religion? not very.
superstition? very.
Your right on here bamboohat..
My in laws dont do much in what I would call religion(in a western view), but they/we do all the right things for the paticular religious holiday/day...
So I dont think they are overly religious, but they dont want to not do the ceremony items either...So they are religious just not overly.
Its actually refreshing that religion is in the culture and just part of what is being Japanese, and not like it is in the States..

It was too much in the first place.. They should of used the money in a different way and set up regulations to stop the problems, but like a good goverment we throw money at the problem hoping it will go away..

That picture in the LAtimes seems a little wierd since the so called prisoners are not bound and one is holding a walkie talkie... TO me it looks more like a group of people who know each other sitting, but maybe in Cambodia they dont cuff the prisoners and allow them to talk on communication equipment....

Yabits said: More conservative nonsense. McCain's proposed plans will make the deficits FAR larger than Obama's.
**I know you said this but you also stated he is a paygo **
yabits at 09:20 PM JST - 15th October
Can you show me something tht has either one going neutral_?
Obama-Biden are publicly on record for a reinstatement of PAYGO rules. What more evidence do you require?
So if we make statements that he is PAYGO and Neutral then we now must admit he isnt PAYGO and neutral since his plan increases the debt...
Yabits said.
>Obama is inheriting a massive deficit from Bush, and it will take far more than four years to bring us back to anything close to the surplus that Bush inherited and then squandered away.
who ever wins is getting a debt created by all of goverment and if they wanted to they could create a budget that doesnt increase the debt, but they dont want that...
You also realize even under Clinton we had debt right, we never had a suplus he used the extra moeny above the budget for other items and not debt reduction, during Clinton the Debt actually increased.. . Date--------------Amount in debt 01/04/1993 4,167,872,986,583.67
01/04/2000 5,758,316,426,486.15
that seems to be a trillion six increase during Clinton....
Heres a link for ya to the info.. http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway

Yabits Im still waint on the answer of how his plan is a neutral paygo plan when it increses the debt? Maybe you just misunderstood what he said, maybe he said he will get paid in gold....
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/411750updatedcandidates_summary.pdf
Including interest costs, Obama’s tax plan would boost the debt by $3.5 trillion by 2018. McCain’s plan would increase the debt by $5 trillion on top of the $2.3 trillion increase that the Congressional Budget Office forecasts for the next decade (see Summary Deficit Table)
Both Candidates are going to increse the debt, not lower it.. Both are going to lower taxes and decrease the amount of income the goverment makes, while both plan to increase spending...
Vote Barr he at least has a mathimatical correct plan that shows a decrease in spending and a decrease in the debt... But hey why vote for a guy who isnt in one of the two moron parties...

So increasing the debt by lowering taxes and spending more is neutral....
Ok..
got me a bridge in NY city Id like to sell ya too... either you know something the budget experts dont or your just repeating a sound bite.... Actually read the link its just hard figures from their plans......
The PAYGO or pay-as-you-go rule compels new spending or tax changes to not add to the federal deficit

Yabits, thats not true according to his budget and numbers... Its imposible to do that in the situation we are in, in the figures I have seen on Money and Investor news sites is that McCains increases present spending by 238Billion and Obama by over 300Billion...
Can you show me something tht has either one going neutral_?

But your link yabits didnt apply the candidates expected spending, which is a very important part of how deep in debt we go...
http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=141 McCain around 92 billion Obama around 300billion in new spending..
And why are we planning to spend more when we cant afford what we have going on now...._??
Truthfully why are we cutting taxes when we owe money?? Both of them are idiots...

You cant have it one way and not the other...
If McCain is to blaim for his supporters then Obama is to blame for his..
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/02/obama-mccain-camp-cynical-not-racist/
“In no way do I think that John McCain’s campaign was being racist, I think they’re cynical” Obama told CNN during a Saturday morning press conference. “I think they want to distract people from talking about the real issues.”
Ok so you and Obama dont agree about McCain....

leitmotiv...
Then based on that Obama must hate America, whites, and rich people.. Because those who support him say that...
What I said was very simple.. You said he was using racist attacks, and that is not correct..
If we allow a flow through system to work in accusing people of racisim then everyone is a racist....
If you meant that McCain has some supporters who yell dumb racist remarks then you should say that instead of trying to spin it to him personally..
Also why do those who make prejudice statements like you try to talk your way away from that statement, take a lesson from Smith.. hes prejudice as hell and he doesnt try to say other wise....
Just to help you out in trying to label me, I think Limbaugh is an idiot, just like all the poitical analyst and talk show people (and supporters)who dont look at the facts and say a political party sound bite.. "Like Mccain has done racist attacks"
You stated your opinion and I stated mine that your statement was prejudice and maybe racist in its self...
Moderator: Readers, no more talk of racism on this thread please. It has no place in an exchange of views among mature readers.

leitmotiv.. I asked what racist attack has McCain done, or even Palin... Please educate me Im a little lost on how you can link it to McCain when its a supporter doing it... If that was the case then Obama is as prejudice as McCain and more Racist... but we dont judge the man by who follows him we judge him by what he does and says..
Im Waiting.......

If McCain is using fear to sway voters, then what is Obama doing trying to link a president most fear to McCain?
Both are using fear tactics to get their idea out. One is trying to use fear of terror, the other is using fear of the same..
Both are blowing smoke out ther rears and neither is actually talking about the problems of the US...
