Cavedwellers killed, ate and skinned wild beasts to survive. They didn't intensively breed them in tiny cages, to have them electrocuted and pelted while still alive, all to produce a fur garment nobody needs.

But never mind my ethical objections, they both look very badly-dressed. Are there so many of…

How sad and disturbing. Realist, I don't know what more the site admin could have done. They notified the police as soon as they were informed. It's a pity that it was several hours too late. No site could possibly have the manpower to check on what all the users…

At three days per episode, it works out at 15,000 yen per day. You can make more than that working as an extra with no speaking parts. Since singing and acting are required, the pay is very poor.

I feel sorry for this girl, she will be deported to a country that is foreign to her at a difficult age. Anger should be directed at her mother who clearly lied about her status and didn't even teach her child to speak her mother tongue Tagalog.

There is going to be a large wave of immigration sooner or later, it's unavoidable unless the birth rate climbs miraculously. Trying to look on the bright side, Japan has a unique opportunity to define a healthy immigration policy and not repeat the mistakes made by other nations which allowed…

nandakanmanda, I'm not sure what you mean? The pirates opened fire on a British frigate and shots were returned. As far as I know, the British killed 3 pirates and captured only 8. The French have only captured 6. It's progress but doesn't seem very 'tough' to me. There are…

His use of Malcolm X is hysterical considering arab countries probably rank the lowest in the world in terms of any kind of equality.

Every arab state is a failure in terms of democracy, tolerance and equality. For some states this failure is temporarily masked by the wealth brought by…

Well done India. The Russians are on their way there and you can bet they will follow India's approach and not the namby-pamby nonsense from the British and French forces. I'm not too concerned about the pirates human rights.

Georges Duboeuf must be rubbing his hands in glee. He's found the perfect market (uneducated about wine and willing to buy anything French) for this rubbish that no-one in Europe wants anymore.

I like that they chose a foreign woman who is not under 25, not white and not a toothpick for their ad. Variety is the spice of life ;-)
