These spineless salarymen need to get their balls out of the jar their wife is holding and take control of their life. A wife or a husband giving an allowance to the other is ridiculous and insulting. Next…

Singapore hands down! Best business class in the industry, great food and of course beautiful flight attendants. The A380 B/C is amazing!! SAS also has a good business class more so for the food and wine than the seats as it seems to last 2-3 hours. Thai is not bad although some of their planes interiors are in need of a serious upgrade. China Airlines?? Check their safety record, not so good!

Japan needs to reduce their amount of social spending across the board and encourage more foreign investment. Japan should start off by reducing the retirement wage to 20-30% of you last monthly wage versus the 2/3rds or so it is now. This would encourage people to invest more in the stock market to supplement their retirement which would help to stimulate growth. But just like we are seeing in Europe once people get a taste for government handouts it is very difficult politically to take them away.

Some fair prepackage stuff but to get a taste of Italy they need to have more of the basic ingredients for making Italian sauces and dough. Who wants to buy canned tomato sauce? They should consider selling San Marzano tomatoes and Italian wheat flour (type 0 or 00). Does anyone know where to buy these items in Tokyo?

USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Thailand, UK, Denmark, Singapore, etc, etc., Most countries will only give you a receipt for miscellaneous low cost items like a coke if you asked for it. As far as proof that your 120Y coke is correctly registered and taxed give me a break. The tax is included in the price plus why do you need to audit the cost of 120-500Y worth of stuff?? Yes I know there is a receipt box but the point is why waste the paper in the first place?

Another reason that you have more trash in your pockets is that you get a receipt for EVERYTHING!!!!. Why I am given a receipt every time I buy a coke, an onigiri a pack of gum or my Starbucks is beyond me. What is the purpose of all of these receipts?? Is there a government audit taking place or something?? And think of all the paper being wasted, 30 million people getting receipts everyday for cheap meaningless items.

Illegals can't vote, really?? The fact is that you are not required to show your ID in most states when you go to vote. There have been several attempts in some states to do so because of the concern over illegals voting but of course the left screams racism. Plus in many states you can get a drivers license if you are not a citizen. Ever hear of the motor voter act = get a license and register to vote.

Arizona Sheriff shot by illegal aliens today. http://www.wzzm13.com/news/news_story.aspx?storyid=121097&catid=14
Also, speaking of boycotts there are about 20 million illegal aliens who should probably consider boycotting Arizona.

Yes there is an agenda by the democrats to increase their voting base in the form of illegal aliens. So when anyone tries to clamp down on illegal aliens the diversionary tactic of screaming racism always begin. They march out the same old group of clowns like the good old Rev Al Sharpton to make their case. The good news though is the more they use it the less effective it becomes.
