This is really an oversimplification of the whole idea of loyalty. As others have said, the kamikaze should not be romanticized, they were REQUIRED to do what they did. No different from the Japan of today where people do things that are required of them whether they want to or not. People have no voice to express their individual needs and their individual vote for their leaders counts for nothing. Misguided loyalty to an Emperor who they thought was a god, whose voice they had never even heard until after their country was destroyed and their families and friends decimated.
I wonder how your American naval officer husband feels about kamikazes who killed past generations of Navy men as a part of their "loyalty". Misguided loyalty to a country, a cause or a person has led to most of the evil that we have seen in our lifetime and throughout history. Why were there no American kamikazes? Because Americans would have seen the uselessness of the whole idea and would have said "hey, there has to be a better way than THAT".

I cant stand how they go back in time to 15 and 20 years ago and try to apply TODAY's standards to something that happened back then.Back when he supposedly did this, asking a woman back to your apartment was how you hooked up or found out you weren't gonna hook up. It wasn't sexual harassment, it was how you either failed or succeeded in getting laid. Now you get with sexual harassment without even doing anything sexual. (what did he actually DO that was bad? just asked her back to his place which she could decline and which she did)

We get it, the lady is buxom, she is busty, she enjoys to get naked with guys from the net. I guess that is the "pro" of internet dating, that you can hook up with chicks who cant go out for anything longer than a 2 hour session cause they have kids?

Is that what the Internet is FOR? And what is he getting treatment for? being a man? I dont see what the problem is if people want to enjoy themselves on the internet with like minded people. Not like the internet is "real" or anything.

So what was the actual point of this article? I thought it would be about making valuable friendships with mother like figures while the guy was homesick for his country or something. But it kinda turned into pimping old and sick women to get stuff? Kinda creepy.

Next thing you know men are gonna let a bunch of women tell them that jerking off is "cheating".
"Online flirtation is infidelity, because thoughts are acts!” Say whaaaaaaat? So now if I THINK about something I am guilty of doing it? Any man that puts up with that type of crap thinking might as well turn in his balls at the door when he goes out to his 16 hour a day job, he's done.

Exactly! If you are 39 and are lucky enough to have a 22 yr old wife who gets paid to model underwear, its not a big thing to say "sorry" every now and then, you dont even have to mean it, just say it.

I dont see the difference between speaking with the person next to you and speaking to someone on the phone IF you are using the same level of voice.

no effort at all, like @jason6 said they sell those Pikachu and frog (Kerropi?) costumes right by the door at Don Quixote. As they are for girls, I am surprised they actually fit guys too. Ah well looks like they had fun and I actually prefer the girl in red for some reason, she looks like she would be fun.
