**I bet you no-one in France drinks it **

You've lost. There are so many foreign tourists buying that.

Duboeuf is a crook, he was caught selling a mix of unknown wines as beaujo nouveau. I usually get some as omiyage or seasonal present. The last 10 years, it was…

What does that make they are "economically dependent" ? Living independently or not is completely unrelated, and defined by familial relations and choice of career. Certainly a person that has the ambition of becoming a researcher in medicine will live on family's expense over the age of 30, but that…

What illness did she have ? If I was dying, it's possible I'd prefer doing an euthanasy before I lose most of my physical and mental capacities, and I don't think that could be considered a classical suicide. Is this the case here ?

@Randonenigma "so many Japanese sites block connections from outside Japan."

Do they ? What about Baidu ? Didn't they become famous in helping the Chinese government in shutting China's internet to the rest of the unfiltered world ?

TheNewZen, no need to be a lawyer to understand that if the guy resigns it's because his hands are dirty. That says nothing about the actual smoking or not habits of the 3 Russian guys BUT that makes it clear : the Sumo Association has acted weirdly againts them to…

I tried 5 or 6 machines like that in the recent years. They didn't work well enough to be helful. If they made progress, that can be a useful tool for beginners. On my first years, I've carried around Zaurus PDA to hand-write kanji and look them up in dictionaries.…

***Once a man, always a man

Precisely, Ayana never was a man and always felt she was a woman, even when she was wearing the family jewels. So for me, she can mutilate her body, get the look she wants and live as a woman. The proverb says : If…

TheNewZen, they would sell mushrooms legally in kampo shops in Kansai, which was not shocking as in my country herborists would also sell them in the past. Before idiots became addicted to it and poisoned themselves, there was no reason to oulaw those mushrooms in any country. In Japan kampo…

I'm tired to read foreigners are the ones selling and buying the dope in Japan. This is an invention. In Osaka, you can go to Namba every night, you'll see 99,99999% of the pimps, drug dealers and other yakuza have Japanese faces, Japanese looks and probably are Japanese,if not they…
