Yeah, it's just like how 15 year old girls can work at Hooters in America because they're just serving up wings.

If they're going to have Invisible Man on the list, they should have Native Son, too. Those two books should be read together.

It's like a CIA agent walking into the Russian embassy and saying, "Here's a copy of all of our state secrets. Also, here's a ton of money. Please take it!"

Wait, wait... He paid them for the malware? Isn't that the other way around? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Snow Crash? Or hell, anything by Neal Stephenson for that matter.

Where the hell do they find people who drink only six cups of coffee per day?

How many years?

How about making birth control widely available to any woman and/or condoms available to any man or woman who wants them? No questions asked. No judgement.

That's funny. In college, I was taught to slow down, re-read sentences where necessary and use critical thinking/reading skills whenever reading. I'm not saying that it's bad to read quickly, but that's only a minor reading skill.

Japan as a country is not aggressively pursuing immigration, but corporations are a different matter. Companies these days understand that the work force is getting smaller and that there's lots of talent in nearby countries who would kill for the opportunity to work here.

That's why I mentioned language. If you're not learning the language, then you're not really even trying to learn the culture. (And in the case of Japanese, if you're not learning kanji, you're not really learning the language.)

There are three types of foreigners you generally see in Asian countries: people who are just on vacation there, people who live there but who don't bother to learn the language or culture and people who live there and work hard to learn the language and the culture.

Now, now, let's give Mr. Wakita credit. At least the upskirt pictures he was taking were of a woman whose age was a 2-digit number that started with a 2. That's more than you can say for a lot of people who do that kind of thing.

Lupin's head shouldn't be so shiny...

I don't like AKB48 either, but I usually just jokingly call them AKB48,000 and suggest that it's really a conspiracy for world domination.

There were only like 5,000 people back then. Everyone was prominent.

How could there not be life on other planets?

That's another reason why handguns shouldn't have hair triggers. A child that age shouldn't physically be capable of pulling a trigger.

Skittles (which you can get in Hong Kong or Taiwan), Lucky Charms cereal, Corn Pops cereal (just about any kind of cereal, really), Twizzlers, Tic Tacs (also available elsewhere in Asia), Cheez-Its, Nyquil (eh, it's kind of a snack), Fruit Roll-Ups... the list goes on and on...

Actresses? Try body doubles.
