I have often commented that I think mothers of young children in Tokyo, or the other major Japanese cities, are amazing. These cities are hardly "mother-friendly", particularly as it applies to mass transportation. Many older stations/train lines lack elevators, or even escalators. So, you often see these ladies trying to…

greentea ... fine, but then you only have two options. Either Japan completely pays/handles its own defense, or, U.S. forces are stationed elsewhere, but are still expected to defend Japan. Which are you recommending? We both know the J-government is in no position to take on the financial burden of…

Having someone connected with the Chinese official media use the phrase "the lofty ideals of mankind" makes me want to puke. Sorry, gmy, but the Chinese government is getting exactly what they deserve -- citizens and a free media pointing out their hypocracy. Too bad the folks inside China are…

"I feel cutesy poo in this dress" -- an apt description of the thinking a huge percentage of J-gals if there ever was one. Kawaii rules.

Hiko...agree completely. Superlib, you conveniently overlook one huge point -- that the Chinese government desperately wanted the games for political reasons. They wanted to show the world that China was a true world power, and how their blend of a "market economy" and communism was prospering. So, saying, "don't politisize…

romulus3 -- Completely agree. Guy chops up someone, and only gets three and 1/2 years. Makes one wonder what the sentence would have been if the roles were reversed -- a guy from the Philippines chopping up a Japanese woman? THEN there would be outrage Voxman. And, as a resident…

How do you "reenact" sloppiness or outright stupidity? Will the captain be napping again?

eastokyo...very funny. Glad you said it, and not me. I'd be classified as just being "racist", but you can get away with it. One question though. If the event is held to "pray for protection against STD's" wouldn't it be better if the large pink unit had a condom on?…

rjd_jr -- Apparently you like the Barbie-doll -- pardon me, Licca doll --look. Personally, I'll pass. I mean, seriously, look closely at the picture -- they look like dolls, not real women. (They even have their arms/hands posed identically.) If the caption wasn't there, I bet a lot of people…
