Spot on zaichik.

As I recall Leper/Leprosy is rarely used these days, Hansen disease being the normally applied term.

Reiterating zaichiks comments - Wow that's some front for a Japanese organization to attack Britain re Hansen disease. The shocking state of affairs for such sufferers in Japan reads like an…

After watching a re-enactment of these procedings on tv last night, I'd say the jury sway could be significant in many cases.

When the defendant was asked by the victims family if he had prayed at the site he said "...no". And when asked if he had some final thing…

BIG BULLY USA's embargo on Cuba is the laugh of the world.

Why haven't they been so tough with others their own size over the course of near 50 years?

US - Cuba realations under Obama can finally enter the modern era after years of vested stifling pettiness.

It's not…

OssanAmerica -

Good reply. Keep up the solid work.

Especially like the explanation of your "duh" statement.

While not being a fan of SS, arguments posed by the pro-wailers sure won't endear the many to their lost cause.

OssanAmerica - could you elaborate on how the term "eco-terrorism" fits esp in the context of your statements re the English language and common sense?

Pirates, Outlaws, Ragamuffins, Scallywags etc BUT eco-terrorists!!!!

And the fbi shouldn't be given the grace of owning the definitive.

And furthermore to your "if it…

The US's history of "terror regime" support in South America is nothing short of sickening.

Any David who stands up to the Goliath is deemed a terrorist.

How weak!

There we go - GOD again.

Since when did this "God" decide to bless himself on America and is this the same blessed God that others invoke to bless them?

Seems the world that is suffering so much is no short of the blessed.

The grins just get bigger.

The whale boyz & gelz just don't get it after all that's said and done.

It's not about culture, research/dodgy science, eating rights.....etc...!

It's about a time that has passed. No amount of ranting will forestall the inevitable.

It's finished, it's over, it's defunct, it's…

Is the US a theocracy?

Can an atheist (non-believer according to Obama) be the president of the USA?
