you're putting yourself out there goddog. Insulting us by saying no one can make a hamburger while planning on opening your own restaurant? Please tell us where and when the grand opening is. Let us find out for ourselves just how amazing your burgers are.

tried a Sasebo burger last year after hearing how wonderful it was. Most tasteless piece of s**t I've ever had.
The best hamburger I've had that wasn't from McDonalds or Burger King was from a guy in Osaka selling them for 500¥ outside a strip club. Had all the fixins and was charbroiled. The guy was from St.Louis.
Western food in Japan, for the most part sucks a*s anyway Always Japanized to some degree in a bad way. Give me a Big Mac any day. TMarie I'm with you 100%.

I'm sure in many cases people choose to be homeless for whatever reason. Other times it's through no fault of their own. But when a society doesn't give you much of a reason to climb out of a hole you're in other than to shame you into non existence, it's no wonder the problem is as big as it is.
Money will never solve this problem. Taking the time to care and respect everyone as equal no matter what their social standing in life is will go much further than a fistful of dollars ever will.

Australia or England would be my choice. Canada would be an excellent choice. Not just because all the facilities are already in place but it's also the only way we'll ever qualify for the damn thing!

I was on a flight from JFK to Heathrow about 15 years ago. Sitting in the same row on the opposite side of the plane was a Hasidic Jew rocking back and forth in prayer kind of like they do in front of the Wailing wall. I thought he was having an epileptic fit. I'd never seen someone act like he did before. I got out of my seat and told the flight attendant. She told me what he was doing and said she sees it all the time. Sure I felt like a complete idiot but how was I to know if I'd never seen it before?
Same with this crew and passengers. If they never saw this done before how are they to know what he's doing.
As far as not giving a clear answer. If he was in the middle of a prayer he most likely wouldn't interrupt it to explain what he was doing but wait until after he finished.
In today's world any "weird" actions or activity by a passenger on a plane is going to cause excitement and panic.

they don't have to be over 30. Ironically I just smashed into a 20-something guy on a bicycle while riding my own because he was looking at his keitai while riding out of his driveway. didn't see him until it was too late. The lack of safety in "safe Japan" is unbelievable. Sure it's unfortunate the woman died, even IF it may have been her fault and even more so that the driver took off. But what's it going to take to make people aware of the dangers of being utterly brainless when deciding to go for a bike ride, a walk down to the park, or a nice relaxing drive? Common sense doesn't seem to be helping.

It's ok cracphat. I knew what you meant ;)
Any chance of Kameda leaving Japan and facing some serious competition went out the window with this "victory".

I don't think it's just Asia eagerly awaiting the results of the draw. I think everyone is.
I like the attitude of the Asian coaches though except for that line about Japan not looking brilliant but having more stable strength. Unfortunately when you get to the WC level stable strength will only get you to the round-robin stage. You have to be brilliant if you're going to win or at least compete with the best of the rest.
And a bit off topic...hopefully the French repeat their performance of 2002. They don't deserve to be there. Slante!

elsewhere on this site was a question or article asking or talking about what the chances were the guy who committed this murder would be caught. Someone made a comment saying the most likely way he would be caught would be if he were arrested in connection to another crime. Whoever that was........nice call.
This murder happened a couple doors down from a couple students of mine. They were really shaken up about it. R.I.P. Ogino san.

Hopefully it will be, as one man said, a positive change and not a one time event. Gotta love the editorializing in this comment 'asked a particularly combative lawmaker, Renho, who goes by only one name'. Combative for asking questions that people want to know the answer to? Or combative because the person DARED to ask a politician who, as we all know, is in a position of power and influence and should never be questioned because they know what's right for the rest of us peasants? And good on the Saitama Taxi driver for his comment.

"A child who is loved does not become depressed.".
This from a TRAINED PROFESSIONAL who, I'm assuming went to Uni and studied and didn't get her degree from a Froot Loops box,pun intended. The article says there are no easy answers why children are in despair according to specialists. Well one answer, or a good start, might be not to let quacks like these practice.
I think it's about time the Japanese look inside themselves and ask some serious questions about their society, beliefs, and what they truly want. Maybe not being so afraid of the outside world and looking for answers there too might be of some help.

Geez...what else is the guy supposed to say? "Uh...well compared to the rest of the countries we suck but you know....GAMBATTE!" Give the guy a break. So what if he's deluding himself. The players on the field will dictate whether they make it that far or not.
At least they're in the finals, unlike all my teams. Don't even get me started on Ireland not going!
