Israel is really selective about justice. It has a way of using the UN when it suits its purposes. Israel is currently in violation of at lease two UN resolutions that relates to building in the occupied territories.
In addition, any adequate assessment of Israel must be viewed in the context of how they treat the Falashian Jews, brought to Israel in great fan fair only to suffer discrimination and humiliation on a daily basis. If they can't get a fair shake in Israel how can we seriously expect anyone else will let alone the disenfranchised Palestinian majority.
The regime in Tel Aviv is by all definition a carbon copy of the regime that imprisoned Nelson Mandela, the world most respected statesman for 27 years without trial

It is all a matter of genetics. Black people in general have much better skin than all other races. It naturally has more moisture making it to a large extent more resistant to wrinkling. As a result they tend to look much younger for their age never ever exhibiting that leathery effect that whites tend to get when they have been overexposed to the sun. They hardly ever get skin cancer or melanoma. If one really examine the facts, the darker the skin the better it tends to fear in respect to the effects of disease and aging.
It is just that white skin people has perpetrated this myth (and of course the Japanese deep down wants to be white), which erroneously attached superiority to white skin which is not supported by the facts. This misconception is rooted in colonialism as a way of justifying racism and dehumanizing darker skin people. Well we all know its all crap now and white people were simply just projecting

Kinniku it is simple. The point is that Israel and Iran are both guilty of ignoring the call of the UN to stop pursuing certain policies at home and abroad. This involves enriching Uranium to weapons grade, building homes in the occupied territories or covertly built a nuclear weapon which you have refused to confirm or deny. The connection is that both countries have displayed unmitigated thuggery in their behavior and should be regarded as equally a threat to world peace.

I think it is time the UN start calling for sanctions against Israel for its many breeches of UN resolutions.

I certainly wish all you Obama haters would stop whining. Now every dog's body is an expert on the Nobel Peace Prize process, offering their tired opinions and why the President does not deserve it. I say give us all a break! I suppose you would prefer to have a President that gets shoes thrown at him rather than one who is simply recognized for something positive.
It is no secret that Republicans want this President to fail. They have said it openly and applauded when Chicago lost the bid for the 2016 Olympics. Obama did not asked for this award neither did he in anyway lobbied or push for it. In fact the man was so surprised by the honor. I am sure an award of this nature can only operate for the good of America than any negatives.

It is shocking to know that the reason the Japanese authorities give for not bringing their divorce and child custody laws in line with the develop world, is protection of Japanese women from abusive foreign husbands. It seems to me that they should be more concern with how Japanese men treat their women. The case for foreign men abusing Japanese women would be less of a problem, since Japan as long been a society where it is acceptable or at least considered to be part and parcel of a marriage to occasionally hit your wife.
The Japanese authorities need to look more closely at their own society with its paternalistic approach that tacitly seeks to undermine the rights of women. It is often when a Japanese woman has had some foreign experience that they realize that their condition in Japan is to a large extent oppressive.
The idea that only women are capable of taking care of children goes to the heart of how Japanese society (or Japanese men) view women. It is rooted in the archaic notion that taking care of the house and children are mainly a woman's role.

I wonder what the discussion would be like: We the rich country have already exploited the hell out of the planet to enriched ourselves with no concern for the impact on the environment. But you developing countries cannot do what we did you have to abide by a set of rules governing the environment and even if that means no development for you. We got in first hahahah

Calling your ex wife an idiot i thought was the natural therapeutic path after a divorce. However, if she is in fact poisoning the kids' mind against him then that is not such an unreasonable course under the circumstances. After all, what does this guy expect? He wants all the fun and games but is not willing to pay a price.
This guy probably got tired of that Japanese "honey" and wanted something with more life and abandonment. The path to a Japanese wife is littered with miscalculations and fantasies about the ever after, only to find that she is patently predictable and boring.
Picking a compatible Japanese wife is a more complicated process than most western men think. It is only after a minimum of two years of strong dating, that includes countless walks along the gauntlet of physical and emotional interaction before one should decide.

The extortionist must be stupid to believe that Letterman would actually give up any money. He even struggles to deal with his child support obligations. This guy is a major to chronic tight ass according to the stories from his previous love interests. He would take them out to dinner and expect them to pay even though he was earning over a thousand times more than they did. I don't know if it had anything to do with the time he once spent at the Waling Wall but he is cheap, really cheap.

If Polanski is allowed to get away with this what message will it send to victims of rape. That if you are really rich and famous you don't need to follow the law. This guy drug and raped a 13 year old girl and split to Europe during which time he has been living large. Jail his ass

don't understand why the victim is weighing in on this so heavily. It has nothing to do with her at this stage. It is about fleeing to avoid prosecution and confinement a matter for Californian prosecutors.

Put his ass in Jail. What is the issue? He was convicted and left the Jurisdiction to avoid confinement.
