  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…

  All banks are in business to make money. They certainly put making money before their banking customers hence the crappy savings interest paid, high fees, and high interest rates on loans etc. These people worked for the bank in question why are they surprised to get the shaft when they've…

  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…

  So she's showing a little entrepeneurial spirit. Maybe she should have just sold herself because then obviosuly the cops would have done nothing. Scary that the moral police are wasting time on something like this. By the way, is she hot?

  Dobson should be dismissed period. A true wacko religeous fascist and relic of the 80s culture wars. Whatever I think of Obama I have to give him props for challenging this hater.

  I guess I'll have to work on my Japanese reading skills. What a bogus decision in the first place, I found Wai Wai to be one of the funnier reads. I'm not sure who outside of expats reads the wai wai section anyway so who exactly is getting a negative…

  The truth of the matter is that there is no fundamental shortage. The prices have been run up by speculators on "fears" of disruptions in supply. The point is that the windfall tax will not benefit the consumer in the slightest, I don't hear any plan for that money to…

  Yeah right, when I'm knocking back a dozen beers or so my first concern is the carbon footprint of said beer. Global warming is the means by which the wealthy and powerful hope to eliminate the middle classes' mobility and freedoms.
