    It has never seemed to me that trouble had to be invited. It just visits anyway. Is McCain suggesting that things are hunky dory now, and Obama will change all that?

    I do not know about any one else`s math but if you have 46% and the next largest group has 30% doesnt that make the 46% the majority?

    Ummm no. The other nonwhite groups would be seen in combination, so you would need more than 50% to have a white…

    I grew up in the USA, and there was plenty of bullying at my school. Some people just found it entertaining to abuse others. It's not just a Japanese phenomena, though killing oneself because of bullying may be.

    As far as stopping it, I've never seen a successful way to…

    18 intellectuals? Did they have to pass a test? I have to agree that building another military installation would be insane.

    It's nice that they haven't wired in the retaliatory barrage of missiles from the US ships stationed near Japan. Should be really fun if that happens...

    First, I agree with kinniku. Sugar-coated popcorn is nasty. Second, I can't imagine not having plain popcorn at a movie theater, but if that's what people really want, why not? Maybe they can eat apples and carrots, in this way continuing to annoy folks around them with eating sounds and…

    It's better than U.S. coverage in that at least you can watch the complete opening ceremony without interruptions or commercials. U.S. broadcasters, at least most of them, assume the viewer has the attention span of an ant, and plan accordingly.

    If there are no U.S. bases in Japan, then Japan will need to have more weapons and troops, since some of its neighbors aren't all that friendly. If Japan has more weapons and troops, there are just enough right wing nutcases in politics to get the country back into an…

    No, the Olympics is a sporting event. It has economic and public relations value as well, but is not related to democratic or economic reforms, except those temporarily necessary to act as a host nation for the event.
