    Maybe a few of those 90,000 people ought to talk to Hamas about not firing rockets at Israeli civilians.

    :Yawn:

    All Obama really needs to do is close the detention facility and have these guys pushed out of the back of an airplane on their way somewhere else. It's not like those complaining really give a crap about the detainees. It's all about being seen to protest "Gitmo."

    A pirate spokesman...

    .

    There are people lining up to be pirates ...

    .

    What a sad commentary on the world's modern navies.

    But I look forward to the many defenders of the unemployed around here stepping up to explain how it's not really poor Mr. Maeda's fault he's such an asshat.

    Maeda graduated from the university but has been unemployed, police said.

    With his winning personality, I can't imagine why ...

    Why am I so confident that if North Korea started lobbing rockets into Japan the "Israel hits back too hard" crowd here would be singing a different tune?

    The Palestinians in Gaza elected Hamas knowing full well they would wage war on Israel. How bad should I feel for them now that they've got it?

    If you think this is "karma" you have a messed up set of morals. I'd rather see every whale in the ocean turn to dust than have one human being drown in the ocean.

    My thoughts exactly.

    I can't even express how disgusted I am by this puke. A bat to a complete stranger's face?

    I'm no hero, but I almost wish he'd try it with me just so I'd have the chance to take that bat from him and use it to smash his kneecaps into a fine powder.

    I can't help but notice that the number of clubs stolen is suspiciously similar to the number of homeless people occupying the tent village ...

    Ha. Ha. I have to laugh at the thought of this conversation:

    "Mom. Dad. You know the years and years of sacrifice and millions and millions of yen you invested in my education ..."

    Shiuu, it was me who called you on it in the other thread. I'm sure your friends would put you up and vice versa, but would they do it indefinitely?

    I understand your point. In the unlikely event one of my very good friends plopped down on my couch and said, "Well, I'm all done trying, now support me forever," things would likely be different. As long as they're making an effort, however, I'd help my friends out indefinitely.

    Now before anyone jumps in with "Oh, but they are trying," then why don't they have one ... one ... friend who is willing to put them up while they're making a legitimate effort to get back on their feet?

    They need to try harder.

    When all your friends are living in a tent city, who will you turn to? "Get a job" and "don't be lazy" don't really apply when there are no jobs to go around.

    There is very little chance any of my friends will end up in tent city. First, because most are hard working and responsible and would never give up so easily. Second, because I would step up and take care of them before that happened.

    How is it these homeless guys lived their lives such that they don't have one friend ... not one ... who will step up and give them a hand now?

    They need to try harder.

    One of these days the anti-whaling nutroots are going to get a well-deserved punch in the mouth way out in the middle of the ocean. When that happens, I'll chuckle a little to myself and then forget all about them.

    omarbabilon:

    There's this word, "unlikely," it means ... "not likely."

    Let's review. In another thread, someone tried to call me out by asking how long my best friend would take me in if I suddenly became penniless. See, I'm not penniless now. I responded that in the ... (here it comes) ... unlikely event I became penniless, unlike the homeless in these articles, I could rely on friends to take care of me indefinitely and vice versa ... that means I'd certainly step up and take care of my friends. Which, as I think about it, is a pretty basic idea. So basic, in fact, that I have to wonder what kinds of friends anyone who'd ask such a question really has. I also wonder why it is that these homeless guys lived their lives in such a way that they don't have anyone they could rely on before sticking their hands out to the Japanese taxpayer to support them.

    My advice: Try to be indispensable in your workplace. Be conscientious. Do more than the next guy. Have a good attitude.

    That's good advice. Let me see if I can sum it up even better:

    "Don't be lazy."

    On the bright side, at least the government admits there is a jobless/homeless problem and will be giving them counseling.

    I can give them counseling too: "Get a job."

    Shiuu, who has said he can rely on his true friends to provide him a place to stay 'forever' (i.e. sponge off of them forever), doesn't want anyone else to sponge off of him, or the government, or volunteers.

    I stated as much when asked how long my best friend would provide me food and shelter in the unlikely event I suddenly became penniless. If you check that post, you'll note I stated that I would certainly do the same for my best friends.

    Not you. Not the bums.

    Of course, it seems odd to me that these guys (and apparently anyone who has to ask such a silly question) have lived their lives in such a way as to not have anyone else to rely on in hard times. If anything, that only reinforces my idea that they are responsible for their current situation.
