And you should see how bad it is when we travel to china in some area's and they found out you are a japanese tourist.
I am not surprise by the US too. Each year they allow so many from all over the world to enter their borders for all kind of reasons. The population just doesn't have enough time to assimilate and get familiar to each other and foster good feelings. Communities are build through a lot time and effort. You mix everything together and just keep injecting more every year and all you get is a time bomb waiting to go off with just a tiny spark.
Wise words. Once I would have just said it’s common sense but that’s long gone.

It is offensive to minority people.
Yeah, yeah, everything’s offensive to somebody these days. There’s even moves to remove the Jim’s Hendrix plaque from that hotel in London because he stopped supporting the Black Panthers. Cry me a river.
For gods sake, it’s a quaint old British tradition which nobody takes very seriously. Its all theater and does no harm.
I’m no fan of Elton and his pompousities but I don’t begrudge him his award. Hell, if Lulu Hamilton can get a knighthood anything goes.

Uh, no. He shot and killed a person on the set of his latest movie. It was a result of criminal negligence on his part and a staggering display of carelessness. Moreover, guns had been going off and firing live ammunition on the set in the days previously and Baldwin, far from being concerned as an actor let alone producer, not only didn’t act to resolve a clearly extremely dangerous situation for everyone involved in the film, he also blithely accepted a gun handed to him, didn’t bother to give it even a cursory check for safety, pointed it at someone and shot her dead.
It was a completely needless death.

No need for a police officer on set, Mr Baldwin. Hard as it may be for you to understand, the police have other more pressing duties than being props for your blame shifting.

I am willing to believe what is being said once the talkers start living like THEY believe what they are saying. If Obama sells his seaside home, if Al Gore sells a few of his houses, if any of them show any willingness to display real leadership.

Ellis said the gunman was held in solitary confinement for much of the time while awaiting his trial and lacked proper access to lawyers, information and documentation about his case.
If it’s true that he was not given proper access to lawyers and information as required by law, then he has a case. It’s that simple, and not up to how much posters here want to flaunt their “outrage”.
