Biginjapan,

Would enlighten me someone why is it arrogant that a food critique declares his or her right to say opinion about food?

That's not what the person said. Telling top chefs that if they don't appreciate Michelin and all it's trappings then they're not fit to cook food is…

the representative of Michelin guide Kyoto-Osaka made statements such as “those who refuse our evaluation should choose a different occupation”

Arrogant idiot.

the patron’s review is far more important than what the French think.

Actually, I've heard of French restaurateurs refusing the Michelin ratings too. This is after having them…

Only if he wants to.

But if he wants to show the world (or just Japan) what he'd do to Japan if it got

arrogant, cruel and brutal

Because the American couple already had several children. How do you think you'd feel if you had to hand over your much wanted first (and possibly last, if you're having fertility problems,) baby over to someone else? How can you be sure they'll love it when they didn't experience it's…

Woman? I thought the age of majority was about 20 or something here.

And was she one of the delinquents or what? Lack of info so far.

RIP anyway. I'm sure you'll be happier where you are if you were prepared to do that.

Twins are often like this. Even identical ones are often at each others throats to the point that the parents are scared one or both will do something irreparable like this. (Perhaps that should be especially identical ones?)

To us foreigners it makes no real difference whether the one stabbed…

Mitsubishi-Tokyo-UFJ Bank has developed its own response. Of this spring’s 530 new career-track hires, more than 100 have been deemed so lacking in basic manners that they’re being sent to do time as volunteers at welfare facilities. “This experience will help them understand what it means to be a member…

Pawatan, they know everyone gets all hot under the collar and posts about it. It's not like they actually care or anything, but they know many readers do.

I suspect they think it's already too late for most adult British women (and men) to bother trying to protect them.

Probably right too, in most cases. And with std's on the up and up it won't change in a hurry.
