Well, it does not exist. They barely have a government and you want to blame on its "community"? These are outlaws, a very visible consequence of guns commerce. Of course, it they attacked cars that go through Somalia rather than ships, nobody would be interested, but it would be much more tragic. One long term solution: agree to ban guns commerce to Africa

Grande Pato! If he wasnt Argentinean, there would be a couple of stories inspired by his life. He was a caddy from a poor family living near a golf course. He was born and raised in a small town in the middle of the country, which in a very strange case nurtured 2 top golf players (what are the chances that in a 20,000 people town 2 of them become the top Argentinean players). In Argentina, golf is for the rich people, so his career is more remarkable for being poor and allowed to play when the course closes. Nacho

I wonder if he told Japan's national team to lose all games at world cups, too. Both teams certainly obeyed.

Do they pay hundreds of thousands just to enter and companies pay? I guess some of my taxes are going to end up in those companies' hands, just to keep the circle. In the end, everytime I buy an onigiri I am contributing to keep expensive w*ores alive.

The author of this article supposes that, if the US plays with "all its stars" in good shape, they would win. It is clear to me that the US is not as strong as he thinks it is. They accesed the semifinals just because Cuba was matched against Japan and Korea. I hope next time the WBC goes out of the US, where we can see stadiums full of fans (maybe only in Japan or Cuba can happen). The empty stadiums of the first matches in the US were a shame.

There is a great fear about what can happen with the society if everybody smoke marijuana. There are far more deaths due to alcohol and tabacco consumption... I dont smoke MJ nor I am willing to do it, but that is every person decision. I really dont see why the Government should get into my house and tell me that I cant do something I want to do, without harming anybody else nor disturbing social peace. In my house, I should be able to do what I want. Period.

Mino's salary is not high, come on. A daily program, 10,000 dolars per program is not a high salary for one of the most famous persons in Japanese TV. What do you think is the salary of, say, Larry King? or to say something only seen in the US, Saturday Night Live?

I used to do it with water baloons, small tomatos and grapes when I was young. In my country, water baloon wars are typical of carnival season. I was stupid, but as I was young (aound 12) it was forgiveable. Doing these things at 24 is ridiculous... at least he could have aimed to pretty women, so we could see some wet t-shirts...

I think the best way to defend yourself is by attacking. When a person asks you if you are half you then have to ask him/her the same. Maybe tell her that she doesn't look Japanese, ask her where her parents were born and, if she gets too anoying, "accuse" her of being North Korean.

I really dont know why some people are so stubborn. They know they cannot smoke marijuana or else... He knew he would be punished. If he doesn't accept this rule, he can go to play rugby to Jamaica.
