    I find it ironic that a lot of people criticizing how the Japanese learn English probably can't speak Japanese too well either.

    QFT.

    Now, people realize their working conditions are an important problem

    Yeah. Now.

    Not when their parents and teachers told them to pay attention in school and learn something useful.

    Not after they finished (or dropped out of) school when they had time to learn skills for something better.

    Not when they were temping and could see that they were spinning their wheels in a dead end job.

    Not when they spent all their money on booze and gambling when they could have been saving.

    Now they care.

    And they think I should, too.

    Funny.

    Maybe Japan is not such a violent country.

    no. off the mark on that one

    You're right. I should clarify: The foreigners who "teach" it.

    This interview is a confirmation of the whacked out self-importance that Ono and so many of the 60's hippies have about themselves. She was married to a man that struck it rich and was himself a self-absorbed narcisist. She is a singer who can't sing - there isn't much more to say about the woman.

    That's very true.

    If there's one thing that makes me happy about the passage of time, it's knowing that it's going to silence the self-absorbed babbling of most of the 60s hippies before very much longer.

    The people who teach it.

    I just wonder what the suicide rate's going to be for 2008/2009?? Something horrendous I'd imagine. Not that too many posters here would give a damn.

    Would it make you happier if I told you I was staying awake nights worrying about some temp workers I've never met who finally realized they'd pissed away most of their chances in life and decided to just give up rather than picking themselves up and trying again?

    Yeah, those temp guys are so right. Better the whole company fail and put everyone out of work than let go of a few "temp" workers who only have a job in the first place because of their temp status.

    If these sumo wrestlers had any imagination, they'd say the got it from members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

    What is the emperor saying?

    If he's not saying it, I'll bet he's certainly thinking:

    "My father was worshiped as a living god. Now here I am at yet another crappy event having to smile like an idiot day in and day out just to keep these slack jawed yokels happy so they won't turn me out on the street. What sins did I commit in a past life for karma to screw me like this?"

    I don't think she's really trying. Perhaps she lacks sufficient motivation.

    Note that except for the man in front of the emperor, all the other are women.

    Pathetic old women with nothing better to do with their lives.

    However, I do like the expression on that guy's face. It says: "I waited all that time for this?"

    Court records show Angela Suleman filed for bankruptcy last March, but after she failed to make required payments and appear at a creditors’ meeting, the case was dismissed. She reported liabilities of $981,371, mostly money owed on two houses she owns in Whittier.

    I were in charge I'd let her have as many kids as she wanted. But I wouldn't give her a dime of taxpayer money to support them.

    As the guy in Akihabara showed, if someone with a knife or sword really wants to kill people, he can.

    Waiving and threatening people (while enough for a very long stretch in prison) shows this guy wasn't really out to kill people.

    Canada, despite their protests to the contrary, isn't really "foreign". It's more like America Jr.

    Fist pumping.

    Next, the winners might even start smiling.

    The sacred sport of Sumo is ruined.

    See what comes from letting foreigners in the dohyo?

    Actually, the "kill-my-kids-and-then-myself" approach to problem solving is not so unusual in Japan.
