It's a cult that exists merely to make money and should be treated as such. I'm sure it would be if it didn't have so many members.

It's only 25.7%? I thought it was more like 50%. In that case, why should smokers here have any rights? Get smoking out of public places like restaurants and bars ASAP.

Absolutely, it's over. Some bookmakers are already paying out. Obama needs to win Florida or Ohio or just a couple of many of the smaller states and he's there. Deal is well and truly closed.

Green Island sucks. It's just had too many tourists and all the coral is dead. Just so you never go there.

Why is there always some complete idiot who says 'Ah the wonders of socialised medicine`? Pregnancy is NOT covered by public health care. If it was, there would be less of a problem.

The problem as I see it is that there are too many small private hospitals. This means…

I think the problem here is the lack of socialised medicine. It is not extended to pregnancy because it is not a disease. I love Japanese logic.

The half million yen baby bonus usually covers the hospital costs but there's always the temptation to take the bonus and run.

I feel sorry for the gays in California because, not only might their marriages be annulled by the Federal Government, but a lot of them are being forced into getting married now, as opposed to some time in the future, as the option to marry may not exist in the…
