What happened to the "can do" American attitude? all the news you get from America now points to so called American values going as pudgy as the waistlines of it's citizens. Now it's whining and blaming and passing the buck and people putting their hands outs expecting something for nothing. Too many people think Obama is the Messiah - the one who is going to save them without them having to left a finger. Snap out of it America!

Me myself and I - the 3 best companions. Travelling, going to the movies, shopping, relaxing in a park...great pastimes to do alone. Sometimes you dont want to be around anyone. I can fully understand this hitori sama phenom in the article.
Drinking alone in bars on the other hand is pretty sad.

If they worked for MBS. YTV, ABC et al, this would have been filmed and on one of the countless inane variety shows and everyone watching would have laughed loudly and they would be comic heroes.

They can in self defense if they somalis pirates attack first, then the gloves can come off. I dont think the somails would be that brave or suicidal.

Limbaugh made a career out of offending people. No one should be shocked when Russ opens his mouth, Kennedy probably took it with a grain of salt.

58 posts and no one has spotted the obvious - look at the car in the picture that the police are investigating: it is a late model Toyota Celsior - black with tinted windows. That car is very popular among a certain group in Japan and that certain group has a propensity for a bit of biffo, among other things!

Must be a Kanto thing, never heard a single cell phone in a 100+ movies down in the heartland of Honshu.
One minor thing that irks me is people who don't turn off the keytone, beep beep beep everytime they tap a a key! that has to be the most retarded feature that comes standard on phones. It should be off by default not vice versa.

Life after death? like TJrandom said: it's called children and passing on your genes or it's called fame where your memory lives on in the minds of other. Believing in self aware existential life on this plane or another one is human arrogance. Life after death is a pastime for the insecure to console and comfort themselves with the hope that there is something else while alive. There is no 'something else' it's a case of WYSIWYG.
