When we will we all be able to agree that the Japanese were the victims of WWII? They were so hard done by and we all need to remember this, and not let all the terrible things they suffered be forgotten.

Huh?? I think the almost 5.5 million civilians (even…

Hmm - my last commnet above somehow became jumpled between typing and posting (the last part out of place; the point is still sound.

Yabits - okay so technically not manslaughter perhaps. Admittedly all he could really be charged with legally is leaving the scene of an accident, and failure to report it (unless you consider the next morning to be timely). And I'm not one to throw to throw out morality claims as…

I'm not a 'conservative fantatic' - lunatic to a certain degree, but not conservative by a long shot. I certainly understand that those of a politically liberal bent do have a place in their hearts for Teddy's suppossed political abilities - and perhaps he was quite adept in this arena.…

See, that's the typical government red tape, over-budgeting, over-planning, over-spending, over-thinking and over-doing. You have a bunch of military and other crap sitting around in Iraq. You need to get it out. Pay the Iraquis that we have impovrished in the first place to help move the stuff - sort…

smithinjapan and Taka: I cannot decide on whether to shake my head in shocked disbelief at the both of you, or smile in admiration.

I know that you both think that all attacks on TK are political, and smithinj we've already had a discussion on another article. Actually I grew…

Actually, though I think you will fail to admit it - I'm not trying to make a political point, at least not in the sense you imply. The article, and the media since the death of Senator Kennedy, as been gushing on about how great the man was. Whenever anyone…

I had better watch what I say about the man as JT will yank the comment as 'vulgar' as they did mine from yesterday; perhaps the truth hurts too much for the left leaning.

You folks - such as smithinjapan - who support TK act as if 'it's no big…

This is all fine to argue on a forum such as this, but these political arguments based on liberal or conservative leanings and the ‘oh yeah? Well before you said…’ never really confronts the realities of an issue.

mnemosyne23:

There was a time in America when politicians actually worked for the people, believed in what they did, were fairly honest and upright citizens and were working for our common good. I would have lamented the death of any of them. That day seems very long gone. The Kennedys…
