whatever this is about if its referring to pigs, well some must realize they are dangerous animals not easily slaughtered. I remember a pig that had to be put down, and over 10 bullets didnt penetrate it. I remember stories of how the owner of a pig farm coming home drunk and must have fallen into the pen because only his feet and shoes were left hanging over the right side of the fence. oh and this was Australia.

samantha, you mean you helped me define bigot some more-a so-called lady who lies and doesnt say what they mean, stuck-up and so on. And get over your saving the thousands with your nosey parker neighbour scam, youd say anything that would make you sound righteous, when your lying, as youve shown. There is a big difference between abuse and what was going on in this article. But I hope you enjoyed the chat.

no Samantha I wasnt on a moral high, I was being rude and calling you bigotted, but if you want, you can call my case morally on the high ground. Some could consider their parents focused on a pc rather than their 4yo distressing for the child. I agree it needs context, and the moral ground I want to state is that authorities-starting with nosey parker neighbours-are the ones who need to learn that children are the authority of the parents, and that all parents arent perfect, and that all parents have the right to learn how to parent their own way, and that may just include making a few mistakes along the way. Who needs Mrs Peebody breathing down your neck saying get it right, ridiculous and such?

maybe the word here should be perseverence. If that is what the parents knew growing up, then who are you all to judge. The guy was proud enough to film it, and obviously has no hangups about his own parents, or any longterm negative effects on his own child. What I cant understand is all these comments that would be-little a parents love of his child, as if you are all saints. Please! swimming? bowling? How much integrity do you take with that mouthful? About as deep as your purse pockets, Id bet. Or even the threatening stances; Id question your parenting and example of such attitude to your neighbours. Okay this might not be my way of handling my child, but I wouldnt want not one of you here, as a spokesperson for my child either. Whatever uproar this article is referring to, seems it is only pointing out all the bigots.

Who says Japan is unbuildable? Get off the trainline! The Tv has also recently been showinh young mothers who are afraid of having children because of information overload and too much pressure to be the perfect mother. I enjoyed yesterdays program when the regulars gave the guest speaker a hard time about her answers in how to deal with it. You know the specialist that talks with a permanent smile and one tone voice and uses so much hair spray that not one hair is out of place AND she uses a iron obviously cause she hasnt a wrinkle in her clothes, yk the perfect specialist on how to be a mother but is in to promoting one child so that you can achieve the perfectness without pressure style-yeah Kyushu is known for their strong women in the old J movies. They should have specialists who have been roughed up by a 2yo a 4yo a 6yo and a baby beforehand when they are filming,hmph! Pray that the baby burps up all over her too!

Difficult task to reconstruct it all-pointing fingersand belittling isnt going to help, as there is so many case by case situations. And heda I did realize that you were talking about supplies, sorry, but I was trying to point out that when you put supplies and construction in the same article like this does, obviously people dont realize that making a pair of gloves and a house is totally different. Im confused about finances remark though, maybe my sarcasm wasnt loud enough. Agreed, pound is expensive.

well obviously heda you know nothing about construction; most of the builders willing to go to Tohoku besides locals who already probably have suppliers, are older. What they are used to building with and how, and you want to have an education lesson in exotic goods while you are supposedly helping out those who are suffering, just doesnt seem to cut it. Maybe if you had a made the effort before such a situation, spent money on getting your product in the market here before hand you could have taken advantage of it-and dont forget the pound is oh so cheap! -not.

Yous all deserve to live in tin cans the way you talk. Let me take one guess the UK based company had contacts in Japan that werent construction. There is so much internal rivalry between foreigners here that no one wants to share their information and realize that everybody will get paid for their bit. And when it comes to construction especially. Why, because those who know nothing only ever say yak and money. They think that construction has a lot of money when they forget it's not like buying a car and then making money on your mark up, once you buy the goods you have to assemble it! And one guy is not going to get it happening very quickly, even though the instruction paper says 'put together in one day'. Honestly, I really get steaming reading this article and thread of comments. It is not anyone being unfair or harsh to those suffering. It is a mix of choices the people themselves make, the fact that somebody has to fork up cash for the products and the work done-I really cant see thousands of houses being built by volunteers. Tokyo companies can take on the work because they can afford rent in Sendai and the travel costs to the worksite, so they are the quickest and most prepared to handle the situation, because they are making enough in Tokyo because basically nobody wants to move out of Tokyo. Also for smaller companies where are your workers going to stay? No homes for the locals and that means there is also not much accomodation nearby for construction . And does that mean they move there, or do they have to travel back and forth from their origin. And if you havent been there, go and see the distances you have to travel. And also get a taste of how cold it is to work in them conditions. Local building companies are run off their feet, if you want a job, go there! Also it would be good for locals to learn a new trade, but their willingness needs to be ignited. And if you are aware of how little people want to go there to work-unless they have a comfortable place to come home to at night like Sendai which I agree is needed, after working OUTside- it could be said that the need may ignite it. But it would seem it is not happening fast enough for some foreign companies. They dont want to use Japanese construction, and it is important to know the line of work, because when you are co-ordinating different specialists-electricity, gas, water etc- you have to know how to talk with them all, know what they are used to, and how to then instruct to any foreign difference. It cant just be your english teacher! And that brings this ramble back to where I started that foreign rivalry within Japan holds everyone back and has these sort of stupid articles written.

Someone must be mental to even suggest that the UN listens to experts. Their name states it all. If you arent united with us we will find a way to bring you down. If it isnt mental, then it is neurological, and because straight jackets have gone out of fashion we will just make sure to give you a substance abuse. Crazys finding a way to call others crazy.

huh, you can still have an abortion if you want to right, I guess I just wouldnt want to be paying for it for somebody else, let it be their decision. It shouldnt be publicly funded-it almost seems like forced then.

As much as I like Englands citizens, I cant stand their leaders. Forever they have done nothing but bred pompous. They have never been as generous as they take. I bet most commonwealth countries wouldnt care if England states it cant defend them.
