"Should the U.S. imperialists and (South Korean government) threaten the (North) with nukes, it will retaliate against them with nukes", except the US/ROK nukes are computer-controlled/satellite-guided etc., while the NK nukes will be tied to the back of an ox cart and dragged to their targets.

Even if they "got away with it", they would still face justice because "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after that the judgment".

There are excellent copies of the Mona Lisa. Even the Louvre will display one of the copies as the original, for a number of reasons.

Wait, he's a doctor (sort of) and he couldn't tell the girl was under age. Give me a break.

30,000 yen just might pay for those Chanel sunglasses she couldn't live without. Too bad she sold herself to get them. No self respect.

No, waiting for the investigation into the doctor's involvement to be completed. But, we all know the score.

Indecent behavior is enough of a description, don't you think? What, do they have to mention specific acts? No, especially if a "child" was involved.

Our 2 grandchildren (ages 1 and 5) live with us. We moved into a 7th floor apartment recently. The first thing we did before the children even went into the apartment was to buy locks for the doors and windows. Then we nailed board across the windows (like guard rails) to make it impossible for a child to fall out. Oh, by the way, we never leave the children alone, ever! Stupid mother!!!

Noborito - It's not the teacher's apathy when you're in a class of 40 students and only 10 or so even want to be there. It's student apathy. I always do my best, and am well-prepared for each lesson. Contrary to what you seem to believe, I do actually care about the students and their future. But, you can't force them to learn, it's sad. I have met teachers who are like what you are saying, but I am not one of them. I just tell myself "no matter what the students do, I still get paid" to make myself feel better after teaching a class where the students COMPLETELY ignore the lesson.

"Murray tried to revive him by compressing his chest with one hand while supporting Jackson’s back with the other." WTF, a doctor doesn't know how to do CPR?! You're supposed to lay the person flat and compress his chest with the "heels" of your two hands on the breast bone, etc, etc.

Besides, if this chalk-serving teacher has been teaching for a long time, a 10% pay cut is next to nothing. A Japanese teacher with seniority once told me the school board could hire four "new" teachers for what he was getting paid.

I am a High School teacher here in Japan. In many classes, more so in "low level" schools, students do anything from playing video games to sleeping to fixing their make-up during class. But, there are always some students who do want to learn. So, I teach for them. And besides, no matter what the students do, I still get paid.

Iran has sworn to wipe Israel off the face of the map (to many it is their religious duty). They (Jews and Muslims) have been bitter enemies since the time of Abraham. Once Iran has nuclear weapons (just a matter of time), all it will take is a few people who are willing to "push the button". Sanctions will only delay the inevitable. Let Israel defend itself.

"they ignored me, so I got pissed off" - should have shaved your legs, worn a push-up bra, and used heels instead of sandals.

I agree that Jackson was (at least partly) responsible for his own death. However, an attending physician who administered the medications that eventually caused Jackson's death does bear some responsibility. It was reported earlier that Jackson's nurse refused to give him the tranquilizer (I forget the name) he was begging for because of the danger. Apparently the difference between a helpful dose and a fatal dose is very small. A doctor's negligence resulting in a death = manslaughter.

nimbus/bushlover-I haven't heard of any other soldiers going missing, etc. If you have, please let me know. Wasn't the story of the soldier who walked away from base (stupid thing to do in a war zone) run just a short time before this one? It makes it seem like the same guy. I think he may have thought about becoming Muslim, and then changed his mind once he was captured. Robes, shaved head, growing a beard - looks like a religious conversion to me.

No way this guy will go to jail. He's old. He probably won't even have to pay the family. In fact, he's gonna resign so he won't have to give that income to the family. Isn't that nice.
