I wonder what percentage of kids would say the dead can come back from countries that are more religious and what exactly they mean by "religious questions aside". I think AK has a good point about defining death too since, as the girl in the report pointed out, there are so many TV progra...

wtf is an extreme mix?

I've got a friend who's loaded that took a client to a $500 a plate dinner celebrating the beginning of white truffle season. Every dish had white truffles and he said the food was absolutely amazing and the best stuff he's ever had. For him $500 is nothing (wish I could say the same for me). This i...

I don't know specifically about this restaurant, but there can be a big difference between a regular meal and a meal that costs hundreds of dollars.

http://tesla.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/images/lowrez/keycops2211.jpg BBC News Television footage showed the officers approaching a car that had ploughed into a building in Tokyo. They were then seen running away when the driver began pursuing them, brandishing what appeared to be a club. ht...

Mels, I'm not rude to people in public but I don't go out of my way to do anything special for women like I did when I was younger. Of course my Southern upbringing means I sometimes instinctually let women go through the door first or end up holding the door for them but I've tried very hard to bre...

I think gomigirl is the type that believes in special treatment for women. She also supported the idea of a day off for menstration. I've definitely learned not to be be chivalrous with American women I don't know. There are plenty of women that are offended by any kind of treatment that shows they ...

They need to start killing cats in Japan. The place is infested with them.

Dude, you've got WAY too much time on your hands. Why are you tracking down all these versions of this story anyway? You need jerk-off material?

Hardly a month goes by without new irritants in relations between Japan and China. Recent grievances range from a soccer riot and submarine intrusion to dominion over a lighthouse and the granting of a visa to an octogenarian ... Political relations may be at their lowest point in decades as Japane...

What always gets me is when you buy Sapporo in the US it's says "imported" so you think you are getting an imported Japanese beer. This is in fact true - from Canada! OMG...is that TRUE????? Sapporo and Asahi are brewed in Canada and Kirin is brewed in Los Angeles. They definitely taste d...

Mels, I totally agree with you. To me this would seem anti-female and anti-feminist. If I were a woman I'd be offended by it. And if these poor weak little women really do believe that they need special treatment and deserve extra time off that men don't get, then they should never complain about un...

What a load of bullshit. Women can use their sick leave or vacation time just like anyone else. I guess as long as they're willing to accept lower pay and being passed over for hiring or promotion it's OK. I can't believe their male coworkers support that shit.

I've posted this before, but on one of my return visits to the States I brought with me a bag of 10 yen coins] That's pretty sad. Ripping off small business owners with your worthless foreign coins. All those laundromats are owned by immigrants anyway so it's not like he's ripping off real Americans.

... In Japan ... women have lower rates of breast cancer than in the United States.

You can't get breast cancer if you don't have breasts.

Nobu has been here for some years now

But is it "intact"?

What the hell are you talking about?

I actually like natto OK. I don't think I'd go out of my way to head to the Japanese supermarket and buy it but I definitely jump at the chance to eat it when I see it at a Japanese person's house. I heard about an FG who used to buy up all the natto on sale at the end of the day at his local super...

BTW, you are the first person in a LONG time that I've come across that even knows what scrapple is. You must be country as hell. ha.. I only know about Scrapple because my Grandfather loved the stuff. He was a USDA meat inspector and researcher, and presumably should have known better. I haven't h...

[quote="GuyJean"]Not really. I don't trust China] I wouldn't call lobbying dictating. Besides I'd rather have Russia selling arms to China than the UK and France. At least they'll get crappier technology :wink: And just because Russia can do it doesn't mean that the EU should. Since when i...

Here's the thing guys. In the US professional diplomats seldom get to be ambassadors. Especially not in popular destination like Japan or France. Those jobs always go the current president's buddies. So I don't think you can be too critical of Bush in this situation. You might not like the system bu...

No, they don't marinate the meat as far as I know. Besides I like most things shioyaki anyway. No tare for me, thanks. I actually like some of the innards. Especially hormone-yaki. You never quite know what they do to the meat before it gets to the cook. There's some unidentifiable quality about Ja...
