FULL STORY

2 Americans... .? an Irish woman... .? a Tokyo room... .This is not priceless....!
A city as big as Tokyo, and it had to be 2 Americans killing a forgener, it figures. Soon we won't be welcome anywhere.
As if Americans weren't killing people everyday anyway....
...she wouldn't tell'em where's she kept her lucky leprechaun and her pot of gold...
what an ugly thought. A girl died, ya know. Grow some compassion!!!!
oooh we have a weebit of righteous libertine are ses on this thread...one can surmised the two american psychopathic, loons were after something...so awake libertines! to one's true face of living "to each his own"...not a very pretty sight, eh?
How does one grow compassion?
Human life is cheap, weeds upon a planet, some flourish while others die.
Not one weed is more worthy than the next, except unto itself.
Selective compassion is a human attempt to prevent their own demise and the human is the most destructive weed of all.
It is that line of thinking that is weakening or civilization, greed, out is the destroyer of worlds
...you should quote scripture accurately...the human soul and life are not viewed as weeds...
My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of this young woman.
Hide Behind's cold words notwithstanding, she didn't deserve this, and her parents might disagree strongly that she is just a "weed".
and people wonder why Americans are hated. It's people like these killers and fools like hide behind. Coupled with the ultra greed of our top 1%. America is a disgrace.
Your nation has and still continues to slaughter around the world, people will continue to die and be born with genetic defects in IRAQ and Afghanistan, you call the innocent killed "collateral damage"?
And you in your ignorance dare call me a fool and hard hearted as along with greedy gor quoting part of a late 19th ventury piets protest against child labor?
And you just called someone's daughter a weed, you holier than thou, sanctomonius twi! HOW DARE YOU???
How a quote from a 19th century poet protesting child labor has any direct bearing on a 21st century Irish woman being murdered in Tokyo. I do not see the correlation between the two. Is it ignorance? I see it as irrelevance.
Ah. You are not from this country. This explains a lot. Perfectly in snyc with a name like HIDE BEHIND. Your words are irrelevant, as well as redundant. Hide behind your keyboard as you spout ignorance over a country you will never fathom. Your opinion is as worthless as your attempts to look learned. Be wuiet.
Thank you for your service to our country, Hide Behind.
Of course, you are free to express your views; just as others are free to express theirs.
I still fail to see how the slain woman earned her nik "the weed", but that is perfectly within your right to call her that, just as it is my right to feel that is a nickname she (nor her parents) would agree with.
Keep on keeping on.
....okay invisible moderator...lol
