    Good news, there are hundreds of common exceptions to that rule.

    So they'll improve their image, get more fans, more people will see their movies and they'll make more than their outlay. If they really cared they would donate a lot more than a paltry mil.

    Pretty good game considering there was nothing at stake. Japan didn't have their usual passing game going but neither team had their best players available so it's understandable.

    The US pays more for health care than anyone else and somehow manages to still have 46 000 000 people not covered. This is a country screaming out for a public health system.

    Why don't they do what South Africa did? Too democratic maybe?

    All this crap about smoker's rights, communism, civil liberties...crap is all it is. What about marijuana smoker's rights? Silence from the wacky right-wing when it comes to that particular drug.

    Depends how strict they are. It's all carrots and sticks. If countries have to pay fines that are higher than the economic benefit of polluting, the incentive to reduce emissions will be sufficient.

    Anyone who wants to make abortion a crime should also apologise to women.

    I had no idea the US still allowed any kind of advertising of tabacco. In Australia we banned all forms of cigarette advertising 15 or 20 years ago and smoking rates have been falling ever since. Nice one (again), Mr Obama. This measure will save at least thousands, probably millions of lives.

    I wish people would stop crapping on about fate. Honestly, I was just starting to believe the average person wasn't a moron and now this? If fate exists, please explain how it works and how the fundamental rules of physics, chemistry and logic somehow don't apply to it.

    People in jail for life should be allowed to choose euthanasia. Everybody wins.

    Society must also work in cycles like global heating and cooling.

    Haha, very snidely done. Is there any evidence that could possibly convince you that global warming may actually not be a 'liberal conspiracy'? If not, your views can be discounted as irrational.

    Haha, no analogies please. A simple yes or no will suffice.

    Everyone anti-euthansia who has replied has stated their religion. Separation of church and state? Not likely.

    I was looking forward to Japan vs Aus but both teams will probably field 11 scarecrows now that there's no incentive to win. Stand by for boredom.

    It should be a basic human right to take one's own life, with or without a doctor to assist. If people are suffering from terminal disease and live in pain, their lives have less than zero value to them. We put down cats and dogs because we know it's the morally correct thing to do but allow humans to suffer.

    And most people who oppose euthanasia do so for religious reasons that have little to do with basic moral principals.

    The prius get 48 miles per gallon. That's damn impressive. I'm seriously thinking of buying one here and importing it back home when I leave next year.

    But if the lights went on, why would a mob be after you? That makes even less sense as they would be caught on video and arrested. Also, why would they attack the boxer/K1 fighter specifically? If they're busy fighting each other when the lights come on, why would they suddenly switch their attention to the boxer? Would they attack the opponent too?And I strongly dispute point number 3. Pro-fighters and business owners do not represent the community as a whole and therefore cannot constitute a 'common' answer. Point 6 is also debatable. Would you have 10 seconds for your cut-man to cut the gloves off with an angry mob breathing down your neck? Would the cut-man 'cut and run' (haha)?

    As for the rest of the article, I realise it exists but with such a laughable opening I couldn't actually focus on reading it. I scanned it for about 2 seconds and got the gist though.

    Question: In that situation, would you keep your gloves on? “Of course not!” is the common answer.

    This is the worst analogy! Firstly, if the lights are out you can't see to defend yourself and people can't see you. Secondly, if you were wearing gloves you would be distinguishable from others. Thirldly, how can this be a common answer when the question is completely obscure? Fourthly, this has almost nothing to to with business. Fifth, which sport are we talking about; boxing, K1, Thai boxing? Sixth, it takes forever to remove a pair of boxing gloves because of all the strapping. Can anyone find anything else, we might break a record.

    I think privatising GM again would be a mistake as it simply cannot compete with the Japanese. And when Obama says the government should not run GM he's not being hypocritical at all. He believes that to be true but right now the government **has to **run GM or it will go bankrupt and cease to exist. I think we can all accept that to be true?
