I am a martial artist of many years and was hoping for something deeper when seeing the headline... but enjoyed the article anyway. Having good honest fun in life is way superior to breaking bones and being super serious

the scary thing is that OLS will see it as a way to diet..no need to eat! just plug in 3 times a week.....
human anatomy is carefully designed and the digestive process from the point of smelling food, muclse contaction of the jaw muscles to enzyme release ,movement of the stomach and intestines to its end is linked to many other body rhythms..brain waves, sleep etc.....
ok maybe once a month maybe...but yeah, just one slip up and some mislabelling mishap and the biz will collapse overnight!

A move Long overdue..GM has been limping along for years now but its just been a matter of national pride to let it remain untouched..until now.
It will take some radical fundamental shifts to make a long lasting and highly competitive GM...it may even become unrecognisable except for the name itself...but this will be the only way forward. They will have to cooperate more in the developing countries economies,shifing more production closer to the cheap labour and crank out more green technologies, produce cheap ass cars for India, and steal designs from japan
Maybe they should train up 1000s local staff and send them all to Brazil and China to live!

Posted in: Women always want to shop. You want to have the fun of shopping, like in a candy store. I don't think that any of the Japanese companies really realize that.

Im in china now and Nissan and Honda have massive facilities in this province. The markets are so huge they name the car brand after the city name like BeijingHonda...and demand is still high. Foreign companies have to come in as joint ventures with local companies so the technology transfer is happening rapidly. Hell theres even a chinese F1 car engine being developed...chinese produced cars are being marked to head for the US. its just a matter of time

I dont believe him..70 times? thats once amonth over 5 years?? possible yes..plausible,no
he could claim 700 but can only be convicted for the one they have evidence of...so why not set a record while your getting busted
Definitely a sicko anyway...lock him in a chastity belt and throw away the key

wow, good news, I can safely crawl the streets of roppongi again...i spend half my time detecting them in advance and avoiding them in a cat and mouse or just plain ignoring them.
I think if each store was limited to 1 or 2 touts then it might strike a balance and add some atmosphere at the same time..but otherwise it puts me right off...even those masaji girls can get demanding,grabbing yur arms etc...but once again 1 or 2 is tolerable...
So now where do these guys go ?? will they be waiting indoors to hit you up even harder for that bottle of Dom P.??

I hate to admit it but I enjoy a lot more JTV than I used to...it must be a lowering of the intellectual defenses over time...
It started with geting hooked on Yoshimoto Gekijo, a kansai stage comedy series by Yoshimoto Kogyo. Living in Kansai for a while had me learning Osaka-ben and as a lot of comedy comes in rapaid-fire kansai dialect I had to crack the code. Once I did, that show had me in stitches. Charlie Hammers signature was to walk into a house announcing "Gomen Kusai" (sorry it stinks)instead of gomen kudasai (excuse me) . And with each "Ochi" punchline of jokes throughout, the whole stage of actors would fall to the floor to emphasise the pun "Ochi" - which also means to fall. It was brilliant!
Once my Japanese got good enough to actually pick up what the hell Beat Takeshi was saying on his Tokyo shows...I was amazed at his quik wit and sharp sense of humour.I realised that guy has some real ability... in between the stupid toilet and boob jokes that is.
And now what do we find?? TV programs copying Japanese style game shows in the UK and US !! what a turn that is!
I still agree with most of the anti-comments as it took me about 5 or 6 years of gut wrenching abhorrence of the TV in Japan before I started looking at it differently..and theyve even cleaned up their act. No longer do female guests on talk shows have cameras doing close ups on their panties and down their tops as in the good ol days...

Interesting that only Egypt ordered pigs slaughtered...with chicken flu they were immediately culled by the 1000s and same with foot and mouth disease in cattle and Mad cow disease....

oh yeah what happend to the "Aisai Bento"? the lunch box ur loving wife makes for you?...i learnt about that in basic japanese classes 20 years ago (woops, time flies!)
People seem to look on marriage as all doom and gloom. Thats an individual choice to make the most of whatever situation youre in.
If we are selfish and seek our happiness in our own needs then ,yes, we will be sad when in a marriage. If you look at your family as a way to extend your love and grow it, then no matter what job you do ,you will make a positive of life.
but yes, the young women these days seem to be very selfish and just wanting the benefits of a stable income...this is the comeback in human evolution to balance out times when the mans needs were catered for by a doting housewife. I welcome the next stage of cooperation and selflessness. Bring it on! (before i get married please)

Hold on this article says that the men around 50 dont have much luxury while the women around 40 (single?) enjoy nice lunches....
well, given the choice I am sure most of these men at 50 would rather go for the 500yen noodles than the 3000 italian setto in Ginza anyway!
Lets face it, chicks love their fancy lunches, they get major thrills from it! Dudes, especially at 50...dont. they would rather skimp on lunch so they can go fishing or golfing! Ok im sure they would like a few more hundred yen or wanna go somewhere nicer once a week ..... but these guys are commited to their families and know the sacrifices they are making are for the family!
instead, the article starts drawing selfish lines between males and females as if enemies fighting for their own individual benefits, thats not fair. In marriage they are both working hard, life is hard people, we should be supporting them ,not taking shots at them

sit them down make them cup of tea and listen to all their problems, suck through your teeth a lot...and realise that the poor fella has a right to stand in the rain outside a window if he wants to, and looking through your garbage is just a way to show how much he really cares....stalkers are just misunderstood people like you and me. stalkers need love too!
then quickly handcuff the retard, beat the living sh*t outa them and hand them over to the cops so they can really understand how their selfish actions are totally unaacceptable
