re. the silly cicada debate: semi says "beem beem beem beem beem beem"
I can only ear one word at most, Does that make me inferior, even though I'm from the pacific and speak Japanese?
Point number two, if you want to claim that vowels etc. blah blah as in Japanese and pacific languages make you use your right side of your brain etc. etc. blah blah blah, why is he not also arguing that the pacific people are a superior people? If it was linguistics that was the be-all and end-all then why?God why? because its a load of crap. He is just trying to create a stir and controversy and cash flow by resurrecting the pathetic and bigoted theories of nihoinjinron (not all nihonjinron was like that but that's beside the point). These theories stink like any other ressurected corpse of a theory and should be put back in the ground, salted, and burned. Totally unfounded and biased, and 100% unscientific. The closest to science this gets is by taking scientific findings out of context and tacking a wacko premise onto them. My inferior vowel starved 2 words for the day are CODS WALLOP.
Also, how superior is a vowel rich language that is so lacking in other sounds which can be found in other languages spoken?
If you want to use both sides of your brain, practice patting your head and rubbing your belly in circular motions three times a day then repeat in reverse.

either way, you only get one pair of eyes, and if you want to gamble with them via elective surgery its up to you. All surgery carries inherent risks, but most of the time its out of necessity. I can see pretty well without my glasses, and use them only for night driving or watching a movie here and there. I calculated the risk and it wasn't worth it for me, maybe when they get a better record. You don't have to travel far to hear a horror story, or a success story, but we all know which one we would prefer for ourselves. I don't see why people are trying to sell someone on the idea when we are only asked what we think of it. Good for you if it worked for you. Sucks to be the people who got the short end of the stick and then are not covered by insurance because it was voluntary.

I wanted it until a family friend was pretty much blinded and had her life ruined by it. It can go wrong. It is so sad, beause she has young children who she will never see again. My eyes arent so bad as to risk that.

Exactly Himajin.
Ye gods, I hate the protectionist, monopolising, downright greedy and unfair strategies of Japans cell providers. I miss the days of being back home where I can buy a phone from anywhere, and as long as its the right frequency I can just throw my sim in there and bin the old phone or sell it on. These kind of strategies harm the customer, restrict trade, and in the long run doesnt help the providers, because sooner or later, a better option nmay come along. Heres hoping someone comes along and undercuts the lot of them and forces them to drop the prisoncontracts.

Well, it was a business hotel not a rabuho...But yeah, I agree, I dont see how she dodged anything. The title says alot and the article doesnt explain why she dodged anything.
She must need a pretty good disguise if she wants to get around with any guy on a date or something. Social life could be political suicide, politics is social suicide...well for a hottie like her. She is georgeous, and quite young to be in politics. But she is just a councilwoman after all.
How can someone be too beautiful to be a poltician? It shows Japanese attitudes to gender roles are still messed up.
But I almost agree its seems a shame such a beautiful girl is working in such an ugly business with all those ojisan nobs. Do they sexually harass her and make her fetch the tea, or does she have a pretty boy assistant to do her bidding?

lack of affordable childcare support, especially for single mothers will lead to kids being left at home. Sad state of affairs.

for the record, she does NOT have fat thighs, the pose is terrible all spread-eagled with one leg half cocked makes her look wide. Her legs are nice, not tooth picks. she is slim while not being a bag of bones.
The Obi however, is definitely to wide, and makes her look like she has no waist. and definitely , this is tacky, its like a kimono that flashes open from the waist down and shows the crotch...oh wait, that's exactly what it is. Its nothing inventive, its just a cheap trick to flash panties and over sexualize the kimono. Also I agree the make-up is terrible and makes her face look round. There are tons of ways they could use a kimono to make her sexy, beautiful, and demure, rather than just a crotch shot.
Hell, even a similar design with a miniskirt underneath, the design as it stands is like a modification for easy access.
All things said and done though...crotch shot = yum but does not = Ms.Universe win.

I wonder if back home it would be difficult to find a suitable charge for this type of thing, as it can be argued that it doesn't happen often enough, while it seems to be a pass-time here. Most likely they could only fit it with a sexual/ indecent assault charge.
Really, to think this isn't a problem in Japan more than other countries is to be in denial. This and a plethora of other weirdo fetishist intrusions upon women. Just yesterday my friend had her underpants, bra and bikini stolen from her clothesline on the veranda while she slept, weeks earlier there was an attempted break in... She now knows ( even though she is Japanese), that in Japan , it is not even safe for a women to live on the first floor of an apartment building. Oh but wait, then there was the guy who climbed up the balconies to the 3rd floor or whatever to rape a young woman.
There are too many sexual predators here, full stop. We need sexual education classes at elementary school level, and at all companies it seems too. Teach these sad losers what is, and is not ok in a modern society, and why.
