Again.
I never posted that the laws were good or that I agreed with nor that my experiences was a justification for them. So not sure where you get those views from that I supposedly have.
Time to get some work(meetings) done here, can't play games with you anymore.

Do you know the difference between IME & IMO? And thanks for the personal attack truly uncalled for, but speaks volumes about you.

Tmarie.
IME, many of the ladies that soon remarry are the ones that want to be "kept" as they don't work themselves and thus cannot support themselves and/or kids.
Many will jump ship for a better provider/higher earning husband.
Sad but I have known many ladies like that here, Love, etc don't play a role for them. Those were the same ladies that joined Hitachi, IBM, etc out of school to snag a department head, etc.

Wow, Citirgoup has worse security than Sony, etc.
But as posters here said Japan has the lowest and worst one and is 10yrs behind the USA, etc.

Reminds me of:
Alphaville - Big in Japan.
Deep Purple - Woman from Tokyo
Styx - Mr Roboto
etc, etc.
Not a new trend at all. ;)

All I got to say I seen dubbed movies from japanese to english and also from english to a variety of languages and they all made my toe-nails curl up.
Even more than the language barrier is the cultural one that exists even between countries that speak the same language.
And this cultural barrier is what the article is all about.

Worst is finding a rat with a bit missing after taking a bite.
Ditto with apples and worms, worst is finding half a worm. ;)

Of you think those same obsessions and lack of so called support don't exist in the west. I got some prime ocean property for you in the gobe desert for sale.
Check the attendance figures for shows in the USA, west(europe) and asia as they will dwarf the ones in Japan.
Few shows just finished in the US and more upcoming, check the figures. Not going to link as the figures are readily available.

There is an OLD saying:
If you want to feel young socialise with the young. If you want to feel old try keeping up.
You still doing fine and can hold your own?

Skep.
Yes, they can myself had a scare not too recently, on meds now and been free of symptoms for a few weeks.
But you need to know your own body, etc to notice the symptoms. Shortness of breath is a good one while climbing stairs, etc.
Once you get past 25/30 you need to take care. Sad but true, once you hit the 4-0 ......

Lets see most nuclear reactors in the world currently operating are oold(reaching or way past their expected life-time).
When did the USA(example), etc put a new power-plant online? Been decades but the power usage has grown by a large factor over the last 20-30 years.
Current plants can't supply it all and besides their age and problems plus been extended to go for another few decades beyond their planned life-expectancy.
So current plants are too old and brittle plus are expected to go for a few more decades, while electricity demands are sky-rocketing(for 3 decades now) because we want our PC's, Ipad's, Cars etc, charged and working 24/7.
Now ask me again why we need those plants when no-one is reducing their power usage but expect more and more from the tab in their wall.
Electric cars, Bikes, etc don't charge themselves out of the nothing, etc. The Electricity needs to come from somewhere and needs to be paid for. Home Solar panels, etc won't cover that demand by themselves alone.

LoveNot.
Does your definition also include people that like to dress up as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, etc characters? How about people that dress up for Halloween or as Super-heroes, etc?
I think you are on a slippery slope there with your argument.

G+ is still new and being set-up/configured but they will offer better content to FB(give it another 6 months).
No new Software product will be 100% from the word go, if they are they overshoot the goal by a few months/years.
I am on G+ and it works well for mine and other needs, not into extra features, etc I won't use.

ROFL, the rubbing in of salt was a measure to reduce bleeding and stave of infections.
Yeah, it stings and hurts but it was a way to help them get over the punishment and prevent secondary causes. Salt rubbed onto a Mosquito bite will also remove the pain and itching.
As for child-porn the sooner it gets stomped out I am happy, that is pre-teen Child-porn(ie pedophilia) and yes it was common in victorian times for girls aged 8-12 to service customers.
Many countries/counties/states do set the age of consent at age 13/14 so there it is legal.

Agree with sfjp330.
The museum is moving, now at times I do commissions on plastic models and often get asked to do the model of the A-Tower(only sold at the museum) and most of my clients are from the US military interestingly enough. Must have done that kit about 60 times so far.
As for the Kobe fire-bombing(just as bad as the Tokyo one) watch "Hotaru no Haka"(Grave/Tombstone of Fireflies, on the 15th(?) in the afternoon movie slot). Movie/Book is based on the writers real life experiences and one of the best of Takahata movies(got bundled with Totoro for release).
I can't watch that movie without a fresh box of tissues and I am jaded as I was in the military and seen many horrors.

Agree 100% with herefornow.
And we will see it happening in other fields as the impact will spread over time. We still haven't seen the peak of the true impact yet, watch out for rising trends in unemployment, rise in social welfare cases, etc, etc.

Not at my best this morning but great party last night. :p
If you live in a high-rise/mansion also fumigate the spaces where your meters are kept outside the apartment and similar spaces. Usually in the hallway behind some steel doors, very much temp controlled and the piping often allows them to sneak in as there is a gap between the Pipes and the concrete.
Ditto for aircon pipes/conducts.
