Nice to see the intelligentsia is online in force today. A person dead and that’s all you have to offer? Dear me, sad souls. Ah, well, back to sharing some love and peace about. Bye 'tuff-meat guys'.

She's unethical. She's been found with her pants down. Case closed. Let the slaughter continue. Sarge, money where your arrogance is, a million yen on the republican ticket not becoming President / VP elect this November 2008.

So many 'people' open their mouth's and let there ignorance pour out, it seems that these same 'people' do the same thing when their fingers are allegedly 'engaged' with their brains. A human being has died by suicide. How anyone can find that 'funny' or 'an easy way out' is abhorrent and must bring in to question these peoples sense of self. He was from a society where this act has a deep spiritual --NOTE not religious-- resonance. Want to learn? Want to step out of your medieval mindset? Read Udaman, **12:10 pm 12th October*, for starters. Take yourself on a journey and perhaps, perhaps, you'll find some sense of humanity and connect with the fact a person is dead.

Shockingly bad that he didn't get to go through the process of law and receive either his freedom or a sentence. Tragic.

coulrophobic: When 'people' are calling out that kind of hate at political meetings? No. Get some light in there and see the ugliness.

'If I am still attractive', we really have come to that as a statement, how we look; what about the diamonds on the inside?

And the attack on the Japanese --for this Insurers failure-- is a fundamental mistake on your part because
i.e. they took advice and got involved in this US mess. That's how they came to fail. Japanese banks have kept their exposure low, if not at nil, --Aozora and Shinsei aside-- their --the Japaneses's-- model is not laying on the canvas and will continue to remain standing provided the engine of Japanese growth - its booming export sector - continues to sell to the rest of the world.

LFRA: Commodities. Diamonds and Gold especially, if its capital you wish to hold on to. Gold has never lost its relative value in thousands of years. If it's mute to you --the 'wealth' gig-- try a small holding in Alaska, Siberia or other far reaches north or south.

The Bank of Japan even managed to make a profit from the whole affair, through selling the shares it bought at the time for more than it paid for them. Read and learn. It worked. The proof is in this pudding. At least they still have zeros on their debt clock. Waaaaaaaaaaaay to go. (Get it?)

Just to remind you: Banks were losing money in loans to people who could not repay them and whose collateral, the value of their property, was less than the value of those loans. Japanese banks have the largest savings on the planet, the Japanese save money not just gorge on the natural resources of everything on sale. The threat of one of these collapsing had the world economy VERY nervous. Given their wealth and global influence, it was often said that if one of the big Japanese banks went under, it would trigger a financial crisis that would spread around the world. BUT that didn't happen because The Japanese authorities did what it took.
They slashed interest rates to zero. They pumped money into the financial system, just as America has.
But in the end, they took the expensive and painful decision to use tax payers' money to help the banks write off the bad loans.
The price was enormous. At least $100bn dollars went on the programme. The Bank of Japan lent money to institutions at special rates and also bought some of their shares.
The money came with an important proviso; the Bank of Japan wanted full disclosure of how serious the problem was and a promise from the banks not to let it happen again. When the figures were made public, they caused shock. In many cases, this hit the banks' share prices and caused anxiety to both customers and investors. Yet by 2006, most were back in profit and credibility was restored. The Bank of Japan even managed to make a profit from the whole affair, through selling the shares it bought at the time for more than it paid for them. Read and learn. It worked. The proof is in this pudding.

Pure gubuk. It's not Japan's seven hills burning. Japan doesn't want a polarised society where the richest CEOs on average earn 400 times more than their 'employees' --here it's 12 times-- the Japanes don't want your model because their's works for them. Parasitic? Laughable. Simply completely wrong. If any economic model is that its the American as it carves, eats, consumes and pollutes its way --and ours-- to oblivion. It was Japan that took the pain for it's toxic debt, not the G7. The Japanese banks purged their bad debts before they went out of business. No money from the G7.

Sat watching the BOJ release 4.2 trillion yen into the whirl wind of fear to no effect. Capitalism as we 'knew' it is gasping for breath. Simply 'buying American' is not going to even go close to solving what is essentially a USA caused catastrophe. What you are watching is a result of greed, unadulterated greed on the part of an economic model that America for decades has said, ‘Watch and Learn’, well, no, because all it is lighting up the darkness with is ‘Crash and Burn’. Buy American? To what end and more importantly… how? There’s no money, don’t you get that fundamental of this crisis?
...and it is the poor in America and elsewhere that will be the true victims, and it will be ugly. The crooks who spurred this financial melt-down will take billions in personal wealth with them to their tax havens. US corporations have long since stopped being American. They will happily transfer from New York to Dubai or Mumbai, or Shanghai. The exodus is already under way. And because American insfrastructure is now among the weakest in the OECD, foreign investors will cease operating plants in the US as soon as it is clear that the US market is drying up.
So the empire will die, it will be a slow change, because the merging world cannot afford and will not permit a rapid one. America's main problem is that although it is defeated all the time, it refuses to accept that reality. In the American psyche, winning, at any expense, even the brains of children splattered against the wall, is all that matters. Meantime, Americans will continue strutting and threatening to kick butt, waving their flags. USA! USA! USA! (Fade)
...and to call out Japan is wrong, wrong, wrong, you need to read what they did in order to save their and your tails in the wind in 2002, what they did with their toxic debts the US needs to do and ASAP. Japan, far from being a 'laughable excuse' is The Model.

John McCain is a vain, sad, horrid little man with an empty intellect and an empty soul, and all of these characteristics were on full display this evening. It's time for this fake war hero to fade away nicely with his medals and his geritol, and leave the running of the country to competent people for a change.
