By the way, from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:
Sounds just about right to me.

I'm sorry. I thought giving these guys taxpayer money is what everyone has been crying about. Now it's wrong to point out that moving them into a government building will speed up the process of subsidizing homelessness?

Great. Now they can sponge directly from the public teat.

I think a better analogy would be if your crazy neighbor were to randomly fire a gun into your house every day for years and then having to listen to people on the other side of town say, "Well, it's not that big of a gun and he's only hit people once or twice so you're the one who's wrong for sending the SWAT team out to get him. If you'd just give him your house, this really wouldn't be a problem."

I really fail to see why Israel should be under any obligation to open its border with a terrorist government that vows its destruction. Calling for an end to the "blockade" (which Hamas brought upon itself through non-stop rocket attacks and is also backed by Egypt on their border) is basically the same as asking to make it easier for suicide bombers to get in to Israel to blow up more school buses.
I also find it interesting that the apologists fail to acknowledge that approximately 75% of the Palestinians killed have been members of the Hamas government. Unlike the Hamas terrorists, Israel makes considerable effort to avoid civilian casualties.

Given Israel's military advantage, if they really wanted to "murder" Palestinians, they'd all be dead already.
What we have now is restraint on a scale never seen in war. Not that it makes any difference to the Hamas apologists, of course.

I'll wager that at least 90% of people who on this site critizing Japanese people for not doing enough to help the homeless will in fact do nothing to help the homeless themselves.

Heh, "efficiency" and "Japanese" in the same sentence.
Funny.

Seat-belts schmeat-belts, right Japan?
I can't begin to count the number of times I've been told "Don't worry about it, you're OK in the back" when looking for the seat belt when getting in the back of cars here. (Silly me, I never listen and always buckle up.)

A fitting end to someone who sends his own child off as a suicide bomber while living in comfort himself.

Learning to enjoy misery might be a good theme for working Japan to embrace in the days ahead.

Hamas wanted war. Now that have it, I hope their leaders -- or what's left of them -- are enjoying themselves.

Hey, if you feel that way, feel free to put your money where your mouth is and give your next paycheck to the next homeless guy you meet. After all, if you're still getting a paycheck, it's certainly thanks to the money, corruption and politics of the free Democratic society which allows you to post such silly opinions on the internet.

Hamas went looking for this fight.
Now they've got it.
It's time for the international community to step back and let them fight it out.

I have very little sympathy for those too lazy to help themselves, but I agree with the post above: If the Emperor is going to call on others to do something, perhaps he and his family could live on a little bit less himself.
