Maybe it's me, but I fail to see an attack here. Isn't that a very reasonable thing to say? It was Takei's decision and it shouldn't matter, whether or not he is gay.

Escapism at its best. And I'm not judging. Just noticing.

Those rubber weapons are probably to be used for training to disarm an opponent. Well, that's the one probable use I can see there.

I opted for lost luggage, as well. But what about horrible in-flight meals? Food on flights really did get worse over the last few years, didn't it?

Interesting headline. Doesn't calling Japanese women "girls" add to potential objectification?

Media outlets should refrain from endorsing a candidate in a political election. Even though they have the same rights as individuals to express their preferences and opinions, they also have the responsibility to serve as the Fourth Estate and be an institution of check and control to governments. If, however, they endorse a candidate through his/her campaign, they are likely to fail this responsibility, for example by defending the policies of said candidate, and thereby their support, once he/she got elected. Also, throughout the world, there are a number of examples of media moguls, who ran for office and used their media outlets as campaigning device, like Italy's Silvio Berlusconi. The influence of FoxNews in the USA is also a good example.

What a scandal! Fukuda should move the next extraordinary Diet session foreward to discuss this critical issue. ("sarcasm off")

Chancellor Merkel's husband, Joachim Sauer, is a professor for physical and theoretical chemistry at Humbold-University, Berlin. He rarely takes part in such events. He was even absent from his wife's inauguration ceremony, if I'm not mistaken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Sauer

I think it is not just to tie the Senators qualification exclusively to his age. For example the first German post-war Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, was also 72 at the time of his inauguration and he stayed in office for twelve years. He was an experienced politician and, even though not very keen on opposition and a bit excentric in the end, he managed the gigantic tasks of the time with bravour.

I liked the old design better, too. The overview over todays news was much better. It seemed more organized. The new site, at least with an ad-block on, looks like one big cluster of randomly arranged news. Also, I miss the print view button that was very useful for people like me, who wanted to save certain news articles for further quotation use. On the positive side, I finally go my old username back, after my previous account vanished again.
