I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Catholic Church breeds pervs by making their priests and nuns take vows of celibacy. That the Church is rampant with pervs has been showed to be true over and over again.

I'll be that this latest scandal is far from…

Wibble: I see your point. It goes to show that the guy was a complete idiot.

Anyway, they'll throw the book at this guy whether he was a beast or a knight when he was with this girl. For his sake, I hope he did not penetrate her.

Maybe he…

Okay, everyone, what can we deduct by reading this short article that does not pretend to tell tell the whole story.

One thing that is true, unless further evidence points to the contrary, is that no abduction took place. The girl went willingly to Tokyo to meet this guy and…

It is a pity to hear that about the EF24-90L. It was not really meant for a full-frame DSLR. The greater the zoom ratio is the more problems you can expect, particularly when it goes from super wide angle like 24 to telephoto, even short telephoto. Telephoto zooms have the…

I don't trust this report that says, "A number of sources privy to North Korean internal affairs told Yonhap that Choe was executed last year to shoulder the blame for inter-Korean relations, which worsened after South Korean President Lee Myung Bak took office last year." I do not doubt that…

The price of this Canon is remarkably cheap for what it does. Check out the prices of the Nikon D3s and the Leica M8 and film M7 new.

It may well prove to be a boomlet to the Communist Party.

The mess that Bush made is very much with us, and Obama, unfortunately, has become a part of it. What will it take for the US to admit that the "war on terror" is hype and either charged the people it has detained or let them go. I predict that…

The US has a seemingly nice guy president but nothing has changed. Bush's wars go on, wasting lives and money. And the American antiwar movement is dead.

Whether the photos are released or not, the damage has been done. Americans are hated in Iraq and Afghanistan. As long as America continues those wars expect American soldiers to get killed.

Release of the photos might have the opposite effect. It may be taken as atonement.

But the military…
