    Baby-face, barb tongue, dumb brain, (d)elite politician (?) Hashimoto is making sure he is heard across the stage. Worldwide. It's time he's given a muffler. Answering questions about this, uhh, character abroad recently I found embarrassing.

    Islam does not teach the perimeters of cowardice, it seems.

    How do those who voted this fool into public office feel about their choice today, I wonder. If all of them still support him this is a sad state for the nation, showing that millions are not only totally ignorant but also completely out of touch. What is the future of a nation where the biggest cities vote for the biggest idiots?

    Those senators opposing stricter gun control to protect fellow Americans that include their own offspring will go on record for having defended their (outdated) principles, but at the same time for failing their duties to create a safer environment by keeping lethal weapons out of the hands of those with criminal intentions. Shame, shame on them. Future generation will know and remember.

    Absolutely not. Reverting to that would be going back to the dark middle ages when the concept of human rights did not exist.

    I hate driving in Japan, especially in my neighborhood. For me its not kids but old people. For some reason, they always want to ride their bikes or walk in the middle of the street, or try to cross where there is no crosswalk. There were times when I had to brake hard and come to a screeching halt (literally) to avoiding hitting them. If I did hit them, even though all rational arguments would dictate that the pedestrian is wrong for being out in the middle of the road when they shouldn't me, I know that the law will find me responsible for for injury or death.

    There is a simple solution. Slow down. What's the hurry anyway? You'll be 'the old people' soon enough.

    I won't lose sleep over my being voted down, but what's your solution? Keep trudging along at your set speed on yesterday's roads filled with yesterday's people surely won't solve anything.

    This is the scum of Chinese basketball

    Ugly rhetoric. And so sad potential talented players are not granted the freedom to play in overseas teams without being scorned. Instead of vilifying young players' desires to develop their skills on the international scene, China should be proud of its ability to produce great players.

    French bread is a little more than baguette. Andersen, based in Hiroshima in a beautifully reconstructed building that was partially destroyed by the A-bomb, has a great variety of French breads. Pain au Levain, Pain de Campagne, and a lot more. They have a lot of artisan bread to offer. But there are also more and more shops springing up in Hiroshima offering sublime baguettes, like Baeckerei Ein http://www.backerei-ein.jp/

    Well, they are doing it for the whole world to witness, the persistent harassment and violation of other nations' territorial waters. The logic being keeping at it proves you right in the end. Hmm, probably only in China, following China logic, not international logic which China dismisses. Becoming a respected player on the international scene may be a China wish without the 'respected'.

    This I call progress. It is nobody's business to interfere with the right and freedom of humans, be they of the same or different gender, to live together as partners and be granted the same rights as those to humans of different gender. We no longer live in the dark middle ages, nor is New Zealand a state where religious groups with different opinions dictate the rules.

    But I will stick to my home brewed coffee made from dark roast beans. No cans, which cost more to produce and recycle than their contents, to dispose of. No contributing to energy guzzling and often noisy ubiquitous vending machines.

    The 'can lobby' did not like my remark? Thumbs down, just a click - where is the argument?

    Admiring criminals is hardly admirable.

    Well, voting down this comment indicates what one stands for.

    What a despicable act to target innocents especially on a day like the Boston Marathon.

    The cowardice of this attack is indescribable. But these words will be lost on the cur. Whether this act of meaningless violence was due to terrorists with an agenda that creates and shows nothing but destruction and hatred or the act of a lone psychopath remains unknown for now.

    Oblivious to the suffering of a large segment of the population too which lacks basic needs like food. Reminds me of my visits to Mao's China in the sixties and being surrounded by all these plastic happy faces that belonged to the indoctrinated ones who apparently thought the cause was for the greater good of . . . did they really know what?
