Well I've been here for over 1000 years, give or take, and heard just about everything I guess. I'm not bothered by words one bit.

Good Gawd, what biased crap.

The 47-year-old vessel is expected to be decommissioned next year, the U.S. Navy said. The Kitty Hawk took part in many key U.S. military operations since being commissioned in 1961, such as bombings of Hanoi during the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq in…

judicial system never works as we would like it to. If it did no country would have drug lords, king pins, arms dealers and all those people that lurk in the back streets of society that roam free to do what they please. Mind you Japan's judicial system is rather…

I really feel for these victims of earthquake in China. But do the Chinese feel the same for Burmese cyclone victims? If yes, their leader should get out of the way of the UN to take action against burmese regime who stops the international aid from coming into Burma/Myanmar.

As ex-Navy, I well recall the times my ship ran plane guard duty for the Kitty Hawk in the South China Sea.

Back then, she was affectionately called by other nicknames besides "Battlecat." Kitty-Crapper and Sh*tty Kitty being just two.

They all work in the Flets 100 yen shop near my house. I swear I just bought a pair of cheap sunglasses from all of them.

My views are to keep militarism and nationalistic displays which, however tacitly, endorse militarism under very tight limits. Especially when dealing with very impressionable young people. For that reason, a teacher should never have to be given some sort of "national loyalty" requirement as a condition of employment. And God…

I would rather be called baka than gaijin from a Japanese person. Yes it is racist. Japanese people say it's not racist "it's how japanese people are" they say but I've hear how Japanese use the word, the way they use it, their tone of voice so to me it's…

I'm with you. I can't support it because of the chance of killing an innocent.

Where Japan is concerned, you only need to ask one question:

Do you think it is okay, in any circumstances to kill an innocent person?

If you answer no to that, then you cannot…
