Dreams and what you see in them are often not direct images of what you see. That is, they are symbols of other things in your life at that time. I find a great source to interpret symbols can be found at ww.w dot dreammoods dot kom - you know what to do.

It's pretty common practice to deny bail to someone accused of rape. He won't be in a cell like most 'criminals' and will be allowed to move relatively freely in the prison, with more phone calls and visitors than a regular con is permitted. This is because he has yet to be formally charged. As there is no evidence of the accusations against him - it's just a 'she said, he said' pile of crap at the moment - then he hasn't been convicted of rape.
As for releasing the documents - to all you bleeding heart liberals out there that think he's a terrorist, a traitor and so-forth, get a clue! The New York Post; The Times; The Guardian and The Herald are just a handful of other media outlets that have also published the documents prior to Wikileaks! But no-one is going after them, and why? Because they are part of the 'old-boys network' whereas Wikileaks and Assange is not. And shame on the Australian PM for not protecting one of her citizens. Instead she chooses to kowtow to the pressure of the paranoid US government! At the end of the day, Assange is a bloody hero!!

If this is supposed to stop terrorism in the US, then why are Americans being scanned and patted down? Why are they allowing the Muzzies to scream blue-murder for being touched and allowing them to fore-go the security checks that should apply to ALL human beings?!
My friends invited me to holiday in the US for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, but I turned both invites down. Until the American authorities that run this facade get over their paranoia, I'll not be returning to the USA anytime soon.

Anyone who uses Wikipedia as a 'true' source of information is just asking for trouble. Given that virtually anyone can edit information, and also given that there are some real smacktards who edit the edits (moderators), the information is often misconstrued. Heck, I even knew a guy whose sole aim in life was to ''be a wikipedia editor''! Very sad! Sure, some info is easy to wade through, like how to cook scrambled eggs, but if you really need accurate info, go to the library or another established and accurate source of info.

Parents don't do much to teach kids manners in Japan these days. And if this had been an incident in the UK, you can bet your butt this girl would have had the crap knocked out of her!

I find myself thinking that this woman's story is complete crap! Just too many variables that don't make sense. Either that or bad reporting!

What a load of crap! When I was a child, my step-father would beat the crap out of me for simple things I did wrong! But not once have I ever felt the urge or desire to abuse my children because of my past!

It's a nice car, and I almost bought a Fuga back in January, but opted for the much more fun and gas guzzling 350z instead! :-)

I used to think Japanese girls were awesome...then I lived here for long enough and realised a lot of them think they are Hello Kitty Princesses, with their head in the clouds and not worth the time it takes to make a cup of coffee! Money hungry, self-obsessed, image conscious - and that's the women!

lol...a typical statement by someone who obviously doesn't use one! Spend enough time with it and you can do some amazing stuff with it. If you think it's just a gimmick, then yeah, it's obviously not for you. And if you're still using a 6 year old projector, then ask your boss to stop being a tightwad and get a NEW ONE!! Jeez, it's not rocket science!

Oh really? Because the last time I saw someone 'debunk' 9/11, he was one of only 20 servicemen in the forces, qualified to use a certain explosive and he seemed pretty adamant that someone on the inside had done it. Or perhaps all those firemen and civilians who witnessed explosions in the basements and on various floors of the twin towers were just delusional? Their experience in their jobs mean nothing after all, right? And absolutely ZERO plane wreckage found at the Pentagon or Pennsylvania? C'mon...wake up boy!!
Ahmadinejad is still a doofus though!

Oh really? So now we all have to be demolition experts to believe the video evidence shown several years ago, by..umm..demolition experts, including the one interview with a US Army Explosives expert, who clearly stated that the explosive material found at the WT sites, could ONLY have come from a specialized unit of the armed forces? Gee...and there we all were thinking qualifications weren't necessary! HA! Honestly dude...if you choose to be blinded by the truth, that's your prerogative, but the rest of us prefer to live in the real world!
