    "A recent poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 12 percent of respondents believe the Democrat is Muslim."

    ie. 12 percent of respondents are complete idiots and bigots, who can only ASSUME what someone's beliefs are based on their name (oh, and in…

    It's a shame this is turning into a nationalistic rant of a thread, but I guess it can't be helped when it comes to the Olympics.

    As to all you people on here thrashing ExPrinceska for her comments, I say don't bother; she simply stated her personal feelings when it…

    Mindyou: "smithinjapan. I don't care how many countries play baseball or not. Out of the countries playing baseball it was Japan who won it. This makes Japan the World Champions."

    And yet in another comment you tried to compare baseball's crappy and meaningless World Classic with soccer's World Cup, and…

    It's hilarious watching the Japanese women put the men to shame! The Japanese women actually TRY when their on the offensive, and SCORED A GOAL! What's more, they're threatening constantly to score more. The men? hahahaha.

    Anyway, it's been a pretty exciting game so far.

    A 1-0 score is not even close to appropriate to describe with 'mows down'. It was a boring game, but boring because both sides stuck to it and did well in the field, etc.

    Pukey: It was a silly comment, and it's hard to tell the intonation without all the kitschy Japanese emoticons, so it could border on negative for all I know (ie. a slant towards the Chinese, etc.). Anyway, my knickers are in a twist from the humidity, not from what you…

    Pukey: You're kidding. Did you watch the games at all? Fukuhara squealed like a 2 year old every time she got a point. SOME other players made noises for sure, especially towards the end of the matches, but they were a few decibals quieter.

    Ossan: Oh... you remember that? funny,…

    Pukey: Here's a news flash... there are Chinese AROUND THE WORLD; which is to say, people of Chinese ethnicity. Granted, when born overseas they are often given names sounding more common in the target country, but there are still many who do not. Anyway, Yo Kan could well be a…

    I watched all the table tennis games today (well, to be more honest, my TV was on in the background while I worked at home), and I have to say none of these was very exciting. The first match with Hirano was by far the most lively, but even then…

    mindyou: oh, and if it really is a 'world sport', why is it baseball is not in the next olympics? not that Japan would do well, anyway, but they sure have cried about it a lot.

    I'm looking forward to baseball being finished, and happy Japan didn't win the game…
