    Surely we're going to be able to pick a film off line and simply run it from cyber space, no hardware needed.

    Great it must be to live 15 yrs less on average than those who exist dreaming to reach the dizzy heights of the world reknowned culture of Scotland. Go on then be part of that great tradition of drinking 'all the whiskey you can', how very cultured. I think Renton summed it up best.

    In turn I didn't say that you said that they didn't have NO control what-so-ever but I am telling you they do to an extent much more than you're giving them credit --pardon the pun-- for. Just look at the reality now, a whole economic political system has been replaced --in a week-ish.

    People in Congress set-up here / dismantled there the apparatus framework within which the market moves, of course lawmakers past and present created the dimensions within which the beast moves, breaths, dies: Did you think it just popped out of thin air? Example: Who and what created, shaped and set Freddie Mac on the path it has run? An entity that did not materialize before our ancestors very eyes but one that was set up by... you got it. The lawmakers of past and present are VERY culpable in this mess. Don’t be so naïve.

    Congress has little control? Eh? They created the monster. Of course they have control, it's the Bills and regulations Congress passes that shapes the beast.

    Here's an interesting read concerning reasons not to bail out the greedy:

    More Democrates voted 'Yes' for the Bill. More Republcans voted 'No'. It's easy arithmetic. The NO mostly came because of a weakeness in the US political cycle, no lawmaker wants to vote for unpopular bills at the best of times but with the election coming... plus there is that lame duck quacking away to himself in the White House with about as much authority as a person holding down a job at Wal Mart's stacking shelves division. P.S. Watch the burning, it's all going down in flames.

    PROXY: Its not as simple as that. Firstly, there is no way America can ever repay its debts, and if the holders of Treasury Bonds were to try to recall their loans, the bond market would collapse and their holdings would be worthless. So, because those debts cannot be repaid, they in a real sense, do not exist. However because China and the other big creditors know this, they are much more likely now to purchase American assets rather than fund a government that has very little control over its own financial future. BUT --and it's a big BUT (rather fitting for America)-- China and all of the emerging economies are dependent on the US consumer market. Not only is it huge, but it is utterly undiscriminating. Americans seem to buy anything, even things that have no purpose. China regards a large part of its Treasury Bill holdings as the unrecoverable cost of keeping the American consumer market intact.

    At this moment in time the emerging economies cannot afford a sudden collapse in the American market. They have to allow totally bankrupt consumers to continue to get access to credit so that they can buy in the frenzied and crazed fashion that exists nowhere outside America. Exactly how this will be achieved is not entirely clear, but China and the others will have to accommodate American credit while they diversify their markets. This diversification is already under way. While the US couldn't see what was coming, China could and did. One way or another, it will spur an uncontrollable wave of inflation which will take many Americans out. Neither the US Government nor the Chinese will care about that. The greedy go to the wall, and the stupid and the greedy go even quicker.

    The poor in America and elsewhere 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)

    When a person feels -- I won't use the verb 'think'-- that their 'nation' is beyond reproach that's exactly how nations get into the position that America finds itself now. Mr Obama is gonna make sure that changes.

    Unless Mr Obama becomes PRESIDENT how is the US gonna stop the horror of its inevitable future, a future it has sold down the toilet by allowing greed --beyond any creed's imagination-- to take place of everything else; so self-serving had you become that you forgot to have a sense of history, a sense of humility, a sense of anything but yourselves; you couldn't --and then didn't want to-- see what you'd unleashed --at first upon us-- and now upon your own heads. I am glad the sewage is now backing up into your own homes; get a taste of what you've sown. Enjoy the results of lettin' that idiot rule you for eight years. If you had any idea of what you've done you'd apologize to the whole of humanity and ask their forgiveness and put Mr Obama in the Oval Office TONIGHT... but the gale of your arrogance wouldn't even permit us to turn into its ferocity, never mind whistle. Obama for PRESIDENT.

    If they stay on base and aren't allowed outside the bounds of the perimeter fence, ok, let them float around; otherwise, no thanks.

    XRC: If it meant that those who would do such crimes can be prevented or quickly apprehended, yes, I'd have a GPS chip 'installed', why, because I'll never do anything I'd need to hide.

    XRC: My question was direction at human society, not a specific region. Plus that kind of emotional response is not going to produce anything other than blust and blunder. Other posters have mentioned the sexualisation of children. I'd argue that the sexualisation of children is a major problem in many socities, namely in Europe and North America, it is certainly not unique to Japan --regardless of 'degree'. Let's not quibble 'degrees' for now. Let's get some fundamentals down.

    Right then. The death penalty does not deter, neither does life imprisonment, what is there then that we can do as a society to stop this kind of crime; or are we destined to be ever plagued by the death of innocent people from opportunist murderers?
