Sharpton's sermonizing is nothing but hot air. The sad fact is, Americans have become so desensitised to violent crime that they are totally blind to the factors contributing to it, so the vicious circle keeps on getting bigger and bigger. A US Marine in Afghanistan is probably safer than an outgunned cop in inner cities like Detroit. And Marines are far less likely to be sued for collateral damage.

Sez who? There was an article appearing quite recently that cited conclusive findings that frequent password changes are a waste of time.

Actually woman tied up on a tombstone is a famous old horror motif, which Shinoyama was apparently trying to recreate. There's a whole genre of these, including woman who is knocked out, abducted and awakens to find herself bound to a rotting corpse, etc. This type of gothic image belongs to a theme where the horror genre overlaps with SM, and appears to be mainly, but not exclusively, Japanese.

While on a visit to Tohoku five years ago I accidentally dropped mine into a place whose mention here would almost certainly result in this post's removal. Decided it wasn't worth the hassle, cancelled the account and have lived happily ever after without one.

What I 'seem' to find acceptable? There's your strike two at dissembling. Please inform the other posters which company went bankrupt (Bungeishunju-sha is still in business) and who got fired (Marco Polo's editor moved to the Asahi Shimbun more than a year after his magazine was closed and became editor of 'Uno'). You appear to be justifying Muslims' riots and threats because they 'lack power'. Maybe they actually do have power but are failing to wield it intelligently.

Wow, talk about dissembling. As I recall, Bungeishunju-sha, the publisher, suspended publication of the magazine itself after protest from a Jewish group back in the mid-1990s. Marco Polo had run a long article by some amateur Japanese historian that claimed the Nazi Holocaust was a fabrication, and intentionally timed the article's appearance to the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. Pretty offensive, if you ask me. The protest involved a boycott by advertisers, which was joined not only by a German auto manufacturer but by several Japanese companies! An apology would probably have got the magazine off the hook. At any rate, no one rioted, threatened the editor's life or threw firebombs at the corporate headquarters. Perhaps Muslims might learn more effective ways to flex their economic muscles to achieve their ends in a less violent manner.

You wanna hear me scream, try carrying a jumbo latte and start drinking it next to me on a moving bus during rush hour. I'll give you 115 decibels. For people who converse on their keitai in the public library, I swat them with the largest reference book within reach. But quietly.

Wow, talk about political correctness. Why can't AP provide the information that the men were Chinese stowaways who boarded without tickets, as so reported on Japanese TV?

They should have at least had the consideration to wait until the child reached adulthood and then she could have been convicted in the courts and humanely executed by lethal injection. The police really blew it this time.

I don't know if cell phones can cause brain cancer or not, but I'm totally convinced using them repeatedly makes a person self-absorbed and stupid.

Good grief. This article is not about foreigners, rapists or otherwise, so stop acting like the outraged wounded party. It's about men who flake out before their retirement.

Never. I threw my cell phone into the Sumida River, wrapped in a copy of the Yukan Fuji together with a fish.

Laws only work if they are enforced. Will the Arizona police hire several thousand new cops? If they don't, who's going to prioritize their tasks? If the state has hundreds of thousands of illegals who haven't committed other crimes, what jobs will the police be transferred from to take care of this?

Calpis was supposedly inspired by the kumis (mare's milk) imbibed on the Mongolian steppes. The "cal" refers to calcium and the "pis" comes from the Sanskrit word for tasty. Or so I read once, in Jean Pearce's column in the Japan Times, an aeon ago.
