I&m a man, I never give my seat to gum chewing 20's or something girls typing things on her cell phone but (perhaps letting her stand will fill her head with something more than air to pop her gum)...

Usually I'm the only guy in the train offering my seat…

I'd say boys can get much better together than girls. In every communal living situations I've been (even living next doors to girls rooms), girls used to fight and have conflicts much more often than us, boys...(that is, no one cares about the toilet seat or the hair in the…

It says 70 cm carbon arrow - it is not kyudo, as those have around 100 cm. Nevertheless, a western style arrow is just as dangerous... in my opinion these are more dangerous than small fire arms. If the victim was able to extract it himself, it seems that the…

Is this western archery or kyudo? I believe the victim would be very very lucky to survive a full force strike by an arrow used for kyudo. I saw these penetrating 5-6 cm wood boards and going all the way through...Also, it is difficult to aim at close range with…

The toilets were old style (water latrines, with no high pressure evacuation) and one can imagine the smells aboard every time the air pressure changed (while climbing)...

Looking forward to fly in the new bird…

US is actually right on this one.

Japan is supposed to be a peace loving country, and surely should not do any business with a nuclear oriented Iran. Japan is really quick to complain about nuclear proliferation, how about also acting accordingly? I guess it is difficult to resist the…

browny1 - thank you.. I was not watching the news (just listening them) and I was really shocked when I heard Hitler's name and the disgusting comparison.

Stupid old dried-plume-balls Tanigaki-ojiisan... for your information, Hitler in his pre-election speeches was publicly describing how he would kill and burn all not…
