Good job US no agreement that doesn't include China and India as they are already eating our lunch. I could give 2 sh*ts about the planet if the econmy crumbles. Maybe that's the whole key, once we're too poor to own cars or heat our houses there won't be a…

This is my neck of the woods, I'm surprised that some action has finally been taken. My wife's uncle made a film about the damming of Isahaya bay and as near as I can tell there wasn't much public support for the project from the beginning. A pure shame, should…

Any deal with North Korea is a deal with the devil. We will have to wait and see if this really leads to NK giving up its nukes. Since the priority of the US was to get the NKs to give up their nuke program they couldn't allow the abduction…

Obama supports the death penalty a very odd stance for a liberal democrat in the first place. I think the supreme court was right in striking down this law. Here are the 2 foremost reasons for this: First children's testimony can be unreliable and without DNA evidence a conviction leading…

I think you catch the Chinese eel by the pollution content. The reason this is a problem is because they charged Japanese eel prices. I have no problem with anyone selling a product for whatever price they ask as long as it is properly represented. The whole deal in selling…

I'm with those who think it was police neligence in getting cut on the hand. The story does not read like this guy was brndishing a knife. Anyway the legal length of knives is a joke as any kitchen knife would inflict far greater damage than a pocket knife that's…
