"If saying "I do" in English was too hard for them, maybe they could have said the more universal phrase, "OK!".

I think they should have used that often used Japanese gesture since saying, "I do" was too difficult ... just nodded their heads several times enthusiastically.

I find it difficult to believe that in what is proving to be difficult times for Japan the voter turnout is only 42%. Are the Japanese that apathetic as to what happens in their own country?

Glad I make my wife go.

As I've got one kidney I prefer bottled water as I believe it to be cleaner (not that I've ever done scientific tests on it or anything of course).

I think it is a great idea. Keep the aborigines happy and also for preservation's sake.

It was only a couple of years ago that Australia gave the aborigines a national apology. That apology would meaningless if Australia didn't respect aboriginal belief in some cases (such as this).

"You should see the signs here in Singapore telling people not to enter the train before the people get off, yet people still line up not caring right in front of the posters. I think it all boils down to education. I see children all the time acting without manners…

This "employee" must have been completely blind.

"The food wasted on this competition is pretty insignificant. If you are that bothered by the food wasted in the Nathan's contest then you should be boycotting just about every food service establishment in existence".

I hardly think there is some similarity between the average food establishment and this kind…
