember when I was in school, military, college, work when my cohorts would say 'Hey, didya see the Oscars/Grammys/Emmys/American Music Awards and there was Michael Jackson/Men at Work/Eddie Murphy/Robin Williams/Susan Anton/etc.'?

When Titanic won the Awards, 55 million watched the show

Since when are the sheep always right or have good taste? 'Avatar' scooped up so many awards and it was a cliche ridden piece of trash from beginning to end.

Just because 'the masses' love it or the 'artsy-fartsy' critic crowd loves something doesn't mean you have to.

I remember so many things that got praised that were unbelievably dumb. Remember that rock band Replacements? College radio DJs and a Rolling Stone critic called them 'the band of the 80s'. Really? Where are they now? Lesse, look back - they were just a lunkheads with nothing to say at all.

There's always someone from the 'left' and someone from the 'right' always trying to force feed something on you - your clothes, your hair, your face, your career, your taste in music/films/TV/games/etc, your wife/husband, your 'leaders' in government, your religious ideals, every damn thing.

You got to observe and take a look around, then decide for yourself. And don't let anyone else try to lead you by the nose.

I've never watched the Oscars, and I never will.

Good for you for telling people this. Usually people keep quiet about that kind of thing on the internet.

I remember when I was in school, military, college, work when my cohorts would say 'Hey, didya see the Oscars/Grammys/Emmys/American Music Awards and there was Michael Jackson/Men at Work/Eddie Murphy/Robin Williams/Susan Anton/etc.'?

That was last century.

At least this time it was a film that many people saw, had some critical acclaim (not just from snobby artsy-fartsy types either) and one that seemed to be liked by everyone and looks like it has some creative value (unlike the cliched trash like 'Avalon' or bores like 'Titantic'). And not something ridiculous like that one a few years ago about some deaf-mute cleaning woman mating with some fish-man in a tank. Grody!

Sometimes things do make some sense.

Posted in: Ceremony held to mark 79th anniversary of U.S. firebombings of Tokyo See in context

browny1Mar. 10  05:15 pm JST

The Tokyo Firebombing - a true display of the Insanity of War.

First the act itself - targeting industry, but knowing full well millions of civilians were directly in the bombing zones. And the use of incendiary bombs - napalm and phosphorous - was used knowingly to cause the maximum destruction and death over the widest area - 60% of Tokyo obliterated, 100, 000 killed and 1 million injured many horrifically. McArthur himself acknowledged that these were probably war crimes.

Second - that the Japanese powers to be at that time did not surrender, knowing full well that defeat would be inevitable. The Tokyo attack resulted in the firebombing campaign of all major cities in Japan over the ensuing months culminating in the Atomic bombs being dropped.

That the Japanese political leaders, military leaders and the emperor all ignored this devastation - pre-atomic - resulting in further deaths and injuries to millions.

Just insane.

It is insane. The fire bombings were also done in Europe during WW2, BTW. These remembrances are essential, not just as a memorial to the dead. When I took a humanities requirements course in college, we had to read a translated book from a Japanese author who lived during the WW2 fascist era. And like Hitler, Tojo also was a fascist. Near the end of the book the author describes how the Japanese people felt ashamed because they were lied to by their own government. The fascist regime controlled all media and they lied to the people of Japan, told them fibs all along. Told them 'everybody else is against us, waaaahhhh'. Et tu, Hitler, Milosevic, trump? Because of this, the people had to suffer and when the totalitarian regime was toppled, the veil of smoggy untruths was lifted. Now Japan is a different place, a better place, a democracy.

It must be kept as a reminder not to fall for those 'nationalistic'/jingoistic fairy tales and paranoia ever again as well as a reminder that war is something to be avoided. The Japanese Constitution prohibits war 'forever' and the 'right to belligerency' is not recognized.

It's no different with the atom bomb. Reagan himself said at the 1984 SOTU address that an atomic war is unwinnable and must never be fought. He and Gorbachev buried the hatchet. They weren't dumb.

We must never forget. Just like we must never forget the Holocaust in Europe.

Posted in: More Chinese women choosing to stay single as economy stutters See in context

Ricky Kaminski13Today  08:20 am JST

A very strong sign of an unhealthy society when people opt out of having children en masse. Especially when the social engineering has created huge gaps in the number of men and women. The very fabric of Chinese culture is said to be based around the family too. The cracks in the foundations are becoming huge gaping holes. This will not end well for the CCP.

That 'One Child' policy courtesy of Murderous Mao hasn't gone over so well, has it? Or maybe by chance there have been 'too many' girls born from this social engineering experiment. You can't control everything, you CCP yo-yos. Quit trying to play God. You are not Shang-dri so quit trying to be, Commie chumps!

And don't even try the business of 'selling' your women to other nations to boost your population. Stop trying to fool with Chinese society, you failed. The chips will fall where they will, naturally. You can't stop that.

RedemptionToday  10:51 am JST

Very interesting. A foreign female colleague of Chinese descent in Singapore in her mid-30’s lives with her parents and her hobby is legos which she shared in her self introduction. Men are better off steering clear of that one.

There's plenty of people of Chinese descent and diaspora around the world. Cities all over have Chinatowns, the receptionist at the Ottawa Ramada where I stayed at is ethnic Chinese Canadian.

And as for that lady who loves Legos so much, I'm sure she will find another enthusiast herself. That's a popular hobby.

*Haven't we seen this charade before? This sounds like one of those political 'gimmick' ads that were used in the 50's: 'Oh, I'm just like you'. 'I'm one of you'. *

Well, she is, believe me, there are millions of young conservatives and traditionalists who work, provide for their families, and are not in the streets wasting their time screaming and defacing property and terrorizing the cops or communities

That unrest in 2020 was started up by Spankee Don, screaming 'LIBERATE!' everything from the Covid lockdown. That spiraled out of control fast and because of the rioting and looting that people of every persuasion did, we got 2 million sick and died from Covid. But his immature screaming started the entire ball rolling and his militia turds tried to start a 'race war' that America doesn't want.

Pretty lady. Check.

Her youth. Check.

Rising 'star'. Out nowhere. Check.

In a simple suburban home kitchen (maybe). Check. 

Nice middle class green shirt. Check.

What? Interesting, now if a conservative made the exact same observations you have made they would have been called, a sexist..hmmm

This is sarcasm. Her appearance has all these traits to appeal to the dumb and uninitiated. It's all pre-fab. An Eminence Front. A put-on. Posing.

Christian cross around her neck. Bigtime check. Need I say why?

And?

Just like Sarah Palin posing in front of a stars-and-stripes billboard with her hands in a prayerful pose and a goofy grin; and Saddam Hussein pretending to pray on an Islamic prayer rug on that 1991 Gulf war videotape. Jesus warns in the Bible about fakes like that who love to be noticed. An Eminence Front. A put-on.

But she's talking boneheaded trash like that oh-so-dumb-and-discredited Sarah Palin. Gads, what an idiot.

And that kind of talk pushes a lot of women to vote Republican.." trash?" With all the mounting problems the Dems are facing, I would be very careful to call anyone trash or derogatory words, those are potential voters.

Being Republican doesn't make you stupid. Kissing Trumpian butt like a robot does. Real Republicans like Bob Dole, John McCain, George Bush, Ronald Reagan are spinning in the graves CCW right now. George W Bush is probably shaking his head and conservative commentator George Will is probably barfing right now.

*I dunno about 'crazy' but like Sarah Palin she sure is stupid. *

Her resume and Bank account net worth say otherwise

What did PT Barnum say? I have a deed to choice farm land on Enceladus, moon of Saturn to sell you too.

And I'm grossly sick-and-tired of hearing about that made up 'border crisis'.

There is NO 'invasion'! There never was.

7.2 million illegals is not an invasion? Even Mexico calls it an invasion because they pass through their country to get into the US. Adams says it's an invasion, San Francisco, Chicago, they are ll getting concerned and rightfully so, they created this mess.

Wait, Armed Forces and the police are comprised of liberals only? Oh, boy...ROFL

*and *they ain't got the guts to do the job and see for themselves! 

Well, a lot of people along the border are doing the job that Biden won't do.

Photoshop. Type in the text. It's been so easy to do it's incredible. In 1990 the National Enquirer tried that to say 'if the Rolling Stones complete this tour it'll be a miracle!'. Well they did, and extended it into the now formerly Communist Eastern Europe. I first saw them in 1997 and 2015.

In 1992 there was in my hometown paper alone a 'story' about George Bush and some old woman (pic on the right) having a tryst. Just because Bill Clinton is a philanderer doesn't mean that George was, folks.

*I am SICK of all that bullcrap, haven't we learned anything from the Cold War? I wish for God's sakes these idiots would shaddup and start tackling the urgent issues, like punishing that Quisling Don and his MAGAt violent cult.*

Well, we are sick and tired of the Fed government not doing anything about the border, but as the article says, this is a losing issue for the Democrats, in fact, this is the number one issue for America and the Dems inaction continues to help Trump because and in the end, it doesn't matter what the left or Washington is trying to force-feed the public, they don't believe this admin when it comes to the border.

How can anybody 'help' trump with anything when he just screams like an arrogant little tin god who just filled his diapers? He never asks for 'help' in anything, he's so damn unsociable and egotistical, you can't deal or bargain with an uncouth loudmouth lunkhead lout like him who screams all the time and won't listen to anyone. He stole money from all departments to start construction on his unnecessary Berlin-ish ego project with no concern for property rights or Native American issues (like the Organ Pipe Cactus Park on Apache land in Arizona). And is kidnapping ethnic children, placing them in diseased overcrowded concentration camps where they were beaten, starved, raped, sterilized- yeah, that's how you 'stop' an 'invasion', huh? Nazi Germany did that, Francoist Spain did that, fascist Argentina did that. Ask Pope Francis, he knows. Those pigs made him an 'internal exile' prisoner there back in the day.

The number one issue foe America is to punish that scowling hateful quisling trump and his racist unamerican cult. I served in the military during the Cold War under a Republican President and am proud of it. I was elated to see Communism fall in Eastern Europe in 1989.

But I never ever ever thought in my born days that America would ever come under the control of a screaming Caligula fascist swine who claims to be the 'Chosen One' and thinks incest, rape, and other immoral things are OK and alright. And he openly kisses up to Putin too, he's on Vladimir's leash. Was he going to give him those Top Secret documents he stole by the crateload?

I entered the Navy about 40 years ago. I never would've imagined any of these things in my wildest dreams. What a nightmare we've had lately!

The people of Palestine regretfully, no lets not beat around the bush here, have been made to pay with there lives, men women families children.

Can you justify such brutal retribution?

I, hand on heart can't. Actually I won't.

I can't either. The Gazan victims are political victims and pawns stuck in the middle. They are Muslim, Christian, Bahai, Zoroastrian and Jewish in faith. And the Israeli PM Nutty Yahoo is a political cancer.

President Joe Biden needed to day one, with the benefit of hindsight, to engage a full diplomatic Israeli Arab summit. He politically flinched, stood back, he dithered.

Understandable in a world where policies associated with the middle east pivot in the direction that suits domestic political polls surveys, and the rather toxic world of partisan politicking.

That's more of an Arab League or a UN issue than just the US alone.

Now as for Jewish lobbying, it has been around since the last supper

That's the same crap these damn antisemites keep saying, Hitler used it as an excuse to snuff out 6 million of them. That 'Jewish lobbying/cartel/cabal' bull keeps being used by antisemites, lately by Kanye West/Ye and Roger Waters.

And here in America it's become 'fashionable' to bash Jews again. The Hillel Center on my university campus got vandalized by some Jew-bashing pukes and a few Jewish students got beat up. What did those guys do to deserve that? Nothing.

Libya has had little peace since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising

NATO was acting against Gaddafi with UNSC approval and not in favor of any particular group.

And Milosevic was finally put into his place after NATO whipped his genocidal ass in two intervening wars.

This is why we need a NATO. I knew from my Navy days that Qaddafy would rear his ugly head again. And of course there's since been the crazy ISIL genocides and trump's puppet-master Putin fooling in the Ukraine.

The Libyans know their culture and history better than us and I hope after ditching their dictator they can finally build a better stronger democratic Libya.

itsonlyrocknrollToday  07:12 am JST

U.S. President Joe Biden weakness is attempting to procrastinate, to run up the flag of reason to force a ceasefire to mollify ones harshest political congress critics in an election year.

That's like saying Obama got the US into the second Libya war in 2011 so he could win another term the next year. Do you think the Libyans revolted against Qaddafi just only so that America would step in and Obama would get a second term? Doubtful.

What's there to procrastinate here? Hamas started this war with no concern about America or Joe or 2024. The world doesn't revolve around America.

“He has a right to defend Israel, a right to continue to pursue Hamas,” Biden said of Netanyahu in an MSNBC interview. “But he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken. He’s hurting...in my view, he’s hurting Israel more than helping Israel.” *

Israel does have every right to defend itself, but Nutty Yahoo is a corrupt jerk using this war for his selfish agenda. He is hurting Israel, he's not fit to be PM. He needs to go.

USA and Israel are joined at the hip. In every respect, in congress, in the politically powerful Jewish lobby.

'Jewish lobby'? That sounds a bit on the antisemite side. 'Jewish cabal' influencing our government and destroying the world economy, that theory is a rubbish lie.

As a veteran who has handled security issues and has seen what what most Americans never see, I am violently SICK AND TIRED of all this Orwellian screaming crap about an 'invasion' that is not real.

And now robot submarines are doing the job.

There already is a strong barrier at the border that is tough to scale. Has been for 100 years. And even if somebody does, being a stranger in a strange land with rough unforgiving dry desert terrain is a tough trip, if you survive it.

trumpTurd kidnapped untold thousands of ethnic children and put them into concentration camps where they were overcrowded, beaten, starved, raped, sterilized. Where was the outcry in America?

Posted in: Biden takes on Trump over Russia, democracy in fiery State of the Union address See in context

JimizoToday  12:54 pm JST

I still think Biden shouldn’t run but he sounded more coherent than Trump does these days.

I saw a clip of Trump collapsing into a slobbering mess when talking about Saudi Arabia or something.

Sounded like he’d had a medical episode - scary.

He has had that for a very long time. It's called 'narcissism', 'narrow mindedness', 'ego', 'concrete skull', 'stupidity', 'lobotomy-at-birth', 'robot-ness', 'evil', 'delusions of godhood', 'unsociability', 'juvenility', 'gross immaturity', 'total lack of class and diplomacy', 'ill-manneredness', 'EVIL' and other characteristics.

All he does is scream and promote hatred and violence towards others. He's an antichrist, terrorist, fascist, traitor, turncoat and is not a US citizen. And as such he has absolutely no right to say anything at all, nothing whatsoever. The sooner he gets convicted for all his crimes and is punished the better for all of us. He already has been convicted for rape. Why would any self-respecting individual support, endorse or have anything to do with such a piece of garbage like him?

Posted in: Biden takes on Trump over Russia, democracy in fiery State of the Union address See in context

U.S. President Joe Biden assailed former President Donald Trump for kowtowing to Russia, failing to care about COVID-19 and papering over the Jan 6 Capitol assault on Thursday in a State of the Union speech making his case for re-election in 2024.

He needs to be forceful here. trump is a scuzzy traitor, a boot licker for Putin who put America into its nadir of history (and culture). Dictatorship is not the answer. Note that Joe refers to trump as 'my predecessor'.

Before any Republican remarks about Joe's age, 40 years ago it was Ronald Reagan who was the oldest POTUS. He went on to make history by starting dialog with the USSR to resolve the Cold War peacefully. He also had the Lebanon war issue and he showed early stages of Alzheimer's (which didn't have a name yet). But he made history and progress during his 2nd term so they'd better shaddup about Joe being 'too old'.

Joe is 81 and still has some vitality in him. Trump may be 77 in age (on paper) but he has yet to reach the mental age of 7.

Trump, meanwhile, sent a steady stream of messages blasting Biden on his Truth Social platform. "He looks so angry when he’s talking, which is a trait of people who know they are 'losing it,'" Trump wrote. "The anger and shouting is not helpful to bringing our Country back together!"

Look at that screaming sassybrat Mussolini. That's all he knows how to do. Why the hell does anybody even listen to such a juvenile jerk like him? Ever see 'Triumph Of the Will' which promoted Hitler? This loudmouth pornographic pukeboy makes me SICK and he needs to shaddup NOW! Even Hitler wasn't a Caligula or a sexual deviant like he is.

I'm glad at least that Joe is nailing it on trumpTraitorTurd. He's showing everyone that he's a man and not a mouse (and that means the same when it comes to those Houthi hooligan pirates). Unlike his POTUS boss Barack, who always was a Mr. Nice Guy (most of the time), he has to show that he fights for freedom and democracy and is a lackey for no one.

Good going, Joe!

Posted in: Man arrested for sexually molesting teenage girl on street in Hokkaido See in context

anonymouseToday  07:55 am JST

This girl will likely be traumatised for life.

A similar thing (a little worse) happened to my sister-in-law when she was 7. She was sexually assaulted in a Tokyo park. She never told anyone until she was in her 40s. She is single and very insecure and she has never been able to establish a long-term relationship with a man.

It's a miracle that stories like this about sexual assault even reach the news at all. For every victim of sexual assault in Japan, countless others are silenced by fear, bureaucracy, the police and public indifference

I have a brother in my family who suffered molestation when he was 8. Of course he knew nothing about what was going on. Too young. He never could tell anyone until he was in his 50s. The stigma is horrible. He has these same problems this very day. Relationships with women have been tough on him. It's the same in America, maybe all over. But males are supposed to 'tough it out'. That's not easy for anybody.

Posted in: Teacher suspended after threatening to kill junior high school student See in context

Mr KiplingMar. 7  06:36 pm JST

It would be safe to say that teaching was not the best career choice for him.

How about breaking bricks or making license plates?

TokyoLivingToday  12:50 am JST

Maybe the teacher get enough from that student, not the best way to react..

But students needs to have more discipline and learn to respect teachers..

Respect these abusive brutes? Respect is a two-way street. Fear, intimidation, sassing off and threatening is no way to reach someone.

There was an abusive loudmouth university basketball coach from Indiana University. He'd scream like a brat, cuss and throw chairs around like a bully. Like a trump. He died last year. I don't think too many are going to miss him.

Posted in: Tourists banned from private alleys in Kyoto's geisha district See in context

Despite common misconceptions, geishas are not prostitutes, but rather entertainers and raconteurs highly skilled in traditional Japanese dance, musical instruments and games.

That's a big part of the problem. Many people I knew in HS who enlisted in the USMC (and the Navy) who were going to Japan had this area about getting 'geisha' girls who will do everything for you like fix your meals, clean the house you both live in, and of course - sex. And the idea of taking them back to the U.S.A. to be your subtle submissive 'love partner/household servant/blah blah'. Fantasies, and warped ones at that.

Of course there are brothels and red light districts in Japan but 'geishas' aren't a part of that. At least not today they aren't.

Maybe one time in the distant past that was so but I graduated from HS in 1984. Japan was long a different place at that time, even though there's some hater rubes with that 'Pearl Harbor' excuse to hate.

That was 40 years ago. The fantasy wasn't really true then, are there really some people who still think these things? Some people need a real education, fast! A crash course study.

Posted in: Haiti extends state of emergency as PM absent See in context

Haiti just keeps falling into anarchic despair. I remember the overthrow of the rotten Duvalier dynasty in 1986. Bertrand Aristide seemed to be a man of balance and stability but nothing really improved, not even after Clinton sent troops to invade Haiti and restore his rule.

Then 20 years ago (on a Leap Day) he was overthrown again and US forces waged another dumb interventional war in Haiti. Ever since that UN forces had waged wars with gangs, esp. in Cite de Soleil.

Is it any wonder why Haiti has had such a horrible death count from Covid? During the pandemic there's been an assassination and a descent into chaos again. And many Red Cross/Red Crescent workers, missionaries and aid workers have been kidnapped by these various gangs, there are governmental advisories for Americans and other foreigners too.

Haiti is going to have to rebuilt from the inside out, by the UN and probably some locals too.

Cambodia recovered that way, and the Occupation restored postwar Japan into something better.

It can happen if we want it to.

Posted in: Lawsuit filed against MIT accuses university of allowing antisemitism on campus See in context

A university is meant to educate people of all types. Hatred of any classification goes against that ideal. Judaism is a religion and there's no justifying/excusing/defending hatred based on that. There's no place for antisemitism anywhere, not in this world. Hitler snuffed out 6 million of them.

Students have the right to be what they are, free from hate and harm. So you see somebody who looks at God different than you do? Leave them alone!

I guess that one Commandment of 'Love your neighbor as yourself' is just something to memorize and recite to a Sunday School teacher for some people.

And universities have a DUTY to enforce the safeguards for all who enroll there.

Thank you Vlad - you did something Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Reagan, Bush(s) or Trump couldn't do...convince Sweden and Finland that Russia is such an imminent threat that it was time to join NATO...

Take a victory lap - given how your debacle war in Ukraine is going, you need it...

You forgot Ford, Carter, Nixon, Obama.

Welcome to club, Sweden. We welcome your presence and assistance in arctic NATO defense. Now if Putin does anything else stupid he has another nearby neighbor to be aware of.
