Rep. Joe Wilson is a typical selfish, greedy Republican fool!

Well, I'm not gonna say that, though I agree that his outburst at the speech is utterly disturbing and problematic. South Carolina is the state where people are strongly opposing to illegal immigration along with other Red States in the…

As the likelihood is they will be dropped by their current insurance company and forced into a much worse public option.

Actually, the most plausible reason why we'll see more people slipped from the coverage is when they get sick. Insurance companies will dump you by faulting your getting ill…

Sounds like a type of environmental disease that might possibly involve multiple factors including photo-chemical smog, asbestos, industrial wastes, contaminated water, chemical spraying, etc. Is this the disease driven by industrialization and urbanization of the city?

But China opposed Japan’s claim in August, arguing Okinotori Island should have no continental shelf as it is merely a rock that cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of its own.

I'm confused. What does this relate to China's political interest? And shouldn't the matter be up to marine-biologists…

I can tell you right now, that what he is saying, is vastly different from the bills that are being debated in the House and Senate.

It doesn't make sense to me at all, unless there is a final version of the bills passed by both House and Senate, and…

You don't want to see the truth, you would rather just take Obamas word for it.

The truth I'm seeing in the debate is that there are so many people driven by political lobbyists, worker unions, think-tanks, radical corporate advocates in the mainstream society(DC, in particular)who are bashing on the…

the problem is an internal affair for Indonesia and Tokyo is not fully obliged to engage in care duty for the local citizens concerned. A total of 8,396 people filed the suit against the Japanese government, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and others involved in the Koto Panjang Dam…

‘‘If a new administration ends the refueling mission, I must say it would go against the movements in the international community toward the elimination of terror,’’

Yeah, this sounds so naive in a political context. Does he understand who is leading what he calls "the movements"???

if he came out and told the American people what he wants signed into law, they would never go for it.

Please clairfy the term "the American people" and explain what they need most in the first place, if it is neither single payer coverage nor the government takeover.

It depends. Most products distributed from international market usually have the English names that have a clear/conceptual message to attract the consumers. As for Japanese-made products, most of them have 1)a message that doesn't make any sense at all or 2)a message that make sense in English but could be…
