Obama ain't embarrassed.
Pathological liars are incapable of such emotions.

Criminals no longer fear the judicial system, so ordinary law-abiding folks feel they need to carry. It's a rational choice in the face of suicidal "liberal" tolerance for crime.The bogus War on Poverty and the expanding Welfare State the Democrats brought us only add to the misery and the violence.Throw in Hollywood obsession with violence and even the current president's 'friendship' with performers like Ludacris, whose lyrics glorify the thug life, and then ask how you would protect yourself these days.

Lots of Birtish ex-pats in Kansai drink the Guiness on St Paddys Day, and they compose limericks, too! Is it the same up in the big smoke of Edo?

No, actually the question is why the media still call these homicidal nutjobs "insurgents","extremists" and "militants" when they themselves admit they are terrorists to the bone.

Too bad for Canada that Obama and his ilk have nothing but disdain for the traditional Anglo-Saxon values that Harper and most decent, hardworking Canadians still believe in.

Of course, the appointment of warmonger Hillary Clinton to Sec of State and warmonger Joe Biden to VP don't help things, do they.

It's clear that only an America prosperous enough to have dozens of its multinationals operating in Ireland and providing tens of thousands of jobs for the locals there can keep the peace.

True. But of course an insurgency could also follow a pullout of US bases from an increasingly Islamized Europe.

The kind of triumphalism that makes people hate Canadians!
It's no wonder Central and South America are turning away from the North and embracing Chavez and Bolivarism.

America is already at the forefront of medical science. Anybody calling for such developments obviously isn't American. Private funding for embryonic stem cell research was always an option. The same crowd castigating Bush for his refusal to grant federal funding for embryonic stem cell research are the same people who like to tell you that "Big Pharma control, like, everything in America."
Wouldn't these same biotech and pharmaceutical companies, with their supposedly obscene profits, have been eagerly investing in this type of research if it were as promising as so many here insist? The market for a male pattern baldness cure alone must be worth billions...

This article, like most on the subject, is a bit disingenuous.
Obama reversed Bush restrictions on federal funding for stem cell research.
You'd think that on a site like this, any Japanese connection might be deemed newsworthy:
"Until now, to study unapproved stem cell lines, researchers had to set up separate, privately financed labs and follow laborious accounting procedures to make sure not a cent of federal grant money was used on that research."
[...]
"However, the president’s support of embryonic stem cell research comes at a time when many advances have been made with other sorts of stem cells. The Japanese biologist Shinya Yamanaka found in 2007 that adult cells could be reprogrammed to an embryonic state with surprising ease. This technology “may eventually eclipse the embryonic stem cell lines for therapeutic as well as diagnostics applications,” Dr. Kriegstein said. For researchers, reprogramming an adult cell can be much more convenient, and there have never been any restrictions on working with adult stem cells."

Lots of Birtish peeps In Kansai celebrate St Patricks Day. Halloween, too. In fact, I knows many who even celebrate the Fourth of July. I reckon it's prolly the same up Tokyo way.
Any excuse to drink.

Punishments like this will soon occur in the no-go parts of major European cities. They already have a disturbing rise in the number of 'honor killings.'
It's Shariah. Get used to it. Many on the Left argue for its acceptance outside of hellholes like Saudi Arabia, where Islamic social engineering endlessly repeats its tragic cycles.
