I resolved to drink more and I stuck to it. It just takes willpower. This year I'm going to eat more fatty foods.

Why on earth is the girlfriend's age so important that it is mentioned in the headline?

Your Japanese friend sent you an email in English? Shocking. These pesky natives are getting above themselves! Dump her immediately! If you want a new friend I'm sure you'll find one, because you sound very sophisticated.

You're right, Endame. The article uses two countries in Europe, which it refers to as "a few", and three Asian ones to make a ludicrous generalization about European and Asian "philosophies". It's hard to imagine such a sophomoric piece appearing in any European newspaper.

Dubya has stated in the past that he thinks gay people should have fewer rights than others. Fortunately, such views are becoming rarer in civilised societies.

Perhaps she is unaware that her own country is the largest stockpiler of ballistic missiles, submarines and "new-age ultramodern aircraft". But of course there are different rules for America, aren't there?
By the way, what is a "new-age" aircraft? Does it run on crystals?

Single stroke engine? There's no such thing, unless Honda has invented something new.
Moderator: That was a typo. The text has been corrected.

"I am more embarrassed by the ignorance and lack of "civility" shown to an ex American President."
It would be best for him to stay home. We don't need his simple-minded "reflections".

GJDailleult,
I agree 100%. An airport's purpose should be to provide a service to the public, not to put profits into the coffers of some corporation.

Tessa, the volunteers most likely come from countries that don't even have orphanages, and where many people are willing to be foster parents. Japanese orphans are victims of primitive social attitudes and need any help they can get, even from foreigners.

A restaurant is different from a bus or train. You visit a restaurant to relax in a certain ambiance. Of course some berk nattering on his mobile would be annoying. On a bus or train, it doesn't really matter in comparison with other, far more intrusive annoyances.

Europe does not have a welfare budget, individual European countries do. And, yes, are cutting them, savagely in some cases. Now we'll have a generation deprived of decent education, health care, and pensions, all in the name of bailing out reckless, greedy bankers. Well done.

Smithinjapan, I didn't say that cooking adds nutrition and vitamins. Certainly it is healthy to eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. However, cooking breaks down complex carbohydrates and allows us to extract more energy from what we eat. It probably isn't a good idea to eat only raw food.

Also, we cook our food, which enables us to extract a lot more nutrition from it. if we ate only raw food, especially vegetables, we would have to spend a lot more time eating.
