  It was a lousy concept back in the 70's, so why would bringing it back 40 years later somehow magically get better? Obviously studio executives never read or heard the words of George Santayana.

  We want a strong Greece within the eurozone, and Germany is prepared to offer all necessary assistance...

  Perhaps that type of assistance means shedding some of the weaker economies of the Eurozone.

  I suppose we'll see if Japanese law if the guilty act alone is sufficient to lock away someone.

  If Japan want's a jet that'll out perform and out maneuver the Chengdu J-20 or the Sukhoi T-50 - you'd better be prepared to spend the huge amount of cash needed to develop it. Otherwise, resort to much less expensive swarm method attack strategies using aircraft such as F/A-18's to do the job.

  The cyberattacks threatened to cause deep damage to Sony’s brand image...

  I thought the quality of their products (at least anything that's smaller than a shoebox) is what actually damaged their brand image?

  The fact that you can't find a White Castle in Georgia is reason enough not to go.

  This coming from someone who claimed the Arab Spring would only afflict those nations who had favorable relations with the West. Guess Syrian Spring blew that concept away.

  But it does have a lot to do with the U.S.A. being up to its ears in debt to China.

  So how come Japan use this leverage you are implying about? After all, back in 2010 Japan owned 9.6% of the US debt, and China owned 9.8%. You'd think that the US would be at Japan's beck-and-call each time the Japanese government snapped its fingers?

  Must be oil or gold in them hills to make this trip - otherwise, it's an unusual act of altruism.

  What in the world was he doing hanging from the ledge anyway? Like what Asagao mentioned, it's not clear if coercion or a wild dare on the boy's part was the reason for this action.
