Hey, how about everyone cut CO2 by not dispensing and opening up any more soft drinks.

Yeah and leave all the refrigerator doors open to cool down the earth. I hope that was a joke about the soft drink. Cutting emissions has a drastic effect on US economy. Us economy…

Hmmm comments raise many questions. How many of those, who state "J Chicks" who of course should be respectfully called "Japanese women" are not capable of intelligent conversation, can converse with them in more than childish/survival/pickup lines Japanese? The article itself seems like a troll, I mean one case is…

As for them being safe, it's simply a simple fact that the numbers don't lie. With hundreds to thousands of Hostess bars in EVERY City in this country, and the fact they operate every single night of the year without incident (with this articles very rare case), fact remains, they…

Despite what happened, Campbell still feels the hostess industry is relatively safe.

Relative to what? Seems Campbell is as naive as the girls who they get here to "Just talk to men". Surely for just about every hostess bar there is a prostitution element attached and most likely run and…

All this 37 year old young man needs is just a normal relationship with a real woman. Low self-esteem and fear of commitment added with the overload of cheap, artificial ways to satisy the sexual desires is not good enough. Why can't he go out and befriend someone.In Japan, I…

The best thing about a report like this is, by the time it happens (or doesn't happen) there will be very few people around who actually read this report

True, but probably because of this exact attitude.

Any one who sweeps this sort of thing under the carpet easily and…

Got an Iphone, personaly I think its a waste of money with no return on the investment, too small to be practical. Some people interested in stocks thought it was a great tool but any trader who tried to use it for that purpose would be sure to loose money.…

Typical inconclusive info. If the Mongolians, Chinese or who ever were people who did more manual labor they would of course have stronger bones that those who do sedentary type work and the list of discrepancies goes on. Its like the nonsense that mobile phone use at a gas station…
