skyrocketing? Ger REAL, thats an a exaggeration. its Mandarin that is in demand. DON'T Get me wong, I LOVE Japanese i just wanna share my thoughts. way TOO Many people study japanese for corny/ Dumb reasons manga & anime are a couple of them. REMEMBER most REAL JP- Fans DO NOT want it to become popular in America. YES im an American & LOVE my country, but they do Always GO Overboard on popular songs & things, & would just Ruin it.

that would be hard with the us Dollar / Money. yes very wrong. in the US its always been a problem, there was once a guy who was drawing 100 Dollar bills by hand & got away with it for 7 years. sooner or later you will get caught. so if you have ONE 20 Dollar bill from change & you turn it in, you get Nothing in return, so most people will just try to spend it to get rid of it.

well IF Australia was bigger in defence it wouldn't be asking for US. also don't say the US is "war mongering" china is the one building up military. & most asian countries Don't Trust. china has NO actually Enemies. so expanding for what?! USA,Japan,UK & other countries MADE china rich. outsourcing Jobs to it. a NATO in Asia? sounds like a Good idea. china is the war monger here. Most countries in Asia question them, for Obvious Reasons.

i don't see why Russia wants the northern islands they have NO use for them & Russia has the biggest land mass of any country on Earth. Japan is NO threat to them so whats so great about these islands? Bombers is a wrong stupid move on Russias part. Not many countries trust Russia. the only ones that do are, Iran,china,North Korea & Lybia. what does that tell you?

Posted in: Ten years on, do you believe al-Qaida was responsible for the events of 9/11? See in context
YES they did! its Obvious they had done many Terrorists attacks before 2001. sep/11th was huge so some think it was the "First terrorist attack" ever. Duh! hard to beleieve the Government would spend Billions to "make Billions" we don't get any oil from afghanistan! IF they (US gov) did it, then WHY 4 planes? one attack on the city/ WTC would have been enough for War. there still many Terrorists attacks to this day! Terrorist attacks are done by Brainwashed cowards! bin laden was a coward who was Hiding. "message to Terrorists everywhere, you can Run.. But you can not hide"

This is done in the states also. the main reason to share with others so they can talk about it, theres usually pictures in Restaurants & it help me decide what i want. but doing this evryday would be crazy. (johninnaha ) "If it seems curious, it's probably because for most Americans, food isn't something that's given much attention. It's just another bodily function" you are an Idiot! what does this have to do with Food in the US? theres fast food in MANY countries. & Many TOP restaurants in the US!
