Well I dunno where to start, there is really a lot to tackle in this article besides that it is just another business, alongside a million others the same. But I think in the first paragragh, where it says, a home away from home, is where Id zone in on. This whole pharsing is propangda at it's extreme. There is no such thing as a home, away from home. What each home defines home as can be different, global views if you please, but even still, there is not and never can be, a home away from home. Besides that this lady looks still rather young, so maybe taking some advice from herself, that it takes a lifetime (actually some more propangada forya!) to be a educator, and maybe stepping back on the confidence and being so young, gaining some more lifetime experiences in children, rather trhan education and recycling, would be my advice.

fish water wont need heating over summer, thatll save ya some too, & perhaps men feel like they ought to do business with those that do business with them? You know make the money go round , you scartch my back and Ill scratch yours kinda-thinking. Women can be so stingy. Having said that growing up in a caravan was very conservative, Id suggest that, if you really want world economics to dive.

I didnt like the way the Japanese media presented it-too much damning Diana, not enough talk about the Commonwealth. Otherwise, a wedding always brings tears...

well lets see there was also a suicide, so for every suicide-and go on pull numbers out-add a murder and your logic doesnt even matter,fds. Maybe all the hunters have everybody scared shatless. Check out hunting grounds while your at it virtual.

If the employee wanted to kill the boss he didnt need a gun. I think unconversational bosses, and especially of similar age, should learn to talk. How is it possible to solve company problems, if the boss doesnt include all the workers and their knowledge of the work in business; and just enjoys the boss position and the economic advantage it can pull on any of it's employees. Tepco come to mind, anyone!

Maybe they dont have anymore builders? So they could raise some sort of holding area until papers were thoroughly investigated and processed?

What! Is Italy crazy? It has been just over 2 months and they can process so many papers?? Sure must have fast typers-or a lot of people who like sitting around scribing, and getting paid for it!Isnt there anyone growing tomatoes and olives there anymore.

While Im not that familiar with France or Moslem rules etc. I think the idea that breed like rabbits is rather a personal opinion. How do rabbits reproduce, and how is that in anyway related to this topic here now? I cant see why a law stating that veils ought to be removed when ordered by an official isnt a lot more democratic than a total ban. I do sympathize with a land where their system can be abused by what you would term gypsies, but that isnt the sole definition of gypsie either now is it. And nor are we talking about Rome.

No Zenny snobs are everywhere. My grandmother reminded me recently when arriving in Australia from Germany how the term kraut was always used. The migrating can be understood to be necessary at times, but imo it has gone too far of recent, and integration is also necessary too,which doesnt happen a lot, nor is it easy. And this issue is one of gender too. Somebody said that it is to suffer to wear a veil. Obviously that is a personal choice-when there is demos there is obviously some who dont deign it as suffering. Resolving this with the correct words will not happen. It is beyond that.

While I,m against a lot of the Moslems for seeking residence out of their initial country, I can see the point that making a piece of clothing against the law is rather ridiculous. State governing your dressware is not a good thing. This law in France indicated to me in a lot of ways, that the Moslems have gone too far with their asylum seeking ways, and France has had no choice but to make this silly rule. Australians talking about hoods are just snobs and that sort of thinking is probably where a lot of the problem started in the first place eh

of course I didnt mean anybody or group individually, but from here in Japan, being optimistic here, can at times on a local scale seem as I said. that's why I said sorry, because on an international scale I spose the help is appreciated, but locally, cant help but see the brownie points registering more than the charity....in case you didnt get what I meant.

Oh well leave if you have to....cnc I like what youre saying except the part that has nothing to do with this crisis, about Japan not having enough land. There is plenty of land, but it is very controlled-just ask those up north and seeking areas to build their temporary accomodation. Prefectural govt are being strict! At a time like this, can you believe it.?!? And level land zoned as farming, and I bet there is tonnes not being used, doesnt seem being offered up charitably. Mountainsides that sit there that could be levelled at parts, are not considered either....Land talk, is THE talk in construction....

The sun sets really late, so saying to be home before dark, means you intend to work longer, starting earlier, and heading home about 8pm. Daylight saving has little meaning what so ever--there's just a lot of people who dont want lifestyles to get a taste of life without an air-conditioner. The makeup industry will take a hit unless they can invent makeup that doesnt run when you sweat! I am sooooo looking forward to summer-bring it on; HOT HUMID and SWEATING!

The information hasnt changed, only the level grading, and good on Japan showing the world that even a level seven is quite controllable, and really not as scary as foreign media and nationals are making it out to be.

Id like to see reports about the government subsidising personal solar systems for electricity, so that at these economic hard times they would be affordable; instead of all the stupid talk about turning airconditioners from 26 to 28 degrees-like seriously how much difference would that make?! And I guess rebuilding strategies, and personal efforts made from the society to change their lifestyle and not just relying on government and big companies to pave the way out, in light of the recent events. Id also like to see more reports on those willing to move and change from the more devastated areas, rather than the average, "this is where we live and want to stay". And in contrast, those in the cities wanting to move out and try inaka kurashi. Encouraging each other from opposite sides of the fence. In addition, I would like to see reports on how the rubbish and clean-up is being processed in economical terms-rubbish is money, and blinding people to that, and especially those who rubbish it is, just seems a lot like someones are having a field day.
