    Azrael: I smoked pot daily for near 10 years, and am in perfect health, with a child on the way. Pot is a determent to success, but is in no way lethal, and in no way worse than alcohol or tobacco.

    Separating marijuana and all other illegal drugs is a…

    The general population is not so much! The protests you see in the news (minus a few special occasions) are mainland Japanese that fly down to protest because they are anti-American anything.

    On a side note, when it comes to Okinawans, they dislike mainland Japanese more than they dislike Americans.…

    The only people who are gonna be hurt from this are the local shops.

    Absolutely untrue. The economy around the bases is poor. When the bases disappear, the land is used by the locals and the economy thrives (like Shintoshin, which was a base 20 years ago, and is now…

    Hopefully the memories of the horrors of the A-bombings will keep the Japanese from ever visiting another reign of brutality and terror on their Asian neighbors the way they did in the 1930s and 1940s.

    So then you're in favor of the annual remembrance then?

    But it was worse than either the Hiroshima or the Nagasaki bombing. Sad that some people can't recognize that.

    Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a single bomb each. Dresden or Tokyo or other cities? Obviously no. The usage of the nuclear bomb was a unique thing for civilization. *Unique for…

    As should the fire-bombing of Tokyo which killed and maimed even more people, and the attack on Pearl Harbor which started it all.

    It's not that those weren't major events, but to compare aerial bombings to the use of nuclear weapons... well it shows that you are obsessed with…

    Once a year, we're reminded of the colossal damage that nuclear weapons can cause. It doesn't have to taken as a political issue, it's unfortunate when people insist on making it a Japanese or American thing. Can't it be remembered as one of the most tragic, horrific events of the…

    President Obama: Open your market to American rice and gas guzzlers or face trade sanctions!" President McCain: No need to thank us for liberating North Korea and resolving the abductions of your people - our pleasure. The choice is clear!

    Obama threatens trade sanctions? Since when. McCain will liberate North…

    Pelosi can be both wrong and right at the same time. Bush is a total failure. And in the future, it will be said, "he was a total failure." Doesn't mean she'll be given credit for a job well done. Of course, anyone working in American politics today are doing…

    I've mostly forgotten season II of Heroes, but didn't Tamura speak only Japanese in all her roles? She may have not been hired for English speaking roles, but she did fine in her role as a medieval Japanese person on Heroes. For the record, I doubt anyone on that show…
