Cuts are always made at the bottom because if the people on top hold on to their power they will do whatever they want. Unions are needed because government and companies cannot be trusted. Solidarity.

The 61% in favour of busting the union will be sorry in the months ahead. The only thing that will win a battle against government and corporate bullying is solidarity.

So...Is this article about wanting to get out of this uptight place because it`s driving them nuts or because they want to puff without worry? Japan is too closed minded to ever decriminalize pot. Too many brainwashed old people brainwashing the younger generation.

I still wonder why that 40-year old dude was never snatched by other J women...:) He must have had a good escape plan.
He probably had tons of fun with other women and decided the fun should continue with a young bikini model.

If they don`t find anything on her or at her place she should be a free woman. If her system is clean even more so.

Are they gonna make any cuts up top? Make the sure spending at the top has been done justly before cutting anything. The suits have to practice what they preach. It`s the tax payers cash.

WilliB,
Not wishing for violence but that eventually appears if the decision makers don
t listen. Nonsense? You dont know? low wages, no jobs, bad jobs, no job security, poor living conditions, tyranny, corruption, etc etc etc.Posted in: Gadhafi's son warns of civil war in Libya as death toll tops 200

Riots will continue to escalate; I believe the younger generation among crowds are especially becoming frustrated with todays nonsense.

The profits aren
t creating jobs, in fact more and more layoffs; huge bonuses to a select few, just to name two. I wouldnt say evil but perhaps greedy and apathetic. You know yourself nothing is going back to the people, its being taken. Jobs at WalMart stocking shelves at 9 bucks an hour doesnt cut the mustard. This only results in uncalled for adversity. Security is great but the Patriot Act takes too much of your freedom. People watching your every move and listening in on you. Thats a bit much. Of course the authorities arent doing this to everyone, but they can if they want to. Can you explain your point of view?Posted in: U.S. Senate votes to extend parts of Patriot Act

Why don
t you do your own research? All you have to say is "show me the details." Well... look them up yourself instead of being blindly lead. Sounds like you are asleep at the wheel. Why dont you provide your facts that`ll prove me wrong?Posted in: U.S. Senate votes to extend parts of Patriot Act

I think you are just on a different page than me but most are blind to what
s going on unfortunately. Nobody is reaping the benefits from the banks profits except for the people at the top. Americans arent thats for sure. Something isnt a conspiracy if it is a fact.Posted in: U.S. Senate votes to extend parts of Patriot Act

Here we go a "truther." If you don
t believe mainstream media you are not legit it seems. Anderson Cooper is on the money eh? manfromamerica, you know they lie their teeth off. The only reason things arent brought to light is because they are blocked by the elitists.You should do your own research. There are countless stories. Stop watching CNN and FOX. There are countless people in jail for minor infractions like possesing small amounts of marijuana, paying taxes and being framed. You can
t scream in a cops face. In fact, they can taser you and get away with it. Even pull a gun on you. Look youve heard the stories. They are not made up. There would probably be more but most people are afraid to fight back or they are too busy worrying about staying employed and paying bills. Wall Street villains, corrupt politicians, police etc. You think they have done no wrong? Government bails out the banks but nobody helps the those individuals who lost 4 million homes? Thats okay? Thats crazy. And the FED. Wow! They are supposed to create employment. Why is the real unemployment rate at 20%? They havent done a thing. All the big banks are making huge profits again too. Why? The 4th best? Dont know. It seems America is leading the pack with its nonsensical treatment of its hard working people. So I only hate what is being done to good hard working people who are suffering. Losing homes, jobs, families, getting sick, and being treated without respect is what blows me away. Thats not what America is supposed to be like. The Patriot Act as I said scares people and makes them conform like robots. The majority are not even aware of all these crazy bills and laws passing. Its a shame. Do you actually think life is getting better in the US?Posted in: U.S. Senate votes to extend parts of Patriot Act

Much of the Patriot Act was fabricated after the American government scared the sheeple into believing everything reported on mainstream media was a form of terrorism endangering everyones lives. People are brutalized, lied to, murdered, and beaten down by the suits. That
s a fact. Research it. Wait! Wait! if you even question a cop these days you get tasered or you are considered a threat. Come on. Throwing people in jail for years for minor infractions while corruption continues in big business and government? The Patriot Act is one more way of handcuffing the people. Protesters get locked up all the time. Answer one question. Why arent the politicians and scheming businessmen/bankers being wire tapped? Canada, Australia, New Zealand are of course better places, however, because of their weak governments they have also begun to cater to American requests.Manfromamerica, don`t you find it strange that the villains are doing the wiretapping on the innocent? America needs to start changing its ways so it can once again become a leading nation.
