So you would do it none the less if there were no other options?
Why is this story such a surprise to people, its not new in any part of the world and particularly Asia. Of course does not make it right either.

So if you scold them they will go home and cut their wrists and kill them selves which is worse than them taking anothers life, hmmm interesting morals. I have noticed a high percentage of fathers who are concerned with nothing more than work and are a ghost at home, really young mothers who live for their kids because they have a ghost husband and the kids are considered the most important person in the family and thus are never corrected. I bet there are a few other kids English teachers out there who have been used more as a father role than teacher. Hahaha that could be taken a couple of ways ehhh!!!

Lady tester? what if she fails? If you got a Lady tester and a Man Tester you could send the machines to a cafe and they would be a perfect match. Then they could stay at home and email their friends just like they would have if they had gone to the cafe them selves.

Maybe the interrogation vids had to be destroyed because they showed the bush family with all their know terrorist mates having a good ole time aroiund the BBQ. "Hey, remember all those guns you sold us real cheap?"

Me neither, it would not make any politicians speech more coherent or truthful. I'm a pretty light drinker but it is certainly the alcohol which makes merry the hearts of men and it would be hard to drink for the taste I imagine.

I would never fly Jetstar or Qantas again if I can avoid. Didn't want to but had to fly back to Oz for am emergency visit and bought a Qantas ticket full price and got stuck on a Jetstar code share. Supposedly I got all the things that a Qantas ticket buy but not true. Paid premium for a bargain basement flight. Some fault of JTB for not informing me that it was a code share. Further more the jet had panels coming loose on the interior and the passenger light was faulty, God only knows what else was wrong with the jet. Accidents are caused by many small combined factors usually. Just be sure you never get code shared on a jetstar flight. I would fly just about any other service than jetstar because of my concerns with their maintenance alone which didn't even get a reply when I wrote to Qantas.

Dead right samuraiiki, you get some money and somehow some salesman, relative, friend, enemy, govt departments ........ can smell it and want it even though you never advertised. When you don't have it its only credit card companies that come around asking you to spend some one elses money. Any way the old fella sounded mean and died mean. Reap what you sow.

I like the marketed aspect of J pop in as much as appearance is important so we are not insulted by people who think you paid for a concert to see them not even be bothered to dress in much more than sandles and jeans but the musical talent of jpop is of such a low standard its disgusting. I am insulted that pro musos who get no recognition except money, do high quality backing tapes for little girls or boys who just sing and dance karaoke poorly. I know the karaoke style happens all over the world but how often do you see a real band in Jpop. I guess money talks.

Its fine for them to be harmlessly weird but definitely weird. Honestly, socializing with a paper bag on your head? Do they draw a face on the paper bag?

Well driving into a restaurant is an accident for sure and reversing etc is an accident for sure but I would not mind $1 for every time some Japanese has walked directly behind me while parking my car and have often wondered how many of these people have been run over because of doing that, I am sure its more prevalent in Japan. Just like crossing the road with out looking at all. Is this my imagination?

telecaster player must not see tele much. Australia has some of the most beautiful scenery and outdoor things, but music shops are not so hot for tele or any players.

6 months in a beautiful resort, you would meet heaps of new people and whats so special about having a career? it makes you no better or worse than any one else. Besides, meet the right people, and plenty of the right people go there, and it may just be the greatest career move in the world if your into careers.

Its only typical of all armed forces. Theres no news in any of this. Next story will be "Self Defence Forces Wives Prostitution"-the poor husbands never knew their wives were in business till she popped out of the cake at the Ships Party(not that that ruined their party).

If they made good cars they would probably not fail. Its ironic that the nation who so often claims to protect people and nations has a Govt that bails out the companies that make vehicles that are so polluting that they can destroy the world with green house gasses. I would have thought its a good opportunity to set the industry in a direction of innovation but rather they decided to pay big $ for tradition.

Ahh yes the wonderful aspects of Japanese religions, work harder to get a better place in heaven (commonly know as Jacobs Ladder theology), the lack of any loving Gods but rather scary ones of death etc. Yes lets share that with the world, just what it needs. And all those homeless ones, we will leave them up to the Christian or Western influenced organizations to feed. In fact the US did learn from Japanese religion when Hirohito was the Emperor which right or wrong led to the dropping of the first atomic weapons. I think we have learnt from Japanese religions already.

1000yen/hr not bad wages for doing nothing. Is there anything actually wrong with employing people to do that apart from just opinion? I think that money could be helpful for many people in this economic time and advertising is not generally considered wrong.
