Although there are no regulations

there's the problem. They can strap a couple strings to a coffee filter and claim anything they want, and people will buy them. Even the mask material cuts transmission 100%, they still wouldn't work. Science has known for years that stuff like this is transmitted…

I'm not that tuned into J-politics, but is there no one on the horizon that offers anything other than the same old same old from…

It all started back in the seventies when Ronald and his buddies invaded the chrysanthemum island.(Source: Fast Food Nation) Japan, AND the rest of developed world is, and will continue to get fatter and fatter.

This is nothing new. Many serial killers have hoardes of female fans. Even Richard Ramirez, the night stalked in Cali, was married while on death row. Par for the course. Some women like killers, pure and simple.
