Here we go again, let's list the charges.

One would be breaking and entering. Another might be destruction of property. Obviously the female officer (off duty at the time) was scared in the situation, so you can add in a charge of assault if you consider that the litmus test…

The US is a free country and this woman has every right to run for President. At the same time, however, I would like to think that the talent pool on the republican side of US politics was a little bit deeper in terms of coming up with a candidate…

Here we go. We are not even into the World Cup year, and the JFA is already setting the stage by coming up with some rather original excuses for Japan's guaranteed choking on the biggest stage of them all.

So to sum up some of the arguments here, the woman in question got what she deserved, by dressing in a manner other than a bed-sheet that covered her from head to foot. Sorry to burst your collective bubble, but such arguments are rather old hat, being widely espoused by…

Zero tolerance regarding such incidents. The policeman in question should have been fired immediately after he admitted to this assault. He should also be arraigned on assault charges. If found guilty by due process, he should receive a prison sentence in accordance with the law, also being registered as a…

What about letting the Okinawans (as opposed to the mainland Japanese) make their own decisions regarding such issues. In other words, what about independence for Okinawa from the tyranny of Tokyo.

While I agree with the sentiment of using these pirates as a target for a live fire exercise (I would love to see a Phalanx System adapted for such a purpose), you have to remember that the pirates were not dumb enough to release all their hostages at the one…
