Quote Makes me glad to be one of the three people in Japan who don't own a cell phone. Unquote

Yes. We are few. I have owned two for short spaces of time but decided I didn't want one, and haven't owned one for about five years now.

I think he is right. TV, computer games and DVDs are harmful to humans and especially children.

If children watch a screen then they are using their senses in a highly focused way. Their ears and eyes especially will not be able to differentiate where sights and sounds are coming…

Yes, I think most doctors are on another planet more and more these days. Of course PM Aso was right about saying they are out of touch in whatever words he chose.

My children rarely go to hospital and on the rare occasions I take them I try hard to…

The pill is available for those women who want it. Though it eventually messes her hormones up and makes her 'boyish.'

Giving up a professional career? What did you have in mind? Isn't it more the case that the women are forced to work. I know of lots of ladies…

The prostitution and the rest of the slave-trade in the UK (as elsewhere) is entirely kosher based on what there is available to peruse.

I'm surprised as I find it hard to believe that there are many people who still want to go to the US.

In most circumstances I would stand during the recital of the national anthem out of respect for my hosts. But I wouldn't sing it out of respect for my self.

It would be nice to read about Somali (and other pirates) being terminated with extreme prejudice via machine-guns. It would be even more gratifying to learn that the places where the (expired) pirates lived had been razed and that wannabe pirates are aware of their likely fate should they dare…
