    It sounds like an episode from CSI Miami. What I can't understand is that a psycho and sex offender with a rap sheet a mile long never was under closer scrutiny. The wife definitely is an accessory and these abominations need to be locked away indefinitely.

    Presumably Japanese goods sell because they are of good quality and priced competitively

    Exactly. American consumers (and not only American) discovered long ago that Japanese products were of far higher quality and priced more competitively than their shoddy American counterparts. And so did the Japanese consumers. End of story.

    A questionable ruling by the court.

    and for a loser group

    Pink Lady was a duo, not a group. And they were hardly losers.

    Nixon was a brilliant politician who accomplished a great deal for the country he loved. Unfortunately he was not perfect and suffered from paranoia and lowered moral standards.

    I'd be pissed if she starting spouting that kinda crap

    Your choice of words tells me a lot. I do wonder though how you imagine the Romas must have felt, how much they have been 'pissed' through the ages when they were not treated as human beings.

    It's stupid for an entertainer to get political during a show

    Says who? She was not touching on a political issue, but a socio-humanitarian issue. And I applaud her for that. As a hugely popular entertainer world wide she can afford to do that. If anything was stupid it was…

    I do loathe people who decide to carry two or three massive bags with them, hog all the overhead so that you have to put your stuff somewhere else, and STILL try to stuff it in front of them, blocking those with window seats in.

    Yeah, I loathe these idiots…

    I remember when KFC came to my hometown (here in Japan) in the 1970s. My boss came in beaming, with boxes filled with the fried stuff for all of us to eat. He looked like this was THE food to have. I thought it was awful. I have eaten it…

    Well, I for one wouldn't want to live near a nuclear plant. Thermal plant? I saw the word pollution somewhere. Hydro? Limited. Give me poetry in motion any time. But not closer than 2 km :-)

    This, in my opinion, is psychosomatic

    It remains to be seen whose opinion is going to count. Yours or the one of those who filed the complaints. Furthermore, it is not the decibel level causing the 'alleged' problems. It's the ultra low frequency, which is a sound you don't hear…
