@Molenir
Name one rich person this happened to? I can name a dozen people that Molenir said "who aren't making money, who are either unemployed, or making minimum wages" who did lose everything because of "the same folks receiving bonuses were the same ones going to Congress in their private jets asking for bailouts." Once again you are living in La La Land. You must work for JT to say incorrect things to stir up debate.

What happened to the old ladies they showed pictures of last year? It also looks a little boring and demeaning for the ladies. I guess the after parties will make up for it.

If I am correct the same companies who borrowed money didn't have to pay interest on the money they borrowed. This was under the assumption they would start lending to the consumers and stimulate the economy. They haven't done any of that some companies like Credit card lenders raised their rates. They basically horded all this money then stated record profits this year. Profits in the same amounts as the money they borrowed from the government. That means the managers of these companies met the terms of their contracts which entitle them to a bonus this year. They inflated their books to look good for investors and get bonuses while screwing the public.
I think this tax is just a way of making them pay interest on the money they borrowed. They screwed the public twice. First when they created this mess and second when they came up with a scheme to get out of it. If they didn't borrow then they shouldn't have to pay.
If it is required for all then I say connect it to lending.

She and many others are talented even if they are not mentioned in a Bob Dylan song.

Basically, they don't know what to do at the beginning and waits until someone else takes the lead. I also believe they truly don't care.

I think they get a free poster, apron and bed sheet of the girl in the picture with every purchase.

Maybe it was his huge collection of Manga,love for Disney products and no ambitions for the future that did it.

How many of the posters who made cooments here are White?

All of you. It not surprising you don't recognize racism against any other ethnicity. I don't think the movie was meant to have a racism undertone but it doesn't mean it is not there.

This is a personal challenge to Japan's national pride. Japan will top it. They probably have several prototypes waiting in storage. They just haven't decided which model to debut first. Japan's dolls will sex you up, sing and clean your ears. The US

@nandakandamanda
Just cause your friends have not experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have Black friends in the US who have never experienced racism. Does that mean that Blacks do not experience racism in the US and other countries? The same kind of attacks reported in this article are also being reported in the countries I mentioned against the smaller Muslim population. I can name other countries where even worst attacks have taking place. Do really believe Muslims are not at all being persecuted in Christian countries?
You are seeing only what you want to see.

There are also goes who do the same thing to take naughty photos and videos. If you don't want to be seen as a pervert while crossdressing then go to stores and restaurants that have only one individual toilet that everyone shares. Was my last statement an oxymoron?
