What ever happend to "Plant the Seed and Reap the Reward"??? The mantra of the day is now "You plant the seed and I will reap your reward". If the so called 99ers would get off their whinning butts and worked hard (and I dont mean by sticking their grubby paws out) they too may have some success. But, when the "Masses" are promised someone elses money its no wonder the sheep vote for them. Something for Nothing always attracts a mob!
And all of you that promote and condone this mentality..... prepare to PAY! Only can spread the jam so thin till there is nothing to spread! Proven time and again, simply not sustainable. And those that dont learn from failure are doomed to fail again!

Sign of the times...... The public doesn't want to admit that it has to be more fiscally responsible! Those that promise more handouts (read socialist nation building) will garner the most votes. This has just been proven in France, DESPITE recent events in Greece/Italy and others coming. Now add France to this list.
Obama is reading the same script and America will follow the same path of Greece/Italy/France... if spending is not controlled! Yet, despite the overwhelming evidence, Obama is continuing to raise spending and promise more to the masses. Worked in France, why not America??

Just a point to ponder.... Last week on JTV (mainland program) they pointed out that the CoCo Curry shop in Chatan on Kokutaidoro was the HIGHEST GROSSING store in ALL OF JAPAN. And why.... all the Military in the area. And who says their presence is not a benifit!

Been bitting my tongue till its bleeding....
So the PUBLIC is paying for her to attend a TOP 14 law school with an average starting salary of $160,000 (STARTING) and she cant pay for her sexual activities, we have to? Seems like the TAXPAYERS are the one getting screwed here. And if someone is paying for her sexual exploits then she is, as Rush said, a person of the oldest profession (debateable between prostitute or lawyer but in this case both apply and are equally distainful!!).
And BTW, she claims her BC pill are $3,000 for 3 years and yet you can buy the same less thn two blocks from Georgetown at the local pharmacy for $9 a month or $360 for 3 years. Whos fooling who?
Those that get on the Liberal bandwagon saying its an attack on women and INSANE!

Really.... since you asked!
Kill a certain race; Not morally sustainable but if you dont you may be dead right (Nazi?). Dont support this in any way and would hope that someone (probably that big bad America everybody seems to be fond of hating). This is going on RIGHT NOW in Syria, you cna see it on the news. BUT, a bit ridicuolous to compare these!!
Sing a song, shave head, wear pink; I left racist off because it is not not (in word) racist. But if you work for me (I own the company) and in my companies corporate rules it says you will sing a song adn wave your arms everymorning (OH wait, Raidio Taiso), have a shaved head and wear pink you damn well better. You have the option and are not "forced" to do anything you dont want to, just quit or be fired. Nothing personal, just the rules that ALL must abide by. You dont have the right, legal or otherwise, to pick and chose at your discrssion. I on the otherhand DO as the employeer. Now, there are steps I must follow to amend the rules once filed at the labor office to ensure compliance with the national and prefecture laws regarding employment but that is it. If the rules are in there you have NO CHOICE!
This IS a rule that has been upheld by the courts so DONT say it is not. Second, in a civil society there are process to follow to challenge the legality of a rule or law. OH, they failed so the point is mute.
If it infringes on their MORAL beliefs so much they should quit. Its like saying that an Athiest has the RIGHT to work at a Catholic Church, hand out condoms and wear upside down crucifix because his employeers rules (beliefs) infringe on his beliefs. Just as stupid!!
And as for just changed; rules change ALL the time. Doesnt mean you have the right to chose to comply or not. Try driving at the old speed limit when it is reduced and see how far your "just changed" defense lasts.
Again, its real simple. If they are so offended (which I personally fee is BS) then they cna quit. Simple and finished.
Oh, try going to a function on a Military base or most respectable venues in the US that play the National Anthem and try not standing. Most likely to go home with a shinner. Standing does not indicate support or belief, merely respect for the country. So show some respect at least for those that do have pride in their country.

Only ONE side is BLATENTY violating INTERNATIONAL LAW, the SS with their terrorist activities. The fact that many people/countries dont LIKE what Japan is doing it is NOT against the law due to the loophole.
Simply put, these damn countries should enforce the laws being violated and then work on a solution. And the wacko EU cant try to force Japan to stop when they have much more whaling activity in their backyard. Clean the dog poo out of your yard before looking over my fence to see what I am doing.
And good ole OZ claiming the Souther Sea and Antartica as "theirs" is just classic. Guess the have a little Great Briton class envy going? ;) They will have a real big problem WHEN (not if) something serious happens and life is lost. And if it is Japanese they will be hell to pay since the OZ team with the declared (self imposed or not) right and responsibility to monitor adn control the area has NOT been enforcing maritime laws that go back CENTURIES!

I am really getting tired of the "hantai" to everything crowd, especially here on JT. I thought the "Peaceful Love" 60's was long over but now with Occupy, crazy teachers, etc preaching that all can do anything you want we are fast approching ANARCHY!
Civil servents are obliged to comply with the rules just as coporate employess are required to comply with corporate requirements. If they dont like it QUIT, if they dont follow FIRE THEM!!! If one of my employees choses not to comply with the rules they know the results and that is the way it MUST be to maintain order. In a civil society rules are laid out and society has an obligation to comply. If they dont agree they must first comply and then attempt through proper chanels to affect change.
These freakin teachers (LEFTISTS that they are) are ruining the kids (mine included) of today/leaders of tomorrow with this "do as you want" mentality. Most parents dont know/care enough to try and counter ther drivel that they espew and it will be reflected in very short time.
Citizens should have some semblance of national pride, which an anthem is supposed to represent, and helps keep a country together.

And perhaps this will make the next derilicts think twice before breaking into a house. Three cheers for her with the wits to maintain control and protect her castle.
Its just too bad that several of you uber libs seem to think she was wrong. It sfolks like you that are the root of the problem, affording more rights adn protections to criminals than to LAW ABIDING citizens. Bottomline, EVERYONE should have the right to defend their home and/or family, regardless of what it takes to do so. And giving a warning is the same as painting a target on your back.
Shoot First and ask questions later!!!

Smith, nice spin on the previous posting. Embellishing has always been suspected as an art so craftly demonstrated by your words, now I know it true. At least I know you pay attention. And since you brought it up, similar applies here. Kids nowadays are either getting dumber, simply dont care or parents are failing. Well adjusted and respectful kids dont violate peoples property nor brandish guns in cops faces (toys or not).
