Cos, don't put spaces before question marks.
Baidu will fail here - their marketing is awful. Their search results are terrible.

I find there are two groups of foreigners here. One comes to teach English at a school or investment bank for a few years and the only Japanese people they get to know are at pick-up bars. They tend to believe that Japanese people are apathetic about politics. They don't speak the language.
The other type have been here for years, or decades, and have often married into Japan. They are fluent in the language and talk politics with Japanese people and hear other Japanese people talking it. They know it's absurd to say that Japanese people are apathetic about politics. They know better than to use a single adjective to describe all of the people in Japan.

I paid the same amount for my ticket. I see a seat, I take it. If you want the seat, get there first. No more handouts for the lazy!

farhaan,
You cannot get the death sentence in Japan from killing only one person. Read the law.

I am also rich, and I am tired of the poor destroying America with their vote. Every election of a democRAT shows what damage the poor in America can do. They are in the majority because poverty is caused by laziness and immorality. Most humans fall victim to at least one of these two and cannot get out. The rich are above both, we transcended them by birth.
America needs to give more strongly weighted votes to those of us with a net worth above $100 million.

This is 100% true. Obama is not only a terrorist himself, but a muslim. This should disqualify him from leading the nation founded by Jesus Christ.

These foreign firms need to get out of Japan NOW. Japan does not need the moral corruption that their employees bring. Japan is quite capable of financing its own projects, thank you very much. Send them packing!

You're not a judge either. You have no place to say he is innocent. A court found him guilty. Do you know what drugs do to people's lives? We are safer with him behind bars.

rjd_jr, I agree 100%. It's unfortunate that the Japanese justice system is so lenient to foreigners.
shanabelle,
No, not wrong. This is Japan. You are a guest. Breaking the laws is disrespectful to Japan. Don't like how it is in Japan? We have plenty of airports with flights you can take home.
Name and shame, but not our own!

Obama falls right in with the Neville Chamberlain mold of appeasement. He has no chance when the american voters know they need a strong President.
