A robot with the choreography programmed into her would never make a misstep, but what if the dancers make a mistake (or if there is a glitch/error/hardware failure)? I'd hate to see the injuries that would occur to these pretty girls and in front of an audience to add insult to injury..

Do you remember when George W. Bush declared victory while dressed in fighter pilot gear in front of a big banner "Victory!"? LAUGH! Whatever the aims of the US and its military were in Iraq, I think it's safe to say, FAIL. Except to make one big mess maybe. And meanwhile.. they are concurrently failing again in Afghanistan which is an echo of its fail in Vietnam.

He just opened up a can of worms. Why oh why couldn't he have his silence imply that he was condoning Sengoku's earlier statement, instead of also putting his own foot into his mouth too?

This guy is doing yet another repackaging of the old isolationism and nationalism with the pretext of removing katakana and the US military bases in Japan. You might be marginally successful with the katakana and have a slim chance of pushing the other through, but is he even considering China? This guy is basically advocating the removal of military protection for Japan, is he just dumb or an agent provocateur?

kirakira25: i think majimekun means that he must not be the only customer, but he was targetted because he was a foreigner. i disagree with that though, he was caught because he was dumb enough to go to a prostitute rehabilitation center having no other connection to the girl but the fact that he was a former john/punter.

It's possible that this dog, being chained outside and left alone all day long, was one of those that bark at everything (all day long). One of the neighbors got fed up and decided to take a little revenge.
If that is the case.. it's irritating to have a barking dog next door, but that's no justification to do this at all. Why not take it up with the irresponsible pet owner?
Anyways, if there is an investigation, first people I would ask are the neighbors. They could be witnesses or the perpetrator(s).

Instead of direct confrontations, how about a sincerely written note addressed to the parents? It's not "Japanese" to be directly confronted and would make the individual more defensive instead of thinking about their actions, especially if this is about their parenting skills, child abuse and criminal actions. Should the individual persist in abusing their child (and one hopes that the confronters have made certain this is the case), then a face-to-face meeting or reporting to the authorities would be the next course of action.

If you looked twice at the price, you (and I) can't afford it. It's seen and be seen, the food is beside the point.

There's no telling if MS will abandon this OS just like their last failed one, so app developers are understandably hesitant to enter the market.

Wow, will this thing never end? Both sides of the Sea Shepherd argument have now disgraced themselves and each other publicly, like a pair of spoiled celebrity ex-BFFs. I was never a fan of them in the first place, but couldn't they at least limit the damage to everybody on their side by settling this behind closed doors?
The whalers, government, right-wingers and ultranationalists of Japan are all laughing at you, joined in by most of the Western world. You're truly taking attention away from the cause you supposedly believe fervently in. Do they even remember it's supposed to be about saving whales? FOOLS.

I've always thought that those places had lax security in proportion to the amount of money at risk. All they needed was a toy gun, two helmets and a motorcycle. Each person got more money than they would make in a year, way too easy! If these guys are that successful with that little trouble, expect a wave of copycat attempts coming to a pachislot near you.

Aw man, their "professionalism" only extended to the heist job; everything else was noob to the worst degree. What did they expect to do with all that loot when the whole of Asia is looking for them? They could have at least traded some of their stash for a place to hide it in China instead of their own homes and safety deposit boxes.

Smoking nazis out in full force, I see. I don't understand why somebody who hates cigarette smoke that much would patronize businesses that permit cigarettes. Just leave and take your money elsewhere, I say. No need to be verbally obnoxious.

Stupid Americans, they fell for the ruse. Pakistan now has a valid reason to deny access for supply routes, knee-capping the whole theater. They've given the Taliban time to regroup and recover. For the price of 3 grunts, they can save entire companies of terrorists on both sides of the border.
Read the news about intelligence reports which said that numerous Taliban commanders have claimed that Pakistan is pushing the terrorist forces in Afghanistan not to surrender and to keep fighting the Americans. It's a serious allegation and there appears to be some truth to their words!
