Sorry, boys, but anyone thinking this photo isn't a plant is kidding themselves. There's nothing natural about it. I'll admit, in terms of being 'natural' it's nicer in a way than having Ebi-chan and Yamada Yuu etc., obviously posing for the camera (well, okay, it's not as nice on the…

sailwind: "Actually it's pretty cool. Though a little cruel in the name the George W Bush Sewage Plant, it just doesn't feel right. San Francisco has a tradition of tolerance and ability to rise above such notions and rather suprised that they show this ugly side of themselves, but as…

USNinJapan: Even a portion? 10,000 is a portion, regardless of whether it is small or not. Multiply that one small number in one state by every state (of course fewer in some, and FAR MORE in others) and you've got a HUGE number. Look up the definition of portion and…

USNinJapan: "If I were McConnell's parent I'd be wondering what part of his upbringing I had screwed up"

It's clearly not only McConnell, friend, as more than 10,000 people turning in signatures, and I'm sure if you polled the whole country it would be some.... hmmm.... 70%?

Bush has done…

Saying, "I promise to reduce our CO2 emissions by 2050" simply means, "I don't have to do a damn thing until December 2049".

Does anyone honestly think the're going to make any changes before the absolute latest possible time? No way in hell. It should be 50% by 2020, tops,…

They shouldn't name the WHOLE building after him, just the part that collects and stores all the human waste. The actual cleaning components and area could be labelled a name with a positive ring to it.

It's hilarious to see the uproar by the people on the right.... hahaha! Suck…

Superlib: "Smith, you can be against the war for a variety of reason, but claiming that Iraq hasn't been freed from a dictator is silly and undercuts your own credibility. Why do that to yourself?"

Why is the US even asking for cooperation on this guy? Where did he 'allegedly' kill his wife?? In the US! Where was he caught? Saipan (US land)! I realize it's just good politics, but screw this guy, particularly if he wants to hide behind moronic Japanese laws like statute…

"...adopted a resolution urging the government not to lift any sanctions until North Korea returns ‘‘all victims’’ of abduction by its agents."

Oh, here we go again! So, they should return ALL the people on the abductee list, eh? Lest we forget, there are sometimes people who 'magically' appear in…
