Wakayama: more concerned about covering up dolphin culls than child abuse judging by the two year delay in dealing with this dickhead dad.

Mikihouse: not at all Three against one sounds like typical young punk attacks. Happens against whoever they meet; old men, guys walking solo, gaijin. Whoever. If this dude wasn't a celebrity this wouldn't make the news so Mikihouse what do you mean generally?

True until he renewed his contract. Not so true when you remember the Yomiuri Giants Baltimore Orioles link up. Matsui said , No!

Well he chose to play in this armpit. What does he expect? Had his chance to escape to a team with hope but chose comfort and mediocrity. Great playing who won't really ever know what it's like to be on the best team in the world. Kinda like John Stockton minus the post season play.

laugh away, you asked for proof and you got it. You quote the SS site when when it suits you so there it is. you posted no evidence about the strength of acid SS uses.

Cause it forms an opinion based on appearance. Same as fat, bald or mongoloid. What people look like shouldn't draw comments from strangers in polite company.

In your mind perhaps. Not according to tectonics it's not. JAL is boringly bland both in terms of food and service. Best service is SA but they use old Qantas planes. Korean Air has the best food, crappy wine menu though. Personally choose Oceanic carriers for friendly personalised service. Best Asian one is Singapore, might be the airport has something to do with it.

Can you google? "Conspiracy Theory #3 -The Rotten Butter Sabotage
The Japanese public relations firm hired to depict anti-whalers as terrorists has tried to exaggerate the stink bombs Sea Shepherd crew tossed onto the deck of the Nisshin Maru. The Japanese always refer to it as "acid" tossed on the deck. This conveys an image of sulphuric acid eating its way through metal and thus the acid ate its way through the steel deck and onto machinery thus starting the fire.
Sea Shepherd Response: The stink bombs were made from diluted butyric acid which is, in fact, less acidic than citric acid. Butyric acid is butter acid and has the smell of rancid butter. It does not eat through metal. It just smells bad."

which is diluted. Ossan your passion for the pro whalers is well known but propaganda myth spreading goes both ways.

Time served and here's to reading Paete's book when it comes out. Political pressure on the New ZEaland government from Pete's supporters will be welcome although John Key is so far in with the Asian leaders he won't be able to hear anything till he comes up for air.

This same technique was used by Japan in the 40's to bomb the states. One bomb blew up a 10 year old girl on a church picnic in Oregon. There really is nothing new under the sun.

Dutch played for goals and Japan played defense, the better team won. Japan could have but were too timid until it was too late. Now depends on Denmark as to whether Nippon can advance.
