Acting immature? She's only 15. You're supposed to be immature, by definition. Well, I agree, she'll have a career on her own. Ganbatte!

Hmmm... Looks to me like a plan to introduce child labor into the surgical suite.

Well, finally an issue that Americans can get their minds around! This story will be around for weeks. Other issues like national debt, trade deficites, imploding banks, subprime loans are just to big for the average American mind.

On the surface of it, internationalization is working. Does anyone have similar statistics for other countries?

I wonder if it could actually balance with those obese lazy people standing on it. Well, they won't put up with standing anyway.

Let me just say that, as a USian, I agree with him on this point. But I would broaden this to say that it relates not only to ecology, but to everything else. Let me also emphasize, I do not agree with anything else he says.

Does anyone know his reason for refusing fingerprinting? Was he a zainichi-kankokujin? (I forgot what that is in English).

Let me revise what I said above. "I don't give a twit" is not very circumspect language. What I meant to say is that there is a diversity of opinion among foreigners (at least the ones I know) about fingerprinting. Most I know don't care about it.

With all due respect to Mr. Sok, if fingerprints are your biggest life problem, count yourself really blessed. I don't give a twit about it.

An "oiran", characterized by the very high geta, were prostitutes. Of course, this was before western influences gave the profession a bad name.
