I agree that the women in these pictures look like they're 2-bit.....well, you know. A LOT of Japanese Women on society dress the same way in every day wear, and what is more startling to me is, many younger and younger girls are dressing the same way. If I ever have a daughter, she will not leave the house dressed like some of the girls and women I see at the stations and bus stops. No wonder a lot of J-Men act like animals who cannot control their desires....

The reason is the lack of instructors who've been abroad for the pratical language experience. Most Japanese teachers of English never go to the uSA, England, or anywhere else in the English-speaking world: they learn all of their trade right here in Japan. Language learners can "book-learn" all they want, but until they have the chance for pratcial learning, they will never truly learn the language....

No, it isn't: it is common courtesy, not to mention chivalry and gentlemanly. When I'm traveling on the train, bus, or subway alone, I usually give my seat up if it is crowded. If I'm with my wife, I usually don't...

Lipscombe, how about you doing some "look(ing) it up" and realize that Christianity is the largest faith in the world, with something like a billion and a half followers. Now, if we look at the whole world, then, yes, Christians are outnumbered and we are the minority. But then again, how can the world's largest faith be considered a minority? And instead of dismissing my comments about Tsubaki as "pure nonsense", how abourt answering the questions I posed? If you can't, just say so. What the media is doing with Tsubaki is imposing transsexual beliefs off on people who know and believe differently. Anyone who cannot see that is naiive or blind or both.

So much for "intelligent" debate with Lipscombe. Again, nice try, Lipscombe. The glaring fact ofthis matter is that liberals such as yourself are, typically, two-faced and hypocritical. With your buddy Clinton, Lipscombe, it was all about sex, and he shouldn't have been impeached. Now, Gov. Palin's bad, bad, baaaaaad. Way to go in showing the hypocrisy!!! Lead the way, Lipscombe....

Lipscombe - Yes, and predictable of you too, to blow off what was posted. All the same, this Tsubaki is -- by the media showing him off -- trying to impose his beliefs and his ideology off on the majority. If you cannot answer a post, Lipsxcombe, why not just say so? Further, maybe in japan, Christians are in the vast minority, but what about elsewhere, like the USA or South Korea? How is it that one group that is TRULY in the minority (Gay, Lesbians, Transgendered, Cross-dressers, and Bisexuals) get more rights than Christians?
carash - so who told tsubaki that he was walking around in the "'wrong' body" in the first place? Who was mistreating Tsubaki that he felt like he needed ot become a woman (or attempt to, at any rate)? Who told Tsubaki that he wasn't a human because he was born a boy, but wanted to be a girl? What court handed down a verdict of "non-human" to Tsubaki? Who took his children away? Who took his job away or fired him for wantign to be a woaman? Who was discriminating against Tsubaki because he felt the need to change his sex (or try to)?
Why is it when people look at a person who makes a sickening, unnatural lifestyle choice, and criticize that they get all sorts of labels pasted all over them? Why is there no room any longer for intelligent disagreement and honest debate? Why is it when GLBT people criticize the church, and opposition arises, they shout "Free Speech", but when the church turns and criticizes GLBT people, it is labeldd "Hate Speech"?

Lipscombe - If it were Palin herself, yes, she and McCain would lose my vote (not that McCain had it in the first place). As it is her daughter, and further that her daughter isn't shirking her responsibility, nor taking the "strong, courageous" single mother route, but is actually marrying the father of her child, that says somethign to me about Palins' and her husbands teachign of their daughter responsibility for her actions. Yes, it is a travesty that she chose to have sex before marriage, but to me, that sheds more light on the daughter than it does Gov. Palin.
Nice try, anyway, in attempting to muddy the waters or my personal stance.

This story wouldn't be one if it were a Japanese rikishi. Makes one wonder how many J-Rikishi do Mary Jane or worse drugs?

Palin's Daughter and the Father of the child are getting married..........but I guess that matters little to the hypocritical left liberals. When Clinton did his thing with a woman who was yougn enough to be his daughter, it was "just about sex". Now, when Palin's daughter is found to be with child (even though she and her beau are taking on the responsibility and gettign married), the knives are sharpened, and the story gains 143 (ahead of this one) comments, the majority of which are blasting the GOP Veep. Nominee for her values.
Pathetic, but not surprising, from the liberal left....

An "Adult" Film Actress was part of a 24-hour telethon to raise AIDS awareness? That's a bit messed up. Isn't that like putting a bank robber in charge of a bank?

Lipscombe and VOR - Tsubaki being paraded around as soemthing or some kind of "normal" person, whien such is not normal, IS imposing beliefs and views on others. This is the reason why ColAmerica has spoken up, using the bible in his posts. What this person is doing is parading around and receiving accolades and attention for something that, really, is a disporder of the Nth degree. Yet, people here have defended Tsubaki and praised him, even so far as calling a sex-change operation "courageous". Tsubaki's "celebrity" IS imposing a belief that is exteeme on the norms of others. That is why people such as ColAmerica, borscht, and my self, choose to speak up.

Yabits - Governor Palin has a husband, doesn't she? Then, seeing that she does have a husband, is it not too far out there to believe that, while Mrs. Palin is serving as Veep, her husband could take care of the children? You're posted quote of soemone else, and your agreement woudl have merit had Mrs. Palin been a single mother. seeing that she isn't, your quotes have no basis....
