Why should we remember the atrocities of the past? Clearly, mankind doesn't like to learn from its own history, but maybe some people will get the message.
Posted in: Do you think events like 9/11, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the A-bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and so on should be commemorated each year or would you rather see the dates fade into history without any annual official ceremony?

Drink alcohol to "deepen your relationships". Can't talk about anything meaningful unless we're drunk.

Well, now that she used the obligatory "a gaijin sold it to me" get out of responsibility card, my "sympathy" is out the door carried away by Typhoon #9. Seriously, does the "Gaijin sold me the drugs" excuse work in any other country on earth?

Dice-K's comments were related to the "ethnic, racial, and physiological" differences between US & Japanese ball players and the training methods they undergo....looks like Dice-K is starting up the excuse mill for when he is sent packing at the end of the season. Ichiro doesn't seem to be suffering too badly under the "ethnically, racially, and physiologically"-biased US baseball training system.

From the article, Veteran volunteers of the local humane society recall the series of cat killings in the Setagaya area, in which 13 cats died. “Shortly after 13 stray cats had been neutered and released, someone used chemicals and killed every single one of them.”
Ok, bad TV plot line here, so someone got to all 13 of a specific group of cats....meaning unless there had been a wholesale slaughter of cats, someone knew those cats, where they had been released, etc. Might want to check people volunteering at the local humane society at the time the time that the incidents occurred.

noypikan.... The S or M type is more a personality thing in the relationship (and somewhat in bed). It's along the lines of who is dominant and who is submissive. It does not directly mean the Western version of S&M. But, nice to know that your mind is in the gutter, too.
