Posted in: Abe expresses outrage at IS video purportedly showing Goto being beheaded See in context

Why do Isis, this evil terrorist organisation always fade to black at the beheading part? Are they worried about offending? Why is there never any blood? Why are the victims always so calm? Watch the videos they are all the same. Something is rotten in Denmark...

Without the beheadings would anyone in the west really care about ISIS in the Middle East? It seems that the only people who are benefiting from these beheadings are the politicians in the west who have a clear interest in gaining public anger at the beheadings... Think about it.

Get rid of Article 9. It was made over 75 years ago. Japan and the world has long since changed!

Posted in: Is being in an international marriage any more or less difficult than a "regular" marriage? What are some issues that you think might torpedo an international marriage (or relationship)? See in context

I have 2 children with my wife and we had sex today!I think it's a bit of a cop out to think it's all Japanese wives. Maybe it's you. Maybe you're not doing what makes your wife happy. So rather than introspection you take the easy route of thinking its part of the culture for women to be like that after kids.

Thunderbird, I think he means people who are in their 30s 40s 50s and have never married might be deemed unwanted goods or may be crazy... Not my opinion though.

I think at the end of the day, it all depends on the woman that you married. I'm lucky to be married to an amazing woman.

I often wonder about this whole sexless marriage debate as my marriage doesn't have that problem and other people I've spoken to haven't got that problem even after multiple children... I wonder if it's something people like to say but isn't necessarily true.

Posted in: U.S. slaps sanctions on North Korea after Sony hack See in context

Lol. Does anyone really think we will see an invasion of NK in our lifetimes? There's nothing of worth in NK, resources wise, so why would the U.S. Waste money and resources on them. That's the reason nothing has been done about NK for the last 50 years!! If it was all about freeing countries from harsh regimes NK would have been invaded before Iraq. But it's all about the oil!

If North Korea had valuable natural resources they would have been invaded a long time ago.However, they have nothing and China and South Korea do not want the floods of refugees any conflict would create, so the West does nothing! The ruling family of North Korea have been much worse than Saddam!

Posted in: Britain may turn into Europe's most politically unpredictable country See in context

I for one am praying for UKIP to win next year. The EU has, over the last forty years, grown into a tyrannical beast that no one in the UK voted to be a part of... Open door immigration is complete lunacy when considering the future of the UK and its people... The only people who truly see the benefits of the EU are big businesses and not the working class communities who have been sold down the river time and time again by politicians...What's next? An EU armed forces? Oh, it's already here... The EU experiment has failed and the UK should go it alone to make trade pacts with commonwealth countries...

I think it is funny how we in the west are constantly thinking that we are in danger from terrorists because of one event that happened over 13 years ago... There have have been a lot, a lot, a lot more school shootings in the U.S.A since then. Read Orwells 1984. Youre living it people.
