What a bloodthirsty lot. You people sound much worse than the car salesman.

It sounds like a bar brawl gone bad. Obviously he had bad judgment, but then most people do when they start drinking. I'm certainly not condoning his actions, but it's also not the same as a cold…

While the intentions of this particular photographer may be have been unsavory, I can't think of any law that he broke. It's understandable that the author just acted on his parenting instincts to protect his child, but the plain truth is that he is the one that broke the law…

Mm, I guess it's not as many as you think since it works out to less then once a week over that time period ... assuming he took holidays, etc. ;-)

Methinks it was time to kick the chick out of the nest a long time ago.

She works at a sex shop, which could mean just a shop that sells sex toys. That doesn't necessarily mean she works there in any other capacity. Also, regardless of her occupation, if she chooses to say no to someone, then it's considered rape if the man forces or threatens…

Ugh...what ever happened to just walking? I can walk faster than 6km/hour, so it can't be for the speed. If someone is incapable of walking then there are other machines available that allow them to sit more comfortably. I've seen the other machines send the passengers flying when it's steered…

Some pretty heated discussions going on here. I think that instead of trying to change someone else's lifestyle, perhaps giving alternatives to what they are doing is more constructive. I don't believe that Kirakira feels her life or her children's are in danger by biking (any more so than walking…

Most of the reasons that this is ridiculous has already been covered, but I'm a bit confused at how people can pose as relatives. I mean, don't people usually know who they are related too? If it's a long lost cousin, etc, then they have a fat chance in He**…
