    MG, this thread is hilarious! I can't think of anything better at the moment, so I'll go with 'thank you for your corporation' ;)

    Hammurabi? R-r-r-ight. I hope they find out innocent people among those who have been tortured. And see how righteous they may feel.

    tmarie: the comments before mine in this thread were generalizing, so I did the same. It's from personal experience though, the bit about J-women, not all of them but quite a few. But let's not focus on the negative, I agree w/your posts here.

    Bizarro: I am sorry, I thought you were someone else.

    About the word: I think it is unpleasant and innacurate to be called a word that implies that one is incomplete, b/c it is untrue since both my parents from their own backgrounds are not incomplete either. So there... sometimes I look more like one, sometimes more like the other, many times both-I'm both. That's it.

    one more thing, Bizarro, you're too conservative. It shows on your posts, even though they may be from 'different' posters. And quit on the stalking, will you, your word-parroting is not interesting. At all.

    most of the "halfu" kids are Korean/Chinese/insert other Asian country here.

    which most of the time one can't tell the difference, but the Chinese seem to be taller and speak Chinese. The same may go for Koreans. But what do I know?

    The J's are jealous of anyone more beautiful/better/different than themselves. The women are paranoid about this in particular, it seems. But what do I know?

    stop doing whatever they have been doing all this time (like others said - light clothes, drink water, etc - the obvious really) and for chrissakes, stop that uchimizu nonsense!! it doesn't get any cooler.

    oh its easy to see tall, small faced, slim, foreign language speakers nowadays, whether they're half (regardless of the 'mix'), Japanese, or other nationalities. As much as it is easy to see short/tall, broad faced, fat ignorant people anywhere in the world, regardless of their ethnic background/nationality.

    Personally, the best perfumes come in small bottles ;)

    SuperLib: I do think others see it more as a sensitivity issue, even if they don't really articulate it very well.

    that's thanks to a mercury-retrograde approaching and english not being the 1st language for many, incl myself.
    It was an interesting summary of some of jt's regulars. It sounds like what a lawyer or shrink would say. Cool heads should prevail.

    Is real estate (that corresponds with a 13 storey project) easy to come by in downtown Manhattan?

    even if that's the real reason, is that reason enough? so it means nothing what took place there 9 years ago? i wouldnt buy a place near a cemetery let alone a place where people died, much less a place where there was murder. but thats me.

    grafton at 02:16 AM JST - 16th August. I can’t understand why the Muslims involved with this project are so determined to get that building in that place. Would it not have been a little more respectful for them to have tried to understand the feelings of so many people and simply built the thing someplace else? If I wanted to construct a building and came up against this level of debate I would question why the client was being so adamant and failing getting an answer that made sense I would back out and not build. There isn’t a NEED to build on this site, so why create so much bad feeling? Fine, they have the right, but why force the issue even if you have the right, some other agenda perhaps?

    I think that was well put.

    It would be saving a life but Brazil could do better for its own people before meddling into another country's affairs.

    Apparenty Iran would also benefit from sending -all- their women elsewhere.

    MrDog, lol about your ER/CSI version of this.

    Frankly, I had similar thoughts to your previous posts when I first read the article.

    “making the ero-entertainment industry more wholesome” Translated as = thinking up a good front for his prostitution business and praying on the disabled, while taking a moral highground claiming that he's doing a "service".

    That statement took the cake. Meanwhile not much is being done about more serious matters.

    yasukuni: you said a lot and yet you didn't say anything. Point?

    I think that J-society needs a lot of help, not only the disabled. And if possible, on a voluntary basis. But then it has to be well structured/organized otherwise it'll be chaos. I just find the whole situation and frame of mind ironic.
