At noon today the vernacular news reported "smoking implements" (like a water pipe) were found during a search of Waka no Ho's residence (he lives outside the stable as befits his rank). He appears to be a dedicated pothead.

You probably have no idea what is smoked in a hookah.…

Surely it must be a strange behavior in western countries.

Yes. I usually try to find the owner and hand it to them myself. We don't trust cops in the west. If they are not trying to get your for pick-pocketing in such a situation, they are trying to nail…

If it's alleged, then that should be "if and when."

Its alleged only in the sense that the trial is pending. The man confessed already. No sense wasting time pretending he might actually be innocent now. Let's leave that to his lawyers.

Why not drug test them? If they're clean they won't object.

Mr. Blind Faith, allow me to introduce you to the concept of the false positive. You go looking for a problem, you just might find one where there isn't any. That is why we do not fix what…

I fail to see what the drug laws in England have to do with this story. The laws and penalties for being in possession of a controlled substance in Japan are very clear and strict. It's the same as drink driving.

Its not just the legal penalites that surpise us…

Assuming these girls are underage, take a minute and consider where their skills will be in four years. They are only going down hill from hear. Its silly to keep them out when they are at their peak. In fact, its dangerous to them.

I'm talking about the overall medal count, Sean.

That too would be less. Given other gymnasts, there is no guarantee they would have even scored a bronze in all those gymnastics competitions, and there were several.

The people who say that the age limit of 16 is unfair anyway are totally missing the point.

Not at all. If they are not 16 then their scores should be made unofficial. I know most would take the medals away, but I would let the girls keep the medals,…

The US does not bomb kids, weddings etc in Afghanistan, or anywhere else.

Not intentionally, usually at least, no. But accidents have been happening, and only a complete fool would deny that.

Now, individual soldiers on the other hand, that is another matter. It is also foolish to think that…

If any airstrikes were conducted it was because the Afghan Army called them in.

YOu don' know that. The very first sentence:

Scores of Afghan civilians who had gathered in a small village for the memorial ceremony of a militia commander were killed when U.S. and Afghan soldiers launched an…
