   Hire Thugs

   The Asian solution: hire thugs to choke yakkers.
   
   Employees of a newly opened Starbucks just got the shit beaten out of them by a large group of thugs because they didn't pay up "protection" money.

   Re: Hire Thugs

   Dorpus, how does that relate to this story?
   I suspect you are just looking for any platform to speak.

   Mobile Phones and Terrorism

   I think one problem with mobile 'phones aboard aircraft is that they can be used to set off bombs. For example the Madrid railway bombs. You wouldn't want any risk that an incoming call could set off a bomb in the hold of an aircraft.
   
   Meanwhile here's that dopeus link translated by Google. Needless to say it's a completely different story than in dopeus' fantasy world (another reason to ignore them) and I was surprised that Google does such a bad job of producing understandable English. Japanese must be hard!

   Re: Hire Thugs

   What's the matter, aren't you turned on by the idea of green-aproned Starbucks employees flying through the window, gushing Vente-sized rivers of blood?
