Gloves, they forgot to wear their gloves. Idiots obviously didn't learn anything from the previous encounters with the cops. Here is an example of what happens when kids DON'T watch tv, but sit around talking or text messaging. They've been finger printed before , but without tv to tell them what it meant they were lost. Hopefully they'll learn from this and watch tv and figure out how to stay out of trouble when the become "adults".

Bloomberg says New York needs money and he's planning to raise taxes and tax shoppers 5 cents a plastic bag to raise money and save the enviornment. Transport workers get 99% or 99.5% health coverage in addition to high salaries. It is easier for Bloomberg to tax the working class than to battle the labor unions. Obama will do the same. He'll save GM and Ford and shovel billions into union coffers..for the sake of the enviornment and the country. He's not about race at all. He's about the entitled class and the working class. Have you read about The Long Island Railroad disability scandal? That ought to give people an idea of America under Obama and his handlers.

I wish they'd use an elerly person to demonstrate it. I can imagine that balance and posture would be important for safe use.

I am reminded of a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of a starving Etheopian boy fighting for a few more moments of life while a vulture sat next to him. The photographer was ADMIRED by his peers!! He was cheered for taking an emotional photograph. He profited from it. He also gave up the chance to give the boy a few moments of comfort before he died. He killed himself years later. I don't know why.
If he can do it why can't everyone else?? He got an international prize..a coveted prize for what he did. What is the difference between him and the blood thirsty amateures..except for his press pass???

I SUGGEST that every Congress-person and Senator take the BLAME for any and all excesses!! Fingering Mr Bush as the source of all problems is FALSE and DANGEROUS!! The American government is a democracy, not a dictatorship!! EVERY person who holds a position in Washington with the power to vote is responsible for the current messes!! Obama wasn't demanding change on Wall Street last year. He was no lone voice!! Beware of IDOL worship!! Obama hasn't prooven himself capable of doing anything ,yet. Don't rush to praise him!!

How quickly do these "high tech" clothes decompose? As an inhabitant of this planet, I am deeply concerned. Are people wearing clothes that pose a danger to nature? And while body odor hasn't destroyed the vital ozone layer I must ask, do these clothes absorb the foul odor that a hot body produces? This young lady might look cute, but after a long hot day converting moisture to heat her "high tech" shirt might absorb her foul body odor.
It's no laughing matter , kids!! These "chemical clothes" soak up your stink and if you don't wash them immediately you'll have to throw the item away!!
Personally, I prefer "CoolMAX" which wicks my sweat away. BUT this heat tech does come in non-sporty fashion styles, so that is a point in it's favor.

Round up all the elderly at gun-point and move them to Okinawa. Force their families to travel there and spend money while visiting. That would ensure that the island survives and that the eldrly can be kept under control. Also the cheaper living will save the country money.

I believe many things! But I am certain that thos lights are blue because the people in Japan have no idea what the stars look like. They have created an impenetrablke layer of pollution to protect them from space. It is only now that they have begun work on the sides. But blue or what those lights are warming the earth...NO..they are hastening the warming of the earth. They should be exinguished! Are there any blue lightson your fancy and expensive jets?? Hmmmmmmmm...what would happen if some sneak exchanged blue for green or green for blue??? Hmmmmmmm,what would happen to your very deadly and expensive toys then!!! What WOULD happen!!!!!!!!!!!

I remain convinced that they belive the lights are blue. Just as the green traffic light is blue so are the stars in space! JamesT Kirk wasn't Japanese and the layer of pollution that protyects Tokyo leaves them to imagine what a star would look like...blue or brue is the best guess.

He is sure popular here!! I think people who use this program have to tailor it to themselves. Keeping up with him doesn't have to be the goal. Exercize should be enjoyable and satisfying. Intensity shouldn't be the goal for non athletes.

Did I spell Deli Lama wrong? Look at those people with their plastic shopping bags and fur-lining and all of those lights!! Sure, it's a pretty picture, but isn't destroying this kind of scene what Obama is all about? Change!! I see a Christmas with no lights, thieves and murders hiding in the dark testing stoking their knives and waiting for their half starved prey to wobble home from work!! Anyhow can't they wait until December to use these lights? Wouldn't that save the bears and make a pretty picture?

The way I figure it HE watched an episode of MacGuiver and attempted to make a home made blunderbuss. He stuffed some cotton and scraps of paper in one end and a few bent spoons in the other. Then he ....it gets tricky here..he must have had a fuse located in the center of the rod and he lit is with a match or lighter...(no holding that over a gas burner!!) and he got his ends mixed up. I suppose he really should have bought some yellow paint and used it on the business end of his contraption. That way he'd be able to tell in a pinch or in the dark (doesn't get so dark in Japan..it's the neon-there's a ton of it) which end he should be pointing at the voices or his deadly enemy!!

There is high tech about a hole in the floor. He really should have waited until he got off the train. He shouildn't have chosen that spot to end his life.
