Blue Tiger: You have not disproved the interpretation of history as presented by the BBC in my link, as well as by many others.

You have your sources that portray history in one way and have come to your own conclusions after reading them, while I have come to somewhat…

Pathat - Yes I did disprove it with the posting of the site where the words are, and I quote, "products and services". It wasn't money, it was products and services. The agreement itself disproves oyur assertion. And if the link didn't work, how about you doing some work, and…

Whose to blame here? The woman was sick, yet left alone with the children anyway? The husband didn't pack her off ot a hospital at the very least?

Pedistrians have the ultimate right of way in Japan. You could walk across a busy road and if you get hit, the driver will get blamed. Japanese driving law states that "you must give way to pedistrians". Although I have rarely seen drivers stop at crosswalks where a pedistrian is…

Heck!! Why isn`t this country consistent in these cases? Some people lose their job and are scorned, others seem to be able to get on with their lives. Crazy country.

Obama's people are trying to portray McCain as cranky, and McCain is trying to portray Obama as arrogant. And when Obama was asked what he thought about being called arrogant, he said he was above having to answer that question. And when McCain was asked about being labeled cranky, he…
