Please read the following before answering . . .

As a 17 year-old Japanese I am absolutely appalled by this news. It is nauseating. I can understand that the west is upset about our whale-eating tradition, but please, whatever evidence the Australians have, we’re not stupid enough to not realize the uniqueness and preciousness of the world’s only white whale. We would rather explore the beauty of such an animal through observing it in its natural habitat, unharmed and untouched, and sharing it with the whole of Japan through the media. This is what we have always done with seals, whales, and penguins that have accidentally arrived in parts of Japan such as Tokyo Bay, which were rare occurrences. I have seen the news myself. All we did was observe their activities, and make sure they returned to their homes safely.

I mean, do you know some people who are too wordy and use descriptions you don't care to hear or just aren't necessary?

Am i the only one? I admit i am impatient but i have no time/patients for little details. It goes through my ears as 'blah blah blah blah'.

I just want to know what I asked, ya know lol.

Surely we as men have our own idea of what looks good. So I see a good looking man, and I respect that beauty. Is there something wrong with that?

I'm sure girls do the same, but it's not bad.

I work at this restaurant, and I've known so many women who were managers that were total idiots. Most become serious queen divas, or get so stressed that they make everyone's job harder. I went to school and was taught everyone is equal and all that, but it's just not true. Women are bad leaders. Either they are incompetent or they go on serious ego trips. Even the worst, laziest boss I've had that was a man was more reliable than the best woman.

I'm a co-manager at the restaurant now, but the manager above me is a woman and she's seriously hurting the place. The owner just doesn't see it yet. It's the second of a franchise, and the other one has a male manager that I feel more comfortable with as a leader. I feel like I'm cleaning up this chick's mistakes one after the other at the other one.

i do. Personally i believe that teaching history teaches people to be racist, cruel and selfish.
Because first i remember being in Kindergarden and not knowing the difference between black, white, brown, or anything else i thought everyone was all equal and this world is a happy and safe place to be. But then history started and i learned how cruel people are and how different everyone finds each other and i started seeing the difference between white, black, brown (not in a bad way) just that theres a difference. I know alot of you people would say no they dont see it well i know you do .. everyone does its right in front of your eyes unless your blind i mean its not like i wake up everyday and say oh his brown or his black or oh his white just that we know theres a difference. learning history shows that white people were always in power because they were..well white.. and then larning about holocaust is just creeeeepy it can really move a person and some people arent strong enough t

The detail in European buildings are so much better looking than what Australia, America etc have produced. You would think with time going on we would become smarter and with better technology we would be making even better buildings now? But now everyone is making plain boxes for buildings.

Only Dubai really seems to be doing something original with the futuristic look. I say be old looking or be really futuristic. In the middle is just really boring.

This guy sits in his car from like 4 pm until 8-10pm just blasting his bass/woofer, and i live in an older house(1940's) and it feels like it's an earthquake.

he so inconsiderate. we called the fuzz and when they came he turned it down and then back up after they left.
there's no talking to this guy, as he is a cholo and will retaliate, not to mention give away who called the fuzz on him!
my husband is an online student, too.
what can i do? any info/eperience on dealing w/ these idiots is welcomed.

It's hard to believe in 2007 this kinda thing still goes on in America. I just happen to notice this Racist Capitalistic Pig of a business having a very Racist sign in FULL view of everyone. I went to the City, they were NOT interested in my complaint so I went to the manager of the laundry mat and said: WTH ...why do you have such a RACIST sign up in your STORE (then he played dumb) and said WHAT RACIST SIGN..I said the one above the washing machines that says: WHITE ONLY...this is NOT 1950 in Selma Alabama...he LAUGHED in my FACE!!!!!!!!

What would you do to fight this???

I need a couple of songs (2-3) about drugs. I need it for an assignment. My teacher was telling me about a very popular 80's song that was about all about drugs, and it was by this wierd band...I know thats not a very good description of the song, but if anyone knows it, or any other songs, and they can be from the 60's, 70's doesnt matter, that would be great!
Thank you!
