  Precisely. It's like saying I lent you my microwave and so I have an interest in making sure that you don't misuse it. So now you have to give me access to your house by arranging for me a room to live in. It isn't really in your best interest…

  Imagawa: With the way technology is progressing, and barring some catastrophic event that wipes out humanity, I would think that in 50 years the life expectancy for citizens of developed nations would easily top 100. Not only that, the centenarians 50 years from now would be much healthier and a…

  WillB: Think about this for one second: if it wasn't a rhetorical question, would I really want to go on the JT forums to ask the readers for information? Wouldn't I say, Google it myself? Would I not go to the official sources?

  Also, you haven't answered my question. I'm…

  Westurn: I think it's possible for Tokyo to be number 2 on the list and still have cheaper prices on foodstuff than New York. The report by Forbes includes in the cost of living rent, which as you pointed out is a lot higher in Tokyo than New York. If…

  USNinJapan2: It's basic probability. A 10% chance is hardly insignificant. Anyhow, your sample is way to small to draw any sort of meaningful conclusions from.

  By the way where did you get the 9/10 statistic? Has it happened to you 10 times? Or is it the combined experience of you…

  Invading or liberating - depends on one's point of view. What gives the US administration the right to waltz into Iraq because it feels that Saddam should be removed for the betterment of the Iraqi people? Anyhow, that was not the original goal was it? Fact of the matter is…
