This is just sad. Don't worry. That's just an emotion.

Do you seriously believe that? Yes. And let's be sceptic and say they will mix it,…

Yes as borscht has mentioned! But you have to be interviewed to get the delectable little treat ! And sure everything is about branding stuff! I think people need more stuff! And to get a head start in life, the regiment of becoming a stuff user and a stuffer of fries seems a worthy lifelong dream for everyone! If they would just throw in one of those miniature Ice Cream cones...

Hahahaha... So I had to fast scroll to the bottom of the comments to see how many comments there are! And couldn't resist placing one myself! LoL I'm rolling!! I call it a "stick up the butt mentality". Like patrons of the symphony that sit there quiet and still even when the MC asks for participation and have a little fun! Proper attire and respect to eating noodles should always be done in only one way!!! And that is the proper way! Control freaks just like to control! Apparently those that made the judgement call on this just haven't learned to enjoy Cartoons or understand staged humor! Freakin' Sad A wake up call is due... Geeez!

Yes, it sounds like they were ill prepared! A stroll with proper equipment and education should have been foremost on the list! Even before taking the first step up the mountain! Proper gear and knowing how to use it is the minimum that should be considered when going out for the day for everyone. I doesn't matter what your plans are for the day, things can change and leave you caught without protection... We already pay more taxes for everything and will keep paying! I sure as hell don't think I should get insurance for a weekend hike, if say I fall and break a leg and have S&R retrieve me or someone I'm with! Insurance is education and training! Maybe we should all pay insurance to walk around the block! You never know when a mean dog will chase you or something! Pfffft! That's the problem now!!! Pay me and I'll protect you! Bulls#1t... I think the best insurance is training and like many protected areas, require passes to enter! If your not prepared, you will be turned away with a simple list of requirements and rules!

I'm thinking a translator... My 17 Y.O. second cousin is about to tour Japan. I'm sure he is smart enough to learn something! But why learn the language when all he needs to hear is a thousand young girls screaming his name! I'm sure someone can translate! Knowing him he is already learning some key phrases and greetings.

Yes! Organic on a commercial scale could be slower at first! But thats part of the problem! The oil it takes to transport food! Community gardens or even small personal gardens can, with effort, produce a substantial crop for a family or more! Anything that an individual can grow or as a collective can be of value! We gotta start somewhere! Chemical farming has killed the soil as zichi has pointed out! Myself, I'm starting small and building a garden over a period of two years! This year is only herbs and a few tomato plants. By next year a 400 sq. ft. plot! For example, a twenty foot row of carrots can be grown in a 4 sq ft plot! Dig? Many Many ways a person can grow food! Look it up! Start something in containers! It can be fun and if done right, not that much effort and the rewards are great! No freakin chemicals...

Why learn something that is so narrowly used? I can go just about anywhere on earth and communicate in English! I thought about making up a new form of communication just to confuse those that don't understand it! Geez...

@RR You must be one of the most misinformed individuals! All of this is about control! Period! Hemp has long been used for many things besides making rope. The science community as well as medical have performed many tests to discover cannabis's effects, chemical makeup etc. I could go on for weeks about this subject and the reasons that it is classified as a class 1 drug along with heroin! Because they don't see medical use? Bullshit! Doctors are the biggest pushers on the planet of the real poisons! It's only all about control and MONEY!

No one wants war or the threat of annihilation. Bringing a simulated threat against the US is a big mistake! That king of the hill mentality won't fly. Nor do their rockets! Geeez!

Media is commonly used by the governments to spread propaganda. ISP are only that! A provider of a service and not a creator and distributor of said content.

Oh great! Now I can buy cars from ebay that fall apart as fast as most of the other Made in China junk I've purchased recently. Failed laptop cooling pads, inexpensive stereo equipment with a non working headphone jack and prized Japanese goods now manufactured in China, that don't compare with Japan's past efforts of meticulous quality control. I'm sure they would never pass import safety standards here in the US anyway. Keep that junk in the country it was manufactured! If it survives it may someday become a classic and a collectors dream come true. Like the BMW Isetta. Hahaha

So this is the important news? I love how tripe like this gets so much attention when I see other worthy info only has 4 comments! It just shows where most peoples minds and priorities lye... Everything you see or read causes someone somewhere to form an opinion. It serves to shape us in ways we usually don't recognize or want to believe. What will be, will be. Like it or not...

I can barely relate to needy American, been in 5 relationships and looking for a sugar daddy, women ! let alone even think about starting a relationship with someone I can't communicate with! Beauty is only skin deep and much of it is makeup! Usually the women that are all about fashion are not the ones that try to make a relationship last! When you don't maintain the perfection that they assume will last forever, they usually look elsewhere! I call them Takers!

Aged Beer? Not! Budwiser and most regular" beer water", is swill and perfect for the people with little or no taste for crafted beer! Beer is best when first crafted and fresh from the tap! If I want aged brews, I'll think about a single malt whiskey or even a bourbon blend! Never an aged beer! Gotta taste nasty! IMHO...

It's hard to comment on a subject to many that don't live here in the states! And after reading all the comments, and living in one of the racist cities on the planet, I've lived to witness the racism here since Mr. King was shot! If you read history, black people were brought to America by the British as slaves! They have long fought to become as equals! When one of their own race is killed as in the boy walking through a gated community, the black race usually pulls together to protest for injustice and change! With many white people joining their cause! But as a nation there are still many fights that everyone doesn't band together to fight! Here, you don't see most white people banding together when a white person is shot by a member of the black race! You only see some facts on the news! The reason they stick together is because of the past oppression! But walk into most banks here and apply for a loan! You will most likely be greeted by a black banker to submit your request! Why? Because to rise above the past, they become educated and excel. There are still many pockets of the city that you would not dare go into as a white person! Areas of town with wanna be gang bangers walking the streets daring you to even look sideways at them! Those are the people that will perpetuate the ignorance and slow the progress of ending racism! When a person is just a person, whatever country they come from or what color their skin and they are not a threat to me, I embrace them as a person not as a threat! Education is key but there are many white rednecks that don't want to get the bigger picture! I am white and I have a problem with white rednecks! For example, I was sitting at a stop light and noticed a pickup truck in the lane next to me! When I glanced over, there were three white rednecks all staring at me like three dumb country bumpkins! I now go out looking like one of those morons to fit in and not stand out as an outsider! Will I get a group of white guy's that dress in decent clothes and protest? I don't give a rats ass what they think! They can wallow in their ignorance for all I care! Those types will never change and most likely neither will their offspring!

Simulation? That sounds like a waste of time! I don't believe that Japan needs to conduct a test to know what will happen! It's seems obvious by now doesn't it?

Without reading the comments it seems to me that you have a lonely cop problem! At least their only licking hair and pinching ass! Here in the good ole USA and more specifically Memphis, we have cops that have been jailed for rape, drugs, and more! It got to the point that the police chief was ridiculed for not getting things under control! NOw he is replace by someone that understands the mess and is taking a hard line on his blue light troopers! Cop or no cop, he would be mine if a cop ever touched my daughter! He wouldn't see me coming, he would be on his knees holding his manhood for dear life! That being said! Not all cops are bad and I understand the job and the dregs of society they have to deal with each day! But the main reason they exist is to serve and protect! Never think a cop can protect anything! They usually only chase the bad guys because they themselves were maybe once one of the bad guys! At least once a week there is some cop or local political figure in the local news! I suppose no one is perfect but It's just freakin job not a lifestyle! But the good old buddy system sucks em in to become partners in crime! NOt all but one is too many!
