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.

Maybe, you can use theconcept of index of refraction where two materials should have the same index of refraction so there will be no bending of light.

My God, people! Can't you just lead a normal discussion here? Is it really necessary all the swearing, abuse and offending? You could just say that you agree or disagree and say your reasons, but no, you just need to swear... damn, now I really want to offend everyone... I'd better go.
And yes, the information given in the article might be a bit inaccurate, in my opinion.
