Delayed from 1974..interestingly pretty much exactly like the situation in Los Angeles 110 freeway where there's a 6 mile gap that has never been built for 30 years because of continuous local opposition. Oh, difference is we're still under construction delay. And we have eminent domain! They just manage to…

I see, you guys are comparing Japanese crap movies with what..I'll list the top movies showing in Hollywood today: Saw VI, Astroboy (based on a brilliant Japanese manga and animation), the Vampire's assistant, Where the Wild things are (go see that one!), Couples Retreat, oh and Zombieland.

They're a mixed bag. Michelen's pros are their critics are always anonymous, their criteria is secret, and their top picks are consistently good. Their cons are they overemphasize the importance of wine-lists (being very French-centric), hence no matter how good your cuisine is it doesn't matter if it doesn't go…

Great, sounds like the Olympics is just making it worse by giving everyone a monetary reason to collect turf before cashing in during the games.

I've seen the same thing about dentists, they're decades behind and not very good. This is based on lots of doctors and people who've gone to both Japanese and the US. On the other hand, I've heard good things about other doctors.

They need to throw all prosecutors in jail, for not stopping copyright infringment and going after the real criminals. Just goes to show they're more interested in publicity than upholding what the law actually says.

7 years of dithering by Cheney and Bush on Afghanistan, what a joke. The depths of self-ignorance never fail to impress.

Renouncing war forever doesn't mean rearming yourself and going to other countries to fire guns. It's just a matter of time before you're fighting wars again, eventually starting them again. Don't even try to justify it.

Good points actually, thieves are always looking for unattended locations. Broken Window phenomenon has nothing to do with social psychology, even though people sell it as such. In reality, crooks are thinking rationally about where to break in for the very reason that they're looking for a place that nobody…
