    President Obama is making a mistake by doing this. Planned Parenthood -- a Billion Dollar Industry -- certainly doesn't need this kind of "bail out". All President Obama will earn from this is a lot of ire.....

    Well posted, cloe, and thank you, but the detainees there are and were still classified as "enemy combatants" by the Bush Administration and those media outlets you listed, as well as others. Though Former President Bush may have denied that they were POWs, the fact tremains that these Gitmo Inmates are exactly that: Captured Enemy Combatants (read: POWs)....

    likeitis - What are 16-year-olds doing having sex in the first place, when they obviously aren't mentally, financially, nor emotionally ready to care for a baby, let alone being unmarried? And if low wage-earning women are so concerned with having a baby and their financial situation being strapped, what are they doing having sex in an unmarried state, as well? Please, tell me that we have no right to "regulate" sex, then try and explain, again, how abortion isn't selfishness nor a symptom and consequence of a selfish lifestyle. As far as a family "not wanting another mouth to feed", I've yet to encounter a family that DIDN'T welcoem the news of a soon-coming baby. And your diatribe about a baby's "conscisousness"? Irrelevant.

    To answer your question about adoption, my wife and I haven't adopted a child yet (because we aren't ready, financially, thanks to my current and future uncertain job status), but we have given a lot of money to adoption and single mother aid organizations in the last few years. We aren't just doing nothing. We do contribute as we are able, and when we are financially ready and economically more stable, we plan to adopt. Thanks for asking, though.

    It's murder, except when the life of the mother is in danger. Every other reason is made out of selfishness. When 99% of all performed abortions have been done for reasons other than Rape, Incest, and/or the life of the mother being endangered, there can be only one other reason: convenience (read: SELFISHNESS).

    Abortion on Demand is Infant and Baby Murder, and anyone who says otherwise is naiive at best, lying through their teeth at worst....

    And I'm sure, cleo, you have some sort of reference or proof to back up your claim that these weren't POWs? As far as I've heard, President Bush said nothing of the kind....

    Where was all of this hoopla when Takanohana was baring his teeth after winning tourneys against Akebono, Musashimaru, and even his own brother, Wakanohana? How often, after slapping down an opponent and winning a trophy, did Takanohana show unrestrained emotion (yet not a word of criticism)? What a pathetic double-standard! Here Asashoryu was roasted by the press prior to the last tourney, with many calling for him to just hang it up, then he comeso ut, goes 5-1, wins the yusho, and, after an emotional victory over a very good opponent, with al the drama one could ask for, he pumps his fists in victory......and the JSA issues a "stern warning".

    God forbid we have fun in Sumo. God forbid we actually enjoy ourselves when we win! This is more anti-Asashoryu Baloney that has no place in Sumo, or anywhere else.

    likeitis, stop defending a jealous JSA Chief who seems to have too much time on his hands, in that he has to fault Asa, his beya, and the Oyaji. If this JSA Chief has to nitpick, then he needs to be removed from his position.

    I like how people say that these captured terrorists -- apprehendedi n battle from the battlefield -- have been "held without being charged". The USA held thousands of German, Italian, and Japanese combatants sixty-plus years ago, too, without charges being laid at their feet. The reason they were held? THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL AMERICANS DURING A TIME OF WAR!!!!!!!!!!

    What is the "charge" that is laid at these Terrorists' feet at Guantanamo Bay? THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL AMERICNAS DURING A TIME OF WAR!!!!!!!

    That's why POWs are called "POWs" - they are captured durign a time of war. The USA is currently engaged in a war agaisnt Islamic Terror. The terrorists being held in Gitmo, Cuba, are POWs. They are and have been charged with one thing, and the only thing that should keep them in Gitmo until the War on Terror is over: they are enemy combatants who tried to kill Americans, captured on the field of Battle.

    Mr. Obama, with a swipe of his pen (the pen is mightier than the sword?), has made it easier for enemy combatants in a time of war to kill Americans.....

    How about, first, making it a law to treat foreigners equally and as people? After all, being the butt of some arrogant Japanese person's racist and bigoted comment or joke is really no fun.

    ANY Teacher -- foreign ESL/EFL, or Native Japanese -- gets the stress of disgruntled parents who come in to complain and ask why their brats-of-children aren't passing. That's why it is ALWAYS necessary to have ALL records of students on file, to prove that hese parents' children aren't pulling their weight in order to pass. Even then, such concrete proof of their childrens' nonactivity in class isn't enough....

    Posted in: The number of people who want to be teachers is decreasing. Many use up so much of their energy dealing with unruly parents that they get sick, and quit.

    If President Obama is so much about "home" and "change", why are so many old Clinton Cronies (including a Clinton herself) in his cabinet? Didn't he pledge to clean up Washington? How does having the flotsam and jetsam of the Clinton Administration further that purpose?

    Talk IS cheap!

    Posted in: Obama's speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as 'yes, we can,' 'change' and 'hope' that even Japanese people can memorize.

    These news reporters who say Asa is overweight, out-of-shape, and basically should retire will be eating a lot of crow after this basho, I think....

    How is this a crime, especially when Japanese women and girls (at an ever increasingly younger age) wear those short shorts, EVEN IN WINTER?

    President Bush will go down as one of the worst, thanks to an incessantly and increasingly more hostile media. However, history will prove him to have been one of the best. People have been bandying aobut how President Bush was omehow responsible for 9/11/01, but how can the man have been responsible when he had been on the job only ieght months before it occurred, when his predecessor had been on for eight, had the chance to get bin Laden, and let him go?

    President Bush has been a great President of the USA. The USA and the world, are better off because of him.

    Think about this question:

    Which is more expenisve, and more valuable: An original by Michaelangelo, or a reprint?

    Granted, Hollywood fare from any generation or era probably could not compare, nor should be compared, to artowrk form a Renaissence Artist, but as with artwork, so it is also with classic movies: the "modernized" version, the "reprint", the "updated" product will never be as good as the original. As others have said, the movies from the classic era were done with a lot of care, and the people who made them, acted in them, and did their thing put more into them than today's movie makers do, with the exception of a very small number of cators and directors.

    As others have said, today's movies are SFX masterpieces, but in most cases (though not all), the SFX overshadow the acting; that, and most actors beign shown on the screen today don't have the ability to be diverse in their roles as actors did back then. Take Sofia Loren for example: here is a lady that had not only gorgeous good looks, but could play a wide range of roles, from Caesar's Daughter in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire to a less-than-virtuos character in Man of LaMancha. Audrey Hepburn had that kind of range, as well, as did several male actors, such as Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, and Burt Lancaster. There just is not that kind of range with modern actors and actresses, save for a few exceptions...

    Posted in: Why are Hollywood remakes of classic films, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" being a recent example, generally inferior to the originals?
