"Do we ever learn anything?"

Seems history would answer that question with a resounding "NO".

Agreed, China is the new Japan. When it implodes everyone will react with shock and then start talking about how they had warned everyone this could happen. Bottom line, the powers that make China magical…

With all due respect TheQuestion, I disagree that a respectful bow is so out of line with US custom. I further doubt that anyone, rabid rightwingers aside, consider this bow to be the subservience of a king's subject. On the contrary, most people seem to regard this as little more…

syaka. You will eat those words I promise you. China has a dreadful record on human and political rights. Just ask any Uyghur, Tibetan or other minority group in China. Their military have countless weapons pointed at Taiwan who are an independent country held hostage by military threat. Something I…

I fully agree. This is the DPJ trying to differentiate itself and win confidence from conservative Japanese. It doesn't bode well for their ability to govern if they are already so afraid to make decisions.

Sarge and sfjp330. Insults are only insults when they represent inaccurate information. Palin's performance during the last election and her denial of reality and fact in her book call her intellectual prowes and capability into significant question.

Perhaps a better phrasing would help.

Sarah Palin has demonstrated inadequate experience, intellect…

A professor once told me that the masses were incapable of making good decisions without the strong presence of an intelligencia to assure they made good decisions. I had always been an advocate of the people and their right to choose their leadership. I have always had a kind of…

I am American and I will tell you very honestly. More Americans need to get off the farm in Wyoming and see some of the world. Too many Americans think that the US is the only place on earth with electricity, food and warm places to sleep. It is this…

"i am really sorry to say this but some of the men here start to sound like they are jealous of Ichihashi."

To be very candid. Any girl stupid and brainless enough to think Ishihashi is kawaii, kakoi, desirable, good, sexy or any other positive word you may like to…
