No mention of where these counterfeit brand-name products were made. If brought in from another country then how did it get thru customs?

Humans are the only ones that fight the **CIRCLE OF LIFE **(we eat cow, we die our bodies help Fertilize the soil and because of that grass grows and cows eat the grass and of course we eat cow).
Civilized humans instead of putting the dead six feet under in green pastures (or drop them in the sea to feed the fish which in turn we eat) we burn them up and put them into little jars or bury them in concret boxes.
If we just go back to the CIRCLE OF LIFE and practice it we wouldn't have this crematorium shortage.
Just remember that the CIRCLE OF LIFE is natures way or RECYCLING. But I do like aintgottimetobl post suggesting Viking Funnerals...it is sort of Japanese when you think about the floating of laterns each year symbolizing the spirits travel to the next world. But then again Viking Funnerals do use up oil and produces Global Warming so aintgottimetobl am sorry but your Viking Funnerals are OUT (at least in Japan).

Instead of charging us a fuel surcharge why not let us just bring a gallon of fuel with us to the plane (that way we could find the cheapest fuel on our own) and as we board the plane we just hand them our gallon of fuel and they can put it into the plane's fuel tanks while we are boarding.

I think I saw that same cow about a week ago after I had my second bottle of Sake (or was it my third bottle)?

Moot point people... in my view since it will be IMPOSSIBLE to move (get up from seat, move side ways..etc) on those crowded morning trains, even if you wanted to give up your seat you wouldn't be able to get out of it.

Azrael...because the Polar Bears are loosing their normal stomping grounds due to Gobal Warming, evolution has kicked in and now their changing from white to forest green to help them better to blend in with their new surroundings as the Polar region turns into a tropical jungle. At least that's what Al Gore said.

Another father-son stabbing. Wasn't it just last week that it was a Mother-son stabbing? Just what was the son doing in his room that seems to be what set this whole thing off. To bad news media won't tell us what it was.

Something like this happened about two weeks ago as I recall. The grandson will be found in some forest after taking his life. The grandson must have left a signed confession at the crime sceen for the police to issue a warrant that fast.
I still say that the BUTLER did it!

As parents it all hurts our hearts when we read this stuff especially when they are so young. I feel for the divorced father and the grandparents (who nothing was mentioned about)
May this little girls soul rest in peace.

At least she was polite enough to include everyone (it's bad manners to leave someone out you know).
Did anyone ask her how she would do this? with a knitting needle maybe?
