nightvision - Invading? At a Seven-Eleven? Since when is Seven-Eleven Ms. Amuro's "private" place? And if Japan is so safe, what does Ms. Amuro have to fear from her son's foto being on the internet? Why all the "privacy" stuff now? Seems other, more famous celebs have no problem with their childrens' mugs being all over the `Net; what's Ms. Amuro's problem?
Yomuri - She was in the foto also. Again, its a double-standard on her part, and it was a public place; wasn't liek the photographer took pictures of them at her home. She and her son were out in a public place.
If she's "woman" enough to bare it all for a "Gentleman's" rag, she should be grown-up enough not to have a tantrum (and a lawsuit) against a photographer who merely took a snap of her and her son coming out of a public place.

Goodguy - I'd love to see one of the Kameda's take Pacquiao out for a try. It would be the ugliest fight for the Kameda's ever (I doubt any of the Kameda's could even lay a glove on the world's champ, and even if they did, he'd lang 10 to every one of theirs). Any one of them would end up with a hamburger face by the end of the first round....

If Naito drops Koki in the first round it'll be better than the Kameda punk deserves. Of course, putting him away early will also ensure not getting a "dirty job" done to him, either.
The Kameda's are dirty, overrated, pompous chumps who get their glory from fighting unheralded losers, or young little-more-than-amateurs. Naito put the lights out on Koki's younger brother; let's hope he does it a gain this Weekend. The sooner the Kameda's disappear from celebrity status the better....

Overrated and pompous. Can't stand a hypocritical celeb who will bear it all for a "Gentleman's" magazine, yet go ballistic when a private citizen snaps a photo of her with her son at a convenience store.

He'll get a slap on the wrist. After all, if two other murderers who -- in grisly fashion -- dismembered their victims and got seven- and ten-year sentences respectively, what does this guy have to fear?
Dolphingirl - well said.

Again, as I stated earlier, why -- if the detractors of Gov. Palin are right about her -- is she still getting so much press, negative press? The Left-leaning MSM in the USA cannot leave her alone, and are even going after FOXNews (AGAIN) on her account. If Gov. Palin is so NOT it, why all the snipping and sniping at her from the left, from Democrats, and from the Media? If Sara Palin is so irrelevant to the political world in the USA, why is she still gaining headlines? Why does Bristol's jack @%!! former boyfriend find more and more life in the media? And if others, such as Pawlenty, Jindal, Romney, and Giuliani -- or Ron Paul, for that matter -- are so relevant and "better" for the GOP niomination, where is the MSM and their sniping? Why is it that the left are basically leaving them alone, yet almost incessantly coming after Gov. Palin?
This is more and more telling as time goes on. Like killer bees, the left in general is attacking the one they see as a serious threat, all the while, leaving the rest alone...

If Gov. Palin is so "not it", why is it that the media just can't leave her alone? Why is it that libs have to snip and snipe at everything she does, insomuch as publishing a doppelganger book detracting from her on the same day as her autobio is released? What is further tellign is that all the other major contenders for the GOP nomination are not getting nearly the negative press Sara Palin is.....if they are getting any press a'tall...

Awesome! Hopefully, more jurors will step up and ask hard questions that the lawyers and judges avoid for "protocol'S" sake.

Before everyone and their mother goes off on how bad guns are in the USA, remember this happened on an Army Base where there is access to weapons of all sorts.
As far as the man's beliefs, remember, in Islam, suicide of this nature is a sin...actually, so are all the suicide killings in civilian areas, too...
