Right--Nikkan Gendai. Daily. I see what I am missing by avoiding the tabloids, the afternoon TV shows, pop culture, pachino parlors and the like.

This nut case was a convicted felon and yet he could get a gun. That says a lot about the easy access to guns in the US. Score one more point for the NRA.

This is one more hate murder within a fortnight. Dr. Tiller's clinic had to close after…

No doubt the so-call Right to Life terrorists are celebrating. Don't believe their phony condemnations of this political murder for a second.

Thanks for the correction B. So you can buy this thing on a daily basis. Yuk.

Anyway, i you know Kyoto it is a largely subdued and not particularly woopie-do city. Also it is not more a college town than nearby Osaka and Kobe. I academic culture in all these…

Yes indeed, a lone African-American blew away a military recruiter. This was a lone incident. Military recruiters are not plagued by systematic violence against them. Abortions providers have been long-term victims of frequent violence and intimidation from the anti-abortionists. Dr. Tiller himself was shot once and his clinic subject to…

The title of this article is not appropriate as there is nothing in the article to substantiate it. Gang rapes by university students in Kyoto are rare, as they are at Japanese universities in general. That is why they are big news when they occur.

Say what you want, I am glad. I hope the total smoking ban will spread throughout JR. Even a smoking section is annoying as the smoke carries. A lot of creeps will just smoking anywhere. A totally smoking ban would be paradise. Next, ban all smoking in restaurants.

To sum up, you cannot trust anything you eat because of the Farming Ministry's collusion with food companies. It is okay to break the law if it is only "temporary." The upshot is that by hiding the illegal acts of certain companies the credibility of all companies is put at…
