China vows 'forceful' response over Taiwan VP's U.S. visit

So, invite the lieutenant Governor of Puerto Rico to China? Reciprocity if they believe Taiwan is just a province of China. Anything more is not proportional and is aggressive.

Better to just sell us caves. 18° year round.

Sure they'll respond the same as if they asked the US to destroy its nuclear arsenal.

Children whose parents have criminal records will not be eligible.

Anybody gonna mention this? Why should children be responsible for their parents? Do children get arrested when their parents break the law?

Reason of removal: Offensive / Vulgar

> Have to say it, but was the child ruled out as a suspect? There are murderers at that age.

Sorry, but how is it offensive to consider all suspects? I'm not saying he did do it, I'm saying he shouldn't be ruled out. If that's offensive, then the entire system of justice and law & order is offensive. Come on!

Important for any future foster/adoptive parents.

Did he get his money back?

Vigilante justice should be stamped out.

Isobelle:

The IOC should be disbanded and the Olympics completely reset to become a sporting competition that is 100% about sport, not corporate sponsors and money.

I'd love to hear your proposal on how to do such.

I need a facepalm emoji

Many U.S. polls have indicated that some in the country believe the nuclear attacks on Japan were necessary to end the war.

And I'm sure Al Q'aeda thought the downing of the twin towers were necessary to end US involvement in the Middle East.

Let's just call terrorism terrorism and war crimes war crimes, regardless of who does it.

Moderator: this is related and analogous.

Should the city council/assembly directly be in control of Olympics?

... The host country should be in control not an unelected corrupt cabal.

The national Olympic committees are "unelected corrupt cabals" too. I don't recall ever electing any national Olympic committee members.

In some. Edit button, please

Also works as great urban camouflage ins one older cities.

2nd from the left: I see what he did there. Another brick in the wall suit.

I don't get why parents without any visitation or custody should have to pay child support. If the other parent denies them access to their child, they should then be denied access to their money.

Surprised no one has hired an extraction team to smuggle the child back into the custody of the other parent in the other country. Desperate measures when the law fails.

Imagine if a person could say they are not a member of the national court system—they could do whatever and couldn't be touched. Ridiculous. Why should countries get to decide whether or not to belong to the international court system?

NO Taxation Without Representation

Exactly. Let the children vote. They are citizens too.

So ¥5 million, ¥10 million? Most important of the answers to the essential questions is missing: HOW MUCH?

Why is Belarus not able to compete? Because they think differently (say they support putin)? When did thoughts and opinions become grounds to ban people from the olympics? A certain German leader of the 1930s would be proud.

Staff: "Save that for the hate hotel. This is a love hotel."

Dressed as the joker...

Well, did he stay in character? Where was batman? Important questions THAT ARE RELATED TO THE ARTICLE. Please do not delete.

That wasn't the issue. It was the name.

Thinking she was arrested more for biting the person rather than taking the ice cream. Biting or eating others is frowned upon in polite society.

Perhaps rename from NATO to USTO (US Treaty Organization), especially if Australia's coming too.

Has anybody noticed that Oppenheimer is low key, dark and rather edgy while Barbie, the other popular movie this summer, is lighthearted and fun, making for a playful dichotomy at the box offices

Well, it might be a tad inappropriate to have Oppenheimer as lighthearted and fun (with Barbie being low key, dark, and rather edgy). I mean, that might work if Mel Brooks is directing it.

They're not banned due to the strike. They are allowed to go and even be their character, they just can't advertise for their upcoming movies.

where it’s priced at 32,500 yen

I can buy an actual window AC unit to carry for 20,000 yen or less, and an extension cord. Be cheaper.

Always 20°C inside the spacesuit, even if 110°C outside.
