Sarge - by your reckoning, why "should" Obama be up by 20 points? Did he do a better job in the debates?
The expensive clothes are ridiculous, not to mention she could have bought American.

I dunno, some of the tarentos make me laugh.
And have you actually heard her speak in Japanese? She isn't half bad at all, much much much better than a lot of the usual gaijin that come over and can barely hold a conversation. Just because she needs a translator during a PR session/interview doesn't mean she can't converse.

Noripinhead - have you NEVER been out of Tokyo? It's hard to believe people who live here who have a pulse, are not bedridden and have at least access to tv realise that so much of this country is uninhabitable mountain forests.
Glad the 2 are fine - it must have been cold and scary at night. Good thing no bears showed up.

There are actually signs and campaigns all over the place on ATMs, and if you haven't noticed them, what are the chances that the aged would? A personal/human touch is a great idea but as always, the issue lies in execution of the plan.

Samuraiiki - that's actually quite a typical and classic reaction for someone who is only able to think in terms of literal translations, and not from the standpoint of other cultures/language. A bit more interaction would help increase your understanding. Ganbatte!

I love COCOICHIBAN, but I don't think I want to be in a plane full of people eating at the same time.
Sarge, it's too bad for you. Rice burgers are lovely.
Dornier, a hamburger from Mos Burger can be a treat compared to some of the nonsense we get up there.

Um, because even if the enemy had the same guns, they are not semi-automatic and the enemy also has swords and arrows?

When I took Northworst in the states, I was shocked at the size of the stewardesses. They were over a certain age, which does not hamper their ability for service, but were also fat and therefore blocked anyone from moving past them through the aisles. They were also freaking cranky and had no concept of service. Maybe I should have tipped them, I dunno. People keep trying to claim it works.

if they actually have came out and said it, chances are high that they will refund the cash. I wonder why they admitted it anyway. Some internal threats of whistle-blowing?

Skipthesong - if the cops plan to go in guns blazing and indiscriminantly killing your kids and rest of your family who have committed no crimes in their bid to capture/kill these criminals, then you can be sure by gods most civilized people would be supporting you.

The tv just had an interview with him where he said he absolutely did not say he was retiring, and was unhappy that there were nonsense articles like this appearing around.

And beating a Commonwealth country in field hockey is quite an achivement in itself. These lot might have a bit more game than their volleyball counterparts.

Has this ever happened to you or have you seen this happening? Or is this one of those usual "hate on XXX country with no proof"?
And it seems to me that Air France wrapping someone in packing tape in public would be a little worse than being asked to step on a scale.

Why can't you read to the end of a 2 paragraph article? The police said that the 4 morons haven't admitted to the motive yet. What do you want the reporter to do, beat it out of the 4?

Saw this guy on tv once and was unimpressed. He was berating this cook who was working the pizza station on the grand opening of one of his chains because the guy didn't know the basics. He made the guy stay in after the shop close to show him the basics, I guess it was suppose to make us all think he was a dedicated shokunin.
All it said to me was that he was cutting costs by posting a freaking newbie on his most important station on the grand opening of a shop and had only himself to blame for not preparing his staff better. Try spending a little more time and money on training, SC.

I doubt the 120kg female student needed much lesson to put down the average dude. Or actually, even have to worry about people attacking her.
