Please, don't martyr those gits.
Here is what I would do: One guy at a time, strap one to a pole in a square. All the women who were hit with acid by that man are invited and get a glass of acid each. Then someone asks the women if any of them thinks throwing acid on the man is too much. Those women dump their acid on the ground, and the mercy and gentleness of even EDUCATED women is loudly praised. The remaining women throw their acid on the man if they can. Those women are praised for upholding justice. Thus an eye for an eye is served. But the men still get some prison time for starting it.
Man do I feel sorry for those women. It takes a real nutjob to think teaching women is such a problem.

More like clearly defined market. Plenty of that in other porn. Babysitter vids are clearly western, and common enough, as well as "barely legal" teens in pigtails etc. They just are not lumped into a group.
This little tidbit is supporting evidence? I will counter that with the SM producers based in the former armory in San Francisco. Raunchy is not just the Japanese. They have their own standards and their own excesses, we have ours.

Everybody has conflicts with neighbors. But there is no reason believing a majority in Japan are anywhere near this.

Odd list. I guess since Bush's clout and legacy are so tattered he is not risking any cronyism? Or has it just been omitted?

I never get tired of watching Sean Connery. He is great in anything. But that is a far cry from being the best Bond.
From my point of view you cannot be a spy if everyone can see you from a mile away. Connery is that type of person. He is flamboyant just standing there.
Lazenby was believable, in both looks and character, which is why I think he was best.
Moore is second in my mind. The confident wisecracking actually helped the believability of the character.
Brosnan was disappointing. I expected more from him. But given the garbage he had to work with, I cannot blame him. Probably much the same with Dalton.
Craig plays Bond well, especially given what he is given, but he looks more like a Russian agent, and I don't like the contents of the movies he is in.
I really wish the franchise would stay in the past and stop modernizing, especially on the point of totally insane and impossible action sequences. I preferred the intrigue of the Connery days (and I think some like Connery for it though he had nothing to do with it). I wish they would just make raw action movies if that is what they want and make Bond films separately.

Sushi, are you sure he has not been taken out of context? I find it more likely he was citing a reason than leveling a criticism. If sales of U.S. products in Asia have flagged, then saying so is just a fact.

It worked for the Greeks and Romans, and even the Nazis. Spiritualism can come from many sources and drive people, and all three groups I have named were very driven at certain points in history.
I cannot say whether they are being sapped or pacified. All I can say is that I don't care either way so long as they do not grow up to bother others, such as the Greeks, the Romans and the Nazis did. Spiritualism is great until it motivates people to stomp on others.

"House negro"! I suppose that after hearing so much about how Bush was a puppet (and I sure did not object!), we better get used to names like this.

Yes, he got a piece of paper from Harvard. Here is what one of his professors has to say:

I suspect the professors at Harvard either don't remember Mrs. Obama so well (and that is good) or remember her for better reasons.

Surprised they did not arrest him on the spot. Is this an admission that people on spots on the road where they should not be are responsible for getting themselves hit by a car?

Probably no flares, no pylons, no warning, no nothing. And very likely the car before the car that hit them blocked the view ahead until the last minute, swerved, and BAM, no time to react for the 19 year old driver.

You guys realize this "story" is mostly make-believe? Right? This is like the National Enquirer on the web.

You could live in Nagano for years and never see a monkey, even if you sometimes go hiking. No worries.

Alcohol is a drug with terrible consequences. No one would have gotten clubbed if the man was stoned.

If everything goes belly-up in the next two years, conservatives might well say this was his biggest mistake.
I can only hope that if he does not raise taxes of the cash fat and bloated, he will at least remove all the loopholes and tax shelters that prevent the rich paying what they owe.
Don't feel sorry for them. Would you rather get paid $30,000 a year and have a %5 tax, or get paid one million a year and pay %30. Do the math. I suspect you will get by pretty well on 700,000 dollars. How much do you need?

You neglected to mention the need for simple proof to back up random statements borne of superiority complex and over-wrought nationalism, another facet of what is wrong with neo-conservativism, at least at the follower ranks.

They effectively ripped themselves off by panicking the minute the investigation started. All their rights went out the window when they sold the stock, and keep in mind they got money back, and everybody knows stock prices fall, no mystery.
This guy has not received any money back. Its totally different.

He did not say "just". He said the jobs could be created in the areas he outlined in this speech. Nowhere is it suggested that there were no other areas to be worked on.
