    That means a whopping 66.3% feel work is more important than family. (based on about 1600 people.) Or does it?

    Those who said priority is placed on work dropped 5.5 points to 22.2%

    33 plus 22 is 55% What happened to the other 45%? Is their priority on other things?…

    I think if they hosed the concrete down the temperature would also go down, but dribbling the little bit of water they seem to be doing in the picture won't affect the temperature much nor the humidity. It's symbolic, if nothing else. And a good excuse for a Party! Bring…

    Modeditors,

    The city of Hiroshima has urged seven nuclear-armed nations and North Korea to attend the ceremony since 1998, of which Russia, India and Pakistan have attended it.

    Technically, I think the final word could be eliminated and the sentence would still be valid. No?

    I fear that the average Taro won't be able to argue with the eldest judge on the jury but I think the average Hanako (especially of the housewife variety) will be able to argue with a judge. When she does, though, I'm sure the judge will suck his teeth, nod…

    Good_lorb, Thanks for the added information. By 'awash' I meant wheat-producing - America, Australia, and Canada - while their storage levels are down - are still able to grow more wheat more cheaply than Japan because of economies of scale and availability of land for farming.

    Just changing the die in your carpet does not make you eco-friendly. Are they going to use recycled paper in their catalog? Recycled paper in their posters? What else are they doing besides talking about it?

    kimigano,

    The last thing Japan needs is another citizen, that's for sure. Especially one that isn't 'pure' Yamato. And if you wish, you can always have what is called a 'blood test' to check for paternity. Oh, wait. You live in Japan. I'll explain more slowly. A 'blood test' is…
