I think the Japanese voice actors do a great job of voice overs. The producers take some time and try to match the voice actor to the actor they are voicing. I have watched some dubbed movies from other countries that the voice actor was so poor that Stallone sounded like Mickey Mouse.

How about a little more accountability from the parents? I am tired of people having kids and then expecting me to babysit because they want the kids out of their hair. How about acturally taking the time to teach the kids to ride safely? How about charging some of the parents with child neglect when they let their children play in the streets and then wonder why they get run over? I can tell there are a lot of public transportation fans and non drivers on this forum from the comments. I like my car and the freedom that comes with it. Streets were designed for automobiles, if you want to peddle your A$$ on the same street, obey the traffic laws.

The only difference in Watson’s pirates and the ones in Somali is he videos his acts of piracy and sells it to the highest bidder. All you have to do is look at the SS logo and paint scheme on its ships to determine that he pictures himself a swashbuckling Robin Hood. No matter how much the hand-wringing- save- the- ocean- crowd tries to justify his action; the fact remains, he is just a egotistical vigilante criminal breaking Maritime law and putting people’s lives in danger.

Keep him there until he is extradited to Costa Rica. Watson is famous for hit and run crimes. He will take the first opportunity to exit the country to some safe haven and continue to endanger ships on the high seas for a few lines in the newspapers and another donation to SS. He is in the class of do gooders that ram gas guzzling SUVs on the freeway because of their “carbon footprint”.

The bottom line is all the people who have been riding the train for free are unwilling to pay for tickets now to keep the train running. Until Europe and the rest of the world come to understand there are no free lunches, you can only spend other people’s money for so long, things will continue to get worse until the Ponzy scheme ultimately collapses. I for one, am tired of paying for my neighbor to sit home and watch the telly and complain about the 1% while I go off to work every day to pay for my family’s food and his too.

Maby, but Toyota's response was almost out of TEPCO's playbook. They did not do themselves any favors.

In March 2012 it was revealed that Aeroflot is asking Sukhoi for compensation since the six Superjet 100 it operates are in the air only 3.9 hours/day on average instead of the standard 8 to 9 hours. "Outages were caused by failures due to technical problems and delayed delivery of parts", noted the deputy chief engineer of the Department of Aviation and Technical Support of "Aeroflot" Constantine Mohni in the russian daily newspaper Vedomosti

The Emperor and his wife have proved to be a truly classy couple in today’s world of tabloid royals. Even at their age they continue to get out and meet the “common” people where ever they live.

@Sonoko Ikeda.... I hope you got paid well for this infomercial. There was way too much commercial information in this article to have been written by someone who "realized this beautiful young girl is actually a boy" and spontaneously decided to gush about the “discovery”. The article would have been a much better read if it had been written as a straight forward piece.

You are correct; a significant number of people who patronize the LHs are just looking for a bit of privacy to do their business. Husbands and wives who want to get away from the kids or more likely the grandparents, dating couples, etc. Even the all night rates often beat the regular hotel/motel if you are just looking for a place to crash. Makes a great date for old married folks!

Sooooo Lizz, when your mailbox is flooded by instant approved credit cards, do you immediately rush out and start charging money on each one of them? Even if the combined installment payments exceeds your income? Well this is what the PIIG group did. When they became members of the EU, they started dipping into the easy credit to pay for less than well planned social programs and bad investments. It all boils down to the instant gratification mentality that drives many governments and individuals today. Now they can’t borrow any more money to get their quick fix and are blaming the rest of Europe for their addiction. No conspiracy here, just plain old greed and laziness.
