Don't you understand, women and minorities won't complain when they win. Only complain when they don't win and that they didn't win enough.

Japanese people love eggs. It is our dna, haha. I can say a few times I have been to USA, and friends have made deviled eggs at the bbq party or backyard eating with friends. They have a slightly strange taste, different, but not so bad.

Yoga is good for flexibility, stretching, and helping to bring peace to your life. Someone expecting more than that sounds like the quacks who get diagnosed with cancer and decide to fly to South America and pay a ton of money for a "healer" to pull the cancer from your body using his fingers.

As dangerous as mountain climbing can be (depends on the mountain since not all are created equal), you could liken it to playing baseball with your friends from work. Meaning that, if you and your mates go to the nearby field to play, there's no rules or enforcement that players have minimum years of baseball experience and training. And mountain climbing is similar in that way, however way way way more potentially life threatening.

You can show up at Mount Fuji and any of our other many mountains in Crocs, skinny jeans and a t-shirt, or in professional gear. You can be a veteran climber or a new one. You won't be refused. You are pretty much left to make up your own mind, "Can I do this?"

The easily answered points are mentioned above - if the mountain is closed (weather, season, etc) and you ignore the official notice, you should be 100% charged. If the mountain was open, I guess it's a bit more complicated. Not experienced is most of the people who climb Mt. Fuji. They do it just to say they do it. So you could argue they shouldn't be there, and thus should have to pay.

Actually, I don't understand these royals. If being a royal is such a legitimate honor and all that nonsense, then by being so easily willing to throw it away to marry a lowly commoner, it shows a lack of respect for the royal life and privledge you've been so blessed with.

I think with the daily stabbings we see daily in the news now, it can be said that if someone wants to kill someone, they will use anything they can to achieve their goals.

Nike, Adidas, and these lines of shoes are not luxury footwear. Luxury isn't based solely on the price tag. Rarity also does not equal luxury. You could have the very first pair of canvas Vans slip on sneakers ever made, unworn in the original box. They would be valuable and ultra rare. But not even close to luxurious.

Seems China is acting - they're getting rid of their fire ant problem by sending them to Japan.

This article might as well left out any mention of what goes behind putting together concerts/fesitvals, because they ultra simplify it to the point of it being total bs. It's a hell of a lot more than 2 people sitting at a desk - it's about a baker's dozen and that's just to get the ball rolling.

Lineups aren't going to be so easily swayed just because people have amassed cryptocurrency (or even buckets of cash). It has to do with album cycles, current avails, tour routing, and a plethora of other metrics.

Promoters don't need to "ask the fans" because they use Pollstar, Ticketmaster and some other tools to know how many tickets were sold in any given city/state/country and venue and can gauge how well an artist will do in any given market (A, B, C), hard ticket vs soft, and so forth.

I see no major issue with using blockchain compared to paper/electronic ticketing. But it's not going to sway pwoer away from Live Nation/Ticketmaster or AEG who collectively own (or buy up) most of the major/indie festivals and large venues you go to nowadays.

Interesting point, Sam Whitte. It's been awhile since many famous people stood high on that pedestal and pronounced their departure from America if Trump wins. Haven't seen any E-News, TMZ, etc articles reporting the pilgrimage of dozens of actors, musicians, etc from the USA.

With Hollywood, and the entertainment industry in general, there's no such thing as office hours. Business gets done at all hours of the day and night, at bars, restaurants, clubs, homes, hotels and in-office. So yes, it's been going on since the beginning - both the varying places of conducting business AND offering roles for sex (and it's been men/men, men/women, women/women, women/men).

Kinda hard to say since none of us sat in on the meeting.

Since there's never been a single Olympic games which ever broke even, perhaps a better business model would be to have all participating countries finance the Olympics. There are ways to scale the financial burden to each country depending on host country, and team size of participating teams. Would make it way more likely to even everything out at the end of the games.

Hollywood cares about its own - that's it. Once they get that SAG card, a few hits under their belt and the money comes pouring it, they shed their Average Joe/Jane persona. Hollywood loves to tell YOU how you should live.

Anything is possible, but the problem is she's going to need to prove such an outlandish defense. Is Ms. McGowan admiting to accidentally leaving her wallet behind or suggesting her wallet was stolen from her belonging while on the plane? Who found the wallet, and how many people had hands on it before it made its way to the police?

If YOU just want to kill someone, start with yourself.

Oh no, is Japan worried they may be the next country to actually defend themselves?

Japanese people would stand to gain quite a bit if they had mandatory military service as they do in South Korea - the men and women. Would put these same "adults" in a bit more mature and responsible light, rather than worrying about which of the friends have been to Tokyo Disney the most times, talking in loooooooong drawn out nosies rather than words, and all the other general immaturity that follows many Japanese into their late 20s.

Just abandon the Japan market and ramp up your profits in plenty of other asian countires who are way more welcoming. Or just start a food delivery service like Uber did.

If someone wakes up today hellbent on killing you or a member of the general public - they will attept to do it by any means or tools at their disposal...car, knife, baseball bat, poison, bare hands, etc.

When you can say an underage girl equals 19 years old, that's just plain silly. It defies logic. 18 years old seem to be the globally accepted norm of becoming an adult in civilized societies. If she can't make her own choices and say no to some body telling her to drink more, then she'll already destined down the path of professional victim (aggressive boyfriends, perverted bosses, regret of signing the porn contract, etc).

Koyama is a spineless sack of meat. Looks like annoying guy who buzzes your door trying to colect from NHK. Point of refenence Japanese - an apology doesn't mean anything if you have to be told to do it.

Delivery companies are typically really good with customer service. Not such the case when dealing with physical stores. Many clothes stores for women will ask you to double check the size is correct because they won't take returns (should it matter if on sale or not?). If they do take a return, you have to jump thru fiery hoops to do it. Most retails stores in Japan have an attitude as if they are doing you a favor for letting you shop there.

Some movies are flexible/adaptable in removing/adding core charachters. Adding more Ghostbusters to the team doesn't detract from the story or cause confusion (or downright impossibility). Telling a new tale to the Oceans' series, no issue.

Why can't a woman be Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Jack Reacher, or Spiderman? Because they were always men. These are gender specific characters within the movie. Terminator - can be male or female (and have been) because it's varying models of robots which can mimic men and women. Karate Kid - can be male and female (and has been). Julie was not Daniel. Two totally different people. And Spiderman is not a group of Spider people who are part of a collective.

Create characters for women. They can be soft and vulnerable. Tough and badass. But for Christ's sake, get over this PC BS.

She must have spent a small fortune on air fresheners.

As usual, perhaps if women actually reported these things when they occur, and if people would help one another, rather than sit in silence, this type of behavior would not be accepted as "oh well, what can you do?"

Driving is a prilledge, not a basic human right. No government should be required to create alternatives for people who can no longer do something THEY want to do. Some of you people want this utopia where all your hopes and dreams are catered for 24/7.

If they are so loyal to Pyongyang, why not move there and then you can see how great you have it here.

The type of person who doesn't have or want a credit card is gonna be the same type who doesn't shop online.

How does Aikatsu say this survery helps to the women they cater to? Because women want to know that 75 of their fellow female coworkers are screwing other coworkers? Sounds more like a survery done by a men's group to give its followers dating advice at the workplace.

How's about including a psychological exam along with all the other components of obtaining a drivers license in Japan (regardless of citizenship when applying).
