Maehara should just get in the ring and win.Noda looks too rough in the face to be P.M. Only Maehara can save the DPJ from a general election defeat.

A few hundred hours of good old community service cleaning up the town would be humbling and give them time to reflect on their actions.Compared to a certain Bugs Bunny ranting on, espousing a suspect bias of all things....,these two boys were just plain dumb and didn't stop to think.

Have to place a kind of bidding cap on players going to the MLB. The Japanese teams are exhorting.Make it bidding rights + his salary. He ain't worth 80 mil just for bidding.

Thaksin was democratically elected by the people twice,namely the poor people.And the elites and the army didn't like that and trumped up charges to throw him out. And you know the army is plotting to overthrow the sister and take over the country again ,ONCE she paves the way for him to enter the country again, and throw him in jail.

One thing I have seen,for the most part, is that Japanese women who are married to foreigners know that it is tougher financially unless he gets a massive payand are willing to put in the effort. Whether it is thru love or putting eggs in that gaijin basket...I don't know.

One day Tiger Woods will be appreciated for his accomplishments on the course than for the gnashing of teeth by the masses for his behavior off it. Parity is cute,if you like socialism,but in sports,a dominant team or sportsperson commands a different level of respect and ratings.Golf is finding out the hard way.

Felt sad watching on tv,as I used to live in South East London as a kid and also watched it spread to my city Birmingham.But I spoke to a relative working in the welfare sector 2 weeks ago who said the unemployment rate for 25 and under is 40%.Definitely not conducive to disgruntled,frustrated and bored young people with little hope for their future.But this wanton behavior is unacceptable and they need to feel the consequences and repercussions of their actions,because it is wrong. But the English writing up on here talking about never going back as if this kind of behavior drove them from there, should remember they are lucky to be able to have a better life in Japan and in most cases not because of any discerning skill.

Chestnut must be pissed that Kobayashi ate 7 more hotdogs than he did in the same amount of time.

No he isn't. Just like Haye realized last Saturday in boxing,Kobi knew he couldn't beat Jaws.Eating 7 more when the pressure is off is a piece of....

Would have thought Nathan's was the bigger event and have Jaws pic not Kobi's in this story.

Intolerance and lack of understanding is so still rife in this world,particularly when it comes to the filthy lucre.

I can't wait to see Venus try to win tennis matches when she's 40.

At that age no one should be playing.
