    Excellent posts, and well put. I agree entirely.

    You know, for once I agree with the more conservative opinion here; I am massively and actively in favour of gay integration, rights, marriage, etc. What I am not in favour of, is the trivialising of all the hard work people have done over the years to move toward a legally more equal society. Kind of childish, I suppose.

    Now, having said that, I am in no position to tell anybody how to dress or behave within reason, but I don't really feel this kind of thing is going to help the cause.

    My friends were there, and said it was an excellent event. Would have liked to have gone myself.

    More power to them all. Great stuff!

    I was up in the mountains this weekend (as I always am). Weather has been very changeable, and way WAY colder than the city.

    1.5kg in a month? LOL. I can, and regularly do, do that in 2 days. 1.5kg for an obese person will be a tiny percentage of their overall body mass, so will most likely be gained and lost every single day as they eat / sweat / defecate.

    If it was knocking 10.5kg off, then it would be worth looking into, and not all for positive reasons. There is no miracle weight loss product; you only lose weight by upping your exercise, continually, and over a long period of time, combined with cutting down on sugars. It really isn't difficiult, or complicated. Just needs discipline, which is something most fat people lack (or they would have sorted themselves out already)

    Won't happen, because the people who become English teachers here, both native speakers and the Japanese people, are generally (GENERALLY) pretty low standard / unqualified / not interested on a professional level in the job.

    Posted in: What do you think about Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's proposal that universities must adopt the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for entrance exams. Abe says it is aimed at reforming the English teaching system in schools by shifting emphasis to verbal communications skills.

    It totally depends who you are friends with; befriend a load of Japanese people, and it will be the most boring online experience possible., whereas getting in with a load of funny people makes it great.

    It is a user based content site, and you need to filter the users you interact with for it to work well.

    Standard behaviour. I have worked in various educational institutes in Japan and in each one there has always been 1 or 2 guys who got caught doing this kind of thing. There are doubtless many many more doing this kind of thing and not being caught.

    Yeah, there are two 'Bianchi' brands; the original, ultra-awesome Italian racing brand that Marco Pantani rode for.

    Then there is the crap copy, which is just the name bought by an Asian company to churn out the Celeste coloured rubbish copies, that loads of middle aged Asian men who have no money want to buy. This second type are the ones that fall apart, not the originals.

    Total nonsense; I have recently pulled myself back from the brink of Type 2 Diabetes, through weeks and weeks of hard exercise, and cutting out carbs from white rice, bread, pasta, etc., and also stopping drinking sugary drinks, etc.

    It was not easy, but my blood work now checks out fine.

    This would not have been possible if I had stuck to a carb heavy diet.

    I base my eating on fruit high in fructose, rather than sucrose, chicken and pork which has a good amount of animal fats, vegetables, water and coffee.

    I have converted my energy sources from sugar to fat and am faster, lighter and more healthy because of it.

    Ignore this guy and his lies / rubbish, and stay away from white rice.

    Marai Hayashi; the police don't do their jobs properly with the cars / motorbikes, so they certainly will not with the bicycles.

    It has been 2 whole years, and basically nothing has happened.

    That is the same as if Liverpool had been wiped out and everyone in London just ignored it.

    They don't behave properly over here.

    LOL, Japan had never passed a second thought over doping before that whole Lance Armstrong mess.

    Now they have decided to make it a 'thing', complete with vans that nobody will use, and lots of fake smiling and bowing.

    Good words peachy871. I thoroughly agree.

    I am from the UK, and have seen first hand the joy and freedom of expression the right to civil partnership has brought, so anything that can benefit this is fine by me. Nothing to hate about it at all, unless one is of a narrow and unimaginative mind, paranoid and scared of the wonder of the world going on around them.

    I really do have difficulty understanding the problem some people have with homosexuality; a common theme of their complaint seems to be that it is immoral or corrupting. A very weird and paranoid stance to take. Perhaps that it all they can muster against something which is such a non-event as being gay or straight.

    I can't believe what I am reading in these comments! Are people still homophobic, even in 2013?!?!
