  • I can't wait for Tokyo 2020; apparently that one will include sporting competitions with robots and anime characters!

    • The people have spoken - the bastards.

      At least their elected representatives. Brazil's Senate votes to impeach Rouseff 61-20.

        The question is who will replace her. The opposition was implicated in the corruption too.
        For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

              Just euphemism. The funny is many of the lawmakers that voted for her impeachment were involved in it too. They are just trying to save their own skin.

              I wonder if free trade can help cure everything... the snake oil mystery tonic that solves all.

              • There is a whole universe of possibilities between solves none and solves all.

                    That has been explained to him many times yet the poster who's former name must never be mentioned continues to lie and pretend it has not.
