himasan, I can't speak for all "Bible thumpers" but for myslef, but based on my training, and belief system, I think that their lack of religion may have something to do with it. Not saying that one religion is better than the other, or saying that if you don't believe…

i have seen her on various TV programs, and while I respect her service, I have to disagree. She, being a retired Col. and with a little bit of understanding how US military and policy work, should know that the US does not go to war to gain possessions. Yes,…

I thought that any "club" or cafe is basically a blind date place. You pay to go in (in the case of a club) and you try to "get lucky" if you can.

Shouldn't the girls be hit with truancy (if the raids occured during school hours).

I don't deny the right of Goto to lead a protest, but I think that his and many others are mis-directing the focus of their efforts. The USN here in Japan is working for the US government, and we are here because our govt. has a treaty with Japan. If…

I saw a few teary eyed ladies in the Honch on Tuesday night. Funny thing, after all the sailors had to be back on ship, I saw one or two get into cars with other guys, I guess the game will go on.

Blue Tiger, you bring out some good points. I know many here like to bash organized religion as an "opiate to the beasts of burdern" but it does help I believe in quelling some of the thoughts of suicide. I think it gives one a better perspective of where you…

spotehun, when I made my comments, I was not trying to diminish the deaths of the innocent. But, just by a quick observation, the age difference does stand out when a 16 year old has a 6 month child (you do the math, that means that the child became pregnant…
