How do you know that they aren't popping in and messing things up?

But I agree with the conclusion that time travel is impossible. If it was possible, we'd have people popping in from the past and the future all the time messing things up.

The thought of the possibility of people taking advantage of earthquake / tsunami victims by way of sexual assaults hadn't even crossed my mind. I guess my mind hasn't been corrupted enough to come up with such an idea. But, now that the article mentions it, it does make sense. It's a perfect opportunity for predators. I think that raising awareness is a good first step in prevention.

No it is not just Japanese children. Greed makes people do stupid things all the time. I see stupidity as a result of greed happen everyday and everywhere. Greed and stupidity just go hand-in-hand. Greed and stupidity knows no bound. Greed and stupidity do not discriminate among races. Enough said.

Sometimes I get ID'd by people who are younger than me!

saborichan,
Oh, are you sure about that? I'm 35 and I still get ID'd at casinos, clubs, and such (by the way, the legal age here in Canada is 19). My uncle got ID'd until well into his 40's! So, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the possibility.

kwatt,
This is like my 10th time looking at the photo. It's because of the girl that I keep coming back to see it. If she were a "macho man" guy, I can guarantee you that I would not even give the photo a second look. I think it is the same for most men. The girl's purpose is to draw men's attention and keep drawing them. It worked on me and likely worked on many others (so, I would say objective complete). That's just part of good marketing strategy... knowing who your target is and knowing how to get and keep their attention (you know the old saying... guys don't think with their head, they think with their "other" head if you know what I mean). A macho man model will definitely get my attention (it's uniqueness will stand out), but it will definitely not keep my attention or keep me thinking about it (at least not in a positive way). So, with the macho man model, the objective will not be completed. Although the main objective is to sell the damn thing, you still have to get the targets attention and keep them thinking about it. Would I buy the motorcycle because of the girl? My answer to that is: probably not. But, will I buy it if there was a macho man model? Hell no! (lol). Seriously though, a macho man model will definitely not make me want to buy it more... if anything it will only make me want to buy it even less.
PS: just in case it isn't obvious to some, I am a guy.

Kwatt, look at it this way... what do most men like? The short and simple answer is cars (trucks and motorcycles included) and women. So if you want to sell something like a motorcycle, the most logical way to do it is use women to sell them. Makes sense doesn't it? At least I hope it does because I wouldn't know an easier way to explain it.

OssanAmerica,
So she can still be part Russian and Japanese and still be Japanese-American as long as she was born in America.
And I think you are right that she is part Russian. Judging by the photo (which is hard to do sometimes), she looks more Japanese, so I would say she is 50% Japanese 25% American and 25% Russian. That would just be my wild guess.

OssanAmerica, I don't think you have to be a mix of Japanese and American to be Japanese-American. I think they might mean that Anna Tsuchiya is Japanese but was born in America and thus is Japanese-American.
I speak from my own situation experience because I am considered Japanese-Canadian. I have Japanese parents, but I was born in Canada.
