I went through a period about three years ago where I developed a pretty intense fear of flying, and I would have a mini freakout at least once per flight. This is really bad for someone who travels often. It makes an already stressful situation much worse. Not sure why, but I got over it after like a year. Maybe I just accepted my imminent death.

How long until Australia establishes an "Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and makes Indonesian oil production great again?

They'll ignore New Zealand, which will thrive with its it accurate interpretation of so called ozzies.....Keitha....that's a man's name....will be so worried about 'choking a brown snake' (her words) she and "OZ" will wither back into irrelevance.

So, Canadian cop refrains from shooting a guy who pantomimes (I assume its not a real gun) drawing a gun multiple times, and doesn't shoot the guy? That cop would probably get fired in the US. He can see better than the shitty cell phone video we have, but he would have been in the clear if he shot the guy. Apparently, he's a a decent human being and rather took the risk rather than blasting off. Can we bring him to the states to be a training officer?

An absolutely awful situation. At this point I don't even care what motivated the murderer. If he was hoping for suicide by cop, I'm glad he didn't get it and he'll have to live with his cowardly actions for the rest of his rotten life.

Fascinated by this guy. His artwork strikes me as incredibly sad - the work of someone who feels truly alienated (no pun intended) from humanity.

More on this: apparently a man was arrested in Australia and has been linked to unsolved murders there and the EAR/ONS/GSK cases.
