They get everybody in the end, it is just a matter of wearing you down.

Actually, this article makes rather interesting reading. I was particularly drawn to the following points:

With regard to animals, coming from a family that is very heavily involved in the breeding of dogs for social/work purposes (guide dogs, social service dogs, police dogs, etc), and also coming from a family that lives on the land, my attitude towards animal rights is rather diverse.

On one…

Not into PETA and their grandstanding regarding animal rights, at the same time, however, I am not into women who adorn their bodies with bits of dead animals. Such photos are obscene, in much the same way as a photo of this young lass showing her own fur would be…

Couple of points here.

Firstly, if Sarah Palin has the audacity to grandstand at an event with serving members of the military while those persons are in uniform and/or on duty(thus possibly inciting criticism against the person who is their commander in chief under the terms of the Constitution), then…

The police are obviously in cahoots with Mr. Ichihashi, treating him with kid gloves. If they really want to get a confession out of his (irrespective of whether or not that confession is accurate), they need to take this chap to the mat and start using enhanced interrogation techniques.

Not into this argument at all, basically because it will be corrupted by some countries and used as an excuse to cut down on freedom of expression in their own countries.

Note to the bureaucrats organizing the jury system "make sure all jurors have no 'nads before you impanel them, or otherwise juries might actually start thinking for themselves like this chap"

Boy talk about the wheels falling off, obviously this juror did not get the memo regarding how to behave…

Seems that these comments were somewhat unwise. Talk about being prejudicial to the administration of good law in this country. Baying for the blood of counsel by winding up the public is regrettable to say the least, irrespective of the guilt or otherwise of the defendant in the case in…

Sorry Boss, but trust does not come into it. The US trusted the previous administration in Tokyo to work out an agreement that the US could incorporate into its overall global strategy. Now, with the new government in Tokyo, it seems that Japan wants to renege on agreements all ready…

All riders please ride defensively, and assume everyone else on the road is an idiot.

Amen to that advice brother. I worked through a casualty rotation many years ago at a major Australian hospital, some of the injuries I saw really shook me. Please if you are going to ride…
