America has a new law of pursuing US citizens who commit sex crimes overseas. Once the Japanese are done with him, he'll face federal prison time in the US. At his age, assuming he's guilty, hopefully he'll die in prison.

Frankly, what happens beyond a nations borders doesn't seem to…

Obama can make all the demands he wants, but he is not the king of the USA. The legislature will do what it wants.

The original plans were bad, the ten-times-rehashed plans are just as bad or worse. They need to start from scratch, and proceed in a different direction.…

Re-writing history for fun and profit is hardly anything new ... but it's best to wait until all the witnesses have died of old age.

glycol57, The "solve it within our group" method works if you're in a gang, and is one of the "justifications" for gangs. Thanks for promoting more gang activity!

That's hardly "gang-think" ... it's the unwritten rule - only little tattletale cry-babies go running to Mommy or the authorities every time…

Stand up, mouth the words and who knows if your singing or not. If they call you on it, say you have a sore throat and couldnt sing loudly.

That's the cowardly way out ... the way people do things in countries where they've given-in to totalitarianism.

Toyota management must admit the horrible, horrible truth ... that the problem is electronic in many cases. Replacing or reprogramming the vehicles "brain" will be expensive, but it needs to be done.

The "vehicle-management systems" on many modern automobiles are very complex ... they attempt to maximize performance, fuel economy…

I suppose everyone has noticed that the residents of Edo/Tokyo did not continue living this ultra-"green" minimally-materialistic lifestyle. As soon as there were alternatives, they persued them with enthusiasm.

No doubt there are some conservation tricks that can be learned from studying the past, but it is wise to remember…

And don't forget "denial".

The USA is desperate to believe that everything is OK in Iraq, that they can remove their troops, and the crushing financial burden, very soon.

Clearly this is not the case. America is STUCK in Iraq for a very long time to come. Alas, politics requires…

I see a lot about how the teachers are supposed to "do something", or the school administrators, or the police, or parents ... but frankly one shouldn't rely on external entities to fix all of your personal/interpersonal problems.

The real power to deal with adversity comes from within - strength,…
