Japan has continued whaling  throughout all moratoriums under the guise of "scientific research", it's complete bullshit.

I was going to say that your girlfriend is safe at the beach now, but that would be just mean.

If it would get deleted there why wouldn’t it get deleted here?

I need to see independent corroboration before I'll believe something that's published in a Murdoch paper. The Australians themselves have a healthy skepticism towards their media:

Quote

In response to the question "Which newspapers do you believe do not accurately and fairly report the news?", the Daily Telegraph came third (9%) behind the Herald Sun (11%) and "All of them" (16%).

I didn't know Aldo was still around, is FILA or B.U.M. Equipment still around?

 

Aldo remains one of the largest shoe companies in the world, remarkably. The history of this company is fascinating. They take the latest trends, design their own shoe based on the trend, assemble it and get it on shelves in 6 weeks. 

 

They have (or had?) stores around the world.

I have no confidence that these two cops will face any serious jail time or legal consequences. They are cops and have been connected in the past with the local district attorney's office and the victim was black. They will probably get house arrests on weekends and be back on the job in six months after being suspended at full pay.

Even though one is a retired cop, I have to believe, with that video, they will have problems. Big problems.

Given the sad history of prosecuting both cops and killers of black men, I do not think this will go the same way it would if the victim was a white person or the killers were not cops. Remember the Zimmerman incident?
