Toys like that really need off the market. I don't mind they are mock guns, but if they are capable of serious injuring someone, it shouldn't be considered a "toy" at all. Imagine how many little kids are aiming these little metal mock bullets at other children.

Times are desperate and with holidays coming up, this doesn't surprise me. But still, all the time making the bullets and modifying the gun could have gone to putting in a few resumes.

I very much support it. I have a lot of friends with a wide diversity of religions and I find that just saying Happy Holidays is a great way to include everyone into the season without drawing in the religious debate. Although most of my friends wouldn't really care if…

I like how they add that he denies it. Of course he is. And I wear shorts under my skirts so sorry peeping toms, you are going to see nothing special other than a pair of shorts.

It sucks when someone with a little good will towards others no matter who they are pays the price for being kind.

That is quite true HonestDictator. Everyone should be cautious, especially if you are letting someone in a building to use something, and it is someone that you don't…

I like how in Japan they get a choice to be part of the jury unlike American citizens.

Being silent. There is nothing more annoying than having a one sided conversation because the guy/girl is nervous. And bringing up your bad history on the first date. Unless you are talking about something that relates to the past, don't overwhelm the person on the first date with information!

I agree with noborito. People will just find alternatives as the price goes up. People are willing to pay a lot for a fresh morning latte-but not so much when other deals for equally good coffee are available.
