I can't say for sure but the ban on cliff diving, bungy jumping and hang gliding may have more to do with safety than public behavior. These guys are supposed to be ready for combat at any time. There may have been a number of injuries to Marines engaged in…

Another example of how a few bad apples screw things up for the majority. One headline about a rape or robery or assault erase thousand of hour of community work. Whether the newspapers and politicians like to believe it or not, these servicemen stationed on Okinawa pump a lot of…

I just left Iraq after four years supporting the troops. Don't let all those brave young men and women have died for nothing. We need to leave a stable government there so we never have to go back. We are almost there, a little more time.

northlondon: Absolutely right, I have watched this for 30 plus years. Everytime a high school phenom comes along, the Kyojin miraculously "win" the right to him. The exception was Egawa who was drafted by Hanshin but was traded to the Giants (against the japanese pro baseball rules at the time)…

“I didn’t like his work attitude. I beat him but didn’t think he would die. I used to hit almost every day.”

If he didn't like his work attitude, why didn't he FIRE the guy? And, the 54 year old employee takes getting hit almost every day, didn't he…

I can't see why people who want to solve temporary problems with perminent solutions have to do it so that it affects others. Now you have at least two other people (and probably more) who are subject to PTDS.
