yet makes it a point to stubbornly reject anything coming from the outside, thus regardless of what happens business continues as usual

small point, perhaps, but allergies are caused by OVER-reactions of the immune system, hence the watering eyes/nose & sneezing. exposure still makes sense, however, the body just needs to adapt to its surroundings and tone down its reactions

no, there isn't. if you are being bullied then it is YOUR fault since you are clearly failing to fit in. in these circumstances it is appropriate for one to commit seppuku

jackson is, along with britney spears, a good reminder that fame and fortune is far from a guaranteed route to happiness and fulfillment. it's a shame people don't bear this is mind more often

take note the price drops only apply to US customers. prices in other territories have actually gone up, it seems

they, quite understandable, will never do this as it does not benefit them to do so. also, the government will not do anything as giving real political rights to minorities dilutes their power base.
therefore it is up to those discriminated against to make a stand from the ground up, and this is always the approach that has had to be taken

e-book readers are the future. the amount of compressed plain text that could be stored on the average ipod is mind-blowing.

i think you're right, but isn't this a rather medieval mindset? japan is a major exporter, as well as an importer, and should the rest of the world suddenly ignite into flames japan would be up the proverbial creek without a paddle. also, following the local rules is all very well but as an outsider one is unlikely to be graced with the long-term benefits of assimilation (social acceptance, increase in social status). these are factors that are going to need to be addressed in the future.

i used to suffer from awful hayfever when i was a kid; summer was basically nothing but pure pain for most of my school days, with zero sympathy from anyone around me. now, having grown up and grown out of the allergy it feels me with an evil satisfaction to see adults suffering for the first time...
more on topic, i feel the long term solution is exposure, like it or not. teach that immune system not to over-react. but mask and goggles feed the economy, eh
on another topic; tokyu hands is a fantastic shop

i think the problem is that whilst other nations with significant ethnic populations have at least attempted in some ways to negotiate people's natural tendency towards "tribal" thinking (ie. positive discrimination, attempts are fair representation in the media/education) japan is basically still teaching its people that they are part of a pure and exclusive club. within the japan club everyone is the same and completely unique and different to those outside it, ie. those without pure japanese "blood", who are also all the same but polar opposite to the japan club
a further caveat of this is that your membership for the club is constantly up for renewal. don't play the game and you can consider yourself out in the cold
so-called "halfs" completely screw with this dichotomy and at best expose it as flawed and simplistic, at worst a total lie and a dated thought system long overdue being put down. herein lyeth the problem

the j girls must love hilton; she is "cute" and rich. also, she must love japan; zero chance of her receiving any criticism over here for contributing zero to society in spite of the silver spoon in her mouth

i'm afraid i don't believe in japanese style. 99.9% of people are just copying styles from magazines. don't get me wrong, sometimes the results look fabulous (can't fault their dedication) but at other times i'm absolutely dumbfounded
fashion is, after all, so ugly it has to be changed every 3 months
haven't spotted any specific trends that are going around at the moment though

i imagine the free version is not offered to businesses and government agencies. as for private members, i'm sure there are some benefits for paying for the expanded version but seeing as you obviously don't require them you most likely wouldn't benefit

does the law in japan recognise self-defence? seems anyone who is assailed in public is far too terrified of the repercussions of actually defending their personal safety

not at all. the girls will have their "dream" and will be totally focussed on the most ideal outcome, with next to no thought about how they will cope if things don't go exactly to plan
