It is this guy from Liverpool called Charles. He just doesn't take the job seriously at all and the students just learn very poorly.

I am boycotting Kelloggs for my own health reasons. I don't give a damn about Michael Phelps or the Olympics, there are so many better things to give our attention to, such as helping the child-soldiers in the Congo. Maybe Phelps can help them. Does he help anyone? Selling Kelloggs to fat Americans won't help anyone.

Calm down guys, didn't anyone tell you that identifying yourself with a sports team is pathetic? They're not your friends or family I'm sure, and I can assure you that the team members, including the owner, don't give a damn about the city, the fans or you.

Shameful indeed that these people destroyed the economy and are still collecting bonuses, but it is also shameful that people are still doing business with the murderous Israelis.

None, but Narita is a very boring airport. Hardly anywhere nice to brouse, or sit for a bite to eat or drink. Japanese airports are boring. Staff is very nice though.

I think we need to decrease the population. Abortion is not the answer though, but it is OK as a woman's choice. Why the male-oriented, male-dominated catholic church thinks it has any authority on the matter is way beyond me. No difference from the Taleban saying that women should receive no education, they are all about men. The earth really needs to decrease the human population badly. Can we phase ourselves out?

That's what you get for buying a crap company like Lehmans, with all its crap people and crap business. What was Nomura thinking?

One of the main problems with people who support or defend the violence is that they are not considering the people involved as humans. If you humanize the story then this is an atrocity without question. It is indefensible violence with absolutely no chance of a positive outcome. Violence has never solved anything, ever. An eye for an eye leaves both sides blinded. These arguments that go back and forth about rockets and such shows a real lack of intelligence. Murder is murder. The people were real.

The USA will also not send its troops to international tribunals. In the case of Israeli soldiers; well I believe murder is murder. I think that Olmert has no choice but to strongly support them so that he isn't left vulnerable to the same sort of charges. But then again who cares? It is only the losers who are left hanging (Saddam Hussein for example, but no international court involved there).

I don't know why the US needs Gitmo anyways when they have Gaza, where the prisoners have absolutely no rights and the prison guards do not have to show any mercy.

Actually it was the chief justice that made the errors, not Obama.

Sort of anti-climatic. I was hoping for more punch, something to match the crowds that came to hear him speak. Good speech, but also a bit flat. He does speak well, especially comparing with Bush.
