“This is a nation that has faced tough challenges in the past and overcome them, and we will do so again,”

Yes, we will. I believe this. In fact, I believe we've been trying to do this for years, but we couldn't because of the spectacular idiocy of our leaders.…

Daisuke is a 23-year-old “freeter” (part-time worker) who was careless enough to leave a letter from a casual lover lying around for his live-in lover to see.

Sorry, THIS guy got what he deserved.

Are people laboring under the delusion that "sticking to your guns" is somehow inherently better than "changing with the situation"?

And no, before you anti-Obama goons jump to completely unreasonable conclusions, I do NOT mean being wishy washy. Tenacity is a virtue. Stubborn refusal to face reality just because you…

I think Bush and Blair would treat you a lot better.

A pickpocket will be nicer to you than a rapist.

Remember when Clinton got nailed for lying? Remember when people said it was no big deal, that politicians lie all the time? And remember when we (I was one…

Er, the 320 mil went to people who cancelled their lessons, not to his pockets.

Which does nothing to salvage his well earned reputation as a scum sucking waste of humanity, however.

You're entitled to your opinion. And I believe that much of what you stated, while no one would disagree, is all with the benfit of hindsight.

What about those of us who have been saying this all along?

Can someone please tell me what Bush has done right?

Thus far…

This is distressing.

I think that Global Warming is greatly overblown, but that would mean that I would be agreeing with Sarge.

And as any casual observer can easily note, Sarge's track record is utterly abysmal.

Which makes me think this global warming thing might be an issue after all.…

5000 yen a year is less than $50, I think all teachers should be able to afford it.

Sorry, I should have been more clear: they don't make enough money to throw it away on fiction, even if it IS only ¥5000 a year.

That is is the teachers fault! What are they talking about?

The last one (sloppy paperwork) is a terrible example, but the others aren't.

The point is that, to put it inelegantly, s**t happens. And as people get more comfortable, they become less and less able to accept that. If…

Once upon a time, teachers actually taught and parents respected them.

Do you really think that's the cause and effect? That's not how people work. The idea that a whole profession is uniformly slacking is MUCH LESS likely than the idea that a handful of over privileged parents have ratcheted…
