Love it. The old man flees the scene. And the gov't is worried about teaching morales to the kids.

So what happens to the whalers that were illegally taking whale meat for themselves and possibly selling it? I find the rules of law quite funny here. If I discovered someone had murdered another person for profit by stealing their mail, I would be arrested and the true criminal would be off scott free. Funny sad, of course.

Likeitis... "She was so much cuter when she was younger. I think people see her the way they expected her to turn out rather than the way she did."
I've been wondering why Japan still follows this young lady and you answered my question perfectly. Thanks.

RJD yer logic is flawed. These acts of protection are not going to take place in either the US or Japan. They are taking place in the Antactic. So if Japanese whalers are going to conduct their "research" then their vessels shall be at risk. Go Sea Sheppard. I'll be sending my cheque in support next week.

"now she's going to be remembered for embracing piracy and terrorism on the high seas" only by the likes of killers like those in favour of whale hunting.
"They're targeting abundant species." Silly, silly killers. They are doing this for science though, right?

Prime job hunting time indeed TPOJ. From my understanding their prime job hunting time is during their final year of uni. Students completely abandon their schooling to go to interviews etc. So, while their parents are busy working their asses of to pay the tuition, the kids waste the year in hopes of finding a job that they will have for life. Worked in the past right? What an idiotic system. Things are going to change big time in Japan in the next decade and this system is going to be unable to handle it. Time to wait for the whole system to just fold in on itself.

Sarge said: A Brit friend of mine also agrees with this assessment.
So what, my Ugandan friend agrees with my assessment that Craig was the best. Who gives a crap what nationality they are?

I voted for Craig. He blew new life into the character. Made him a bad ass and much tougher than most of his preds. well done Bond.

People should just ask a doctor and forget about whatever the gov't says on this issue. Of course they would say that pot is harmful. It damages your lungs when you inhale anything other than air. If you ask a doctor which is worse, cigs or dope, well, I can only imagine that dope would be less harmful. When I asked my own lungs which of the two they prefered, well the answer was clear. When I smoked cigs I would wheeze like an old car on its last few klicks. I've quit smoking now and only smoke joints. I feel a thousand times better. Cigarettes kill you. Pot leaves me feeling just fine. Why is it that the government supports and makes tonnes of money off of an addictive substance that has been proven to kill yet treats pot smokers worse than those who commit infanticide in Japan. Ludicrous and so are all of those standing in the way of its legalization. Open your eyes and go beyond the propaganda that has put you in blinders.

Actually CMEANDU, the word "ghetto" has a longer history than that. The term for a poor area of a city is not the original use of the word. So, to say that someone is ignorant for mis-using the term, as theguy puts it, is ignorance itself. That of course is not to say memyselfandhim is not ignorant.

techall... I found his wallet, and get this. There was a rolled up pinner of a leafy, cigarette-like substance inside. I turned this in to the local authority to see what would happen, but alas, nothing has so far.

I just think it is funny how this election and its aftermath have really shown the who's who of the US electorate. I had always assumed that the republican base were a bunch of gun totting red necks who were often more closely related than most nations deem acceptable. Now, after so many of the less extreme have jumped ship for a more secure vessel, it is obvious. I would be embarrassed to be linked to that party. Unfortunately, there are just way too many of these lunatics gunning for Obama. I'm afraid the Republicans still have a little more shame to bring out.

The passenger sounds a little whacko. Has anyone checked out his girlfriend to see if she's still breathing? I mean, the way kids today carry on when jilted by love these days is a little bit excessive. Call the girlfriend!
