So far, she hasn't told us which Democrats are doing this, or what lies they are saying. Who are the "Obama-Biden Democrats"? She doesn't say. The National Enquirer is fairly equal opportunity with its lies, so that really doesn't count. Certainly people have questions about her qualifications...that's a normal part…

I suppose it's outdated, but it hasn't been replaced by any new form of respect. Respect itself seems to be going out of style.

No, but there should be a helpline available for readers to forward dangerous sounding postings to...preferably to police officers trained to sift dangerous from just insane sounding messages.

Holding a website responsible would basically be forcing all but the largest websites out of business. Do you think a website owner…

It has never seemed to me that trouble had to be invited. It just visits anyway. Is McCain suggesting that things are hunky dory now, and Obama will change all that?

I do not know about any one else`s math but if you have 46% and the next largest group has 30% doesnt that make the 46% the majority?

Ummm no. The other nonwhite groups would be seen in combination, so you would need more than 50% to have a white…

I grew up in the USA, and there was plenty of bullying at my school. Some people just found it entertaining to abuse others. It's not just a Japanese phenomena, though killing oneself because of bullying may be.

As far as stopping it, I've never seen a successful way to…

18 intellectuals? Did they have to pass a test? I have to agree that building another military installation would be insane.

It's nice that they haven't wired in the retaliatory barrage of missiles from the US ships stationed near Japan. Should be really fun if that happens...

First, I agree with kinniku. Sugar-coated popcorn is nasty. Second, I can't imagine not having plain popcorn at a movie theater, but if that's what people really want, why not? Maybe they can eat apples and carrots, in this way continuing to annoy folks around them with eating sounds and…
