nigelboy and nessie:

The issue in this case was whether the injury occurred during the scope and course of employment. This man was hired to drive a vehicle on his employer's behalf. Encountering traffic accidents on the road is a foreseeable consequence of that occupation. If it was not for…

The problem isn't the death penalty. The problem is Japan's corrupt criminal justice system with its lack of juries, non-existent appeals process, extracted confessions, police who do not follow protocol or legal procedure, prosecutors worried of losing their careers if they lose a single case (and therefore choosing not to…

Saying that candidate mccain doesn't know how to send email because of his war wounds is a huge stretch in logic and an even bigger one in imagination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking Voice recognition software. Game over.

I'm not quite sure, though, but I don't think McCain's injuries prevent him from using the computer. They might make it a less convenient way of communicating or accessing information and if one were to say that, I could understand it. But to say that the injuries prevent him seems…

Dressage demands just as much athleticism and skill from the rider as it does the horse. The rider must constantly control the horse's natural gait, rhythm, and movement while giving aids that will be both understood and performed by the horse with obedience (even the slightest hint of evasion is…

It's difficult to single out Japan for this as it happens all over the world, unfortunately.

Why is it "difficult" to single out Japan? Isn't it still 100% legal to own child pornography in Japan? That is more than likely one reason why it continues to proliferate there.

Second, thanks to the media they have to suspend their job. No relation between their ability to do their job and that private affair.

As a news anchor for FujiTV she is a representative of that network. It doesn't reflect very positively on FujiTV if their most recognizable face…
