  Time for a new role-playing game, perhaps? You get to play the chairman of a major multinational and win points by bankrupting it as soon as you can by dreaming up the least successful movie ideas ever.

  Forget the significance or otherwise of 731, what kind of man-child allows himself to be photographed like some kid at a theme park?

  They even believe that human race originated in Korea and that Jesus is even Korean.

  Except that we all know that isn't true, now is it?

  Weed fiends are the scourge of all advanced societies.

  Ha ha! "Weed fiends". I feel like I'm in 1963!

  Lots of big talk will little action. Must be a communist thing.

  Communism is an economic system which, apart from in the cases of a few "primitive" tribes has never been tried properly. It's got nothing to do with China's sabre-rattling idiocy.

  Would you say destabilising Latin American governments, from El Salvador to Chile to Cuba and invading Vietnam and Iraq "must be a capitalist thing"?

  Does "The Truman Show" count as science fiction? That's a superb piece of work.

  No mention of Yoon Jung-Hwan and Sagan Tosu? One of the success stories of the J-league in recent years....

  This is good news. By attempting to justify the unjustifiable, he can no longer claim that it never happened. It's like a holocaust-denier saying "Well, actually we had to do it, to save the German nation."

  No way back from that.

  So, if one has a Daihatsu microvan, does some bodywork and a paintjob, then puts VW ensignia on the front, it can be sold as a VW bus? Nah, it still is a Daihatsu, just with cosmetic changes.

  Utterly irrelevant.

  DNA might control the growth of sexual organs, but gender is essentially determined by hormones when the baby is still in the womb. In a tiny minority of cases, those hormones create a female brain in a male body, or vice-versa.

  Some people might feel uncomfortable when faced with transexuality, but the science is irrefutable. Deal with it.

  This gang-type violence is rooted in poverty, not gun legislation.

  And yet Greece and Spain have worse poverty but don't have gun problems on this scale. So maybe the laws are a little more important that you're giving them credit for....

  No, this is briliant. As a Coventry fan, it brings back memories of 87. Well done, Wigan. Hope you stay up, and the Villa get it in the neck!

  Relax, my friend; it's not meant to be authentic. I've eaten some great Italian-Japanese combinations here. Give it a chance, you might like it : )

  those that reside in the US illegally should be made to register with the government and return at least for a day at their own expense to their home country. When they return, they can be considered legal but should never be allowed the opportunity for citizenship

  Sourest, most unpleasant post I've ever read on this site. Hope you never find yourself in need of a bit of empathy and kindness.

  if she was an hourly teacher or PT teacher there is no problem with working a second job.

  You're right. My bad for assuming she was full-time....
