  Will anyone still be playing, much less caring, about this game three years from now?

  I'd be excited to hear what Davis and Hendrix could have done. I'm not sure how much McCartney could have brought to the table bass-wise. He was a great song-writer but as far as a bass player/instrumentalist I don't think he was anywhere near the level of Hendrix or Davis, or even Tony Williams for that matter.

  The problem is calling it "Lolita" fashion.

  Agreed. Looking at these girls you'd think the female character from the book Lolita dressed like a complete idiot.

  We had similar instances with Dukakis posing in a tank, Bush Jr. posing in flight gear and landing on a carrier... These are criticized because they look ridiculous. As if these politicians ever actually did anything valiant in a war in such machines! That is why this picture of Abe, someone who probably never flew anything other than first class in a jumbo jet, in this plane should be criticized.

  I find it hilarious that a Chinese person is complaining about poor customer service.

  Brings another meaning to the phrase, let's go get wasted.

  Or, "let's go get some shots."

  Obama and Holder are very close like "Chic and Chung",

  Do you mean Cheech and Chong? I admit it would be amusing to watch a remake of "Up In Smoke" with Obama and Holder in the lead roles.

  DudeDeuce is spot on. My first reaction to reading this was, Whoa, a dude actually got custody of his kids? Great!! And alas, he kills them because he can't handle the stress of raising them. Gee, thanks for taking fathers arguing for custody rights one-step back and giving the archaic Japanese family law system more fodder to give mothers the benefit of the doubt. Oh, and second, I thought RIP.

  The previous post was probably made just in reference to the last line of the article, about members of the US military supposedly not using prostitutes.

  OK, my bad. Still, I don't think any US or Japanese official should be confusing what Japan did with comfort women and the issue of service men getting "serviced" by pros. Prostitution really has no place in this discussion.

  So no US Marines are paying for sex in Okinawa??????

  The fallacy with your comment and statements made by Ishihara/Hashimoto is that you equate prostitutes with comfort women. It's one thing to head into a Manila brothel and spend your weekly paycheck for services rendered by a willing, consensual prostitute. It's another to kidnap women and force them into non-consensual acts, i.e., rape them.

  “There are many examples” of unacceptable and brutal behavior by soldiers in wartime and “to contain such things, it is a cold fact that a certain system like comfort women was necessary”

  This self-negating statement is akin to "We had to destroy the village in order to save it," made by a US military official back in 'Nam.

  Thank goodness Japan is essentially 99% Japanese and has isolated itself to such an extent that it is unaware of what most of the world thinks (of rather doesn't think) of it. Thank goodness - now this story will be discussed for a couple days in the media before being promptly tossed down the memory hole. And this man can continue on as mayor of one of the largest cities in the world.

  “There is simply no reasonable likelihood that, after successful litigation against Nintendo, Motiva’s patented technology would have been licensed by partners who would have incorporated it.”

  Translation: "This patent troll isn't fooling anyone." Good for Nintendo for sticking it all the way through to the end and not settling with a troll.

  What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." is unclear?

  You've got to be kidding me, right? Are you aware of that phrase being interpreted differently by a number of Supreme Court cases for over 200 years? And that the Supreme Court has still not determined whether it grants folks the right to bear arms outside of their home? (Just last month in fact they declined to hear such a case and that issue is still open to debate.)

  The idea that more guns equals less crime is a pretty lame argument and is refuted all over the globe. There is less gun-related crime/violence in places guns are outlawed. I understand gun owners enjoy owning their weapons and have been to the shooting range myself a couple times, but the only argument that stands up and doesn't sound silly is the one that says the constitution allows for folks to own guns. And while it's not clear cut as the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, etc., it certainly sounds like a better argument than "We're all safer thanks to guns."

  It shows how huge an ego those parents have yet also how shallow and starved for attention they are. Particularly the Hollywood elite, naming their kids Apple, Pilot Inspektor, Moon Unit, and of course Moxie Crimefighter... Hey, look how awesome I am naming my kid these ludicrous names, because, gosh darn it, we're just so special and don't have to play by anyone's rules! How happy you must be to know your kid will grow up and when people meet them, all they'll think of is you.
