  How many ways can you say "genetically modified"? GM, "genetic recombination," "value-added," and "re-engineered."

  Just a quick question to LFRAgain, nadakandamanda, and escape artist. Since I know nothing about genetically modified foods, what are the bad points about it?

  How far will it go? As far as the consumer allows it. If airlines make a few extra million charging for baggage handling, but lose a few million with fewer fliers, airlines might re-think the baggage deal. As long as the customers put up with it, it will continue and…

  If Cameron lived in Tokyo for three months 20 years ago, do you think Japanese reporters still say "Nihongo wa jozu desu ne" when she says "Hai" to a question?

  Japan is 'mid-Pacific,' neither West nor East. On some topics, the Japanese government toes the 'US' line (some might say West), on others, they attempt to lead the East, but are not accepted as 'leaders' by other 'East' countries.

  Is there any evidence for this and what were the "conditions"?

  The only real condition Japan asked for was the safety of the emperor.

  Other 'conditions' were for the war to 'end quickly' and added that the Japanese would fight to the death if the US didn't agree to these…

  I wonder if Aso would be offended if someone were to say "LDP" and then spit. He seems to think that one sentence he utters has no connection with the next sentence. (He might be right.)

  "The DPJ won a sweeping victory in last year’s upper house election. But does…
