So true Dr Jones.
All this heat about Maria Ozawa - yet can applaud such stars as Mariah as role models.

I hope no yakusa get hurt in this whole episode, let's hope the force of corruption and codependence holds fast between the police and our friends in the yakusa.

Versace is just not relevent anymore is it? I'm sure other Versace stores will follow globally. It's a tacky brand and should have been resigned to the 90's for it's retrospective look at the 80's. Something which in 2009 just doesn't cut it..

" a young man in the 1820s, Smith participated in a "craze for treasure hunting"[3] by using seer stones in attempts to locate lost items and buried treasure.[4] Smith would put a stone in a white stovepipe hat and would then "see the required information in reflections given off by the stone".[5] While Smith was being paid for this "glass looking," "

Spot on DenDon :) I have nothing against Mormonism as such, but I do have a problem with the way post war Japan was opened up with more than favorable terms to this organization along with others. Okay, well perhaps I do have a slight problem with modern US doctrines as they are generally originate from the religious zealots which were originally kicked out of Europe.

I hope he makes a fuss as much as possible, this country stinks sometimes with it's 3rd world mentality. It's supposed to be a developed nation for god's sake.

You cannot deny the Mormons a visa as they are a US organization not unlike AIG and Pepsicola. These organizations have thrived in Japan post-war enjoying favorable treatment. There are hindreds of thousands of mormons in Japan. There's a long history of them coming over here over the past 60 years in order to cure the locals. Not unlike the way AIG came over and set up their religion with a no-claims bonus. Mormonism file next to Johnson and Johnson.

Again, I wish to go above whether they eat the meat, I want to go above the fact that other species get caught, I want to go beyond the differences in psyche attached to dolphins on wikipedia. What I have personal umbridge with is the fact that one culture feels it has the right to tell another culture how to keep it's shop in order. The Japanese have a different perspective on dolphins to other cultures. Does this make them wrong? Does it give any other culture the right to say, you are wrong do it our way, think like we do? No it doesn't. As that would be the epitome of cultural imperialism (imposing your culture on another culture with total dismissal for their viewpoint and no flexiblity in your perspective). Like many of these 'save the [insert name of animal here (but no slugs please)]' I find it infuriating that one culture can feel that it's vastly superior to another and as such has the right to evangelize their own cultural viewpoint to the point where everybody is just like them and everywhere is just like Texas..

The issue is people from outside this community/culture saying we don't do that in Sydney, Wellington, London, Vancover, San Francisco, so we would like you to stop doing it as it makes us feel uncomfortable.
Does no one have a problem with that?
Please, I want to know.

I would not eat dolphin meat but then as a responsible and fairly liberal person I cannot reserve the right to stop the actions of another culture or nation because it does not sit with the values of the culture I align to. I am not pro-hunting in anyway, but I am pro-liberty and I find it extremely uncomfortable that some nations/groups/religions are trying to homogenize cultures so they sit with their own values. If we carry on down that route then eventually we will all have the cultural norms of middle America. These people would have us living in the middle of the road if they could and I for one will not have that. I value diversity. I find the 'anti whatever it maybe' crew as nothing less than totalitarianism wrapped up in a liberal sheep's clothing.

And since when did the FBI have any jurisdiction over Scottish law? Opps, just read, he only wrote a strong letter to Scotland, well woopy doo, why bother?

Still, doesn't detract from this person being convicted and then release. His innocence should not come into effect when looking at the sentence. That I agree is wrong.
But like I said, he didn't do it, so I feel less upset about this..

This guy didn't do anything and the FBI should know that. He was given over by the Libiyan government as a peace offering. He is in effect a stooge and most people who well read in this case know that that is a distict possibility if not a certainty. The western world began trading with Libiya shortly after his imprisonment and all was forgotten and Libiya kept their end of the bargain by keeping her nose clean and being a responsible global citizen. What we tend to forget is that Iranian terrorists most definitely carried out this bombing and that this was at best overlooked and worse covered up at the expense of a tit-for-tat with Libiya.. Wake up people, even some of the victims believe this to be the case after extensively going through the trial evidence.

Well, we can assume all we like, but it looks like they were dropping at home, so perhaps dropped and then had sex as they came up the drug. This can be quite nice, as we know ecstasy creates a feeling of warmth and empathy, so taken prior to a sex act can be quite sensual. I would argue like many before that they didn't get ecstasy, it was something else and it went down hill from there..
