Harada thinks the market is over-serviced. And why is that undesirable? It provides a lot of jobs - very desirable if you ask me.

but his western cockiness is a turn off even for western people.

Western cockiness from western people turns off western people as well. Seen some of that . . . Kitajima wrote history in swimming for his country. Good job. And he also turned off the primal screams at his…

Many powerful nations have colonized the weaker ones since times immemorial. Do they get reminded of that period in the manner Lee thinks it necessary to do? How sad he has nothing more positive to offer.

I think I have to go with Pukey2 for once on this one. The continuing unpleasant comments re the Olympic hosts are a little over the top. The selection of judges is a different sensitive matter. Impartiality is difficult to guarantee if it concerns one's own nationality.

Chiharu had set her goal and hopes very high. She did very well and the silver medal on this level is a great achievement. Congratulations!!

It's the way he showed his discontent. By attending the ceremony, by stepping onto the podium, by not refusing to accept beforehand he was accepting the honor. 'Stripped' is the accurate description. But probably he and some commenting here still don't get it.

Ugly behavior if you ask me. The judges are always right, you know that beforehand. Good thing the man retired from the sport. He is not suited to it. In addition: Europeans are not poor losers. This person is.

Isetani: Grow up and be a man.

That takes time. And some never do. Wanna be a star? Right everyone is watching you - and be prepared to answer questions. If not, drop out of sight.

Sure they back that It's the easiest way to cover their losses and their inability to stop wasting taxpayers money. It will turn out to also be the easiest way to create a recession.
