Some cars are over a hundred years old. I love old cars like at these rallies because they are beautifully made, and made to last.

Some of those old cars are actually electric cars. Some are steam, some are kerosene, and did you know the earliest Fords were designed to…

Well actually I don't think there is a shortage of nurses or Japanese people wanting to become nurses. But I strongly suspect there are politically powerful people wanting to bring in cheap (and compliant) workers for various bad reasons. I'd allow my kids to become doctors or nurses or…

Japan doesn't need or want Indonesian nurses or staff at the many homes where they quietly euthanase the elderly.

Japanese prefer Japanese people to administer care, and rightly so. Do old people want foreigners looking after them? I highly doubt many would.

Japan has too many doctors and there are4…

Some good could come from this. Once people see what those people are really like then perhaps they will start looking after themselves and their countries instead of bending over backwards making excuses for them.

Calling these sea-thieves 'pirates' is a bit too much of a promotion. They are just…

A little while ago I witnessed a small boy marching directly across a five-way intersection full of cars. I was on a bike and I sort-of herded him to the other side of the road. - He was in a bad mood and had just ran off from his mother's…

What a bloodthirsty lot you are. This was an accident. A tragic accident. Anyone who says they would watch their small kids every moment obcviously doesn't have any.

Could it have been avoided? Maybe. I think the chances of it happening would have been small had the car been a…

Unfortunately the poster commenting on the large criminal population of (mostly) Muslims in Sweden make for it being extremely deangerous. But it is the same in all Scandinavian countries.

If one makes the effort to read deeper into the situation in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark they will find a…

I was amused when I read words to the effect of European & Asian car manufacturers competing not with US car makers but the US government. How are they competitive? Compete with typical US graft, corruption, incompetence, shoddy workmanship and lies?

What was that 'Russian' car? That two-stroke 600 CC…

Posted in Obama is saying that the auto industry represents the spirit of America, so they're not going to let it just disappear. So basically, this means that Japanese and European automakers who will be competing with GM will really be competing with the U.S. government from now. at 03:34 PM JST - 1st April
