This isn't a crime of passion; this is self-will at its worst.

I'd like to know what kind of training a daycare worker gets regarding a one year old child.
Apart from that, this is a horrible incident which is preventable. Hopefully, this woman will be sacked.

I got banned from Facebook, but decided not to return, like many other devoted fans of the social network site have done secretly.
My decision was justified with recent news of the insecurity concerns regarding applications.
I'd never go back to Facebook mainly because they ban you much like Iran mistreats its Azeri minorities -- they steal your personal data but subject you to a trial in which you are guilty but no evidence is presented to you. Rather they based confirmation of the ban by what you admit to; if you vehemently deny it, perhaps you might be allowed back.
However, they demand you be more sociable and stop objecting to their continual objectification of women and strict partiarchalism that only has the veneer of political correctness.
Do not forget that its creator is socially inept, and probably more socially isolated than he believes. I don't know whether it is recreational drug use or what, but their rules are often inflexible when you don't toe their line yet lax if you are a criminal and have paid for extra credits for games.
It is at best a plutocracy -- only the affluent members get away with murder.

i think i should stop using bluetooth, and let people hear both sides of my phone conversations instead. that way, they don't get weirded out by me appearing to be talking to myself!
IMHO the self appointed phone police caused the man who he punched to get a broken arm. This is proof that he wasn't so much objecting to the guy on his cell phone as to NOT being privy to the other side of the phone call.
If a cell phone user thinks his call on a bus or train is private, then he is sorely mistaken since people can hear only his side.

IMHO I'd rather maintain a balanced view of Taiji and whaling.
What's at play here is the marketing value of conservation vs culture & tradition.
So I agree with Kobekid that it's about money.

Qutbism influences the Taliban and other militant Muslims who embrace Islamic-Fascism.
Their kind of Islam is not mainstream Islam, since they may follow the writings of Sayyid Qutb and other writers who influenced Islamic-Fascism in the 1930s.
Mainstream Islam, represented by 54 member states of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), did protest loudly, and condemned the Taliban's intention to destroy the Bamiyan statues.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE even condemned the destruction.
The good news, after occupation in 2003, Japanese researchers accurately dated newly discovered oil paintings found in 12 of the 50 caves revealed by the destruction of the statues.
It's probable that between 400 and 800 CE, artists on their way through Bamiyan stopped by to create these paintings out of religious devotion.
As well, a "sleeping" Buddha statue was discovered in 2008.

This makes me shake my head.
Although the lack of parental guidance may have contributed to this tragedy, it's on the boy's shoulders now for the murder of 2 innocent people.

I'm certainly glad one of the boys had the sense to call the victim's brother.
This isn't vigilanteeism; this is school bullying at its cruelest.
IMHO there's more here than just three friends, there's a fourth student from a different middle school.
Could it be rather than talking to his best friends alone from the fourth, he resorted to shouting insults at them to vent frustration at possibly being estranged or feeling jealous of the other student? Yes, I know this is speculation, but it may fit the circumstances.
It's unknown if the fourth boy might have suggested the beating.
However, that no one who might have heard the beating wished to get involved shows how easy it is for four boys to evolve into a "gang".

Train groping in Japan will never go away as long as the chauvinism is assumed to be inherent in Japanese society.
However, education in women's magazines and the "Train #1 for women only" policy makes it easier for train security and the cops to catch them red-handed.
In America, this is a sex crime, and a punishable offense.
In Japan, it's a crime with a fine.

The TSA also profiles people based on body language.
Back in August 2009 the TSA had Philedelphia police, and later the FBI, brought in because they had profiled a college student based on his body language. It turned out the student had been to Sudan and Egypt, and was on his way to Jordan to study.
When asked about his Arabic-to-English flashcards with the words "terrorist" and "explosion" among the words used, he explained that he was using them to help him understand al Jazeera news.
After questioning him for several hours, they let him go. And for making him miss his flight, they gave him another ticket to Jordan.
Let's hope this fellow is a student studying abroad.

All this fuss for protecting a whale species (the minke) which isn't being over hunted anymore. The cull rate by all countries still hunting whales is far below the birth rate of said whale. I am not saying this to condone whale hunting, even for "scientific" reasons.
I'm just stating what is known about the minke to date.
However, these whales are mammals, and social creatures to boot. So killing them isn't the killing of a "dumb animal", but almost akin to murder.
For culling the whales will disturb their community.
And I am not saying that because I condone the Sea Shepard's actions.
