::cough:: The reason they keep them alive as long as they do is that they sometimes have the wrong person behind bars. The only thing worse then the state murdering people is the state murdering the wrong person because they didn't have adequate legal representation. 8O Agreed, Chris. My father, Dr...

It wasn't until my 3rd year in Japan that I really started to study. I can't emphasize enough how big a difference there between life in Japan if you can speak Japanese vs life in Japan if you can't. Having 500-1000 Kanji is very helpful in daily life too. That makes me feel much better. I also ass...

Why do many men urinate in the open in Japan? Why not? If you've got to go you've got to go. Mike Ox, your friend sounds like a real jackass. Starting a fight that ends up with a guy getting his arm broken over peeing in public. That mouthy broad he was with probably deserved to get pushed. You said...

Most Japanese people in Japan aren't sensitive to that. It's the Nikkei living in the West that don't like it.

I don't know why you guys keep posting this Tyler Brule stuff. You'd better stop because you're making me angry. And Trust me, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I don't know if that's possible. I knew an OB/GYN that loved pussy just as much, if not more, than the next guy. And if any job would kill your urges, it'd be that one. Looking at real pussy all day on an examining table would be a bit different than examining photos of unusual sex acts for Japanes...

I remember these sandwiches my brother and his friend used to make when they were in high schools. They'd cook some bacon then cook some spam and eggs in the bacon grease. Then they'd put the spam, eggs, bacon, cheese, and mayo on some white bread and fry the whole sandwich in the grease. Holy shit...

Actually I think it was because if guys do it it has the same affect as looking at too much porn: desensitization and loss of interest... If my memory serves she said that for her and most other women it was "just a job" -- they didn't really even look at the pictures, just put the mosaic...

Probably because you need two hands to do it.

Everyone's gotta do these now. I had to fill one out for my trip to Australia last year. :( Yep, it's been that way for at least 25 years. Hey Steve B....I don't remember my 1960s entry as a kid on vacation but I am sure that form had to be filled out then. Taro, I never filled out anything like th...

Some time last year, I came across an arctile that compared average portion sizes served at restaurants in major world cities. Tokyo and Paris were no where near the American supersized portions. Don't eat too much and move your body around a bit and you should not be overweight. When I was younger...

Do you mean they're more cultured or it's because of French culture.

FG Lurker is right to throw Canadians in there - all the "developed" world should be thrown in there as well. There are 1.1 billion overfed people offsetting the 1.1 billion hungry and 2 to 3.5 billion with vitamin and mineral deficiences. Ranking by share of overweight adults in the mid-...

I'm happy to say that I'm doing my best to contribute to this trend.

Thank God they took care of that problem. I was worried someone might learn the truth.

I'm looking forward to watching this tomorrow: Japan's War in Colour

Why is that funny?

Actually rooftop gardens are good (not sure about waterlogged rice paddies though). They provide natural insulation, absorb runoff, and help clean the air. The new Seattle City Hall has one. It actually just looks like a field of grass and weeds.

Quite strangely the English are held in very high regard in America (correct me if I'm wrong!) You are correct. Unless you're talking to an Irish American. They're probably the most anti-English nationalistic Irish people in the world. When I was growing up in NYC Irish pubs would have IRA fundrais...

To talk in the words of my beloved exBF -professional sport fucker since he started to have sex and way older than me- you give her a base and leave the choice to her. No games. Speaking from my own experience in sporting activities- the certainly fastest way to get where you want. What he's talkin...

The JET Program actually paid me, a guy with no qualifications or teaching experience, 3.6 million yen a year for three years to surf the internet, watch movies in the English teachers' office, flirt with high school girls, and regularly come to work late hung over, unshaven, and wearing jeans and a...

I suppose you and your friends never would have done anything as out of control as dance on a stage when you were 20.

FG Lurker wrote:Yep, the best and brightest. The leaders of tomorrow.

Japan's future looks dimmer every day.

Oh Please. A 20 year old got tackled for dancing on stage. Hardly a sign of the end.

Sounds like your average Iraqi understands Japan better than the New York Times.

You might be underestimating what a local threat and a little U.S. influence could do... I'm sure if it came to it that South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and maybe even Russia would be al over China. There are already Russian sailors saying that the U.S. and Russian Navy would 'have to put the PRC navy i...

I need to print this out and show it to some of my Japanese students who think I'm just Japan bashing when I say their dentists are shit.

Now if they'd only make Enola Gay stamps.

I think the best question about this.,..is not what' is the difference between Chinese and Japanese but...what is the difference between Chinese, Cambodians, Koreans,Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese. I dunno what to say... I hate to use that sorta *racist* term by saying they "all look alike"...
