Oh so scared.

Watch and learn. If you think Bill & Hillary are going to let the
Kerrys take over the party you are a fool. The Kerrys are about to
learn about Clinton hardball. It won't be pretty.

FOCUS indeed...and I hope she damn well has the sense to stay the hell
out of the 'oval office' then... We elect Presidents on their
platforms, NOT their wives...

Perhaps Hillary should therefore be lambasted for not producing the
'national health care plan' deferred to her by her hubby's deference...
What a waste of 'Blonde'... <g>

No, he won't. He and his Rush Druggo followers will spend absolutely every

Oooooh, those naaaaaaasty Eastern Europeans. Nice little scapegoats

fell.

Are you out of your head??? Money belts are about as safe as you can
get. If someone is going to cut into that, the last thing you should
be worried about is your money!!!

Night trains are safe enough, if you keep you don't do anything dumb.
Usually they have 4 sleepers in them, and you get to know the other
occupants before going to sleep. You are FAR more likely to be
pickpocketed in the train station than robbed during the night, unless
(as I keep saying) you do something dumb, like leave your wallet
somewhere easily accesible.

Me thinks what actually happened is that he lost his money doing
something dumb, and made up an elaborate story, which deep down inside
you knew was rubbish, but you swallowed, being the good-but-oblivious
mother that your are. Then you thought you would come here and slag
off Italy's train security instead - quite unjustifiably.

This is why you got such a hostile reception here. Next time, use your
discretion more wisely, and pick your targets better.

Teen crimes taint Japan's reputation

Criminal acts by juveniles and illegals are undermining the country's image as the safest
place in the world, warns Koizumi

TOKYO - Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi yesterday said Japan's reputation for being the
safest place in the world has been shaken greatly by an increasing number of felonies by
juveniles and crimes by illegal immigrants.

His remarks came amid reports that a 19-year-old Japanese has confessed to raping or
robbing around 100 young women since June last year.

Mr Koizumi said in a speech to senior police officers and politicians in Tokyo that he
wanted to see Japan's reputation as the world's safest place restored.

'The government wants to restore people's confidence in public safety as soon as possible
while hoping that the authorities concerned will be more active in reviving Japan's
reputation as the safest place,' he said.

Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko attended the ceremony to mark the July 1, 1954,
adoption of the Police Law, and the setting up of the current structure of prefectural
forces under the National Police Agency.

'Your duty has increasing importance due to increased crime at home and threats of
international terrorism,' the Emperor said.

Police functions were spun off from the Home Ministry in 1947 when the allied powers
abolished the ministry notorious for suppressing anti-government activity.

Violent crime by juveniles in Japan hit a four-year high last year, with the number of
serious offenders aged between 14 and 19 totalling 2,212.

On June 1, a 12-year-old girl was stabbed to death by her classmate during a lunch break
at an elementary school in western Japan, apparently over an exchange of e-mail.

Three weeks later, Japanese police took a 13-year-old girl into custody for allegedly
pushing a Chinese boy off a high building. The boy suffered minor cuts.

Last week, two 15-year-olds were arrested over the stabbing of a stranger with a kitchen
knife at a festival.

In the latest crime case involving a minor, the alleged serial rapist was attacking a
20-year-old woman on the streets of Sakai last month when police officers spotted him. He
fled the scene but was tracked down a week later.

A record 20,007 foreigners - including both non-permanent residents and short-term
visitors - were arrested in connection with criminal offences last year, up 23.4 per cent
from the previous year, police data showed. -- AFP

Blockhead speaks again. Reflection of a simple mind, no less. I bet you
also think that because the Chinese are generally Buddhists that means that
there are never any human rights abuses in China.

It is irrilevant if watches were stolen or not. The real trick is that
when you buy the watch, a packet is made for you on the spot. When you
open your packet at home, you discover that your watch has been
exchanged with something else (probably cardboard). If you buy something
more weighty than a watch (say, a TV), it is not unheard to end up with
a brick.

For buying watches you go to Switzerland, not to Naples :-)

Any proof for that allegation? I mean, I wouldn't be *all* that amazed
but I've yet to see a shred of proof.

Since P2 was closed in the early 80s that would take some doing.

Is that a crime? the word is 'luxury' btw.
