Junnama its called respect for a sport. It sounds to me like its bringing out something in you. Nothing overly sensitive about it.

Well shes been making movies for 20 years. Her acadamy was well deserved. In her younger days she was quite the Georgia beauty. She married Texas musician Lyle Lovett who is quite talented and good in the Robert Altman flicks. She divorced and remarried an out of the limelight cameraman much to her credit. she has paid her dues in Hollywood and mde some good movies and some bad ones. She seems to respect herself and her privacy and loves her kids. Whats not to like? Although Lois Griffin from the Family Guy did make a funny quote in season 2 -"her lips look like a baboons a**". I didnt say it-Lois did.

@manfromamerica-Ulysses has no idea what point he is trying to make. Hes obviously some kid who recently saw the Hurt Locker and thinks its his duty to prattle insults anonymously whining about the dangers American soldiers face because he saw it in Green Zone.

Ulysses everything you have said thus far is nothing but opinion and conjecture. Where do you get off thinking you know everything and insulting anyone who doesnt agree with your extreme opinions?. you sound like some teenager copying the rantings of his ex military Sociology teacher. The soldiers dont need you to speak for them. They are fine.

Its not lost, its just part of the War on Terror. We dont stop doing something because its going to "rile" up extremists. We dont ignore the Constitution of the USA because some radicals will be angry. You seem to be jumping at shadows and so scared for the safety of our soldiers that you are calling everyone names and pointing fingers. To not stand up for what you believe in because you are scared of the consequences seems the most cowardly thing of all. After all the attention this story gets, if the preacher backs down, extremists from all over the world will be high fiving in their camps saying "Yes, we did it! They are to frightened of us to burn the Koran. We have struck terror into their hearts!" This is what the soldiers are fighting to prevent. How do you know people on here are in their armchair? what makes you think their ae not soldiers posting right now in defense of this preachers freedom of religion?

Why do you have to insult him as cowardly just because his opinion is different than yours? Crazed individuals are going to blow themselves up no matter what. Some pissant little preacher in bumf::k Florida isnt going to be the straw that broke the camels back. Its broken. It was broken years and years ago. This is part of the soldiers job. This is what they sign up for and are paid for and God bless them. Its a dirty, dangerous job. They know the drill. They dont need you to start name calling on their behalf.

Human nature is convoluted. My speculation is pretty common ground. The number of internet liasons are too many to count. The Japanese culture gravitates towards the shy/embarassed/ashamed attitude of sharing your personal relationships with family so it would be very possible that this woman would not announce her intention to meet a partner for romance whom she met through a dating service. It certainly lends motive to why she picked such a remote and strange onsen to visit alone. It seems a logical and very possible thread. There are others based on pure speculation. Leave no stone unturned.

America defends peoples right to express themselves and their religion. America should not weaken that defense because they are afraid of the consequences. "Defend to the death your (his) right to say it." Even if it is the stupidest thing you have ever heard.

Terroerism is control through the spread of terror. It is using terror as a weapon. TO ask a preacher to give up his belief or right to express his religion through a book burnng because he is an idiot is acceptable. To ask him to do it because we are AFRAID of the consequences it will bring on our troops is giving in to the terror. Lets not do this because we are afraid it will upset the radical Muslims and cause fighting is EXCACTLY what they were trying to achieve by the 9 11 attacks. Make America listen, Make America scared. i.e Terrorism.

WilliB- all investigation starts with speculation. You say it like its a bad thing. But speculation leads to hypothesis which leads to theory which leads to proof and fact.

yabits, your starting to sound a bit fanatical yourself. Why dont you cool down the insults and rhetoric? This pastor is a moron, its not being argued. Like it or not, he is just expressing his beliefs. The troops are doing their job and protecting that right as we have waged war on Terrorism. Asking this preacher to not burn a book because we are afraid of the consequences is doing EXACTLY what the terrorists want. The have the White House and the General wanting to prevent it because they are afraid. They have made America afraid to allow something protected by its Constittion because of fear. Just being in Iraq and Afghanistan is needless endangermeant in my opinion. Any Muslim expression- bible burning, mosque building or anything else mentioned above is equally protected and rightfully so on American soil.

Its a false face if we stop someone from expressing themselves because we are scared of what will happen. If we are so concerned about endangering our troops, BRING THEM HOME. If you believe on something, either go all the way to protect or go home.

@yabits-I hear you. But why put on a false face? the truth is-America allows and supports its freedoms. If that pisses off the insurgents- what are you going to do? If some jack a** wants to burn the Quran, or march with the clan down a street, or support white power on a ranch in Idaho, America allows it. We cant say "dont express your beliefs by burning a book because it will make radical Muslims angry" in a country AMERICA invaded to spread the very liberties that this Florida jack a** is exploiting. @kyushujoe- you are ABSOLUTELY right. @tkoind2-You are correct. If only everyone could be as open minded. But there are ignorant people everywhere, and they have their rights to expression and religion too. As long as they are not doing the violence. The full blame falls on the small minds that allow themselves to be pushed to violence. If someone burns a book, or a flag, or stages a march, they should be allowed to without the fear of persecution. That is what America was built upon.

I think you mean that statement at yabits. I was agreeing with his statement of "Only in America". Burning the Quran is more of a freedom of expression and religion than speech. Countries without these rights are stuck in more barbaric times..

@yabits. Absolutely right! God bless freedom! "Although I disagre with what you are saying , I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Only in America! Not doing something you believe in (right or wrong) because of fear is the exact definition of what Terrorism is all about. I agree burning any book or flag is STUPID and this guy is a bottom feeding redneck idiot, but even stupid people have rights in the USA. Not doing it because the White House and the General are afraid of the backlash, thats eactly what the Terrorists set out to accomplish. Congratulations guys! You have succeeded!

I would think she had a secret encounter from the internet. She didnt tell her family about it. They should check her email and online sights. Why would she choose this particular place? Perhaps someone else chose it for the sole reason of its isolation. Pre-meditated crime?
