Blah, Blah, Blah Japan isn't as repressed as the US in sexual attitudes, thank god. Whatever a couple allows in their relationship is their business. Personally my wife could care less if I go to a hostess club with a client, it's not really my thing. A soapland visit would not cut it by any means however. Sexual harassment on the other hand is never ok and in this respect Japan has a ways to go.

A size 0 or 2 or 4 is perfectly normal for some people and way too skinny for others. My wife is a size 0 at 105lbs and 5'1 not anorexic by any means. A friend of mine is a size 4 at 5'7 and 130lbs also not anorexic. I hate the fact that somehow people who are overweight want to justify themselves. Sure there are eating disorders but why present women the idea that being overweight is ok. By the way I didn't see the image and am not familiar with the model but her weight and height doesn't sound out of line to begin with.

So some nutter gets his jollies hitting school kids in the stomach? Sure sound like the same guy in all three incidents. I sure hope they catch him before his violence escalates.

Are the sardines too small to interest the shark? You would think the shark would scoop that tasty goodness up in one bite.

Awesome, does he get to sing any Elvis tunes? Seriously though I can't really bag on Koizumi, he was one of Japan's few charismatic leaders.

I was never a wilter but worked with a few. There was of course also the bully, the slacker, the undecider and many other office stereotypes. I was the quiet driven one that no one wanted to set off into a great maelstrom of F bombs, most people just stay out of my way. I would have a very hard time fitting into Japanese office drone culture.I'd say the problem is that the older employees are so rigid that they can't deal with the younger generation.

Awsome more moonies tie the knot, now they can panhandle money at LAX in pairs. I remember once giving a 10,000 Won note to a guy upon arriving from Korea during the financial meltdown of 1997. He looked at me like I gave him $10,000 when it was really about $9 at that time. I guess whatever floats your boat.

So this is the economy that was saved? What Bush did was no better or worse than Obama's porkulus or takeover of GM. All unnecessary generators of red ink that did not stop the economy from crashing.

Japan needs to get with the times and enforce joint custody of children. Women often use the children as a weapon and that should not be allowed.

You too can deliver impassioned speeches about nothing filled with glittering generalities.

The MOP for mopping up underground nuke labs. Money better spent on this than the missle shield that was aggrevating the Russians.

That's a lot of firepower to nail a couple of purse snatchers. Must have been a slow crime day or maybe a good day to do crimes while the police were busy chasing these two.

Pretty cool, I'm also a fan of the solar race in the US where engineering colleges build the cars that run only on solar power. These type of exercises can hatch good ideas that can be applied to passenger cars in the future.

The AE86 with some tweaking is still a drifting favorite. Maybe Toyota will actually build something cool again it's been a long time since the Supra got the axe.

Slap me someone I must be dreaming, I actually agree with Chavez. What exactly merits the peace prize, pulling troops out of Iraq and moving them to Afghanistan? I don't disagree with the policy, it just doesn't merit a nobel peace prize. You would compare Obama to Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel and Mother Theresa? Please, what was the peace prize committee thinking?

Very sad, but why only the daughter if he was driving with 3 children? Whatever the case if he's guilty he should rot in jail the rest of his life before he gets to rot in hell for eternity.
