No worries, man, just look around the Internet. The uncensored stuff is everywhere.
The porn industry is recession-proof, and this most certainly holds true for the biz in Japan.

The provisional roster for the U.S. team is pretty impressive. Now let's continue to improve it and have the players show up for training in shape and win the title. There will be no more lucky breaks for Japan. All the other countries, and not just the U.S., will be ready to play this time, and Japan won't get any gifts this time to get out of the second round, let alone win the WBC.

This is simply pathetic. Click on the link for this site and get bombarded by stories concerning one sex crime after the other.
The daily dose of this kind of news that we get on JT shows how degenerate the country of Japan truly is.

Simply waiting for the toxicology report would be helpful, but then such a common sense approach wouldn't sell in the weekly magazine business.
I'm just sorry that she died so young.

So I'm glad to hear there is no need for historians in Capster's world.
Or even back-deck discussions of history with my old man. I thought we had informed opinions over the years, what with me being a history major at university and dad spending decades teaching HS social studies.
Spoken like a true head-in-the-sand Bush supporter. Another quote from Capster that should be bronzed and on permanent display.
However, in one sense Capster is correct: We do not need to do any more mulling over the past where the presidency of George W. Bush is concerned. Any intelligent person knows his administration should get a big, fat "F" for most everything it did.
Case closed. Good-bye and good riddance, George W. Bush!

The timing on this assault is interesting, to say the least.
Of course the U.S. is going to support the bombing, especially when a lame-duck administration misguided for 8 years by Bush/Cheney is virtually ignored by the rest of the world with just days left in office.
Israel has free rein to do what it wants to the Hamas terrorists.
Go, Israel, secure your borders and create peace and prosperity within them!

The never-ending cycle of violence in the Middle East.
Israel and its neighbors.
Iraq and sectarian violence.
Afghanistan and its lawless tribal areas and support for terrorists.
Pakistan and its terrorists-stuck between Afghanistan and India.
The list goes on.
U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will very probably find himself caught up in so many conflicts in the region that his plan for a Great Concrete Society may not come to fruition.
One thing is for sure: 2009 will bring more of the same fighting in the ME that we read about in this article.

She provided me with my first fascination with an AV idol soon after I arrived in Japan in the Navy in 1990.
After learning about her life growing up, I really respected her attempts to move beyond her first profession and establish herself as a star in the mainstream TV business.
It's a terrible shame to see this happen to her, but it was her life, and I hope she found some sense of accomplishment and fulfillment from the time she chose to have.

I was lucky enough to have a chance to work with her on a small project for NHK a couple of years ago. I really respect her for the hard work she put in to learn English, and the drive and determination she has always had to make such a successful acting career for herself.

Japan won't get the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Japan won't get the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
Japan won't get the 2018 Soccer World Cup.
I'd say the 2022 Soccer World Cup is a distinct possibility. That would be just in time to demolish a bunch of stadiums that were built for the 2002 World Cup, and, in many cases, have had little use since then, but have cost the taxpayers bundles for the construction and maintenance.
I love sports, but when the system to acquire the rights to hold such competitions in one's country requires the money and efforts it does a decade or more in advance, then I'd say this is one crazy world.

So, by your rationale, kaminarihito, it would also be just fine for Aso to say that Japan's use of chemical and biological weapons in China during WWII was no big deal because Japan had not signed the 1925 Geneva Protocol, and did not do so until 1970.

A man like Taro Aso has no business being Japan's prime minister, and not just for the reasons outlined here.
Japan just never gets it.

Ossan: This deployment is directed more at the expanding military power, growing economic might, and political clout of China, and not the impoverished, failed state of North Korea.
