sonnoujoui: So is it fat girls in general that you don't like looking at or Western girls? If it's fat girls then why not just say that because there are plenty of them here, they've apparently just missed your discerning eyes.

I don't think skimpy equals sexy when the girls / women in question 1) clomp around like cows because they can't or won't walk properly in their shoes or 2) when the girls / women in question are constantly fussing; touching their hair obsessively, doing their make-up, looking in every…

She's pretty but - eat please! A tofu burger, bean salad, something. Those arms look like pins and her shoulders are non-existent. It's good that she's not overweight but a little more bulk and muscle wouldn't do anything to deter from her looks, in fact they would help them and…

The question those saying it should be illegal need to ask themselves is - why? Making it illegal has done nothing to prevent it from being easily obtained and yes, in Japan too. The whole "war on drugs" is a ridiculous, expensive fraud and people buy into it hook, line…

The Geography of Thought : How Asians and Westerners Think Differently...and Why by Richard Nisbett 2993 - Not a fantastic book but this whole thing has been done already.

Smythe: How bizarre. The eyes of Asian women are beautiful. Perhaps, but there are more than a 1/2 a billion of…

bebert: The librarian look works well for professional women.

Yes, but a bit ironic considering that she told the an Alaskan librarian she could support censorship. Sometimes it's not just lenses that need to be refocused.

Japanese taxpayers are not only paying to feed and house the foreign criminals, but as an added extra, are even paying them wages for the work they perform in prison. In most countries, the article asserts, this would be unthinkable.

This kind of crime isn't new and this is why I always lock my bag to my bicycle while I'm riding. I loop the plastic coated chain through the bag handles and then the handlebars. You can also get a special net to go over your basket at any bicycle…

Oh! And shall we get into her "Alaska First" ideas? This is fun! Any other great achievements of hers we can talk about?

"Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which since the 1970s has been…
