  “We are working to put countermeasures in place as quickly as possible. We have had no complaints from our other branches but we are aware that we have caused trouble for the customers in question.”

  Jesus, no apology? That's not very Japanese ... or is it the new Japanese? See if I ever eat there again.

  I like the snow. Made a 12 foot tall snowman the other day with 10 friends. Never gets old. ;)

  Wish I could to that. I miss snow :(

  I’d like to get married at around 24 or 25, but I don’t have a boyfriend right now and my friends tell me it’s not going to happen anytime soon

  I'd say it's because you look like a man.

  After an emotional dialogue with a company executive, the protesters grabbed all the movie posters plastered on the office walls, ripped them up and burned them.

  Then the same group went to Soekarno-Hatta international airport in Jakarta and threatened to ‘‘capture’’ Ozawa upon her arrival and send her home.

  I guess this group's behavior isn't immoral?

  Sadly this statement has a point looking at how the "problem" is tackled; there is no discussion on why there is such a market for young girls and why the need is so willingly filled.

  Most likely because it pays well. Work at McD's for ¥800/hour or do it with some guy for 3x that amount. It's frightening how some young girls have not a shred of self-respect nor dignity. How does one tackle THAT problem?

  between this and Bush choking on a pretzle I don't know what to say

  I was thinking the same thing. First an "errant" pretzel, now an "errant" elbow. I smell a conspiracy ...

  The best thing to do when the north tries to invade the south is to open up the DMZ and let them in.

  I think that's a good idea: have a couple of BBQs going, some beer and female company. The North would drop their weapons in no time and reunification would be a cinch.

  Alas, that won't happen anytime soon.

  I believe the TV news this morning said that the girl stated she was not being bullied on a school questionnaire. Can anyone else confirm this?

  “Why are Japanese women so eager to bare themselves?”

  Because when it comes down to it, what else have they've got to show for themselves?

  I would think that if a country needs to remind the world it's a world power, it really isn't.
