  Regardless of all that, I think your opinion would change if say, someone came along and killed the five most important members of your family.

  Really it wouldn't. The person who did it should be locked up. Killing the person doesn't help me in the slightest, as my wish would…

  The end result will be fewer travelers in the USA, or at least fewer air travelers. It might be a good time to revisit Amtrak and Greyhound, and maybe the increased business there will help the US actually have a full range of transportation again.

  Locking dangerous people up is sufficient for me. I don't think the state needs to be in the business of offing people, and as badly as most governments manage important things, they would be offing the wrong people anyway.

  There is no link to the death penalty preventing crime, and…

  motytrah, It depends on the field you're in, and where in the US you're coming from, and where in Japan you're going to.

  Japan is a nice place to live, though of course there are problems with the difference in culture, language, or whatever. If you are the sort who…

  Oh I see I misread that, but the other point is still valid.

  Cleo,

  Ahem, let me repeat, "For those whose countries won't buy equipment..." Additionally, many, many suppliers have agreements with Olympic teams to provide equipment, not just Speedo, and I don't believe there are 70,000 Olympic swimmers in any case, are there?

  I was just reading about the dispute here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands

  Just at a first glance, it seems that all the countries have some legitimate reason for their claims, so it will be interesting to see how or if this gets worked out.

  Well, the original Olympians were naked, I guess, but I think most countries, though maybe not all, would buy swimsuits for their athletes...perhaps even running shoes. For those whose countries won't buy equipment, I would imagine the companies that sell the stuff would be happy to equalize the playing field…

  The money is good, not all the women act like they're three, the culture is interesting, the temples and shrines are beautiful, the mountains and ocean are beautiful, the money is good, the pottery and roof tiles are beautiful, the people in the hardware store actually know something about hardware,…
