if you visit Bali, you might consider visiting him. prisoners live on handouts. it is unfortunate that so many of the readers have written negative comments about such a harmless activity. I feel truly sorry for those who condemn this guy.

Questions unanswered in the world press: Why were Korans left on a US base in an unsupervised area? How many were burned? How is it that the burning was discovered? Isn't that telling? Are Service personnel aware of Islamic laws concerning the Holy Koran? These are questions that might be addressed. The violence doesn't make sense unless the action was judged as an intentional violation.

He never had the focus of Goff, Hawk, or Keating. On the end Gillard will be remembered as a first.

I care about him. He's great for what he has done and he has achieved a great deal.

Makes me wonder why these books were so readily available for mistreatment. I mean, I keep my waste in a waste bin and my treasure protected. This isn't the first time a holy book has been burned. And it isn't he first time an accident, or cultural insensitivity, has lead to many deaths. yet why the blood letting that in the middle ages we recorded as witch hunts. In all this we can see that the local people believe that the military are interlopers. I don't think we should interpret the US president's apology as anything less than a real desire to throw cool waters on an obvious blaze.

Most jobs people are interviewed for do not require skills beyond what most people have. The interview process mentioned is a cost effective way to identify complete ineptitude.

61 is not old. The organizers will look after her for sure. At least 100 tourists visiting the snow festival (and commuters) were stranded on several JR trains yesterday for 8.5 hours just 20 minutes north of Sapporo. It was warm and the melt made the tracks unserviceable. That didn't stop JR letting all these people board the trains though.

same problem every year. it need to be brought forward 2 weeks so temp is cooler. The warm air may be good foe looking but not for sculptures.

'Visibly rattled Gillard' was handled by the lean cool body guard. While she probably had intentions of her own to maintain balance here, the freakish side show of security had other ideas. Hey, those shields all made it look pretty scary.

If they are terrorists, they certainly don't follow basic terrorist protocols of secrecy and surprise. I don't see any deaths to humans as a result of their activities. The volunteers are generally better educated and informed then the majority of people on this website (no offense intended). They attract millions of supporters who would then have to be similarly classified etc. etc.

reported in the SMH
These three Australians are heroes for the whales," Senator Brown said today. "And they've come from a forest protest background from trying to protect the biggest living entities on the land to trying to protect the biggest living creatures in the ocean." Advertisement: Story continues below Senator Brown said the trio are "terrific Australian citizens and they deserve a huge amount of support".

Australia, the greedy country, will never have the Will to stand up against revenue, hence the banning of SS and the lukewarm 'condemnations'. Support SS with funds and ignore hypocritically weak governments. Be an anarchist!

I visited my kid's school. I asked about the pictures of the kids in the room. The teacher pointed out the classroom bullies. He laughed. Denial rules the world sometimes.

If this bid fails specifically because of the tobacco issue, the government, whose share in JT is substantial, might think of other ways to raise money. Though the bid itself at this time is merely much-needed advertising-they may not be serious about actually hosting the Olympics at all. Remember they are giving away 10,000 tickets to visit Jpn too. The 50% of males who smoke, I believe, learn the habit on college campuses. The classic peer group. It would be interesting to see a study that showed how people got started because school kids are taught the horrors of smoking in their government-regulated curriculum. As long as the government relies on the revenue though, smoking rates in Jpn will remain among the highest in the world.

The only terror I see is perpetrated on whales. The stereotypical bullying behavior I see reminds me of the exposed coward who runs to the school teacher when he gets hurt in a fight he started. Donate and defy the miserable Australian government. Support the admirable work of SS, most of us in our hearts would like to be there. These heroes put themselves in the line of danger. Respect their efforts and decease from calling them terrorists.
