The same allowance Mom gives to the kids she gives to hubby, which makes the kids equal to Dad, or... even lower. How could J-kids ever respect such a father? How can he respect himself? This is a J-custom? She spends his blood money for years like a leech and turns him out like sodai gomie when he is old? ( if he doesn't commit suicide first ) How are boys supposed to respect an absentee father that is treated like the oldest son when he is home, or how can boys respect women when they grow up being suppressed, castrated and feminized by an over zealous matriarchal kyoiku mama who holds power over papa? Fushigi deshou?

I wrote this about the issue on Feb 19th 2009 on JT.
"Taliban forces quickly cut through the Swat region shooting innocents and beheading the opposition. Now, as a reward, they get what they want; a license do continue doing the same with impunity... in the name of God.
And what did the Pakistani govt get in return for negotiating? Nothing. This kind of appeasement resulted in Adolf Hitler's WW2 march across Europe. Make no mistake, the Taliban will not stop until they have toppled the Pakistani Govt. Af-Pak will then become the epicenter of WW3, as the conflict boils over into India/Kashmir".
These rabid dogs must be stopped!

Gee, ya think?
Now that these whackjobs have been appeased and rewarded for their brutal behavior, they wont stop at the border of Pakistan. When they have the nukes, don't think for a minute that they wont threaten the world unless we all submit to sharia law. All of you who love to appologize for the murderious islamist thugs, what will it take? A mushroom cloud in your back yard, or just your head in a basket?

Is there an official public anxiety meter used by the police to test when they "create unease among the public", or do the cops just feel better faking remorse with this kind of suck up comment for public consumption?

Celebrity Natsuki "Doll"? Who would play with such a doll? Only pathetic delusions of doll-hood would cause anyone to wear such a vapid creation.

committed to reforms...
What reforms? Give them all a driver's license and then citizenship for violating US immigration laws? Isn't it odd that every administration since Ronald Reagan has let the border go to hell? They ignore the fact that 70% of Americans want the illegal immigration problem stopped, whatever it takes. But nothing is ever done.
When talk of putting up a border fence grew shrill, the Mexican govt shrieked, "NO! You Americans cant build a fence! Why, that un-neighborly, that's un-American...& that's racist!" wtf? And anyone who supported this end was deemed a racist by the lamestream US media. Now that the border jumping Mexican criminals have done something that Mexico doesn't like...bringing in guns and drug cash...Obama has to zip down there on a quicky and apologize for the US, even though WE THE PEOPLE cried out for tougher border controls over 30 years ago!!! You cant have it both ways because it it cuts both ways you morons!!!
Now the Mexicans are crying Boo-hooo-hooo! because the same scum that are crossing our border with impunity are shooting each other like dogs in the street. Why cant the US govt understand that we don't want this kind of vermin in our country!!! Build a fence Obama, and you will make lots of friends on both sides of the fence!

Democrats dismiss as a fraud...dismiss them as irrelevant.
An attitude that typifies government for, by and of elite politicians and the banksters. Anyone out there who doest think they pay enough taxes already...go ahead & pay more, if you consider it you "patriotic duty" to do so. Go ahead mock the tea parties as you are robbed in broad day light by an out of control govt that has lost all responsibility, accountability and credibility.

4x60x365 is an annual rate of 21,900 hostages.
We can either;
A) Surrender the captain of each ship that passes anywhere near Somalia to the pirates and send a thank you card with cash. OR;
B) Arm all ships with sufficient weapons to defend themselves and assume all fishing boats are pirates and blow them to hamburger.

Also, make sure to check behind the gills for an expiration date. Of course, if you look deeply into its eyes and the fish looks back at you and winks, by all means take it home. Some species of fish will sometimes "play dead" to avoid the frying pan. This is understandable, however, since not all fish are fond of being eaten. How do you tell a good catch? If you think a fish is simply playing dead, grab them firmly by the pectoral fins and French kiss them for at least one minute. If this doesn't work, blame the French. Always blame the French, never the fish. Make sure the fish understands you are not an anti-European idiot. I recommend taking the fish out to a good Italian restaurant, but avoid the calamari; its considered rude.

poverty as an opportunity
Indeed, poverty is an equal opportunity free will condition for those naturally selected to pass along little or no DNA. While begging for rice and writing poems seems romantic enough, someone still had to break their ass planting and harvesting the rice. (Damn all those unromantic hard working bastards!) But unlike poetic beggars of old who flirted with such simplistic rice bowl philosophies,(SRBP) our paper driven corporate damn the worker economy (CDWE) does not discriminate against lazy poets or even the hardest working of shlocks. Drafted against their will by the undertow of the mother of all bubbles, otherwise highly intelligent corporate zombies are barely treading water as the tsunami breaks on the heads of the doggy paddling debt driven masses, sucking them under by their bankrupt asses. The rest is simply academic for the sharks of "povertunity". Ha! If poverty is supposed to be such a spring loaded Japanese opportunity, suicide must be a real gift.

Every economic refugee... just a thief waiting to happen in "safe" Japan. All Japan needs now is a few unemployed fishermen and it can sponsor its own version of the Somali pirates.
