Yeah, that's what they were saying and if that's the case, Aussies have good taste putting it at the back of the line. Nothing at all interesting about this sport and it's just played by middle-class school boys right?

Take it back to the South Pacific you guys. Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwn....

This was on in a bar and I asked some Aussies about the rules and they didn't know as they had never seen a game. They said it was only played in a couple of states and way down the pecking in order for popular sports. I was kinda surprised…

I can't stand the Yankees: the lot of them are drug users who should've been banned for life (Pettite, A-Rod, for starters). I hope that they lose, lose lose....

The lot of them? That's a big call. The entire team? You named some players "for starters." So who else? Do…

Look at the numbers over the past two years people! You'll see nothing more than a backup catcher. He doesn't even have the defence to back up poor numbers. What are we debating here? Sure, his numbers in Japan will probably be better because of the inferior pitching but I…

"Doctors lament the situation, saying people don’t understand how safe the low-dose pills are and blame it on a lack of education"

Yep, all the J-girls I went out looked horrified when I brought it up. Another example of what a misogynist society we have in Japan. A lot of…

dolphingirl you said it all! Knowing that innocent people have been wrongly executed is just too awful to consider. Imagine if that was you on death row knowing you were innocent. Fortunately the vast majority of countries are moving away from this. As Japan is decades behind the rest of…

A rubbish role-model that rightly shouldnt be let anywhere near his children.

Is this the same Brian Runge who was involved in the chest bumping incident with Mets manager Charlie Manuel last year?

Yep and if you watched the replays of that, it was Runge who bumped into Manuel and initiated the contact. It's all about Runge when he's in the game.…

Read peer-reviewed papers on vaccinations written by scientists not the scribble you might find on an Alex Jones forum. A warped individual who still clings to widely-refuted theories like those produced by Dr Wakefield.

I would urge people to read government and university websites to get the real truth about…

This scene could never happen at Summer Sonic or Fuji Rock, where armies of security guards are deployed to keep fans away from musicians.

Actually at Summersonic in Osaka over the last few years I was very surprised and fortunate to see and meet a few of the performing foreign…
