So who is this wannabe, whose talent has more to do with who he knows and not what he knows, and why is he sporting a previously used band name? If memory serves there was a LA punk band in the late 70's early 80's that called themselves "X", fronted…

Maybe he did the human gene pool a favor and offed himself. Problem is, he won't be found for years, if ever.

Why does JT continue to put this drivel on the site? "those who don't hold the spirit...." sounds like a watered down Ishihara rap on foreigners... again.

WAKE UP FAT BOYS OF SWA, your sport has gone international, and without the interest of foreigners, sumo would in all likelihood die…

taikan-- I pondered your response (as did my wife), and without the kanji, your name means about as much to us as the name "Bob." So cut the BS and read my examples carefully: they were both appointees. Revolving door? How many actually come back after they are let go?…

Geez...???? Don't J-doctors, educators, or children psychs (wait, there aren't any children psychs)read the data available from the rest of the world? Is this another example of the pervasive ignorance of child-rearing in this country? Of course children need lots of sleep. When I was a kid, 9:00 pm was…

buddha4brains, um.... did I mention anything about America should have won?

Ummmm.... No, you didn't.

Oh good thanks.

Failed to motivate???? What? Did they need 300,000 yen yakiniku? Give me a break, it's the Olympics, how much more motivation do you need?

Post-mortem on why they lost??? Sounds like typical…

Here, here herr Colonel. Agree completely. Last year tuna sales were halted in parts of the US because of high mercury levels. Did the story play here? NOT!!! Food safety is important, but the penalties here are a friggin joke, not to mention lacking any sense of fairness.
