If the young go out and buy cars, the traffic jams will return.
Some of the worst traffic jams I've experienced have been in the country.
Cutting the highway tolls as planned should bring back a few drivers.

My 4-year-old took off his seat belt yesterday. I stopped the car immediately and made sure he put it back on. Aren't drivers in this country shown videos of people being thrown from cars? I wouldn't dream of driving without seatbelts.
We drove through the thick snow which fell in Nogata, Fukuoka yesterday. Most everyone was driving slowly and carefully, but we still witnessed the aftermath of two crashes.

The question should be, "What makes a person monogamous?"

That's definitely one moral. I suppose as an elementary school teacher, she didn't want her barf to land somewhere visible to passersby.
Another moral would be: alcohol is the root of all evil.

Old saying: A monogamous man is like a bear on a bicycle. It can be done, but the bear would much rather be running around in the forest.

I have a fence around my house. Why can't JR put up fences with gates on their platforms? The gates would only open when a train stops. Problem solved.

If you are watching a movie and someone gives their number, it's always "555-something". In other words, a fictitious phone number. For example, in Ghostbusters, the number was 555-2368. The 2368 portion was famous from old television commercials.
Kameda never worked a day in his life? How did he become WBA light flyweight champ?
Looking forward to seeing the movie. I wonder if Mark Wahlberg can outdo his performance in The Departed?

Thanks for that link. I had been tracking Elan for the past few years. I stopped about a year ago. I never knew Tysabri could be used for Crohn's. Thought it was just for MS. Awesome drug.

Not just kids, everyone. I wish they were never invented. Now, I have to pay 3,000 yen a month for the toy just because my wife insists that we need it.

You don't know Vegas very well, do you? It's ten times more liberal than any other city in the U.S. You can anything you want anytime. Everyone is welcome. There are probably fewer racists there than anywhere in the world. Everyone just wants to party.

Here is part of the Juice's moronic five-minute plea for leniency: Simpson said. "Mike Gilbert tried to set me up on a porn video - tricked me into a room with hidden cameras...."

Congratulations to Mr. Goldman. Hope the revenge is sweet.

Female judges give the stiffest sentences. Check out the judges in Texas death row sentences. It's the women who say, "Hang 'em high".

Cleo: Which population: the driving population or the total population? A logical person would assume that a greater percentage of the population drives in the U.S. I'm not so sure you are comparing fairly. Not only are there far more drivers in the U.S. per capita, they drive much greater distances over the course of a year. What we need to compare is a ratio such as accidents:driving occurrences to determine which country drives more safely.
I will give the Japanese this: they have stunning depth perception. It must be from driving and living in narrow places for so long along with their incredibly flat faces.
Is anyone recording the number of close calls? I have, much like "Disillusioned wrote" at least 1-3 close calls a day. I would guess I had 1-3 a year in the U.S. I hate hate hate driving in Japan. Driving in the U.S. on a recent trip was such a pleasure made more so by years of infuriation from driving in Japan. You can see why so many continue to drive frequently there. Take 1-80 E from San Francisco to Reno and you'll know why.
