    You have my sympathy Alex Einz. I hate cigarette smoke as much as anybody, but I love freedom a hell of a lot more that I hate anything.

    But I have run into so many anti-smoking crusaders who claim they can smell cigarette smoke coming from a house down the block. Good luck convincing them they are actually just schizo.

    I hear you that smokers also have rights. I do feel that non-smokers should come first, but if a restaurant wants to have a smoking area guaranteed not to bother non-smoking customers, they should have that right.

    Anyway, with the caesium 134 and 137 particles and others floating around lately, I don't have much room to worry about cigarettes.

    I wonder what Whitney's salary will be for her final perfomance?

    I suspect it will be zero, the same number of times she was asked if she would like her funeral to be broadcast live to the world.

    Unless this is specifically laid out in her will, its wrong.

    I guess they are both stupid now.

    It might be best for the health not to act like Meryll Streep in "The Devil wears Prada".

    What an annoying list! So many are just a sub-group of another category. I need a flow chart over here!

    moonbeams2 asked: If I steal a candy bar, do I blame the candy bar because it was too enticing?

    Whether the excuse is given any validity at all might well depend on the ease of stealing that candy bar.

    Still, even if it was just sitting on a park bench, you will still get some condemnation, but many will have words for the owner of the candy bar too, if it was his habit to leave his candy bars laying around.

    But if you steal it from a convenience store, I doubt you will get any leeway. That is because the candy bar was surrounded by four walls, there is probably only one entrance/ exit, and there is no doubt security cameras filming, all in an effort to prevent you from stealing the candy bar.

    In my mind, a super mini skirt is more like a candy bar on a park bench.

    That said, if there are candy bars on park benches much of the time, and you get used to stealing them, on days when they are hard to find, I would not be surprised if you took a crack at a convenience store. This girl might have been dressed appropriately, but got targeted because so many other girls wear super mini skirts.

    Remember the scene in Lord of the Rings when Gandalf exclaims "Do not tempt me further!". According to some here it did not matter how much Frodo and the Ring tempted him, it was all Gandalf's fault if he took the Ring.

    Anyway, if we are going to lay blame, there are three basic ways to do it: 1) blame it all on the man, 2) blame both the man and the girl to some degree, or 3) blame it all on the girl.

    Well some have chosen 1 and some have chosen 2. But what annoys the hell out of me is when those who chose 1 accuse those who chose 2 of actually choosing 3. No. No one worth responding to chose 3.

    Its hard to tell why people do this. But I expect its that typical daft attitude that blame has to be all one way or all the other. Well, It doesn't. I don't how the girl was dressed so I cannot say for sure. But if she was dressed a certain way, I don't give a damn that someone used a mirror to get a peak. Women who dress so as to invite it are not worth my tax yen busting men just for trying to get a peak.

    Women who don't want peaked at should dress the part and not toy with a man's sexual imperative.

    There is a big difference between suicide and suicided, but its just one letter to a J-cop so I don't expect an in depth investigation when they could be warm in snug in the police station instead.

    But timtak, are they singing about sex, or about NOT having sex? Its not like at 13 they have no clue, or should. In Japan, I believe they have had some form of sex ed, yes?

    First you said "extra measures" then you said "proper precautions". Like I wrote in my post, I bet he did everything by the book. But of course hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?

    I ask again: what EXACTLY did the warden do wrong? Should he have doubled the guard, built a separate wall there, stationed guard dogs, laid a minefield, what? EXACTLY?

    Americans in general are a paranoid lot, but especially on the right. While other countries have experienced wars on their own soil in recent memory, and more terrorist attacks too, none are as fearful as those in the very safe land of America. Its quite a paradox.

    I wonder if these Republicans are less concerned about Syria and Egypt, as if nukes will do anything to help there, or more worried about being unprepared for an invasion from outer space?

    He will deserve whatever punishment he gets, but much more for actually touching the girl's clothing than anything else. But still, at least he did not touch the girl herself.

    Yubaru wrote "no common sense, decency, ethics, or morals! "

    Did I miss the part where he rode a bike while holding an umbrella, didn't stand for an old person on there train, cheated on his tax return and blew up a bus load of nuns? He might be lacking in those qualities, but to say he has none of them, well isn't that a whole lot melodramatic? He tried to get a peek up a skirt. When kids do it, its passed of as a prank. When adults do it its something of a misdemeanor.

    More tests will be needed because while the patients did well on what they were tested on, it will take more tests to figure out if they forgot a bunch of what they were NOT tested on.

    Also, it might be important to raise protein, vitamin or electrolyte levels to make up for what was surely used up quicker by this process.

    What a horrible message! Promotions of sexlessness is about the last thing this country needs right now.

    I would say the chances of making female who was sexless until 20 into a fully sexual woman are about as good as making a man raised by apes until 20 into a fully civilized human being. Funny thing is though that that is the real Japan (sexless) and has been for a while, which is why sexual frequency is down, why the birthrate is down, why the sperm counts are down, and why so many gaijin males complain that their Japanese wives don't do it any more (they never really wanted to do it in the first place!).

    Again, what a horrible message! Sex is a use it or lose deal, and Japan needs to use it, because its definitely losing it.

    So when politicians and management choose to ignore the locations of fault lines, historical sizes of tsunami, and planned decommission dates, and the engineers just play along, those engineers are blameless?

    Granted they are not as bad as the politicians and management who ignored their data, but I would never say that they, as people well in the know, are blameless. And I am not even speaking of the engineers who falsified or fudged data on command, or those who prettied up reports. You know damn well there are those types too.

    But fact is that not all involved politicians, members of management or engineers are bad. But it took collusion between some certain members of each group to give us Fukushima.

    Actually, I think that is a giant misconception that helps lead to substance abuse.

    Money makes some things easy. But other life challenges remain the same. Some may even get more complicated. You won't find love easier for being rich. In fact, you might have to work harder to find it, like avoiding gold diggers for example.

    Outside of Hagegobo's random guesses, can anyone tell me EXACTLY what the warden did wrong? I got a pretty penny that if a random inspection took place one hour before the escape, that neither warden nor any staff would have been found to be doing anything contrary to the book.

    “We’d be mugs (fools) in the current climate, given the revenue being generated in other states, given the jobs being generated in other states, not to do this step, which is to see what uranium resources exist across New South Wales,”

    Interesting how in the climate after Fukushima, that people have come out supporting nuclear power. None of them live in Fukushima, do they?

    Why? All they do is amass statistics on music like American Top 40. So NMB48 made it to number one this week? Next week it will be SMAP, Kumi Koda, or Chage and Aska.

    Could you specifically identify what problem that is causing outside of your own personal headache? Do you really think anything is changed in world? Do you really think anything is worse?
