I have a wooden katana and 3 Blunt katana's but i have the 3 blunts as show. Some people want them for show and respect that in the end yes their swords but if you treat a katana with respect but there is no real places to learn all this when you want to learn. Im the 17 but its mostly people who have nothing better to do and think their clever that go around with this sword to kill

It's a very good law. According to recent surveys, the number of knife/sword related crimes have decreased. This shows the effectiveness of this law.
Obviously the ones who want to buy cheap replica swords are teenage punks who think they are trained ninjas because they watch too much TV and spend too much time on the net.
And the majority of knife/sword related incidents are committed by these kids. So by passing this law, it puts yet another weapon out of their reach. And as for you who think swords and knives are the same-they're not. It takes one blow from a sword to cause serious injury or even death. As for a kitchen knife, it takes 2-5 minutes to cause the same damage. So stop whining, grow up and face reality.

You probably can't sue Google over an employee placing the location over something run down. Google provides the application but can't control what the millions of people around the world are doing. Perhaps you can have it removed.

As for the history of class actions - they started back in England in the seventeenth century with something called a "bill of peace." This allowed an action to be brought when the parties to litigation were large and all had the same gripe. This prevented the same case from basically being tried over and over again with a huge waste of the courts time.

A really sad thing, but, as it was already mentioned here, i don't think it has to do with music, emo culture and all that's related to it... no "mama, we're all gonna die" lyrics would ever get anyone to do that... the cause must be deeper... and listening to such music, writing this kind of stuff is indeed just a manifestation of some inner problems, just a way to get relief and express one's feelings. Commiting a suicide is a way too serious thing as to be done just because of a song...

i think these two girls may have been ralistic and nice girls, i dont say the music is the blame, even though all typs of music may change how you feel, but id very much doubt it made these two young ladies commit suicide, the media takes one too many steps and over exagerates things. i just think that these girls ha something either happen too them and it just got to hard to handle or something like that. but id doubt its the musics fault... if it was im pretty sure i, as well as many other teenagers may have been in this situation to right?????

That's pretty bad Sande. Some people I know have sufered of it too, but I somehow wasn't affected. I had a Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 7.0 beta. It stopt a file with a trojan, from a site I visited everyday. So i figured it must be something the site has, conntacted the webmaster and he got rid of it... trojans suck!
