I'm not going to debate something you or I know nothing about. It's a developing news story. I simply make the point that this is not a spontaneous action. In China, it never is.

Both were minors when they started in this sordid trade. I'm not sure how much free will was involved with this woman, when she started.

You still haven't explained what's newsworthy about a woman's breast size, or her body measurements.

I can't say who started the riot that you speak of. I wonder how can you make such a claim? Where you there as an eyewitness?

Or are you making your claims based on media reports that you have seen?

Don't believe everything you see in the media,…

OK, what exactly is news-worthy about a woman's breast size, or her body measurements. She was 17, according to the story, when she first exposed herself to cameras. That's a minor in many jurisdictions, including Japan.

No, it's not apples and oranges. It's the exploitation of women for whatever…

This didn't suddenly happen. East Turkistan once was an independent nation, for a short time. The Chinese now call the area Xinjiang province, and it has been gradually changed from a semi-autonomous region, to one where more and more Chinese are uprooting the lives of those whose land they…

I've been to the special economic zone in Subic Bay, in the Philippines. I also went there when it was a US base.

The transformation will impress even the most die-hard militarist.

I think it's good to see bilingual posters. English is a de facto second language in Japan, like it or not. It's not an official language, but that's probably more to do with politics (it would require lots of funding) than with anything else.

And throughout the world today, there…

It's an 80% cut of the 1990 levels. So you can still enjoy all of the above, but with the emission levels of the 1980's. It's 'doable'.

Check out 350.org for a reasonably argued position on this.

Isn't that a "metrosexual" in the west?
