I would like to join a facility that gives joy, help, and happiness to handicapped and injured animals that are unable to fully care for themselves.

Popping mints and mouth wash are just allusions and in no way eliminate bad breath and stench; mint combined with stench can also be pretty awful to smell. Remember good dental hygiene needs time and requires a long-term commitment.

All airlines should closely monitor passenger alcohol consumption and refuse more if they believe the passanger has already had too much regardless of whether they are seated in First Class, Business Class, or other areas. This shold be written Airline Policy so the staff do not feel intimidated by the passanger's status or complaints. On long flights such as this one from NY to Delhi with a stop in Paris, the new crew should be notified of prior alcohol intake of through passengers and not start off afresh. What a pig who belongs in the gutter, not a respectable airline.

Interesting. In the US I have a floor mounted stool called "Squatty Potty" and is used to place your feet on in order to raise the height of the knees thus allowing the colon to be almost straight when compared to sitting on a conventional toilet; now the poop does not have to go around a bend prior to elimination. It is the closest compromise to a squat toilet experience, and does wonders for constipation and troublesome elimination. There is nothing better for your health than a squat toilet, just ask your doctor!!

Meaningless move by spineless countries - it won't accomplish a thing! If one is displeased with China why buy their goods and profit from China made products. These Governments need to rethink their priorities if they are to have any meaning.

Any products such as meat, seafood, or even vegitables that indicate they are from, or processed in China, I will not touch. Sometimes this becomes a challenge finding information on the label, but if I discover after purchse I do not hesitate to return the product. Beware of meat products such as chicken and beef from the USA and other countries that are sent to China for cheap processing, read the labels very carefully as this information is in very small print or often not disclosed.

Why would there ever be a need for a loaded gun versus a safe gun, on a film set?

Aside from using bathroom slippers or not, the squat toilet is the healthiest position for the body to discharge its waste. All sit-down toilets are a poor compromise in comparison. Too bad, but given the choice I would always go for a squat toilet.

IOC is absolutely disgraceful, they will bend the rules to get an extra buck. Time to throw them out.

Both the organizers and politicians are cowards afraid to face the truth and plan accordingly; on top of that the Japanese people are basically timid and are unwilling to challenge authority. So be it, the country, politicians, and organizers are in for a clear awakening for disregard for commonsense.

Tests show that if you plonk into these beds they will fail and you will end up sleeping at a sharp angle or on the floor. Perhaps you should have stayed home!

Yuuk! Now everything in the dishwasher gets contaminated with dog bacteria and germs from everything the dog has licked - use your imiganation!!

Come on, don't tell us this situation has never occurred in 40 years while operating a shinkansen? Just what is the guy supposed to do in an emergency situation? Amongst train drivers I'm sure this is standard operating procedure. Why have stupid rules that cannot be followed? This is Japan, for the same rationale why the Olympic games cannot be cancelled!

Just throw in the towel and call it quits. Do not postpone again, just quit NOW.

No one knows what the situation will be next month, in six months, or in a year or two, it's all guesswork right now based on no facts and no trends.

The costs reflect those associated with improving the lax safety standards that previously existed at the plants, and in improving the safety culture of owners and management. It truly indicates how deficient these were prior to the accident.

It's called a lack of conscience, or in other words a having a sense of right from wrong, principles, ethics, integrity, and honesty. Perhaps entirely missing in some persons through their upbringing, education, and environment.

I should clarify shonanbb's comment to "Most Hindus choose not to eat beef curry; however, beef curries are a favorite dish of the rest of the Indian population".

McDonalds and Coca Cola appear to be two of the absolute worst foods bestowed on the world by the US. We need to shut these down like cigarette smoking.

Only until we have an accident deemed not credible and low probability by the regulators; and there are many of these!!

And has the US ever apologized for the immense humanitarian loss and devastation from the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, and the like? The past is past; let's focus on the present aggressors instead.

Clearly, backing in initially is preferable to having to back out later based on visual familiarity with the parking spot, greater manuveribility of the car because the front steering wheels are not restricted by other parked cars on either side, and lastly if one has to back out the driver is essentially blind until half the car has emerged from the parking spot. Try it yourself and see!!

I wonder how many schools were surveyed? Having this number will give an idea of how widespread this practice is of student abuse and mutilation. Sounds very 3rd. World and unbecoming of Japan.

Once the aircraft doors are closed the Chief Pilot is designated the supreme authority on the aircraft. The pilot should also be investigated for bowing to frivilous demands of a passenger. Instead the passenger should have been thrown off when the aircraft returned to the gate for unrly behavior. This pilot is unfit to command an aircraft.

Having read the recent JapanToday article on how JAL prepares their flight food, one is impressed by JAL's high quality standards in that JAL does not permit foods to be served 24 hours after it has been prepared; one is also reminded that food is prepared, cooled, and then reheated prior to serving - quite an undertaking, we call those dishes left-overs at home!!

I just wonder if other airlines like UAL have any quality standards, or are they too embarassed to reveal how they manipulate the food?

I would have eaten the rice and left a thank you note!

Today the youth and their following seem to have lost their taste for classic aromas and flavours, regardless of what food they are eating. The criterion for determining if something is good seems to be based on the strange concoctions, blends, and fusions that are so proudly stirred-up by the chef. Thank you, I will stick to the true classic tastes and aromas that do not rely on my imagination!

Tut,tut; bad decision not supported by the facts which grounded the plane in the first place. With the root-cause still unknown and unresolved, the fixes just mask the original problem. Within two years this decision will be regeted!!

What stupid customers, what they don't realize is that the sushi chef just pulls it off the conveyor belt for them and makes it look freshly prepared with an extra dollop of fresh spit!!

Any strike by N. Korea will result a reaction that reduces them to an agricultural community for the next 50 years!
