You know? This was an act of war. This day and age is strange, another country can blow up another ship and not have anything happen to it?
The US needs a new base in Asia. I say the US should steamroll over N. Korea and fix it up a little. Haha.

HeyLars, good response. I'm one of those who are driven nuts!
As for Tiger, I personally think he felt he was forced to admit to something he truly enjoyed and had fun with. He did it in a poor manner, he should have told his wife his feelings and maybe - just maybe she would have understood. Some women actually do and have fun with it themselves.
I do not believe he will do as good as he had in golfing, he may get some of it back, but in the end his spirit has been crushed. Let's see just how well he can revive it now.

The earth is telling everyone "Hey, stop poking me!" Heh, kind of interesting all the earthquakes recently. When Oklahoma, USA has an Earthquake - something is definitely off. Absolutely no fault lines.

My girlfriend went to an all girl school - and kind of hated it. Too many girls turned lesbians there, haha. The girls look good in the photo and wish them luck in their life. Amazing how many Japanese girls want to enter music, theater, or become another talent. ;)

I cannot sympathize with these girls. I worked retail for two years, greeted my customers, and often worked 10 hours shifts with one thirty minute lunch. I wore black boots (with slacks on they almost looked like large dress shoes) because I had to go outside in the quite often to clean things up, but they were always polished and I put some of those special pads in the bottoms, which were changed regularly. Yet, I enjoyed it all - the hard work paid off and getting to know people was great.
Maybe I haven't worked in Tokyo, but I don't think it could be all that hellish. Cleaning an industrial grade trash compactor out? Now that's one hellish thing I did have to do.
Oh no, I have to fold clothes, greet customers, and look good. Life is so hard! Whaaaaaaa, I say. As for dating them, I'd be happy man to date a girl who worked hard and did her job every day, but not a spoiled one complaining about such trivial things and quitting jobs all the time.

Pixar started in the US I believe. I think Japanese and American animation is equal. Japanese really took off of Disney early on, many of my Japanese friends are surprised to know how old many of the favorite Disney cartoons are.

And everyone will point and laugh. At this point it's just becoming a redundantly funny gag.

Yeah, details are really sketchy. Maybe this came from two moms who found each other and came up with a plan, or some deadbeat dad or got two women pregnant and tossed out his kids. Who knows, needs lots of investigation.

She does look young in that uniform! Good for her! I'm delighted to see her in it too!

Haha, this is brilliant. I do believe most of this is in fact true, China is waging war through economics rather than the traditional method, hey it is a capitalistic world economy. It would be rather scary and hilarious if they took over Japan.

Actually met my lady on a site. Our long term relationship was not intended to be one at first, but we quickly learned we had way more in common and cared about each other more than we thought we would. Over 2 years and its going great. Could say we brought the best out in each other.
Still, I believe talking to people face to face is one of the best ways to actually date someone. My relationship was kind of a fluke, but a good one.

Another thing my user base at work will have no idea how to use. Half my users have a hard time trying to find the start button, let alone creating a shortcut! Maybe this will help them a little... hmm. :)

He gave her a hug and he got arrested? Maybe it was like a hug that didn't end and she got upset? Either way, he got to his room, he didn't hurt her, he just caused some trouble for her. He was drunk as well, at least he was in the right place - his hotel. No need to march up to the guy who would probably be passed out all night - just make sure he knows not to do it again or he won't be able to stay at that hotel (or chain) again.

They look like they're going to kill someone and the angle makes the foreheads of the two in the middle look huge. This is just scary!

Watched a documentary over North Korea recently. That poor country is so... strangely messed up. If they hadn't pissed so many people off they may have actually become rather strong, but their great leader kept making everyone else angry so they ended up fairly screwed up. The amount of construction and push for excellency was great, but the rest wasn't! Now they just have 40 story buildings with no one in them and no electricity, hmmm....
Yeah, the girl is cute though!

Unless the smoker is older than say 60, then no (wasn't a lot of good info that far back). Health awareness of cigarettes and tobacco has been around for a long time now. As Kapuna said, they had to purchase them to use them, so it is a choice. Alcohol is addictive to some, sex is addictive to some, even working, going to school, running, blahblahblah, is addictive to some. Some people are more inclined to be addicts to certain things than other.
Yes, nicotine is very addictive and is a problem causing people to come back to the product, but even knowing that I can't hold the people make them accountable for people suffering for their use. It's a second price you pay... just like over eating thus causing obesity is a price people pay, sexual promiscuity can lead to diseases, it's all hand in hand the risks and prices we pay. All actions have consequences.

Last name of my lady, Sato, also went to a private all girl's school, but definitely not this one!
zurcronium, I believe the same way you do, but a good unbiased research on it would do good for further skeptics. The research done on lab rats screams this isn't good for a developing brain. Until then, no kids of mine will have cell phones until later.
