Export Expert - That is exactly what I did. I gave money to the person who needed it right then and there. It was to people in Kessenuma. I by jeans from them. The factory is no more. They received my donation immediately. Thank goodness they are doing well compared to others in this travesty.

WTF? How else are they supposed to react? Mass hysteria? The nation itself is prone to natural disaster as no other in the world.

Very profound comment Cwhite. What was with the has and not being able to see as exposed text? Was that the extent of the security model they were using? No wonder it was hacked.

" Bin Laden was a leader of radical Islam, and at the same time he was an enemy of every other Muslim who won't follow his Wahabbi sect. "
That is nice to hear from you, but we are not hearing that from the islamic world. Huge demonstrations honoring OBL as an islamic martyr in Pakistan as we speak, and Hamas already has eulogized him too. And btw, Hamas is not Wahabi; they are not even Sunni. So dream on.
Maybe you could back up your earlier false allegations before adding more wild-eyed claims?
Thanks.
I am sunni and would have been killed outright by this monster. Just because I dont fold my arms in the same way they do in prayer. So theres your wild-eyed claim. I am here to represent the moderates that lack a backbone. Those idiots you see in the media are ignorant, illiterate sheep. Give them 5 dollars and they will sell you their daughters. So please stop with the nonsense about how hamas this hezbolla that. These people are not civilised and live in dark ages type life. A life rife with sectarian and tribal violence.
On another note, as sad as this sounds, this mission has several parrallels to the way US military got vengence after Pearl Harbor. From the secrecy all the way to the first hbomb. It took a little longer to find one man than it did in designing the atomic bomb. As someone quoted earlier, we have long memories and deep pockets. Indeed we do.

Grafton - Agree with the latter part of your comment. However, I have to disagree with the suspicion of it was truly him. Its like saying the moon landing was staged in a studio. These special ops have surely documented every aspect of the mission. Physical and virtual alike have been documented. I am sure they have this taped media while working to grasp this putrid excuse of a man. God bless the Seals and God bless America.

Just dont blur the lines between nudity and depravity. If one goes, unfortunately the other will also.
Japanese children and parents are free with nudity. You see this in there manga. However, placing innocence with depravity will turn into 1984.

I'd like to see a female judge handle this case.
Observing from the outside, panties seem to be a commodity in this country. Like dollar bills. Triumph should look into developing secure panties for the women of today. An anti-snatch mechanism like banks have for bills. Where the panties explode and release a non-lethal colored powder that doesnot wash off easily. Then and only then will the perps be marked semi-permanently and shamed.

The new generation seem to have lost sight of the principle that once made this nation the powerhouse it was. Whatever happened to the ZEN that was much talked about while major corporations like Sony were buying up much of hollywood? Whatever the case, the japanese are not stupid. They may have hit this long slump and maybe better off for it. They are easily 5 years ahead in technology compared to the rest of the world. That one caveat alone can only be mimicked and by South Korea and China, but not at the core of the country.

Well these guys have already failed. Did they catch Ishikawa or whatever his name is that killed Linday Hawker? Its all just rouse. Jitsuwa Knuckles is a tabloid like the Star or SUN. Dont get pulled into it. A bounty hunter with US credentials? Sounds like a screenplay or a manga storyboard. Well good on him if he actually aids in catching perps, but he wouldn't last 2 seconds with the Guardian Angels in NY. Its a goof organization. Lowering the age to 16 really sounds to me like its for a comic book.

Have these people ever heard the saying, "United we stand, divided we fall"? DPJ is imploding with this clown Ozawa throwing his so called hat into the ring. Japan needs a PM and Party that has the real guts and fortitude to take this country out of the 20th century. The elite in this country are still acting as if they are still living in the bubble days. The last PM to attempt this was Koizumi. Atleast the man had balls. I really cant say the LDP was the strongest at the turn of the century. All those leeches were riding on Koizumi's back. Now you have Kan. Who is flaky to begin with. The man has not done much since he started as PM. So now he will easily be thwarted because the electorate has the attention span of a 2 year old. And in will come Ozawa. I pig of a man, but smart nonetheless. He is throwing his hat into the ring for selfish reasons. Does the country really need PM like him? There is your answer. The whole political system in this country is what went wrong. There is no military. The "self-defense" force is impotent. It could not even carry out a coup if their lives depended on it. Their is no pride forthcoming. I agree with a post above about the people's setiment that their country is still occupied. All that is left is money and greed.

Why is it hypocrisy? Sex is sex and using this venue to promote safer sex is something everyone ought to really think about. Corny as it maybe, they are still making an effort to promote education about prevention. People can be so prudent when it gets to this subject. Sheesh.

Why not manipulate the Yen like China does their currency? Or has that been done before and flopped. I'm not too privy to this stuff, but looks like China is doing something right.

Well, on youtube BHO admitted that he was Muslim. (Obama: "My Muslim Faith") The key question is, "So what?" Can he do the job as President, that's the real issue, or should be.
I can't agree more on doing the job as President. However, please view the uncut video form ABC. That was a mistake. He corrected himself. There was so much 'u r a muzlim' going on during the campaign that I gather that he started believing it himself.

Exactly.
How does a 8 year old even comprehend the term suicide? Is this taught or gained throught the media?
Did the case or the textbooks instruct her to this. Unbelievable for one to take her own life at the age. I still can't believe it. For some reason I'm feeling someone other than the girl had their hand in this.
I could be wrong.

Agreed sakurala.
Ironic you bring up protecting the US constitutional rights now, Arion. I guess its more acceptable to hinder freedom from the whole group, than the few huh?
