The two teams I can see him posibly playing for is The Cardinals or the Rangers. Those two would perform nicely with his arm on the mound. There are a bunch of other teams that would love to have him as a started but I don't think Darvish will go to any team. He wants to win big and make a name for himself. And the only way he can do that is to play for a team that is a driving force for the WS. Since the Rangers lost a big starter and they need all the help to get over the 2 WS losses.

Start a community night watch and make sure these kids get the proper punishment when caught. I know the last part will be hard to do but to at least get their attention that what they are doing is wrong and can lead to more dangerous decisions like (accidental) murder. Sometimes that's all some kids need is a nice jolt of common sense and they are back on the beaten path. If they don't shap up after that, it's on them.

if the 19 y/o is over 6'5" and 220lbs, I doubt he can take me. Give me that 5 minutes and I will show him real justice. Too bad she will have to deal with the pain for the rest of her life.
Moderator: Readers, no more "Give me 5 minutes with this guy" nonsense please. It adds nothing to the discussion.

It’s not that they are risking it all, it's the fact that it comes too easily for them when they are in their position. As an average man or women, we are living pretty average lives compared to these people. Once you start to break from the masses, you become more of an outcast to everyone else. People do realize the pretty or handsome ones out of the crowd and especially ones who take care of themselves. People do see the richer ones by the clothes they wear and how they present themselves. It’s very obvious to notice around a group of people because it stands out. These people are more attractive by and large because of their status.
Tiger Woods never had the fame he has now when he was growing up. He did get praised for his skills but he never had the prowess he does now. Woods was still very young when he went pro and he stuck to his morals and values for a very long time. Woods has traveled all over the world all year round and during the time he had his family, they weren't around him all that time. He may have been a good husband at first but there are people that may have influenced him to let loose a little and take chances. In his position, the urges are far more accessible to try and his morality can be chipped away a little at a time. But that little will be more by the end to where he can't control himself. I have seen this happen to many people that were very good people but it’s the temptations that always get them. Some people are more controlling than others but I believe that anyone that are in these people's situations, they won't always be true to themselves and will dabble or even indulge in temptation. That's the part of being human; you make mistakes but when you make a status that high in society, it's much harder to land back on your feet.
Just as an artist explains: "Bi*es ain't say st to me but now they won't leave me alone Used to walk the other way But now they all come to my home"

Punk always recycles itself with each genreation. Before Namba everyone was listening to Blue Hearts, Hi-Standard was the rave for us 90s punk kids and this generation as more of an aggresive punk sound but it hasnt changed and punk will never die.

Yes, they have much different styles here that you won't see in the US or Europe. Too bad having a size 32 shoe will disable my style hunger.

“Egypt before Jan 25 is completely different from an post-Jan. 25 Egypt,” he said. “The Muslim Brotherhood is in a state of shock because they have discovered that the developments happening around them in society aren’t what they had imagined.”
“In the upcoming elections, we are expecting huge numbers of people to show up to vote, a new generation. No one knows where it’s going to go, and I don’t expect it to go to the Muslim Brotherhood,” he said.
I hope he's right, Egypt doesnt need another party to tell them what to do and what not to do again.

GReeeeN wont show their faces because they are real dentists. The whole identity block was started in med school and has been kept secret since then. Now that they actually practice in the real world, it may seem that we will never see their real identity until they retire.

no we shouldn't, we should forget everyhting that has ever happened in the past. Why should we look at the past when we are living the present and making the future?

if youre going to damage property or harm lives, expect to get smashed. Maybe they should hold these meetings in more suitable places like Russia and China. I wonder how many would dare to torche cars in those countries.

the more reports I read about this incident, the more Im starting to think that Pakistan does know exactly where OBL is located and is helping the terrorist hide what other seek. There have been other reports of others being arrested for the same situation from the Pakistani gov. Makes you think more about what the government is hiding.

When I ride the trains, I feel that is a time to relax much like when you are at home or in your car. Most people that are on the trains are either going somewhere or have been working hard or coming back from a long day trip. The trains would be considered a relaxing time to gather yourself or maybe think about what to do after you get off. Japan has made the trains a very quiet environment solely for that purpose. The only noise you hear on the trains most of the time is from within the train. Also, people forget to realize is that the intercom isn’t as loud as people think. When there isn’t that many people on the train it can be easily heard. But during very busy times, sometimes you can’t hear the train station on the intercom because there is so much noise in the train car. I have missed a stop before because of this situation and it was very frustrating.
For this guy to speak up is good. We need more people to stand up to people breaking the rules. I know from past experience where I would like some peace and quiet from a very long day when I’m riding the train. I would get angry if someone is talking about their women issues (private stuff that shouldn’t be said out loud) or about how they were reading this one manga and IT WAS SO FUNNY HAHAH. It gets annoying and that is why there are rules that limit the amount of noise. Listening to your iPod, playing your DS or PSP, talking in a moderate voice for others to tolerate is fine. When it comes to talking on the phone or other occasions, most people sometimes never realize they are talking loud and some people just don’t care. It is those people that ruin it for the rest of the people riding the train. It is unfortunate this guy had broken his arm on an oncoming train but maybe he should take a punch better, j/k. Maybe the guy could have thrown him to the ground and mashed him up a little. Maybe give him a nice rear naked choke hehe.

There isn't anything much left for the Officers and authorities to do. They do monthly briefings on sexual harassment and drinking policies, they make weekly safety announcements about being a professional soldier when going off base, they have curfews for all of the bases from not driving for the Marines for the lower enlistment tier to not being at certain drinking establishments at certain times, they also have different restrictions on what service members can and can't do. They are also talking about military that lives here for 2+ years. As much as we can call military members and their families guests, they are living here for an extended period of time. Things are bound to happen in that time frame and some situations can and can't be avoided. But we can make the proper steps to resolve the problem one way or another. The fact is that you can do all of these things but crime happens and the Military as well as the GOJ have made steps to solve these problems.
As much as it is bad that crime happens and it is totally wrong, we can never stop all of the crime because it's just not possible.

Hidalgo during the desert scenes as well as the ending, the two new Batman movies with Batman Begins in the syberian mountains and different parts of the dark night, Tombstone during the horse riding scene, Dancing with Wolves, different parts of Robin Hood, usually any movie with a big budget and a good panaramic view of the outdoors backed by orchestrated music.

Each country is different but I will say being a foreigner in Japan has been a very safe experience for me. I am very tall and seem very intimidating to others so I never get the same attitudes from others like I would in the US and some parts of Europe. I never have to look over my shoulders most of time at night and I like that.

“A 10-kiloton nuclear bomb detonated in Times Square in New York City would kill a million people,” Clinton said, referring to a weapon with explosive power about half that of the U.S. bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki in August 1945, killing an estimated 80,000.
That was back in 1945, the population has exploded since then. I would believe more than a million would die, almost all of NYC would be dead and parts of NJ and surrounding areas effected by the nuclear winter.

If Iran has nukes, best believe that they will sell them to the highest bidder. We are not talking about Little Boys here, our technology now is far more advanced to make a shoebox nuke. It will only be a matter of time before someone with a short temper and a lack of civility to use one for their own personal gain.
