Well, this story proves that there are plenty of morons who don't use seatbelts. It also shows that some of them, go down to the next level of rock banging when they sayit's judgemental to criticise their non-use or try to call them a governmental "money maker". Ha!

Mass elimination of carefully chosen populations of humans (i.e. those not in the G20) should cut carbon emissions substantially. Then the powers that be can get those who are left to start planting trees and other high oxygen-yield vegetation to get rid of excess carbon.
Zere is nuzzink wrong wiz zat plan. You vill comply.

Well, He's just stuffed up the rest of his life, as this will go on his record and he won't be able to find a decent job anywhere. Is that punishment enough?

As a percentage of the population, no. To believe otherwise would seem racist.
As for USA Ronin's response to one2one:
'"why am I crying..."
"It's the nature of your gender, m'am.
-Nothin' wrong with that."'
Ronin, Why do you assume that it is only you women who would cry about this?

Calling pregnancy a "once in a lifetime experience" suggests that the Japanese are a doomed people, unable or unwilling to have enough kids to maintain their race. Just a poor choice of expression, perhaps?

Amerijap,
I am referring to the contempt that some, if not all of the students displayed by ignoring what that teacher had told them, so no, I'm not using the wrong word. Please refer to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insolent.
Of course, you may not think of them as having been rude, but that's a matter of opinion, not word choice. As an English teacher (i.e. a "real" one), I have a reasonable idea of both semantics and some antics of students.

"Ahmadinejad is one of the few aces the Republicans have that will allow them to keep pushing for increased defense spending, missile shield, etc.
Republicans NEED Ahmadinejad to remain in power."
Yes, just like Abe Lincoln need surgery to take the bullet out.

Nope. They're all ex-domestic cats. That's what feral means. Anyhow, it seems that a lot of posters here are in favour of wiping them out. I disagree. Send them to North Korea instead.

NYC Samurai,
Are you suggesting that every person in Japan took part in this poll? I'm suggesting that most the 53% are English speakers who probably live, or have lived in Japan.
Correction from my first post: Should read "honesty" not "honest". Time to ge a keyboard with a "y" key that functions freely!

53% wouldn't hand it all in? Thank God you're the minority in this country. The honest displayed by the average citizen here here would disappear fast if you had you way.

Because real "witches" needed to be hunted down in order to protect the innocent. Now, excuse me while I go and find my torch and pitchfork.
