I love men with flu masks! At least some of the men I see on the trains, that is. They need them because no one ever taught them to cover their mouths so that they won't cough and sneeze all over the people around them! Not saying that the masks…

Can't believe people are making such a big deal out of such a brief, fleeting bow that doesn't show deference at all, just friendly respect. If he were to show deference or submissiveness, he would have bowed longer and without shaking hands. Of course, only showing a freeze frame of…

Americans don't see it as simply an act of protocol.

Perhaps it is time for them to look a little more outside their own country and realize there is a whole array of customs and ways of life out there? Just a thought...

I agree completely with dolphingirl...if more people in the world ESPECIALLY world leaders, showed more respect and deference for each oher, the world would be a better place. I don't see a thing wrong with this pic where two prominent men are showing respect for each other's cultures by using…

He is paying his rent on his own and not claiming it as an expense? I am confused. Why is this wrong? I am not that swift with this stuff. What I am gathering from this is that he is paying out of his own pocket for his rent and…

The people in silver look like they are the test group for a new body condom or balloons that are about to be released for some opening ceremony or like a bizarre performance art group.

Why not just put a whole grilled cow on a bun?

Apparently they did! Did you SEE that picture!! lol

This child has already been in the news all over the world and from what I can see, has been treated like a bit of a freak show in his own country. Perhaps my impression of that is wrong...please correct me if so.

If he is going to get some…

There is absolutely nothing new about that colour of rose. I used to grow some of my own back home...Blue Moon was the name of them. They were actually a bit closer to an actual blue than those. And 2000 yen?? For one flower?? They aren't that novel, really! You…
