  It has absolutely no effect on anyone else, so why not?

  If a same-sex stay-at-home spouse is entitled to tax breaks, health insurance, free pension, etc., then it does affect everyone else. By all means give legal recognition to permanent couples whatever their make-up, but I'd like to see the…

  The only reason public opinion is for the death penalty is because the Japanese public have been well trained in not thinking about the world

  Not quite, but you're close. The fact is they teach kids in school that the death penalty is a good thing. They don't debate it,…

  Nessie - Those are the 'usual exclusion tactics' for those who are 'entrenched'?

  Four-Star General Colin Powell calls John McCain "the toughest man I ever met." I'll take his word.

  After his famous PP presentation at the UN I would hesitate to take his word for it that it was raining, even if I were standing in a downpour.

  If revenge was an appropriate response then our world would be in very good shape.

  Very well said.

  Sarge - It's only torture if they put a cloth over his face and pour the ditchwater over it. And give him natto slops. I don't think I would have lost much…

  Once you become entrenched to any degree the rules change and the usual exclusion tactics are the norm.

  I've been 'entrenched' a long time now, and in my experience that sentence is rubbish. I've no idea what the 'usual exclusion tactics' are.

  This man was a real monster. He didn't just kill his little victims; one little girl he burned, put the ashes in a box and left them on her parents' doorstep with a letter describing what he'd done. Really twisted little creep.

  He certainly did not deserve to live.....but the…

  It's a scandal that a 77-year-old should be the chief caretaker for another bedridden oldie. What's all this 'kaigo hoken' they add on to our health insurance premiums every week supposed to be for, if not to help care for people like this?

  Someone needs a hefty kick up the…

  I guess that means he's really innocent and we should not only let him go but apologize

  No, it means the people in charge of the war on terra messed up big-time; they could have shown the world why Western civilisation was worth saving from the terrerists, and instead they…

  The children are the only cute ones in the picture.

  The croc's cute, too. I hope they're not messing around with it like that just for the cameras.
