    The world and some of the people in it has truly gone nuts. Hope the little one will pull through.

    One of the funniest men I have ever seen or heard. His humor was a bit over my head as a child but when I got older and "got it" I never stopped laughing!! A great man that made a generation laugh. They rarely make 'em like that now.

    What more can be said than what the other posters have already stated? He and Siskel were the first and ONLY movie critics that I actually liked and respected. A strong man to the very end......I will miss him.

    Not a huge fan but at least she is a positive influence. Too many things and people focus on negative behavior and get rewarded for it! Keep doing what you do Oprah.

    @tmarie Yes, it is good that there are still people that think of the needs of the children instead of the selfish vengence fueled reasoning in so many of these cases. I guess there is some sick pleasure in exercising control with the governments backing. My heart goes out to all who have and continue to experience this. Although my kids are now grown (21 and 23) we had a brief relationship about 10 years ago. They are now fully brainwashed into thinking that they only exist to care for her. No independent thoughts or desires for their own future. They are to this day told that me, my wife and their half brother are not good for them and that they need to stay with her. I love them and wish them all the best. I hope they will one day think for themselves.

    @tmarie Yes, in my case it was the consulate in LA. When confronted about it the would only continuously repeat "she has rights too". Indeed she did I believe that this particular subject has a much better chance of being settled fairly outside than it EVER WILL in Japan.

    @tmarie My ex actually told me that since she was Japanese she did not have to abide by the laws of the US. When first told she could not leave with the kids she had a meltdown right there in the court.
    That was when she was told to surrender her passport as a condition of visitation. All the good that did. For $5000 her ........aturdney dooped the system and actually encouraged her to flee. He knew the Japanese system and money talked VERY loud. I remain hopeful that this will change things but I'm only fooling myself.

    What really needs to happen is that countries like the US, UK, Aus etc make it illegal for a Japanese woman to leave the country with her child unless the non-Japanese spouse is present at the airport and freely gives permission. End of all international kidnappings...

    Best idea I've seen. Having them surrender the passport is ineffective......any $2 lawyer can trick the courts into handing it back to them for "obtaining" new ID.....that's what happened in my case.

    Yubaru me and my friends are giving all Y plate cars the finger. Let them know how we feel about them.

    And this shows great maturity and thought provoking discussion on this issue.

    @BerieWooster: thank you for the response. I know what you are saying and I too wish that the world was a better place. It was you nor I that negotiated why the troops are here. I agree that Okinawa has a heavy burden hosting most of the troops. What I don't agree with is the paint 'em all bad attitude of some posters. I don't like to see mine or anyone else's career cheapened or slagged with untrue blanket statements. I will not get into the politics of the base issue because like it or not things will change very little in that arena.
    I would like nothing more than to wake up tomorrow and live in a perfect world with no need for a military. I still post the question that why do some posters think that humans are capable of perfection? No one man, woman or any leadership position is capable of controlling every action of every individual. Like it or not that is why we are individuals. All over the world and in every situation someone will ALWAYS think that something does not apply to them. This is NOT an excuse in any form. We can only weed them out and continue to work towards that elusive thing called perfection.

    There is no earthly reason to have these bases here. There is no "deterring" factor, as there is no one to deter. Except the "enemies" only known to a paranoid imagination.

    Did you really put any thought into this statement? Paranoid indeed. @sfjp330 at least goes about this in a logical approach and opens dialog to sensable solutions. He/she didn't belittle or slam anyone. It is recognised that not everyone is as bad as you paint them.

    Puh-leeeze. You guys sound like Japanese politicians who can not understand why their policies always fail but are sure it is nothing that they did. It is never because of lack of effort or good intentions or thoughtful consideration. It is always some external cause or worse, an impossible task that just can't be overcome despite their greatest efforts and a situation which the people will now just have to accept. Shouganai...

    At no point did I talk about failed policies. Fact is all good intentions will have those that will buck the system. Another fact is that effort has ALWAYS been there. The sheer amount of briefings and AFN comercials on these matters show it. I say again that perfection DOES NOT EXIST. Care to share your blueprints on this? It would seem that you can do no wrong. I aint mad at ya though. We all have our opinions.

    saidani: I am still feverishly working on that all seeing all knowing eye. I am still working on trying to make perfection.....well, perfect. I am still dreaming of the day that the military does not need to exist. Perfection is a fantasy.

    It must be awfully hard to keep mounting the defense after each successive breech of discipline when deep down you know it will likely continue to the point that being stationed in Japan will be considered punishment instead of a tropical R&R.

    Our passion to defend those who do the right thing is as strong if not stronger than those who would drag us through the mud.

    He says anyone with any brains at all would never enlist or take the oath. So the General issues orders to make up for a lack of general leadership.

    Again, his PERSONAL VIEW and in NO WAY is indicative of how the vast majority see it. So you would prefer anarchy? We are having a problem with a few very bad apples but you encourage people to rebel? Topic is drinking of base in Okinawa has been banned for the time being. Nuff said.

    Anyways are the guys who are doing this just temporary staying in Okinawa? when i stayed in aomori, i never heard of any troubles with with airforce air(wo)men at Iwate airbase.

    Thank you, and we are proud of this fact up here. We are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but we do try to police our own. It is a very small tight community here so that certainly helps. The Misawa community works with us.

    MoBass4u third time charm, you have nothing to support it not being true. Group punishment instead of true leadership. Soon he says the draw down will lead to a US military full of brown nose. He was in Jimmy Carters military and says you have no ideal. He says that military leadership can not find (censored) with both hands on the (censored)!!!

    First of all the fact that this is only happening in Okinawa clearly shows that it is NOT universal that leadership likes to hurt those under them. There are many things in place to prevent this. Second, by your own admission in a previous post you mentioned that your guy was disgruntled with the military so I can see where this thinking comes from. All of this is HIS personal thoughts on this

    I have no disrespect towards you or your guy but this is not productive in any way. I DO NOT condone bad behavior in any circumstance But spouting off untruths should and must be challenged.

    My guy was under them and he says leadership likes to hurt those under them.

    Another TOTALLY untrue statement. There is absolutely NOTHING to support this statement.
