chardk1 Most of the fighting like this was done between the Japanese themselves in the Muromachi and early Edo Periods, and at the end of Edo to protect Japan against the Western barbarians who were threatening to do to Japan what they had done to China.

I was being sarcastic,…

I'm surprised the Koreans and Chinese didn't protest this blatant glorification of period Japanese aggression.

I guess that's why all those men's magazines with the full-color spreads on manners sell so well.

Must be flattering to Kazue Fukuishi and Norika Fujiwara to hear Yu Yamada is Uniqlo's "perfect" woman. What were they, just in the general vicinity of a CM shoot?

Eh, whatever. I'm tired of stumping for (against?) people who insist on shooting themselves in the foot with the guns they love so dearly.

Hard to justify getting the XBox 360 over the PS3 if you can have both, if only because the PS3 is a fully functional Blu-Ray player at a killer price. Microsoft blew it by going with HD-DVD.
