I have never been in jail, but a friend has (he was under arrest for 20 days because they thought he could have done something close to something illegal... and he was from Peru).THey do not let you read anything that is not in Japanese, speak with other immates in…

Nessie, why do you think gas is so much cheaper in the USA compared to many other parts of the world, even though they are net oil importers?

Well, because the USA government does not need the money to, for example, provide cheap health as in Japan. On the other…

How can you lose 5 games and finish 4th??? Baseball in the Olympics is clearly not serious and it is good that it won't be in London. But nobody cares.

well, it is logic that the number 1 beats the number 9.She gets too much publicity. Please, stop saying her age any time you write about her. Many athletes in this olympics have won medals being younger than her. She is on the move from a "young promise" to a…

Is Baseball the least exciting sport in the olympics? After Shooting, maybe. Why do they have to play so many games before playing semifinals and final? In tennis, you lose once, you are out. In Judo, as in football, you can lose once. But in Baseball you can lose twice…

Maffias appear with illegal stuff. In Japan you cannot legally gamble and prostitution is forbidden, but everyone has a Pachinko near their home and can enter the "delivery health" pages. At least they could legallize the thing and that anybody can make their own business. In the actual scheme, they…

I dont know the Korean, but Japanese and Chinese leagues level are awful. The technical/physical level of Japanese and Chinese players is very poor, so you cannot expect serious clubs to contract them. I am amazed by the publicity that Celtic's Nakamura has, when the Scottish is a third class…
