How many shops today sell rabbit meat? Very, very few.

You ask a question and make a bad guess at the answer. Try googling and you will find that millions of people eat rabbit meat.

We do not need fur today and all the convoluted arguments in favour of…

I am sure she knew which ones were worth more. In her mind, she was going for the highest price, pure and simple.

This is why it should be reported what price she was charging for the pictures. That she was arrested for "indecent" photos indicates that the photos…

Even to make non-fur clothing, animals must die. So these idiots ranting about killing animals for fur should all go naked. Maybe eventually they will evolve back into apes and not have to worry about clothes.

The movie sucks, it's message is incoherent and the director seems like an idiot. Oh, and speaking of cows, this guy is milking the publicity for all he can get. Bad publicity is just as good as good publicity. Even though the movie itself sucks and anyone wasting their time…

‘‘Both leagues are appealing to me. I can’t make up my mind just yet,’’

What's the difficulty? If you want to ruin your arm and spiral into obscurity, stay in Japan. If you want your career to blossom, go to America. I would choose the Mariners if possible.

Although it isn’t likely to gain a seat in the national Parliament because of Britain’s first-past-the-post electoral system, the BNP serves on several city councils and... took about 6 percent of the British vote in European elections, winning two EU parliament seats.

A "fringe" party has two EU seats? Doesn't…

Yeah, and children who play computer games with their parents will be geniuses too.

You know who the really smart people are? The ones who figure out how to get grant money from a "major confectionary maker".

So we can assume that when Tohoku University professor Ryuta Kawashima was little…

Posts like that... are one of the primary reasons the birth control pill is such a hard sell in Japan.

Golly, you sure seem to think some posters have a lot of power. Why is it that anti-pill posters have the power to make the pill a hard sell,…

JenniferKim:

that headline for the deliberate purpose of inviting people to dump on the Japanese police. That's why they left the serious injury out of the headline -- then buried it several paragraphs down in the story.

I agree with you. The main point is that this is a hit-and-run…

Everything that was required to be able to move here was done with court approval and as soon as we got here, it was all taken away because we could not afford to fly back and fight. My point is not everything about these case is so clear to…
