Kira was well guarded, however, and his residence had been fortified to prevent just such an event. The ronin saw that they would have to put him off his guard before they could succeed. To quell the suspicions of Kira and other shogunate authorities, they dispersed and became tradesmen and monks.

Ōishi took up residence in Kyoto and began to frequently visit brothels and taverns, as if nothing were further from his mind than revenge. Kira still feared a trap, and sent spies to watch the former retainers of Asano.

One day, as Ōishi returned home drunk, he fell down in the street and went to sleep, and all the passers-by laughed at him. A Satsuma man, passing by, was infuriated by this behaviour on the part of a samurai—by his lack of courage to avenge his master as well as his current debauched behaviour. The Satsuma man abused and insulted Ōishi, kicked him in the face (to even touch the face of a samurai was a great insult, let alone strike it), and spat on him.

Not too long after, Ōishi went to his loyal wife of twenty years and divorced her so that no harm would come to her when the ronin took revenge. He sent her away with their two younger children to live with her parents; he gave the eldest boy, Chikara, a choice to stay and fight or to leave. Chikara remained with his father.

Ōishi began to act oddly and very unlike the composed samurai. He frequented geisha houses (particularly Ichiriki Chaya), drank nightly, and acted obscenely in public. Ōishi's men bought a geisha, hoping she would calm him. This was all a ruse to rid Ōishi of his spies.

apparently it is a pretty common probelm in canadian courts to have defendants saying "i plead the fifth amendment" and the judge is all :rolleyes: "remind me which section of the canadian charter of rights and freedoms that's in, again?"

also i've heard of quite a few problems with american tourists going to places like france or germany or italy which they assume is just like america but charmingly different accents, only to smoke a joint and find out that in those countries there is no such thing as an unlawful search or detention and the presumption of innocence does not exist

and to make it not all dumb north americans, i have heard that many european emergency departments now maintain 911 as a secondary number because the locals have quit remembering that they're supposed to call 999 or 112 or w/e it had actually been for several decades

yeah the fbi has all kind of jurisdiction on a bahamian flagged ship off the coast of spain i know about the convention for the prevention of unlawful acts at sea and all that poo poo so don't sperg out, but it's not as simple as picking up the phone in a cabin, dialing 911 and asking for the criminal mind people to get on an helicopter

don't forget that there's tons of "sovereign citizen" people in canada who also make the exact same arguments as their american brethren, down to the same misunderstandings of the us constitution. thats why it was some judge in like alberta who wrote a definitive takedown of soverign citizen arguments.

yeah a lot of people just assume that all of europe is liek the dutch as far as drugs go when really a lot of them have laws for drugs on par with fuckin oklahoma. those countries do have unlawful search and detention tho, but a dude with a joint right out there beign searched dont qualify.

911 is firmly ingrained in people the world over from american media. just about all countries have 911 redirect to their real emergency number now, in no small part due to the fact that almost none of them used "911" for anything else to start with. incidentally things like 112 and 119 and 999 and other emergency numbers from other places tend to redirect to 911 on us/canadian cell networks

i got to play 911 operator when i worked on a cruise ship, and it was funny as gently caress because people would call 911 for the dumbest poo poo, ("how do i get to the spa?") or when they had an actual emergency you'd ask them where they were and they'd be like "uh I'm on a ship, we left san juan about an hour and a half ago... the (wrong ship name), it's white."

Criticism [edit]

Upon learning about a TV show 'rumpologist' known as Professor Jose Miranda (a pupil of Stallone's[7]), the Florida psychic Sheree Silver disassociated herself from the practice, telling the Sun-Sentinel, "I can't imagine anyone wasting their time and money on someone like this when there are so many legitimate psychics out there."[9]

Murders of female naturalists in Africa

Joan Root was a conservationist. She was murdered in Africa in 2006. Dian Fossey was a conservationist. She was murdered in Africa in 1985. They were both women of caucasian heritage. Coincidence?
--Atikokan (talk) 03:15, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Concern with murder of female conservationists in Africa who are of caucasian heritage

Is this worthy of a separate Wikipedia entry? There are numerous cases now, of the murders (mostly unsolved) of White female environmentalists and conservationists in Africa.

Dian Fossey.
Joan Root.
Ymke Warren.
(REF: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/cameroon/7864423/British-gorilla-expert-murdered-in-Cameroon.html)

Is there a serial killer at work? Targeting them because of their racial heritage? Or is there a political motive? This needs to be dealt with. We cannot continue to sweep this under the rug. This is the sort of thing for which Wikipedia was invented - to disseminate cogent facts throughout the world, and spark debate amongst intellectuals who have the power to change things for the better.

Or am I wrong?
