You have to be really REALLY low to try and harm people who are already suffering and having health issues AND the doctors and nurses that are capable of HELPING their patients. Hope the bomber found out how quickly harming the innocent and unprotected will give them a one way trip to an extremely unpleasant place.

Seems like "the decay of morality" in society isn't just limited to Japan. Just recently there have been groups of teens around the nation in the US that have been targeting, beating, or harming random people or the homeless around the US. This is what happens when countries lose the "right and wrong" ethical base in a society and without consequences and enforcement of some sense of morals this will continue to get worse. Golden rule needs to be taught please, and IMO when teens do something like this to others maybe it just needs to be done back to them as punishment so they get the picture.

The virus was definitely from Isreal (it also affected some US nuclear plant systems of the same model type from what I've read), as for the scientist assassinations, could be and could be someone else that Iran doesn't suspect at all...

I don't care what anyone says, don't have your children unrestrained. Even if the baby was strapped to their chest heaven forbid should a car accident happen and the child gets hurt between the mum and the steering wheel. There is a way to have your child fed while they're in the front seat (with a reverse facing child seat) with a bottle. Common sense seems to be lacking in the women mentioned driving with child in arms.

The only book I've ever read considering blood types was that "Eat Right 4 your blood type" Which is the only book that actually makes sense in regards to genetic attributes and diet that benefits you most. It mentions absolutely nothing bout personality and all that other mumbo jumbo thank goodness since its there to make you eat food that makes you healthy and stay away from food that isn't.

I guess household androids are still in the same group as the missing flying cars we were promised. Well at least it looks like scientists are working on it though. Once we get a truly functional household android my mom won't be calling me over to do measly chores and when you help your friends to move just send over your android and all is well!

Personally if its not a woman that did this it most certainly could have been some yak work. Sure an angry lover could do this but organized crime also can do some torture before murder too.

The least NK could have done was do some better photoshop work. I've yet to see a sincere mourner in all the ridiculous photos that have been released outside NK. Lil' Kim is gone and nobody misses him except maybe close family members?

Personally as a voter and a citizen I'm willing to pay a little more in taxes if it will HELP. The only way to "fix" the financial issues in the US is the same thing that always works. Raise taxes, cut wasteful spending (which is hard to do with politicians trying to cater to lobbyists), and of course make the government more efficient and streamlined. But many people won't hear it. Nobody really wants to pay more taxes, but if they're smart they'll be willing to make sacrafices to help fix and improve the situation. The citizens have to do their part, and the politicians have to do their part and with the way things are neither side is helping to improve anything. Can't have your cake and eat it too, and can't expect to get everything for nothing.

Only one time when I was around 19 years old the police broke down the door to the place I was living because they mistakenly went into the wrong apartment (it was the top floor apartment) and I didn't know what was going on except the front door came crashing down and 3 officers were in the door with guns drawn saying for me to freeze. Now I must admit I didn't have any weapons in my hands so my situation was a lot more favorable than this poor mans. To make a long story short, when you have guns trained on you your body kicks into survival mode and you get the "time slows down" effect to quickly assess how to get out of the situation alive.
If the NYPD was telling the truth (it can easily be fabricated with how this is sounding) then that man should have been able to drop the weapon in an exremely short time after seeing guns aimed at him by multiple officers, unless he was drunk or under influence of something... or maybe just plain groggy from sleep. Even then the brain usually forces the body to kick into shape when one's life is in danger, so it is very hard for me to believe that they did give this man enough time to drop his weapon. Doesn't say anything that he tried aiming at them so it smacks of a lie.

While I'm an avid anime/manga/video game fan I still go to Japan to see the traditional culture such as scenery, landscapes, hot springs, temples, castles, pottery, native cuisine etc. Spot on Tkoind2, best to promote natural culture cos not everyone is interested in the modern pop cultural stuff.

Same old Iran, can't get its head out of its butt. I guarantee you it probably wasn't Mossad or the CIA but some Arab neighbor knowing that Iran won't look around any further than those two countries so they can go on about their own black ops without being found out. Thats the problem with being tunnel-visioned.

I agree with Molenir, I'm sure if the CIA wanted to carry out an assassination it would have been made to look more like an "accident" like a heart attack or car accident etc. This might not even be mossad, but some other Arab nation that doesn't want Iran to be nuclear armed. Its just so easy to blame Israel and the US so if it was some other nation they'll never be found out because of the typical Iranian scapegoating propaganda.

And another bunch of fools making themselves look worse than they have to. While nobody really condones what they've done (this is the society that makes people like this, if you don't believe me just watch your local news if you're in the US...) its always going to be at the forefront of the news when people behave badly. Taliban are no better, but acting stupid on purpose just shows how much wisdom is lacking in many of the people allowed to enlist in the military now. There are gang members, and then your average dumb gun joe that are put in just to fill a recruitment quota which helps lead up to epic fail moments like these. Thanks for making a video of your idiocy guys... I'm sure many of your comrades would love to help re-educate you on proper conduct, dead corpse or no.

After seeing the photos where literally there were millions to billions of galaxies, knowing that there are billions of planets in the Milky Way doesn't really surprise me at all and is kind of a "meh" announcement. Now how many folks still want to keep up the facade that there isn't life on other planets...

Depends on how the neighbors are going to deal with it. I don't think even if the US stepped aside (we'll probably be giving Isreal more weapons and such for some monetary compensation) that Iran's surrounding neighbors will be tolerating it either and will be boosting their own espionage missions into Iran.

Well, all we know is someone's black ops worked just like it was supposed too. I hate seeing a scientist go out by intentional murder, but this is what espionage is about... to protect many at the cost of a few. I really hope Iran will be revolutionized or something. The people need their country back from the overzealous nuts running Iran in the first place. Sins of the fathers will always visit the children...

Glad to see some pirates taken out. The Iranian people don't really have a grudge against the US, so it was awsome the ship didn't give a hoot about contacting the Iranian authorities about the situation. US Navy did its duty and went on its way. Good news to hear.

The man was not I repeat not trying to get into her house for prescription drugs. The first time he attempted to get in on the day of her husbands funeral stating his condolences for her loss. She refused to open the door and let him in. The 2nd time he came prepared to break in. He wanted to harm her plain and simple and planned accordingly.
Warning shots are a joke, and blowing out a window? That just takes the breaking part out of the criminals intent to make an opening to get inside. Read up on the Castle law/make my day laws. Its got nothing to do with the right to bear arms, it has to do with the right to use deadly force on an intruder on your property. As for calling out, "I have a gun!" thats like warning the criminal, "Make sure you have a better weapon than the owner does!" because obviously if they're not scared off, they'll just come back better prepared.
Last year in my city a foolish teen lost his life because he was found crawling into the window (after he had broken it) of a local mans home. The man shot the teen and did not face any charges in doing so. The teens parents were of course mourning and crying about how the boy shouldn't have been shot but completely would not notice that the boy shouldn't have been doing the crime in the first place.
@The Truth Matters, ask a police officer if a criminal wants to break into a house/car/mobile home NOTHING will stop them. Many burglars come prepared to get into whatever they're trying to do.
