Should read " we created ". The intent of the protest vessels is to hamper the whalers and whether the motive is right or wrong still puts every one in harms way. There would surely be no way this would have happened if they were not pursuing the whaler in the first place.

What is a virtual group? Is it The Virtual Group or a group that is virtualised what ever that could mean, or is it a group of people who are avatars and not real people at all, or is it a group of people who sit in an office and the only contact with them is via email or chat or automated responses etc. Do they accept virtual money?

So does this mean I can have my opinion as long as you don't have to listen to it whilst every one is expected to listen to yours. Am I and others allowed to express our opinions if they differ to yours? It appears not. It also appears there are many who don't agree with you either for various reasons.
At least it appears that most agree that its pretty lousy thing to happen to the poor girl event if for different reasons.
Moderator: Readers, please stay on topic and focus your comments on what is in the story.

Boy/Girl friend or not, every one has the right to reject advances of the other person for friendship or sex. A more important question here is where did this kid get his ideas from? Does mom and dad teach him anything useful or are they the example he followed in this case. I think its stems from a deeper social issue but does not excuse him either.
Sorry, but there are some of us that believe sex is for husbands and wives only. People have their own free will so you can believe what you want but you have just imposed your opinion on the whole world as to what constitutes a girl/boy friend relationship.

100% agree, especially when you pay Qantas fares and get code shared on a bargain basement flight. Which of course begs the question, How does a crappy blanket, a couple of beers and tepid meal constitute the difference of approx $1000? So have people been ripped off for a long time and Jestar puts it right (except Qantas owns Jetstar)or do they cut cost on maintenance also?
BTW Whos Becky? Why would I want to meet her/him?
And racist

Maybe the trio were actually funny and thus not in line with the rest of the comedians and needed to be corrected. (probably not)

Old Japanese men (bosses) can communicate? Sure, mostly silly old bullies. Young people have their heads in the mobile phone and jyuku too much so no social skills being developed. On top of it who wants to go wasting their time drinking away the days earnings with bosses and kissing their arses. Not to mention about a hundred other social problems that add to this situation.

When I got my computer Vista was supposed to be so much better than XP which was supposed to be better than 2000 and so on down the line and yet none of them seem to stack up against the reliability and speed of linux which you can get for free. Its a pitty that linux is not as versatile with drivers etc. Anyway, so how much better is windows 7 than vista when after the show they are now telling us that Vista was rubbish but it was said to be the answer to all, will 7 be touted as a terrible OS when win 8 comes out just like Vista? Sounds all a bit sales like to me. Strangely most tests reveal that XP is significantly faster than Vista and 7 so how does that work eh?

Noted that foriegners expect the Japanese market to cater to them for sizing yet they constitute such a small percentage of the cash flow here so why would you really expect any thing to be marketed to foreigners at all? We just fall outside the demographics of their business on many items which is the same as Japanese people trying to buy clothes in other countries.

The last thing that went through his mind? Thats easy, I've heard that Joke before. Shinchan obviously had a bad rep because when I nick named a neighbors kid Crayon Shinchan for good reason, his mother started to hate me.

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 relys on the purchase of oil (all oil is bought and sold in USD) to keep it going so they can continue to print money with no asset backing. I would be surprised if the US would fall in line with the idea of cutting emissions and thus possibly de-functing Japans initiative. Of course there is nothing to stop Japan from leading the way and showing that cutting emissions is also a financial benefit to economy stimulus.

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 a post drunken party sexual encounter and the other implies that a mans penis is the determining factor in a relationship. Honestly, what sort of rubbish article is this they are publishing for us?

Interesting that abuse is higher but discipline, from my observation is lower and in many cases non existent.

Or maybe he's just plain nuts. "All he needs" is probably an under assessment of the his mentality.

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. The phone service is way expensive and the 3G net connection is woefully slow and battery life is sooooo short. Can't wait till the 2 year contract is up and stop paying the monthly fee that could have been more usefully spent. Won't make that sort of stupid mistake too often again I hope.

What an idiot, its such a stupid scam. Did he see it on Mchales Navy? (oops showing my age). They must be doing a hell of a job teaching in uni. New job selection criterias should be "Must not have been to university" based on this story.

There certainly is a lynch mob here, same old thing they say "its the parents fault hang them", "no matter what the reason, the man was stupid because he fell off the boat" and the list goes on. Pretty hard to deduce from most stories what the who truth is but lets just hang them any way regardless of the life long suffering of the mother in this case who will certainly be scared for life.

They don't get it, if a woman flashed a man it would be more likely he would get excited and she wanted him but these fellas have not worked out it does not work the other way, in fact opposite.
