I feel sorry for the woman if she was really so depressed as to do something like this but I still think she should be charged with murder. All parents or guardians who kill their kids while attempting suicide should be charged with murder and if the parent was successful…

blvztk: Now, I've never seen that behavior outside the US and NEVER in Japan. A cheap shot if there ever was one. I was being civil about your post and made an observation about one person. I have family in the US as well. Completely unnecessary in a polite discussion.…

We had a great view from a building overlooking the bay and in general the fireworks were quite lovely. Unfortunately the wind refused to cooperate so we couldn't see what I can only assume were some fantastic fireworks. They were obscured by the smoke which didn't dissipate very much at…
I really could care less if the wait staff smiles at me and don't feel that they need to chat with me either. What I would appreciate though is the same person who took my order to bring me my food and pay attention to what's going on at my…
