True, ethnicity is not the major factor in physical traits. DNA is a major factor though. Time and again, we hear of athletes who were "blessed with god-given traits". They even thank the Lord for them. The elite athletes are the ones who then take those traits and work their asses off to use their traits to their fullest. After all, I've known athletes who work their tails off training, but can never ever be a Lebron James. I doubt that Lebron James works harder than everyone else. Hard work itself doesn't always equate to success. You still need DNA and a little bit of luck.
I guess some people like to make an excuse that ethnicity is the reason. For example,I feel that more white males would do better and can do better in speed events like the 100 m race, if they trained themselves properly, but unfortunately they don't. Even in table tennis, more Caucasians and blacks would do better in it than Asians, but they just don't train themselves properly for the sport. I guess in tennis too, like Michael Chang once said, more Asian males would play better in tennis, if they had the proper training and coaching.

“I don’t mean this in a bad way,” Murray said. “The only difference is the height. For me, I can get more on my serve because of my height. That’s of benefit to me.”
Huh?

I saw the Giants-49ers game on NHK-BS1 and it was fantastic. Those two teams' defenses were monster. During the ending of the fourth quarter, both teams forced stop after stop after stop and it seemed like no one could score. And that Williams strip of Kyle WIlliams in overtime was the difference. It seems like the Giants defense and special teams have the skills of going after the ball and causing turnovers. Pass rushers like Pierre-Paul, Osi, Tuck, and Kiwanuka put constant pressure on Smith the entire game. I think he only completed something like 12 passes the entire game. With the high-powered offense of the Patriots going against that monstrous front 7 of the Giants, this Superbowl rematch should be a good one.

Great going Kei! The next match against Murray will be a tough one. Murray is pretty good at placing his shots where he wants to. However, Kei shouldn't have any pressure at all since he's basically playing with house money and has gone farther than anyone has expected him to.

Digital textbooks in schools sounds like a good idea, provided these iPads are made affordable for even low-income families and schools allow students to recharge their iPads in the classroom. After all, you never know when a kid will forget to charge theirs at home, or allow their iPad to be damaged in some way or another. Maybe if they made a G-shock version of the iPad ...

YuriOtani: You make no sense whatsoever. First, you downplay guns in a previous post by writing that "a firearm is simply a tool". Then you say that "baseball bats" are "weapons"? Give me a break. A bat, or golf club are sports equipment. They were made to play sports with. A gun was made to hurt people (or animals) with. Yes, a bat could be used to hurt people too but that's not what it was made for. If we went down that slippery slope of yours, then you could say just about any object in the world could be used to hurt people with, if someone had the intent to do so. You could hurt someone with a paper clip, a razor, a ballpoint pen, a trophy, rat poison, a CD, etc. if you really wanted to. Yet, why do you think more people try to kill themselves using a gun, rather than a baseball bat?

It's just too bad that there aren't enough responsible gun owners like Ms. McKinley who use their weapons properly. Too many times have there been where people have inflicted injuries by guns on either themselves or innocent bystanders. Good on this woman for handling a gun in the right way. This is why this made the news. I'm sure she is also the type who stores her guns properly, and not like so many others who allow kids who find their parents' guns and kill themselves or their siblings accidentally.

True, but there isn't a elite soccer player I've seen that isn't arrogant to a point. Whether it be Beckham, Kaka, Cristian Renaldo, etc., they are all arrogant and it shows. I guess once you get to be that good, you start thinking that you are good and become so confident in your skills. The only ones who aren't arrogant are those who play second-fiddle to the star players.

YuriOtani: No, a screwdriver is a tool. Even a stupid person is what is known as a "tool". On the other hand, a firearm is a "weapon". Thus it requires a lot more care and responsibility when handling one. This woman made the news because unlike most people, she took the proper procedures in handling and using her weapon in the right way and making sure she did (although it would've been better to shout that she had a gun and will shoot, before shooting, as police do). She didn't end up shooting herself, her baby, or innocent bystanders as has happened in stories I've heard. She also probably had her gun locked up properly so that others wouldn't get at her gun and use it improperly, like so many self-inflicted injuries and deaths by guns. Yet, it doesn't justify people carrying guns on the street, or going out of their way to own semi-automatics.

Hategobo: Exactly. Much better than that American KFC crap that is served around the world. Heck, it's even better than dry turkey. The Takashimaya I went to had some really delicious Chicken Kiev which was sooo juicy and tender with just enough garlic butter so that it didn't overpower the natural taste of the chicken itself. It went well with the scrumptious seafood pasta salad that they also sold there.

Turkey itself is just too dry and not tasty. To me, it's always best in either a nice sandwich, or in turkey chowder.

I don't really like the KFC chicken at Christmas. I much rather have the grilled chicken they sell in the basement department stores like Takashimaya and Sogo. Very delicious and cooked on a grill right in front of your eyes. They also had a breaded chicken which was filled with a nice garlic butter pate with chives in the middle which simply oozed out its juices once you cut it open. Extremely delicious.

Taste in food is like taste in beauty and music; it's all in the eye (or ear or mouth) of the beholder. What one person thinks is tasty, there will undoubtedly be another who does not. Heck, I know people back home in America who swear grits is the bomb, and that chicken gizzards is a treat to behold. There is no food in the world that is perfect, but at least we should have the freedom to enjoy what we want. To say that one food is better than another is simply one person's opinion; nothing more and nothing less. After all, everyone's taste buds are different and will thus react differently to various tastes.

Alphaape: That is so true. The fact that there are just more than enough loonies running around in the U.S. makes for potentially hazardous situations when they get their hands on a gun. Of course, it doesn't help that the culture of gun violence that is continuously perpetrated through entertainment seems to glorify the ownership of a gun.
As you've said, mass stabbings can happen in Japan, and IMO wouldn't happen as often in America, due to culture differences. In the U.S., from the time we're little, we're naturally taught to lock our doors, be always aware while walking the street, never make yourself look like a potential target of a crime, never walk alone at night, etc. Thus, if someone were to brandish a knife in a crowded New York street, more people would likely be ready to run away, or take that perpetrator down. In Japan, people are not aware of such things, and thus wouldn't know how to act. They're too docile and just grew up with the fact that it's quite natural to not always lock your doors or walk on the street at night in Japan. It's like attacking wolves (Americans) with a knife versus sheep (Japanese) with a knife; two totally different situations.

NickyWashida: As if telling them would make a difference. People are told all the time not to go swimming in the ocean during a hurricane in the U.S., but they still do it. After the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11 people were told by the government not to hoard water, but they still did it.
Many of my friends heard the news reports about how this typhoon was going to be a big one, days before it arrived, and thus took necessary precautions. Taking one or two days off from work won't kill you. I still have my job, and so do all my friends who took off. If you happen to work for a boss that is so anal that they would fire you for missing one day of work because of a typhoon, then it is a sign that that company is not a pleasant one to work for and not worth your time.

Why? I stayed home, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that. Do you need someone to remind you to wipe yourself after you use the toilet? Do you need to be told to look both ways before crossing the street? It's times like these that I really wish more people would simply use their own common sense. Besides, even if the government ordered people to stay home, I'm pretty sure a lot of people won't even listen to it. Official orders like that won't really do a lot of good. How many times do we hear of people drowning even though they've been warned time and time again not to go swimming during a hurricane?

That's so true. Unfortunately, most Americans support the death penalty and want to see someone punished to the maximum, even though it may possibly be the wrong person.

Terrible outcome. Especially since there have been sincere doubts as to his guilt. Seven out of the nine witnesses have already recanted their testimony and some have said they were coerced by police to testify against him. Seems to me the Supreme Court simply wanted to be rid of this "problem" as soon as possible.

That's right, tmarie. But things wouldn't only change here in Japan, but also in other parts of the world, such as the U.S., where so many bosses work you to the bone and make you face gridlock traffic in places like L.A. even when you shouldn't be going to work.
