It seems that many social problems in Japan could be traced to LACK OR RESPECT OR APPRECIATION FOR THE FATHER

Wife cheated on ya, huh?

Your speculation is disgusting! If the father had been abusing her, why on earth would she not raise that in her defense, or at least hint at it, or the mother say something??

Is this a joke?

Or do you prefer to believe that a 15 year old girl just…

Would you let your airline pilot smoke pot before piloting your airplane for takeoff and landing ?

Nope. Wouldn't let him drink, take legally prescribed opiates, or stay up for three days beforehand, either.

Do you HAVE a point?

It's only good manners. Someone who can't/won't stand during the (official) playing of a national anthem (any nation's) wasn't raised properly.

So, if I have an opinion that causes me to feel that I shouldn't stand, I "wasn't raised right"?

Seriously? Do you have any idea how childishly naive that…

but neither do i see the problem with collecting the names of those who do not. unless it is actually used to treat them unfairly. the simple solution is that if they do not want their names collected, then collect the names of those who stand.

What possible legitimate reason…

It's not harmless, but it's not nearly as harmful as general perception has it. I don't smoke it, mostly because I have serious dependency issues...I can't even force myself to quit caffeine, last thing I need is to start up with something that, reportedly, makes music sound better (I'm a…

Based on what you wrote here, I'm making the assumption that you are definitely not conservative. It doesn't take long to figure out that there really is a bias in the news media.

My perception that complaints of liberal bias are overblown means I'm not a conservative?

Define "conservative." I…

Nah, we love the U.S. too much to leave to the likes of Barack Obama. We'll stay and fight for what's right for America.

Cute slogan, Sarge. Got anything of substance? Like, say, something longer than a bumper sticker?

Leave it to TPOJ to put a damper on a positive statement.

Sarge, it's the truth, and it's not my job to be a cheerleader. You were trying to spin a statement from the article that had a valid point (that you misinterpreted, by the way...they were saying that the…
