    Remember that there must be thousands and thousands of newspaper delivery men in Japan and I'm sure their resume (c.v.) isn't so important. Can you ride a motorbike? Can you follow the same route every day? OK, you're hired. There are obviously some real losers who get such jobs (nothing against the law-abiding delivery people and nothing against the job itself which remains a useful service for those who still want to read a newspaper). One wonders how many rapes these two may have gotten away with.....

    Some tediously wordy comments here confirming that, just like a number of those in the G8 entourage, some people are better than others at adapting to different cultures.

    Agreed. Discussion and dialogue (with a couple of pandas thrown in) is certainly better than threats and accusations. Pity that many of us just look for the negative in everything. If Fukuda is the one to help improve relations with China then that's great.

    I would be happy to provide a 23-hour-a-day service for those who are going through a dry spell. No names, no nonsense and no worries!

    Also creates an absolute family tree nightmare.

    The father of her kids is also the grandfather of her kids...

    But her kids are also almost her own siblings...

    Very yucky stuff.

    Hmm, I guess you can look at it two ways...

    Everyone else is doing it so I might as well, too.

    or

    My life is pretty good compared to a lot of the people we read about here.

    Think I prefer the latter.

    Often mothers like to exaggerate what their babies can do. If she was in some maternity group, maybe the other mothers in the group were saying things like, "Taro can already roll over...sort of" or "Hanako is such a good baby, she almost never cries" and so on. So maybe this created the idea that her baby was slower. We all compare ourselves to our peers or neighbours. So sad and so stupid. But there is a lot of pressure in these groups and especially when it is a mother's first child. You never really know until you have one of your own. Every day is exciting (but kind of scary at the same time) because you never really know what the baby will do and you've never had the same experience before.

    You took the words right out of my keyboard. It has been boring enough to hear Bush waffling on about how "God guides me..." (a very scary thought considering what Bush as got everyone into) but now Clinton and Obama are getting drawn into this ridiculous topic. Granted, the questions are asked so they have to answer but when will everyone realize that the separation of God and State is so absolutely necessary (as the founding fathers were aware of so long ago). Have a read of "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. It's a real eye-opener.
