As I have read in a guide book (I did not went there) it is possible to eat fresh fish in stalls and small restaurants in Tsukiji. This is also banned now? Because I thought, this is the business which gets money from Tourists?

I've read Kirino's novels, too - Out, Grotesque and Real World (in translation). Out is my favorite of the three, but I don't think you can say Grotesque is a bad novel, it's just an very unpleasant novel.

Big surprise the US doesn't want to ban the weapons; it might put Martin Lockheed in some financial difficulties, and as such the government officials with their hands in the weapons trade business. Who cares that it's 90% + civilians being killed/maimed by the bomblets? It's not in the US,…

Why do people buy stuff they can't afford?

If they hadn't done so, it would have been evident "our great economy" wasn't in such hot shape after all a lot earlier.

In the past, if a mortgage broker made a loan to someone who subsequently defaulted, it would affect his…

sarge: "Actually would-be homeowners. They should rent, like me. Why do people buy stuff they can't afford?"

I agree with you, to an extent, but I also agree with the logic that if you're going to be paying a whole lot of money each month for living, it may as…
