Saying the deep depth has no effect on a tsunami just doesnt make sense. For some reason Im always watching the depths of these things, like that Nagano one was at 50km, thats by my description of one to watch. Around 10km well youll feel it quickly, just seems like rippling out, but if its big there is not much time for covering yourself. 50 to around 150, means to me there is movement happening somewhere, and somewhere has to give, Much deeper like 200-300 is when you dont need too much concern-or its a real fluke. But Im no expert just a unadjusted to rattles foreigner in earthquake happy Japan

Mind I will admit that as foreigners if this, Japan, is where our family has extended to, it can be difficult to feel that you are family.

well as you point out ambrosia, Japans facilities are quite good, Id even say excellent. Id say you could keep your career and capitalize on the facilities. I dont mind growing old here at all. I dont understand what you dont understand. You explain to me looking after a child or an elderly takes time and effort. But if you cant realize the difference well I can be sure I wouldnt want you being my aid. And I think we have a different definition of raise. Of course children come by influence of other people in a community, but how that is raised is up to the parents; is my definition. If I dont like my neighbourhood I move my kids, or instruct then to which park or side of the road is preferred because those community members I would trust with their disciplining-which is what you were discussing. And elderly people are so not like children-do you really need me to name the differences. Your suggestion that feeding them is the same, I think is silly. What percent of elderly NEED feeding? Versus being TAUGHT to feed, for example. If you want me to keep naming the differences, give me a yell. Because I think there are so many and they are so obvious, I dont see the need for me listing it out. In fact if I was an elderly person and you claimed that, Id be humiliated by your stance. Not all old people are sick, and like in the case provided the guy had a stroke, that's not dementia. You lump everything together so much so that I would be wary of the way you use the word community. I think Japans facilities are great, and that it is up to us to realize our family. In fact I would go so far as to say that Japanese are quite good at that, and it's us foreigners who arent used to realizing our family. And ambrosia as far as your little example about being disciplined by your neighbours, please dont take me wrong but did you ever think that your neighbours may not always like to be the one to discipline you. They may occassionally have wished that your parents would give your ears a ringing sometimes. When you bring in personal situations, I dont think that sunstantiates the article or what you say in any way-for you it may have been/be fine, but every situation is separate.

How can an Australian not afford a lawyer but can afford to have himself and well from this article we can understand his son, over in Saudi Arabia doing a what? and how long does that holiday take? Those economics dont add up to me.

what a silly thing to say-that elderly people are like children, or even that children are raised by the community. doesnt it show how much of a break down the family has been dealt when people start thinking like this. and situations that this article highlights may show us that it is time to take it in our own hands to put the family back as the centre of peoples lives.

Its so good to read such detail about it all even in the comments section. What is really sad is just how much Australia blinds it's own people. Feeds them gobs full of so-called truth. It's nothing new down under really, it's been going on for years how selective they are with what they feed their public. I know people should just look it up and search around, but if you are doing that search within Australia I guarantee nothing worth reading will come up on the first ten pages at least. But that's another piece of wool that is being pulled over AUstralian eyes-just how free the internet is. (try searching for anything Australian made, resources and such, from in Japan and you will end up anywhere but) What would be nice though if someone outside of Australia and not Australian actually said as much-you beaut! those foreigners arent just a bunch of smarties their actually nice.Then all them young Australains who stumbled across such information may just be an aid in breaking it down to the truth within Australia. Which aint easy.

seaforte-you make no sense-making them a blast and somewhat planned. Sure sounds good. How many kids you got? how many times you had a blast? Why is this even on here-trying to get some blue mothers to comment here? Like there a million-exaggeration-different types of carriers already out there. This seems a little expensive to me. Either front or back has their benefits-cept Im starting to think recently that they were designed so that mothers could feel guilty about having a baby to care for. Ive decided all mothers should have the luxury of enjoying their baby.

Idols, yes. Sectorized, yes. A God, no. Religion and it's definition, is THE contraversial word being thrown around at the moment. It is too broad, ambivalent really. Hope your belief system can stand up to it. I guess you could corner Buddhism into a religion to make it substantiate itself. That might be fun.

talking about drawing the line at the border-what gets me about the Thais speech rule is when a Thai hooker hits Japan and they cop the same attitude about the Japanese language and speaking, as if there is some level.

While they are at it pulling strings for this guy, they, the Australian authorities, could claim another local boy who looks to be headed to another crazy-like state; I mean about Assange heading to Sweeden

The Labour Party was originally that, those that worked and laboured (thus the union connection, which in Aust. was basically the mines) and was rather Christian in it's leaning. Originally the Liberals were exactly that, liberal. Somewhere along the line, the liberals gained some cash (that could be the Nationals) and became what can be considered conservative. The Labour party being diminished and continuing to handle those persecuted led them away from their original values around christianity and the family-well that's my quick summary of it.
Oh well I must be bigotted- I just wouldnt know who to vote for. I guess Im in the line up for the next group to be persecuted and saved by labour.

What a horrid discussion. See I was told that jizo just looked out for children-of course I didnt look it up scientifically, I just believed the person who told me, and I guess thats how they understood it....it is a shame they idolize such thing, but if it helps them until they know something living that will help, then whose to judge. Surely there must be a difference between a snake and propaganda, enforcement. BlueWitch if youre trying to promote abstaining, which really is the only 100percent guarantee to not cross any moral grounds, whatever category of contraception people categorize these things as, well I feel you are fighting a losing cause-so allow me to promote "Happy Families".

um the last I went shopping I believe it was pretty much on par....30kg of rice for around 8000yen....I heard 10kg at woolies was around $15......now those who like to count their pennys are nothing but penny pinchers, but to me that pretty much averages the same, whats 5-10 dollars? Your quotes arent even interesting enough to make me look-Yous are all just forming a argument-I like to see how yous form it.
