    ... seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living ...

    Boy does that sound familiar. I'm having flashbacks to the Bubble

    I like JAL, too. The legroom in economy leaves something to be desired, but their customer service has always been good.

    During a question-and-answer segment with the five top finalists, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the proverbial glass ceiling.

    She's obviously never been to Japan

    I have a feeling that even if Yasukuni Shrine was public property, they'd still find some way to kick film makers out

    When I saw it, the shape reminded me of the Atari 2600.

    World recession, travel industry hard hit - I know let's put on a helicopter service to get to the airport!

    And fill the helicopter with needless luxury, too!!

    What, people can't sit on cloth seats and save some ¥¥¥? What are the women for? There isn't any room for stewardesses aboard. Or are they pilots?

    I'm all for this. I think shooting pirates is fair game.

    Most young Japanese don't even know who Elvis was. Heathens.

    I don't find her attractive at all, whatever she's wearing.

    I cover my ears when the trucks go by. Last year it worked: the girls in a truck saw me and stopping talking until they were far down the street :)

    I walked through the area where the competition was (didn't know it was going on.) It was weird: thousands of people in anime costumes and me in my regular clothes ... I felt like a nerd.

    I'm sort of in agreement with gogogo - why should I care what's going on? I have no effect on things, and people certainly aren't going to listen to me. Also, Japan has done a good job of showing that it cannot keep its political affairs in order (and that's putting it nicely.) They can't keep a prime minister in office for more than a year at a time - how can the world take them seriously?

    On a side note, the other day I was given a fan by the Happiness Realization Party. The people seemed quite friendly. That's more recognition than I've ever been given by any of the other parties and their 近所迷惑 trucks, who just look at me funny or look the other way when I come walking down the street.

    ... Bank tellers are trained to get robbers out the door quickly ...

    The would-be robber, a 29-year-old transient, has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for theft and robbery ...

    Nice policy: get them out the door so they can live to rob another day.

    I applaud Mr. Nicholson. Good for him!!

    How did I know ... yet another chance to start the Boeing vs Airbus battle. Truly boring.

    I'm reminded of the flight in the US earlier this year, that ditched in a river in New York. If I remember correctly people didn't panic on that flight. I wonder why they did on this one? Turn into a piece of toast or become fish bait - in either situation I know I'd go nuts.
