oldsanno - A shockingly naive, yet predictable, comment from someone obviously not familiar with the holocaust, sneak attacks, Bataan Deathmarch, Rape of Nanking etc. If you are Japanese, Id implore you to read a history book. If you are a self-hating western Japanophile looking to score points....pathetic.

The mess in Fukushima alone has doomed (thankfully) Ishihara's ego trip.

Raping your underage student ok in Japan - Gotcha.

It's pretty shocking to see the differences in how Germany and Japan have schooled the younger generations about the war. Germans are educated about their country's guilt so that it won't happen again. Japanese textbooks are so ambiguous that I've been told by more than one young Japanese they thought they fought on the side of the Americans against Hitler!

Canucker, I haven't imposed my "personal morality" on anything. The only thing I did impose was my personal experience in this country as to the Old Boys Network in Judo circles and their childish behavior around women. Then I used my power of deduction knowing that this scumbag made sure a compliant 19 year-old (a student in his charge, mind you) got nicely drunk. Its called putting two and two together.

Didn't see the fight, but for Daiki to have lost in Osaka one of two things must have happened. Either he got his ass kicked beyong question or the yakuza money never changed hands.

pretty simple. The scumbag got her drunk and forced himself on her. No ifs, ands, or buts needed. There seem to be a few nervous posters on this thread trying to excuse what he did with the usual semantics which is sad to see.

Scrote - I'm an excellent driver and not once been involved in an accident. Naruhodo and I were simply pointing out your very flawed theory.

Way to go Japan. 9 months ago they were showered with International goodwill and an outpouring of donations from around the world. Thats largely gone now thanks to the same old tired men (and I use that term loosely) who run this country.

Tigerstokyodome - also worth mentioning Blatter and FIFA denied England the world cup mostly because the British press, unlike their continental counterparts, have been the only ones exposing the corruption going on in FIFA.

I just knew someone would make a knee-jerk comment like this. Where was your sense of racial injustice the dozen times I called George W. Bush a moron? If you think this guy is a Rhodes Scholar, check out Cain's understanding (or lack of) of Libya;

I'm gonna miss him. Maybe the funniest thing about Cain was that for a few months he forced the racist right-wing nutjobs to claim that he was great.

I guess he finally caught hell from the wife. He accomplished what he wanted, however. His name is now a "brand" and he'll cash in as much as possible just like the other moron, Palin. Neither one was serious about the presidency because they both knew they didn't have the intellect.

sfjpp330 - I'm going to pretend you DIDN'T write Michael Jackson and "Rock" in the same sentence.
Genesis - crappy product of the lost decade that was the 80's.
Crosby Stills Nash and Young - Nice group but only Young rocked.
Eagles - A good rock group should not induce comas if listened to for 30 consecutive minutes
Journey - wussified 80's power ballads are as stomach churning and passe as acid-washed jeans.
