Leave Becky alone, she's doing her best in a really tough business. I think her secret is that she is honest, and treats other people as she would like to be treated. I'm sure her parents deserve a lot of credit for how well she turned out. The picture is…

This should be exciting for Nagoya. I'm sure Pixie is happy to get a tall man in the middle. 9 seasons in Germany will bring a lot of experience to the team.

Hopefully he'll get things turned around after the all-star break. Okajima has also struggled this season, hasn't he?

I could envision a West Coast line San Francisco LA San Diego, in addition to the same lines that pawatan mentioned. Agree with nisegaijin about coast-to-coast. Would be nice, but just not enough people would use it. Couldn't the high speed rail also be used for transporting cargo? If it…

I see a lot of posters seeming to blame the parents of children who need a transplant for not getting out the word, or lobbying the government. Just who do you think pushed the government to finally make this law. Yep, the parents of children who lost their lives because…

Sorry Stonecoldsoba, but homophobia is correct, as Osugi, who is mentioned along with Haruna, is gay, not transgender. But generally speaking, it seems to me that both of these groups, gay or trans, are more readily accepted in the J-media. Have to agree also with what sk4ek wrote.

gogogo, are you talking about Steve Ballmer? It is sad that there is an "Okama" group stereotype, but at least they are accepted in the entertainment industry. Probably a lot more than they might be in the US, where I think a lot of people are still very homophoebic.

I hate to point fingers, but I am really disappointed in Abe, both in this game and the previous game. He is just not playing well. He is definitely not a replacement for Nakazawa. I think they do have a good striker in Okazaki, if they could get him the…

But the big question is, what color will your pee be after drinking one? I remember drinking "green" beer at a bar on St. Pat's day in the States, and being amazed at the color the food coloring made my pee. Shiretoko Draft is very expensive, so I would think…

Regarding his outfit, he is probably heavily influenced by Marilyn Manson. Just a thought.
