San_Diegan comments

As far as being Unconstitutional, it is so past time in changing that Post War U.S. imposed piece of toilet paper. Nobody wants a war (outside of the military industrial complex that can sell more hardware), but how does one prevent it? Not by carrying peace signs and wringing your hands, that is for sure.

It is about time Japan takes steps in the right direction in taking responsibility in keeping the peace in their part of the world. Sticking there collective head in the sand and letting others protect them is unfair. Ideally, there will be a day when the majority of the US bases are no longer US bases because Japan is fulfilling their own responsibility of protecting themselves.

NO!! refugees of the WORLD, Stay and FIX your OWN country. FREEDOM is NOT FREE.

YES, SOME of you may die. DIE FREE!!

wow! I really liked this slim and evocative article and the varied comments! In my almost 40 plus years of associating with Japanese, I've had many a lively conversation concerning religion/ spirituality. I've found most Japanese to be almost militant against religion yet, adamantly spiritual.

Timtak: I have one from allexpresss.com. Works great. As you say, at a most inexpensive price. The price they pay in Japan is hugely inflated. Of course, what do you expect from a country that sales $50 watermelons like hotcakes and have sheeple that buy them? I do think the Iphone bracket in ingenious. That being said, I'd rather shoot myself in the head then post anything shot with a low quality smartphone video. So gaucharie.

Don't mess with the successful template. But, like SPEED said, come up with a new series... One that is British, Black... and Gay. ... and just for giggles a weight-challenged midget. (boy, fearing the Moderator's deleted "message removal notice" I had to rewrite that several times).

I've worked at several companies here in San Diego alongside of gays. They were all very technically proficient. Unfortunately, there soft skills really... sucked! Some of them were watching Gay Porn at work! I noticed that most of them were in constant conflict with so many people around them.Me being curious, started observing more discernibly. What I gathered was that most of them spoke of their sexuality, even at work, and then had a huge chip on their shoulder concerning authority. I've come to the conclusion that people who publicly declare their sexuality, gay or straight are drama queens and disruptive to any organization. It is natural that species devolve in some areas. This is one of them.

Wow! This article makes me feel old. I remember when it was 360 yen to the dollar. It was always a hot steamy night in front of the trainstation.

As far as the fears of the slowdown in China.... it is inevitable. And how soon and how deep is the BIG Question.

Wow. Like they don't know what is in there? Come on. I bet they know down to the number of dustballs.

Ony 10? I am impressed.

It was Justified.

And BertieWooster, up untl now, I thought you were smart. Or, are you baiting me? And why hasn't the mediator removed your trolling statement?

I'm impressed (actually dismayed) at how they don't name him. I did a quick google and all reporting (so called journalistic sites) don't name him.

Hey Cabron El Stupido Elduba.~ Sound like your Home Town, huh?

Not much new here.

I did iike what she said, “You cannot say you are a specialist of Japan, or another country, because you always have things to learn. I don’t think yet that I understand Japanese culture fully.”

Hell, I am was born and raised here and I know I am no specialist even now. I am always learning something new. And not understanding Japanese culture fully is a great acknowledgement. Hell, 99.99999% of us do not understand our own culture fully. So, don't feel bad (which I don't think she does. Humble, yes).

Whoa!! So many questions are brought up.

eight children? Blended family? His, hers? a. Most of them hers and met her where? b. How long they been married?

Poor children.

Uh... that was canned laughter wasn't it?

Wow! The world is boggling my mind. Like Toshiko says, I will know to practice my "strong regret."

I wonder where the bullet came down at. People have died from bullets shot into the air.

Selfish, Selfish~~....

"At no time in my life have I ever felt as gloriously free and supremely happy as when wandering the streets of Shinsaibashi at night. If there is any place on earth where my spirit can be said to eternally reside,"

Wow. Great writing Damian Flanagan. I am impressed. Very good description of how I used to feel at different locations under different situations. As far as the city life, I have to say, "each to their own."

I was interested! But, then lost interest. Did a little research and found out like Kuribo1 says. it is a spoof.

Ensure you read all the way down to the bottom.

To be truthful, I was hoping it was true. Darn it. Even if the upper assembly couldn't take the pressure of firing a life round the lower could still be used. But, like the above link points out, it would still take some modifications for it to work. If your handy with a drill press and know how to assemble the lower assembly parts... Then just drop an upper on it which are not regulated like the lowers (no serial numbers or Federal Firearm License, background check to purchase). Kind of scary.

Whoa! I laughed so hard I cried!!! I can relate to some of them... One letter or vowel make can make all the difference! Like, "Hage-sesei," or "Chikan," versus "Chikin." Somebody hand me a tissue!

Others I don't know if it is appropriate without a warning. Hello JT! Minors might be reading this!! (ROFL) "Chinko Nabe!!""

Thanks JT! Next time I get a chance, I am going to use some of these! (still laughing)

What a way to die! Beautiful one moment and Hell the next!

So much wasted effort.

Somebody needs some serious help. Please find them before it is some little kid.

Uh..... I knew two of the army guys. It wasn't due to any stress from being overseas but, from coming back and finding their wife boffing somebody else. Curious too. Doesn't Japan have like one of the highest suicide rates for a developed country.

Nancy!! Thank you so much! "The global media landscape is overwhelmingly privatized, commercialized, homogenized, and controlled by media companies whose first priority is making money for their shareholders," I love that syntax. I am quoting you on my blog, sheeples.org . I've always said, "If you want to know the true agenda, follow the money." Of course, I was just regurgitating something I'd heard somewhere before. Thanks for the snappy syntax. It hit's the snake on the head.

Aaw.... Cramping my Narcissism.

Let the Circus begin!!

Right on Mocheake!

Such small mindedness.

badmanApr. 10, 2015 - 09:05AM JS lol how many native speakers speak with perfect pronunciation?

Ditto on That! A Californian is lost in North Carolia.... I forgot the rest of the joke.... but, I am sure one can imagine.

Perfectionism is sometimes considered a liability.
