It's true. All across the developed world more and more adults (thirties are not uncommon) are still living with their parents! I know numerous such people! With today's economic turmoil I'm tempted to move back myself!
Posted in: Now many young people are on short-term contracts. Their income is low, so they have to live with their parents.

Congratulations India! Even though China is still slightly ahead on their lunar mission they missed one essential thing: they did not drop a flag onto the moon's surface. So when India does it at the end of this mission India will go in down in history books as the forth nation to have their flag on the surface of the moon after Russia, USA and Japan. So China will symbolically be behind India!

Does hitchhiking still work in the 21st century?
If I were to pick up some stranger first thing I would do is negotiate the fuel fee (making sure I profit of course).

"Hainan's a pretty wild place and I've heard prostitution is rampant there."
Depends where you go. Any bustling city with lots of cash flowing around will inevitably attract sex workers and tourists. Especially when the formula is right: sun, sea, sand and sex!

It was quiet in the early days as the rednecks never dreamed of Obama even coming close. The reality is set before their eyes. This could set the country into turmoil and even war!

I never understood why they get "bonuses" in the first place. Okay, fair enough, if the executive did something brilliant the reward is justified. Simply executives get paid whatever happens. It's normal for them to get paid to step-down from their positions and even when the firm goes bust they also get paid - in six figure sums.
Posted in: What do you think of the amount of compensation in the form of salary, bonuses and stock options paid to top execs of multinational corporations?

Posted in: To attract 20 million tourists by 2020, we need to get Asian tourists, particularly Chinese people. But Japan does not have a system in place to accept them in terms of visa and language problems.

Personally, I do not find Ayumi Hamasaki attractive at all! She's too fake. I dread the day when all girls make her the role model.
"One girl says, “Gropers hesitate to approach girls who dress this sexy because it’s too aggressive for them. They tend to target more conservatively dressed girls.”"
Profound!
