No big deal here really; The car not drivable, the dress unwearable and the bride not much to look at and not likely to produce any offspring. Looks like she's been around the block a few times unlike the SL Went through a swarm of TInkerbells. Like it...

Why not pay the amount for anyone driving a Toyota with any alternative to petrol driven engines? A much better idea given the slow suicide of this planet from dependency on this black muck. It's time for leadership to get serious on this transition as we just cannot afford any more dummies-as-leaders at the late stage, otherwise the entire planet is going to a cropless, barren Somalia... and soon

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be up all night reading it... Or even between yawns 'myopically' refelcting on it for sure.

Agreed... the guy is riding on the back of stereotypes and anyone who's had anything to do with the genokai knows this nothing to do with talent, rather flavor of the month. This kid's the flavor of the moment and hardly a role model for anyone, let alone some Japanese kid with a confused sexual identity. Wonder if the creep that runs Johnny's Jumsho is backing him? (in a matter of speaking of course)

"There's a boring as hell TV program where people just eat a lot of food. It's just disturbing that this is considered normal family entertainment."
Ah yes... that fat bloke with peroxided hair and camouflage pants? Looks like a yeti in knickers? I've only ever heard the man make sounds; 'grunt, glorp, sluuurp, rowwlp, oiishi.' That's about it. Hardly useful for promoting Japanese interests anywhere.

Yeah, must be tough to recover from 3 dogs down. especially with the roar of the crowd and ten franks to go. How do these guys behave at a normal eatery one wonders? Gimme 30 dogs and the check I'm in a hurry?

tkoind2: I agree that the government needs to come up with a 'rational' solution. But given the government is broke, it's a safe bet the only 'solution' will be everyone including you and me takes a cut to make up the differences. The price one pays for incompetence, drones in city offices and part-time staff who have no interest in records or anything else save the clock on the wall.

Even more annoying when one realizes there are alternative technologies that are ready now and would slash carbon emissions from cars at least, to zero. Nuthin' runs cleaner than air and air engines are cheap, reliable, powerful and casts about $2 to fill a tank. The next generation will have on board generators that recycle exhaust air back into the main air tank.

Sorry, not enough, ain't nearly enough. Beijing is running out of water at am alarming rate: "According to the report by Canada-based Probe, called "Beijing's Water Crisis: 1949-2008 Olympics," Beijing's 200 or so rivers and streams are drying up, and the city's reservoirs are almost empty.
More than two thirds of the city's water supply now comes from groundwater, and Beijing is extracting water originally intended for use in emergencies, such as war, from 1,000 meters or more underground.
At the same time, water demand is rising, and the Games - for which Beijing has developed man-made lakes, musical fountains and new parks - will consume around 200 million cubic meters of water, the report said."
GIven that many scientists are seriously talking about the 'end' of the North polar ice cap as early as next year, this is just a pathetic effort. Too damn little and too bloody late...

Well as Warren Buffet so succinctly puts it; 'my secretaries at Berkshire Hathaway pay more per capita tax than I do.' to whit: payroll tax is the chief source of taxation in the US and the rich pay comparatively very little indeed. Not a good scenario for any country.

Like anyone else, crime worries me and I want the bad guys to be in the pen. Western jurisprudence has (well, in the ideal form anyway) always held that it err on the side of doubt and it's a wonderful principle. Japanese justice is a leftover from the medieval era, where the presumption of guilt was the basis for getting the accused to see it that way too.
Nuff said... It's just that; medieval and with a labyrinth of petty rules, judges rewarded for speedy trails, humongous bureauocracy, trivial procedures and minuntiae rules. God help anyone of us for whatever reason becomes ensnared in it.
