A simple online search on "highest percentages of murders committed using handguns" or "highest incidence of handgun murders per 100,000 residents" will show you the real situation. Guess who commits these murders and why.

There is no one 100% any race. Best to refer to them as "mikkusu," unless you know the percentages. Then feel free to say someone is hafu, or even shikusutinsu, or if you are pretty sure, satisekando. In the US, we have quite a few shikusutifosu.

Lost? Should be "collected" or better yet, "carelessly left." The big question is, "When was the last time he actually fired the gun?"

Hey, how about everyone cut CO2 by not dispensing and opening up any more soft drinks. But they should keep bottling the products to use up existing CO2. Oh, and stop beer production -- awful amount of CO2 produced, over 10 million metric tons per year.

About 6,000 Nisei spent WWII in Japan -- not in internment camps but living pretty much as other Japanese. Some were recruited to help as interpreters and engage in propaganda activities (such as the Tokyo Rose gals) for the J-Govt. This probably had something to do with the suspicion of the Nikkei in the US. The big issue many can't seem to get is that the US had to do something with all the Issei who became enemy aliens after the Pearl Harbor attack. Imperial Japan sure did something with all the enemy gaijin in Japan, and in all the countries it invaded. It's odd that those who renounced their US citizenship were eligible to receive compensation from the US Govt.

As expected, some of the Japanese press use the term "sanpai" to describe her visit. The term means "visit worship," which is exactly what she looked like she was doing. There goes her claim to anything Christian in her.

Wonderful message any time of the year -- Jesus Christ is the only Way, and He saves only those who are sinners. The phrase is from Acts 4:12 -- "There is none other Name... whereby we must be saved."

Miyazaki should be worrying. His films add nothing to alleviate the spiritual vacuum among Japanese youth. The only spiritual message "children's souls" get in his major films is mysticism and the occult. What is sapping youth's strength are books and movies of this caliber. Miyazaki would do well to invest in what these kids really need -- a godly foundation.

It's a seat issue, not human proportions. Airline seat rows are designed for maximum human occupancy. Cram them in. Airlines need to see how trains handle seating. Bench-type rows may be the answer.

Don't they call these children "bastards" anymore? Shame on the fathers! And shame on the "entertainers."
