  TPOJ,

  I'm not arguing with you here, just want to know what you mean by, "...that keeping convicted war criminals in a place of honor is wrong."

  There are no graves, burial grounds, or anything like that at Yasukuni... Just, ahem, "spirits"... Whose names are written in a book.

  Not…

  How can so many people be so confused and actually think that the government would use a tax, any tax, to benefit society? What planet are these people living on?

  It is the purpose of government, any govenment, to use any problem to expand the government and line their coiffers.…

  Horrid. So far nothing on this hot story:

  "Georgia may recall its 35 Olympic team members from the Beijing Games because they can't afford to have half the country's military forces abroad at a time of war"

  -and-

  "China up on medals already, USA down one tourist"

  Anyone who actually believes State-sponsored propaganda that "the bombs helped end the war" (meaning "education" taught in public schools that are used to glorify the State) they should inform themselves of the real rationale for dropping the bombs:

  I suggest this as a start: Hiroshima and Nagasaki: http://www.lewrockwell.com/raico/raico22.html

  Perhaps a bit presumptive for a woman to know what men want and/or admire, no? Same can be said for vice versa.

  Since I am a man, I think I have a tad bit better idea about what men think than most women would. I reckon it would be foolish…

  Yeah, when you dated the girl, you were both 20 and in love, she always said, "...that she loves you and money doesn't matter..." But you break up one day and meet her again, by chance, 15 years later,... Now, she's married to the president of a big company and…

  Whatever your gripes are, they miss the point. This is just another example of government interference in the free market screwing things up for everybody.

  The market should decide how many taxis there are and what the rates are, including service, etc., etc.,

  If the market were allowed to operate…

  This is too difficult a question to answer in short. If there are no US military bases in Japan, Japan will have to rearm. I think Japan should.

  In order for Japan to repent completely for past deeds and war crimes while returning to the fold as an equal partner…
