Japan is 98.5 percent Japanese, with 99 percent of people speaking Japanese as a first language, and as many as 96 percent subscribing to either Buddhism or Shintoism (or a mixture).

Next time if you include the cross street I won't have to look it up. Just saying...

I have been schooled.

Maybe she can sue in California? I thought they passed a broadly worded revenge porn statute. (Or maybe it was somewhere else — I don't know).

Welcome to age 24. Maybe quit the Internet until you turn 30.

A moot point since Scotland won't vote for independence. Also, a country of three million sheep herders and out of work coal miners (Wales) seems like it would suck pretty hard.

They would happily "give it back" except that a majority of people who live in Northern Ireland like things the way they are. Democracy is tricky sometimes.

Yeah I'm not sympathizing with the school. I think they're a bunch of assholes. I just don't think there's a reason to put a principal in cuffs over this one.

It might not be technically a scooter but a motorcycle with automatic transmission is as goofy as a motorcycle with three wheels.

It might not be technically a scooter by the US DOT definition but it's goofy to put an automatic transmission on a "motorcycle." It's about as cool as the three-wheeled bikes.

You are correct, sir.

Yeah, it's okay, but can you name a Fortune 500 CEO or head of state who's a man with long hair? It looks shitty and unprofessional.

Which is something a person or federal agency can sue over, but not a crime.

"Pressing charges"? Maybe Lindy needs a refresher on the English language. Not allowing a child to enroll in your school is not a criminal offense in any state I'm aware of.

It's not written in the law, but many judges that I've observed take crimes by authority figures more seriously than crimes by Joe Citizen for the reason you mentioned. They get particularly incensed when a lawyer commits a crime.

Do you mean historic "sites"? You probably do.

I once pushed a dudes leg with mine back to its proper place. It was morning and I had no patience for that shit. (I am myself a dude).

You sound exactly like a non-drinking prude. Good to know my stereotype meter still works.

This is a theoretical possibility but I don't think it happens often. Women who get legit date raped often don't go to the police, so I doubt there's many cases of women getting retroactive cold feet.
