According to the Japanese news Ms. Kitagawa was living in a temporary facility for homeless people but was thrown out this week because she had overstayed. So she figured jail was better than starving to death I guess. It's really sad is all I can say.

Yeah, she shouldn't have done what she did but clearly she was desperate and probably somewhat mentally ill . . . she shouldn't have been put out on the streets in the first place. I feel bad for the victims but while I usually laugh at people who defend a…

Murdered by Japanese = hey, sh*t happens.

Kidnapped by North Koreans = a tragedy of epic proportions that must never, ever be forgotten or forgiven.

Wow, weirdest discussion ever. Japan is the reigning WBC champ, but it has never won gold in the Olympics. It also has never won the Baseball World Cup, which has been held since 1938. WBC stands for "World Baseball CLASSIC" not "World Baseball CHAMPIONSHIP" as some people seem to believe,…

I thought it was funny that in the Japanese news, it was reported that Irabu was "mushoku" (unemployed). He's not unemployed you idiots, he's rich biyatch!

From another JT article today:

A monkey appeared Wednesday morning at Tokyo’s busy Shibuya Station near the Tokyu Line, prompting the deployment of more than 30 police officers to catch it.

The monkey eluded the police, by the way. But heaven forbid people should bother the police with their petty…

From the article about the arrested Russian sumo wrestler:

The police are investigating why the 20-year-old wrestler started smoking marijuana.

Yeah, when they have to figure out extremely complicated and pressing issues like why a young man would smoke pot (not even relevant to his prosecution), clearly the Japanese public…

It's interesting how anti-Obama right wingers claim Jerome Corsi's book on Obama has to be taken as fact, while completely ignoring that the SAME FRICKING NUTCASE published statements that John McCain:

1) is rich on mob money. According to Corsi, Cindy McCain's father has close ties to organized crime and…

Interestingly, a lot of people accuse Koreans of whining about Japanese mistreatment but you have to admit the mean-spirited among the Japanese really know how to make people miserable when they think they can get away with it, even when it is one of their own. It does make one…

Thanks for the explanation guys. But I have the feeling that, maybe, the political religiousness isn't representative of the people religiousness. What's the percentage of atheists anyway?

The percentage of Americans who ACT like not merely atheists, but flat out blasphemers -- i.e., don't read the Bible, don't regularly attend…
