No, Muslims have quite a lot of respect for Jesus, unlike those who crucified him and who continue till this day to spit at Christian church officials.

You still have a grudge against the Roman Empire? It is finished you know.

Seriously, you have to stop blaming Jews for everything.…

I'm sure most Iraqis hate Bush much more than they did Saddam.

Doubtful...however, I would agree they hate the situation their country is in more than they would have when Saddam was in power, which is completely understandable.

Indeed, I also often wondered why is it that those who have harmed the US the most have also had their butts kissed the most by the US. BTW, I am not referring to Muslims.

Indeed, we all know to which religion you are referring.

Nessie,

Exactly. In addition, a simple trip to a family restaurant on any weekend, holiday, or weekday lunch hour will show a packed place full of people stuffing their faces. I see nothing in Japan showing a decline in family restaurants...in fact they seem to be building more and more…

sorry...the political system needs an overhaul. We should be able to choose our own prime minister directly...I hate the idea that citizens have no real say in this process.

smithinjapan,

In part I was just picking on you for the last post, but as you feel the need to stand behind Aso for whatever reason, I still stand behind my remarks as to why he's unfit to lead.

Again, I repeat: I am not defending "Aso", I am defending…

smithinjapan,

That is not particularly fair, nor is it an accurate reflection of my views. I have never written that I think Aso is the best PM ever or anything like that. I have merely been writing that I agree with what he said and that I am glad he…

smithinjapan,

In case you are curious, by "backtrack" I was not intending to mean "backdown". I am sure you have said something and then qualified it to make sure you didn't hurt the feelings of the listener. I think that is what he did.

smithinjapan,

You mean in the middle of his comment he suddenly realized what he said might not be true? So much for your comments on the man's convictions!

Not exactly, as I wrote above and as you even quoted:

"As for why he backtracked, possibly he realized that this was…

Apsara (sorry I got your name wrong before),

Good points, except that these were probably the only 'stages' from which he could have raised these points. He certainly would be waiting a long time to have an opportunity to meet with the 'Association of Lousy Parents' and 'The Committee for…
