I wake up always before eathquakes. Even if just tiny. We have almost no earthquakes where I come from, maybe once in 50 years. And still little. Maybe people, who grew up in quake-less areas (sorry for my English), are more sensitive to tremors. I have to add that I…

I lived only seven years in communism, but that was already enough for me. And what I heard from my family (who lived under communist terror for 45 years), made me hate it even more. If you want Christmas to be forbidden, if you want to get picked up by…

Before trying to control the conbini, they should rather regulate the companies which force overtime work, or skycrapers with lights turned on almost all night long, although they are all empty, or the misuse of airconditioners, and the list goes on and on and on...

And I totally agree with…

I don't give a damn how kid's bodies mature, or how they feel responsibility or not. They are CHILDREN! And since we are the adults, who SHOULD feel responsibility, and feel disgusted just by hearing about any such thing. That man just needed a slight chance, and he already took…

I'm a swimming coach, and nobody from our company does ever wear a suit. Of course, we are mostly swimming coaches, trainers and such, but even the owner of the company (who owns quite a few businesses all over Tokyo) never wears a suit. Wearing a suit each and every…

How many people here have been to Iran?

Everybody is whining about Iran having some nuclear plants, or trying to mace it's own nuclear compounds, but... how come nobody is whining about Israel for example. Having over a hundred nuclear WARheads.
