  Bit irritated about the "we" WMD. Shouldn't that be "I"? Never done drugs, never will.

  How little you know. Actually "diplomat" is a coverall term. To describe all diplomats as knowing nothing is actually inaccurate. In reality, the staff of any embassy is usually comprised of people from a number of government industries. As such, agriculture counsellors come from ag ministries, economic counsellors come from…

  This is not such a rare occurence, anybody who raises chickens will tell you that such things occur on occasion. The opposite of this is double yoke eggs.

  Although it is good to know that deaths are down, I have never really liked this fascination with body counts - theirs and ours. If the US wants to remain in the region, casualties come with the deal. If it wants to get out of Iraq, there are consequences to…

  Pretty unusual to see a Japanese diplomat get up from the missionary position to criticize the US, he must have gagged on something. Also, considering that it took Japan more than 10 years to address its own bubble economy (and the aftermath), it is pretty funny that this guy is…

  This report will be buried. Don't look for it to be widely discussed in the local press. Wouldn't want to disturb the "wa" would we? There are so many forms of discrimination in this country that the report would have to match a series of the encyclopedia brittancia to cover…

  Sounds like the Japanese exchange student that got knocked about 10-15 years ago. Mistook the word "freeze" for "please." This story really sux, wonder what caused the homeowner to open up on the kids.

  Up again, down again. Every get the feeling that these doctors are holding people to ransom? So much for the oath they take. Hypocrites rather than Hippocrates! Responsibilty be damned. Obviously, they put the former mayor over a barrel and he complied (raising their salaries and closing down important medical…

  "bought from a foreigner" - isn't this excuse well beyond its use-by-date. Moreover, the official translation is actually "alien". Perhaps this girl is doing so much cannabis that she is seeing little green men.

  And when it comes around to interrogating her, the excuse will be "I wanted to die myself, but....." Heard it a million times before. Then again, talk of home bugging, etc. seems to imply that this woman is a few takoyaki short of a full complement.
