Posted in: Trump, Swift join Super Bowl party as Chiefs chase 'three-peat' See in context

Mahomes, Kelce, Swift, and the Chiefs are beyond tiresome. I hope Philly puts a good beating on them like they did Washington.

@JJE Care to point it out? I see none of what you're talking about.

For all of you saying the US doesn't need Canada, I suggest you look into it that a little more as you're completely wrong.

Umm, no.

In a country already with limited space, they'd be expecting too much.

Japanese consumers need to learn to boycott chains, brands, industries that price gouge and hoard.

Well that's that. He apologized. All's forgiven... until the next theft and subsequent apology.

That's ok. I'm guessing 90% plus of the world view China negatively.

I think Trump should bring them to the table and try to understand where all the angst comes from and why they're so confrontational to the US and their surrounding neighbors. After that, give them a massive stimulus package so Kim and his family can go on living like royalty all the while the citizens starve to death and suffer. Reward their misbehaviour.

It's guys like this that make me wish that the Japanese penal system inmates meted out their own kind of justice behind bars like in some other countries.

Needs to get the boot. Enough with this clown already. He's going for broke setting the bar so low in the LDP and that's a pretty low bar already.

Probably dozed off and wasn't able to leave earlier.

Posted in: I spoke to 100 Japanese seniors, and learnt the secret to a good retirement is a good working life See in context

@Kohakuebisu I thought the exact same thing.

Men here general become invisible when children are born and literally become just a source of income for the wife and kids. Meanwhile, he's given a pittance by the wife for his own personal use as women control the finances of the family. It really is a horrible existence, and it's no wonder why marriage is on the decrease and divorce on the increase.

I guess it's up to the younger generations to break that mold and find a better work-life balance so they don't end up like the above.

Posted in: As stars of hip-hop approach their golden years, can old blood make new music? See in context

Was just listening The Biz, MC Shan, and Marley Marl joints just yesterday. Nothing will beat pre-2000 beats and flows.

So can old blood make new music? Better than anyone that's been on the mic for the past 15 years be sure.

Posted in: Raygun retires from breaking after 'upsetting' Olympic backlash See in context

She made a complete mockery and farce of the art on the global stage. The face she kept making during the competition too...total taking the piss face if there ever was one.

I feel sorry those in Australia who can actually break but didn't get the opportunity to represent their country in proper, respectful manner.

No loss here people.

Why 29:00? Why not 05:00? Anything beyond 24:00 is just strange looking.

I chuckled at the description for Ginkgo trees, " ...resistant to air pollution". Yeah, that's because they're the ones causing it! Those trees reek of dog poop. Beautiful to look at though...the leaves, not poop.

How about we cut back on politicians in that area? I'll take the trees over them any day.

Posted in: 'Luffy’ gang member goes on trial for robbery, murder of 90-year-old woman See in context

@YeahRight Sadly, there are people on this planet that carry no such sense of gulit and never will. And I rather not foot the bill through tax payers yen to keep them alive till they're 90 with four walls, and three square meals.

Once you commit murder willingly, especially of child or elderly age, you forfeit the right to breathe the same air as me. Period.

Start implementing public lashings or humiliation (rotten tomato throwing) for behaviour like this. Or Tubers and their ilk have their channels deleted instantly on doing anything like this. Most likely the only way they'll learn.

She should be fined and denied any visitation rights for the rest of her life. Don't let the door hit your backside on the way out!

Starting off right by protecting politicos from the same ilk I see.

Japanese politicians...more crooked than a dog's hind leg.

Posted in: Are foreign YouTubers in Japan worth a 'like' and 'subscribe'? See in context

If you're one of those out in the public walking Tubers, follow social norms and don't be shooting on trains and whatnot and putting people on video who don't want to be on video. Don't think "this is a public space" is going to save you. Won't with me.

Follow social norms wherever you go. Don't be a douche.

@Kishida Spot on observation. Looks like he has all the smarts and charisma of a Mori.

I'll take a head of lettuce over this mook.

A suggestion JT, how about hyperlinking referred to content in other articles?

You mentioned the number of deaths due to heatstroke and this summer being the hottest record. Both of those have individual articles which could be hyperlinked for those interested. - My two cents

Can't stand this woman.

8 years is enough. Should be a law against serving more than two terms across the global political spectrum.
