I have been reading JT for the last year or so and I have never posted…

Excellent, but does not sound like a fun job to have.
You cannot stop global warming. It is natural.

JapanGal, more LOL! That was sick......but hilarious at the same time.
Last week, riding correctly on the LEFT side of the road here in Tokyo a bastard…

Christina, if MT were still PM there'd be a whole lotta folks knowin' order will be restored sooner than later... if her government ever let England devolve to this sorry state in the first place.
Please don't get ticked at me. You left England for what you felt are better shores anyway.

Do Brit police officers keep firearms on themselves and in their homes when off duty? If so, at least they'll be able to protect themselves and their loved ones.

It's impossible for the police to protect everyone. Tragically, many are learnin' what should be an obvious truth. Maybe folks are beginnin' to see they have an obligation to protect their own selves and their families rather than someone else on the other end of a phone... if they can even get through.

Rick 'Rasheed' Sanchez?
Even the most leftist major cable news network had to drop him after he wouldn't keep his 'Jew paranoia' off the air. That dude went totally off the tracks and they couldn't reason him out of it.
Those of us who are right of center wish him well in treatment.

You may kill a terrorist but for every civilian you kill, house you destroy, crop you ruin you are creating a potential enemy.
AdamB, so you still insist doin' nothin' is the best policy because you're basically concerned that whatever we do will have a worse impact.
The Allies do their best to minimize non-combatant kills and destruction. Those who you philosophically support through inaction do not. Please come down firmly on one team or the other.

AdamB, the US military and allied militaries (Australia, Germany, et al) did not lose in either Korea or Vietnam if that's what you're suggestin'.
You'e still talkin' 19th Century history and the Khaiber Pass. What do you suggest so you won't eventually be annihilated by vaporization or coughing up your lungs? An Afghani goatherd will someday be able to buy WMDs in a Pakistani bazaar if the West (and Japan) aren't tryin' to prevent it.

As fourteen or fifteen is the age where youngsters know more than their parents, this book should do very well among high school sophomores.

tmarie, you're judgin' these things through your first-world Western eyes.
The Japanese have a culture that's different than yours.
Your idea of what constitutes 'rights' to Japanese is moot (non-existent, not worth considering).

AdamB, let's take whackin' Bin laden for example...
There's already countless folks who want to slowly saw your and my heads off. They don't need an excuse or martyr to salivate at the thought. (Those heads also include Muslims of the Islamic non-Wahabbi sect.)
You indicated doin' nothin' is an option. I don't agree. Doin' nothin' only encourages more bad behavior. Bin Laden saw that when President Reagan pulled the Marines out of Lebanon followin' horrific suicide bombin' of their barracks. He saw any kind of weakness or compromise as an incentive to become more aggressive, and he's on video for sayin' exactly that... 'America is weak and will do nothing'. He said this as his reasonin' for pullin' 9-11 and gettin' away with it.
Well, he's assumed ocean temperature. Saddam's been hung. And the Taliban are still a problem, but now they're no longer the recognized government of Afghanistan.

American SNL has hugely unbalanced 'political satire'. What will that mean for the Japanese version.
On that note, I hope this Saturday the US SNL does something on the Obama-Queen toast that indicated he may've already been toasted. He later didn't even know what year it was when he signed the guest book. Wow. At least he was in the same century, if not the same decade.

Posted in: Why do tourists continue to stay away from Japan, despite the fact that there are many places of interest far away from the crisis-affected areas? What should Japanese tourism officials do to promote Japan as a safe destination?

I dunno. So many folks are terrified by medically significant inconsequential things. Take second-hand smoke for example...

AdamB, the 'war on terrorism' will never end no matter how or where it's fought.
Maybe you have some ideas on fighting it better, excludin' playin' a John Lennon tune ad infinitum.

A head honcho socialist who knows he deserves a $3,000/night bed and screw the rest of the proletariat.

NBC Weekend Update with Seth Myers reported on Saturday that Bin Laden was killed while holding a 'bunny'.
The news anchor said, "So what?" A poll showed Americans in the center and to the right of center agreed with this assessment.
Questions regarding this win are counter-productive unless you're rootin' for the other team. In that case, you can't help yourself and we umderstand... as usual.

Kinda reminds me of Saddam. 'Here I am!' 'I'm gonna kick your a** and I've got the stuff to take you out and more!'
'Suicide by cop' waitin' for an Allied fed-up itchy finger.

An 'intimate exchange' can be an 'intimate conversation' on a number of subjects. In this case, use your imagination.
It may be that the goods promised turned out to be not as advertised.
