I wouldn't ask my grandma or grandpa to cook/clean for me, would you? Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko aren't exactly spring chickens.
And some people pretend they do. They are talking to the Emperor and Empress well sitting on what is essentially their beds (On some level that is probably taboo as well). I'm sure the Emperor or Empress didn't want them to be in more discomfort by requiring them to sit formly. Prehaps the royal family has more empathy then some posters on JT.

I'd say in spite of Harper as well, he tried to table a bill before he has prime minister that would have banks deregulated to a more "American" style. Thankfully it didn't happen and the banks didn't need massive quasi-socialist corporate welfare bailouts. Now we have strong banks and high oil prices equating to the GDP growth, only thing lacking, a political party that isn't filled with politicians! The Liberal, NDP, conservatives and even bloc Quebecois are filled with entitled baby boomers, who seem to have the inability to raise above partisan idiocy, well they allow the fleecing of their Children's future. Harper or should I say Flaherty being the worst and in classic conservative style running massive deficits (the highest in Canadian history), increasing the size of government, well cutting taxes, a la Reaganomics.

I don't believe that Egypt or Tunisia even have offical governments at the moment, do they? The countries just revolted against their own governments, they're not exactly in the position to help others.

If Libyans are willing to stand against a dictator, well being bombed by jet fighters, why is it that Mexicans are unwilling to stand up against drug cartels?

Ergh, expect for maybe being a Jew but to some Christians there is no greater crime then being a Jew. Humans using human constructs to kill each other, a beatiful world we do live in.

Nor do all the murders in Mexico, religious clashes, etc. really have any implications on the world at large. It is however a sad reflection on morbidness of the media, and the world at large.

Considering the amount of gun related deaths that their neighbor to North has every year, everyone having a gun really doesn't make that much of difference.

When outside of an academic setting would you not be able consult a index? Law primarily based on citing case precedent (looking through a ton of law book indices). Accounting, particular tax accounting, is estenially doing the same lawyers do. Psychologist refer to the DSM IV to diagnose their patients and so on.
I've taken test that even though they were open book, unless you had a general understanding of the questions being asked, no amount of searching through the textbook would help. Make questions hard, impose strict time limits and it wouldn't matter how much access to secondary information sources they have, they won't have the time to finish the exam unless they know the course content well enough.

Let them do open book styled exams(Cell phone, laptop, textbooks, etc.) it is more indicative of the real world.

The same way, other countries are increasing fish stocks, mostly by reducing fleet sizes, re-training fishman into a different job field and increasing the costs to enter into the field. As well as enforcing catch quota's based on statistical analysis that would leave enough fish to repopulate the population and the introduction of fish farming. Common sense no? No magic wands needed.
Where did I say that? Geeze... I said Taiji Fisherman, have to focus on improving their management practices, to increase fish populations. Are they doing that right now, I assume not, only because of the lack of information available to the public.
Perhaps because dolphins have been culled. The fish population do doubt has been overfished by Japanese fisherman, just like most of the world fish stocks have been. It's unfortunate reality, that humanity created such problems but an unchecked dolphin population could consume the remaining fish stocks.

Although 6 trillion is not correct;
Bush added 4.97 trillion, a number that came be found on US treasury department website. He nearly double the national debt, spending more then all previous presidents before him combined.

The fisherman claim that they kill the dolphins, because the dolphins are eating their fish stocks. Increase the fish stocks, fisherman have no reason to kill the dolphins. Telling someone to stop something, without offering a viable solution to thier perceived problem isn't going to be that helpful, sometimes it can almost be counter productive.

No doubt in relation to them being culled and/or lack of food sources. If they were really concerned about the dolphins, the people behind the video should have focused on Taiji fisherman changing to more sustainable fishing practices and better stock management. That way the dolphins and fishermen would have a bigger pie to share. On the other hand trying to come a reasonable compromise and fish not being cute, don't get you into the lime light.

I never said that I really know the region and it's history. I have said nothing that isn't anything more then basic knowledge of world history. It's common knowledge that US provided weapons are/were being used to fight against US soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan. I don't think it would be far fetched to assume that Libya could/may use those weapons in future against the US, even if it's just an anecdotal inference based on prior events in the middle east. As for my prediction of Libya, it's not mine to make, it's up to the peoples of Libya to choose their own path.

They also get to operate with immunity for any war crimes that they may commit. Any guess which country insisted on the Security Council adding that little bit to the resolution on Libya?

Considering Reagan said he would do whatever it takes to insure that Iraq beats Iran(including removing Iraq from terrorist list), you are being far to modest in what the US provided to Saddam.
Arab-back Taliban? Really? Who trained, armed and financed Osama bin Laden and al qaeda fighters who later become the Taliban. Not any Arab nation, the USA via the CIA.
But you answered my question about learning from the past. If you don't know your history, then you can't learn from.

Do they never learn from the past, I mean seriously. How did providing arms to Iraq and Afganistan work out?
