"Hawai'i is under lockdown"?? That's silly. Why do all these "kanaka maoli" want to go back to the "good old days" when monarchs like Kamehameha ran the islands like a personal fiefdom. Ridiculous.

@mlover15220 Well, I can tell you our conservation society supports it as it has employed many local villagers who would otherwise be poachers. It gives them a real wage to support and educate their kids. And a lot fewer animals end up being hunted. Animal numbers increase over time and wild a...

"Dude overreacted" is hardly a justification for this embarrassing scene by the professor. Nor is it an appropriate choice of words for a "university lecturer". A five second diversion to ask that the student see him after class and to proceed with the lecture would have been a far better alter...

A little too high....

Ah, these are just immature kids and nothing causes one to mature faster than the chatter of water-cooled machine guns and the whip of bullets over one's head.

Buy UK/USA products.

Got no dog in this fight as I'm neither a Brit nor Argentine but simple principles of human rights means that the wishes of the residents of the islands control who should govern the islands. If they want to be British, well, let them be British.

@mxfreak212 H & H isn't the make, friend. H & H refers to Holland and Holland and particularly the type of cartridge used in the rifle. "Make" means "who is the manufacturer or custom gunsmith?". Hopefully it's a bit clearer now. And, no, I don't take offense at the "dummy" remark. The inter...

Magnificent. Wonderful "southern" feel to this song. Beautifully done. Thanks.

If you want a lesson in imperialism, see what the Chinese are doing to Zambians in their own country. Chinese own the mines and when the Zambians complain about working conditions, the Chinese shoot them down. chinese have no right to be lecturing anyone on imperialism

Her obamagirl videos were fun but I think the 15 minutes of fame are over

for those "complaining" about the vid, there are many countries other than the US where you can do a lot more. Want to have fun throwing grenades or firing RPGs, try cambodia and a slew of other countries. They aren't drinking and they secured the other side of the lake. so what if they want t...

I'm not Argentine or British but it seems to me that the people of those islands decided that they want to remain a British overseas territory. I thought we reached a point in human history when we don't force people to live under a government they don't want???

When the radical Islamists in Islamabad finally get their hands on the nuclear arsenal, I fear that arguments about the British legacy in India will be very moot. It will be goodbye Vishnu.....

Deepest condolences and best wishes for the Japanese people. We are collecting supplies for you here in America and will stand by you. Hang in there. Oh and for poster below, nuclear power stations require an enormous amount of cooling water which is why they are located on rivers and seas.

A case in point as to why government cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Detonating 3 atomic weapons and exposing people in Utah and elsewhere to fallout just to show that "untidy" houses and "poor housekeeping" can pose a fire threat if a nuclear weapon falls nearby.

There has been sufficient development on the islands. We need to preserve the natural beauty and not re-create Waikiki everywhere.

Rap is mainland. Why are you using it for a Hawaiian sovereignty video????

Wow. I had to watch this twice and am stilled stunned. As a long time NPR supporter, I have to say that "not another dime".

Why do beautiful women feel they need to go through these procedures? Great smile and great body before the procedure.

I'm from Hawaii and I still don't understand how people can say land was stolen from the "people of Hawaii". We owned NOTHING. The royal family owned everything. The people were oppressed under a monarchy. Stop whitewashing the past!!!

@bobslay12 The Hawaiian flag was selected by King Kamehameha I to show the islands relationship with both the UK and the USA. It's not an "imperial" flag but one designed and selected by the Hawaiian king himself. The general form of the flag is nearly two hundred years old.

@melovesyellow Actually this is not right. McArthur declared Manila an open city. Japanese Gen. Yamashita did not intend to defend the city. Japanese rear admiral Sanji disobeyed Yamashita and decided to move naval units into the city and defend it "to the last man". The Japanese troops also ...

It seems to me that the islanders who have invested their lives there feel they are British and their rights are paramount. I agree with what the one lady said. Leave them alone. We are supposed to have gotten beyond forcing people to live in a country they don't want. That is called colonial...

Umm, no offense but your "redesign" is, well, a bit ho hum. A province named "British Columbia" ought to have some Britain in its flag.

My state flag, Hawaii, part of the US, has the Union flag in the canton. No one gets "upset" about it. It's simply part of our heritage. It would be hard to see how Australia would forego such an important part of its history as Great Britain represents.

skycaptain, beautiful airplane and very nice craftsmanship in building it.

Beautiful aircraft. Where is it located? Looks like south Pacific somewhere.

My "one question a day" is: why do you have trouble locating the untouched can of shaving cream in the bathroom cabinet?

@soph6ia If you are a hindu and a believer in the teachings of Gandhi, such intolerant thoughts should find no room in your soul. I have seen the work of British church groups in other parts of the world and cannot agree with you. To disregard the wisdom in the teachings of Christ as "piracy" s...

This generation has no right to this song. This belongs in the 1970s when real emotions existed. This song will always belong to Todd Rundgren!

Blue Eyed Soul. This is music that touches the heart. God, how I miss it.

Here's some advice from a non-Brit: stop apologizing. Thanks to the UK, this territory is now a protected environmental wonder and one of the cleanest reef systems in the world. Otherwise it would have been trashed like most systems in the Indian Ocean.

so I am indifferent to this entire independence issue. Sovereignty activists think independence is the "be all, end all" and it isn't. I also thank you for withdrawing your comment about my being "fake". I appreciate the courtesy.
