manfromamerica said:
sitting next to a smoker during lunch is NOT risky, so don't exaggerate.
so alan ask:
Sitting next to how many smokers during how many lunches is NOT risky?
i think it simple and direct question but you still can not answer him as direct as he ask you!
If you are always sitting next to smokers, you need to change restaurants, or sit in the non-smoking section.

Somalia has a tradition of music and most residents greeted the ban with dismay.
The Islamists frequently assassinate those who defy them or carry out Shariah-based punishments like amputating limbs.

Posted in: Neither side willing to compromise in Thailand after deadly clashes See in context
i was in that country during Thaksin in power. I think, it is not as easy as many think. "just give them election" will not just work! at less for this time.
we have seen election just over a year ago and the winner didn't win it that much. Then they try to bring back Thaksin. and they end up being in trouble them-self because that upset the anti-corruption portion of the country and the opposition parties also keep bringing in all available law to deal with every PM candidate for the past corruption and vote buying cases. which was very truth and very effective tool to deal with thaksin and his people. every one in that country know how corrupt thaksin government was. it was just onone can do a thing when thaksin and his people in power. thaksin was the law himself (with unlimited supply of money). it ended up that a small group of parliamentary representative from thaksin's camp switched the side. and a small group is enough to bring down pro-thaksin government.
when the anti-thaksin won the first round, now we see the pro-thaksin come to town asking for their right.
if the anti-thaksin government step down, we will see pro-thaksin celebrate for a while and they will try to bring thaksin back to rob the country again. next we will see anti-thaksin back to town doing just about the same thing as we see today.
yes, Thaksin got a lot of populist programs like cheap medical care, loans and other financial breaks. which brought in a lot of support from the north and northeast. it sound good too, but if you see it in detail, you will find that the bid winner in "all" of those good government project ended up being taken control and managed by either thaksin family, thaksin and friends business until some people couldn't take it any more that was the begining of anti-thaksin campaign when I was there.
it will always be those gain and loose. and thais act just like what the word thai really mean that why all of their government can please only their own divisions, not the country as one.
election won't help any more until some consensus on how democracy should work has been sat and most importantly "agree" by both side then the parliament can lead the country as a country. Not thaksin's country or anti-thaksin's country.

why do Miyahara seem so worry about that? or this guy just worry that the local over there will still be able to have the fist but japanese can't? come on you take 80% of the world stock for many year already. cut that80% and let the local have the rest20% or even lower that would help the local and the fish.

yep, the same comment back at you too. it all start with the worlds you choose. they can keep act as they do and the majority can keep look away, and you can also choose to say that they are... whatever you want. thank for free speech that the muslim try to destroy.

If you don't respect someone, don't expect him to respect you in return.
i do agree, but i know many muslim haven't been taught that. fear is what many of them thing that it will earn them respect.
Your are free to speak and free to insult whoever you want.
now i don't really agree with that. the court is there for people to sue one another for any racial insults. the free world has it system.
to me it is not thing bad for the cartoon. the press is the social best mirror. if the refection is bad needless to blame the mirror. that is what i believe.
if the muslim didn't act as bad as they have done, but they were in fact the nice guy. then some press try to paint them black. it need no muslim to do the action.

sorry a lot of mis-take above, i click submit too fast.
if you are willing to accept immigrants, therefore different cultures, you should be able to also adapt.
it can be hard to find anyone able to adapt after see what happen to VanGogh! in fact the word "adapt" should go for foreigner such as us in japan.
Now what I read in above posts, are rants against Muslims.
i don't think all of them do so. sometime people telling the truth, but some people view it as discrimination. truth should not be view as discrimination.
The caricatures were not constructive. Just p*ssing people off and both side fundamentalists and right-wingers were just happy to exploit it as much as possible. This was just plain stupid. Not because I'm scared of Muslims but because it was completely unnecessary.
if it unnecessary to keep our value, in this case freespeech, then what is necessary to be in a social that believe in it?
it might not be as constructive in your eyes but it is to some that see a need to telling the muslim how stinky their name are right now. and it is a freespeech for some other. the muslims don't like it? make some catoon or film, make fun of the west. well, they did it in some country, and it is totally ok. but definitely not what happen to VanGogh.
they come to the social that believe in freespeech, what are they expecting to see? if they get piss off that easy, will that be any of my problem? if i get piss off equality easy, will that be any of their problem? if it isn't illegal why do anyone have to take it too serious? if they can not understand this simple idea why did they bother to leave home?
i don't think people should limit their right specially in their home country just because the muslim doesn't like it.

Rep Paul Kanjorski
we had a great deal of faith in something that was stamped ‘Made in Japan.’”
and this is the real MADE IN JAPAN's answers.
Rep Elijah Cummings, He asked why Americans “should pay hard-earned money on a Toyota in hard economic times?”
"I sincerely regret that some people actually encountered accidents in their vehicles," said Toyoda.
Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., asked Toyoda whether U.S. regulators should require automakers to report all defects throughout the globe.
Toyoda gave a lengthy response through his translator, promising to "minimize those troubles," Bilbray became flustered.
Rep. Brian Bilbray, "In all fairness, I'd just like a yes or no,"
Toyoda quickly said through the translator that the company would "extend full cooperation."
Bilbray shot back, "We'll take that as a yes."!!
ha ha! give them tough questions or even not tough one, they can always manage to answer you something that has nothing to do with what you ask. it certainly is another made in japan culture you should put your faith on Rep Paul Kanjorski and anyone out there that believe so much on the word "Made in Japan"
