No matter what kind of martial arts a person is practicing, whoever practices harder will win the fight. Style matters less than hard work. Strong arms and punching techniques can give you a great advantage in street fight, until you come across someone who is taking it more seriously and working harder than you are.

No. Fighting in a name of religion is plain stupid. There were more in the past, there is less now and there will be none in the future. There are fanatics on both side that makes this look bigger issue than it is, but they are not intelligent people and will not be taken seriously.

Hmm, he is a Mason and whenever they talk about creating a community they maybe talking about the new world order. Or am I confusing them with Illuminati? Could be great, or awful depending on the execution.

Well, he was pretending to be many things that he was not. Shrink? No way. Muslim? Don't think so. Angry and unstable? very much! Seeing negative posts about the religion becuase of this one man is very sad. Craziness has no religion and no borders.

I'd call cops on my mobile and take him down and sit on him until cops arrive.

I think the problem is that Futenma is right in the middle of Naha. Noise polution is the biggest reason of their complaining, and it's not hard to understand. I don't know if there's any other US base located this close to a city this crowded.

No! not at all. Why? Who has she hurt or done wrong? Who is complaining? Plus, where in her contract it says that she should be extra careful of her actions because she is a star? She didn't ask people to love her, idolize her. If anything, people should realize that they have idolized a wrong person and quit doing it. What people chose to consume/enjoy is their business and as long as no harm done, there should be no punishment.

Pulp fiction was one of the greatest movies ever. Loved it all the way. Reservoir Dogs was great too. Not that I like blood and gore, but the characters and dialogs were good. Jackie Brown was not bad either. Kill Bill is the hardest to warm up to, but you gotta love the humor. I think he is very ordinarily extraordinary director. Just the effort of making something different deserves respect, and he got mine.

I think this was proved pretty much as she admited to have done it for money. What do you think aboout this? Do you think moms should have right to distribute naked pictures of their kids to strangers for money?

There's always someone defending the actions that are unthinkable to most. OK SBbarnes, let me direct you to it. Child is harmed, at least because she will think this is a natural thing to do. Her changes of being respectable member of the community is crushed with her mothers actions, in very early age. She is almost guranteed to feel comfortable in front of the camera, exposing her genetiles her whole life. You may not understand what's wrong with that either, but just think how you'd feel if it was your mom doing the same. Making living out of displaying your body to hungry wolves is not respected. Not many of us would marry a woman who were passed around like a peace pipe most of their lives, would you?

Because they kill one of the most sentinent being in the earth. Whale is not a food. More I read about them, more I believe that they are not here for us to eat. There are stories about sailors being brought to shore by whales after their ship sunk. This is why they are called sentinent. They understand in a level that we haven't yet figured out. We know so less about them, but I know there's much more than meets the eye.
Killing them for profit is not fair. Not to them, not to the people like me, who loves them. Entire continent of Australians idolizes these creatures, are they wrong?
If Japan keeps their so called research mission, how can we stop other nations from killing them too? Korea is now insisting that they want to start whaling again. If all countries restart whaling, they'll be gone in a year, maybe earlier. Can't breed whales.
So I believe Japan should act like they are part of this world, and stop killing these amazing creatures. There's gotta be a law that we should kill and eat only what we can farm. Leave wild animals alone. Especially whales and dolphins.
