Quite good really? Need the water on the cigarette and the 'squash' as in 'squash one with yer foot' and it'd be perfect!

It's true, 'we really haven't progressed much'. I find no pleasure in agreeing that the dropping of the bomb, as bloody awful as it was which utterly fails, and is hopelessly ineadequate to describe it, was an act of ultimate mercy. A contradiction? The A bomb merciful? Some pretty deep and dark irony here. Of course but none of us posters would be here now if it hadn't and how would the county be now? That's pretty obvious to me. Look at the northern Russian occupied islands. That's how this place would be.

Betting on any sports in Japan is illegal. Betting on bullfights in Japan is normal. It goes on behind the scenes with discrete loan sharks around the ring quietly offer loans for bets. Often they're women and that's a fact. A part of human nature? Part of yours maybe but not mine ... We're supposed to evolve not devolve.

In the wild? Bulls are creatures on farms, Sarge. You know those big fields with fences around 'em? They don't "do this in the wild" because they're livestock for your dinner or procreation. These bulls are for fun ... For dimwits who like to see a bit of agro and place a few bets (which people certainly do). If bulls were to ever fight 'in the wild' as you so charmingly put it, it would be over the access to a female not for Japanese country bumkins' afternoon's entertainment.

stromqueen: A little lesson on nomenclature, bulls don't 'wrestle' they gouge, crack heads and charge with shochu and cheap sake fueled fury. If you'd seen enough you'd have understood that. So yes, thanks to your brilliant analysis of predicament, I'm now 'over myself'. A torn hammy, huh? Another candidate for dumb quote of the day ...

'This is what bulls do' huh? Shows how much you know ... These bulls are half whacked with sake for your information. I'd go further and guess there are a few additives in the mix as well. This is well known and allowed in the want for a better word, "sport". The 'seki' or attendants egging the poor buggers on, often have a bottle of the stuff on hand. I know, I've watched this a few time in Kochi. This what bulls do ... such blithe ignornace.

The man's character and devotion to his wife is unquestionable. Given the dreadful, archaic machinations of the Imperial Household Agency I'm surprised he hasn't flown the coop or at least lost his cool years ago. A fine man and worthy of the title 'prince' in my book ...

smoke and mirrors ... ever see one of these trucks when they've stopped for a cigarette break? maybe three people inside tops, usually two. I think it's a hoot as none of them look like they'd make it running a mile. and sure, they target companies, institutions of their peculiar displeasure with noise. lots of it. anytime a chinese delegation is in town, a japan teachers' meeting etc. nutters pure and simple ...

This is good news for Japan and only after coming to terms with the horror, will the county progress. Not a situation entirely unique to Japan either, as we all have skeletons in the cupboard. The problem for Japan is; the won't look until they're dragged out of the cupboard and put on display. Even then there will be many naysayers. The Japan Times online in the special news presentations 'witness to war' have some very interesting stories (and videos) by J military now coming to terms with the deep horrors they were a part of ... Great stuff. And be fair Moderator, leave that in the post unlike previously when you've felt threatend by another site's info ...

Technology is a big part of this problem. Gone are the days when fishermen relied on weather, sea conditions and gut intuition from years of experience. Switch on the GPS and fish trackers and they can home in very quickly on large and small shoals. The fish just ain't got a chance and get ready for more 'fish wars' as we once again fail to realize that we've overextended with bluefin. Wait? Most tuna ends up as cat-food anyhow. Absurd ...

The depletion of tuna stocks is but one part of a much more worrying eco problem. Notice how much trouble fishermen are having with jellyfish these few years? That's because the bio-mass of species is shifting in their favor. They're ancient, designed to survive and they will, as the oceans deplete of fish. Troubled? I am and if in the slightest doubt, Google 'The rise of slime' and scare yourselves ... Tuna is also cat-food and cat-food turns into kitty-litter which often gets back into the same oceans along with our pharmaceuticals. The big Canadian lakes are in trouble plenty but we're all just hoping the problem will go away. It won't ...

The Keystones on the whole, are not that bad. The real issue is the entrenched mentality of usually older cops who've been let off their collars for too long. Needless to say we need them but they also need supervision and criticism. With the permeating judo/kendo culture of the force and the same OB network you're either in it or out of it. Many graduate cops, usually not a part of the same culture, throw in the badge after a year or two and move on.

More to the point; there is little or not understanding of a coroner's role in determining suspicious causes of death. Or even what a coroner is ... The Keystones "direct" the examining doctor (not a forensic pathologist by any means) to write down the cause of death as they see it. Baloney. this is just unbelievable in this day and age ...

bobbafett: Accurate comments; There's something about being in a group with "numbers" in public that brings out the worst in these people. Parading gays everywhere have a right to their preferences, but the modern gay agenda goes way beyond just that. What they want is full parity with everyone and I say it's not acceptable. I don't give a hoot who disagrees with that either ... The parade also I saw was full of simulated sex acts and if that's their way of demanding equality then they're clearly just pissing off the rest of us. Bat for the other team if you want, but don't push it in public and especially not in front of kids.

Whether we agree as to snowboarding being a sport or not isn't really the point. Ratings is the name of the game, and whatever brings in the big numbers is what it's all about. Snowboarding sure as hell does including me. Like, who knows the name of any Biathlon Z-z-z-z-z- .... medalists? (without looking them up)

Fujitsu, what a drop kick of a company. The latest; 'Apple stole our i-pad' made me laugh. Still, they may make far better robots but their computers are useless.
