A Japanese and Chinese Major

Archive for September, 2007

This is in regards to a post I read on digg.  Yakuza have always been respected and feared. They are by no means the Mafia or Chinese Triads. Everyone who wants to join just because you like sony and think that what happens in the movies happens in real life, you are idiots.
Im sure this woman has gone through alot in her life and I am interested in Japanese cultures and sub cultures. She provides an interesting window into one of the sub cultures that never gets an honest face. So i doubt her father is going to kill her as long as she presents it honestly and without fallacy. If she only focuses on the negative aspects or disrespected the organization as a whole then an example woud have already been made.

Japan has always had this attitude towards whaling. There’s no *need* to whale because demand is so low. The stocks of whale meat far outstrip the demand. Yet, Japan insists that it be allowed to resume commercial whaling.

They’ve given aid to poor, third-world countries and in return those countries have joined the IWC and tipped the balance of power towards the pro-whaling countries. This amounts to nothing more than bribes. Japan carries out “scientific whaling” which is simply commercial whaling in a very poor disguise.

This is a cultural problem. Japan seems to think it has the right to drive whales to extinction. I seriously can’t understand their preoccupation with whaling.

Although I agree that we should change our stance in Iraq, I don’t believe that we should completely pull out. The problem is that civil war is almost certain. This leaves whatever resources that are left to the winner. I just don’t believe that you can allow just anyone to control such a huge oil supply. Unfortunately, this sucks, but it’s a reality. Further and more importantly, we need to monitor the conflict to check any ensuing genocidal ambitions are not carried out.

The way you beat votes like this is by having a little armed band of militants — did I say armed? — no, a band of merry pranksters with a mailing list. At the right time, send out a mass mailing, saying, “Hey, there’s a vote, go ahead and vote! Use a friend’s cell phone to vote twice,” etc. The Ron Paul people are motivated and can easily mold the results. I was on a MoveOn list just like this in ’04. There were competitions on places like MSNBC. Some poll would appear, and Bush would surge to the lead because FreeRepublic or another right-wing website had put up the news. So then the MoveOn — I think it was them, but 2004 seems so long ago — voting would begin, and we’d surge in a few minutes and overwhelm them. Then the other side would notice that and push the meter the other way.

We won every vote I participated in, and MSNBC took their polls down the next morning. It was just a target for clicks, boys.

That said, Ron Paul was very good last night, exposing the idiocy of FOX, and the GOP contestants for “How Long Can YOU Stay in Iraq?”

As Vietnam was winding down, Nixon ran on “Peace… with Honor,” whatever that means. We were warned over and over again that the sky would fall, that untold billions of Asians would curse America while they fell beneath the boot of communists, and you wouldn’t even be able to get a good spring roll anymore in the U.S. None of it turned out to be true. Yes, there was Cambodia, which fell to the Khmer Rouge once our bombing got Prince Sihanouk out of there. Who were they saved by? The Vietnamese Army, of course. Where are the dominoes that fell? Laos and Burma are under the boot of their drug-financed, and oil-financed militaries. Not communist, a heroin dictatorship and an oil dictatorship. If the Republic of Vietnam had won — how, I don’t know — there would still be those semi-feudal military regimes back in the hinterlands.

Best thing we could do is get the hell out.

Bushisms were famous before the man even entered the White House. But with his presidency entering its twilight phase, there is no end, it seems, to the steady supply of inadvertent slips of the tongue.

Yesterday he had reached only the third sentence of his address to an audience at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe.

“Thank you for being such a fine host for the Opec summit,” Mr Bush said to the Australian prime minister, John Howard, confusing two completely different groupings of nations. “Apec summit,” he quickly corrected himself.

He then joked that Mr Howard had invited him to the Opec summit next year (for the record, an impossibility, since neither Australia nor the US are members of the oil exporting cartel).

That slip paled in comparison with the next gaffe – a slip of the tongue that placed Austrian, not Australian, troops in Iraq.

Talking about Mr Howard’s visit to Iraq last year to thank his country’s soldiers serving there, Bush called them “Austrian troops”.

That one was fixed for him, with the official text released by the White House switching it to “Australian”. Tapes of the speech, however, clearly show Mr Bush saying “Austrian”.

Then, speech done, Mr Bush confidently headed out – the wrong way. He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Mr Howard and others redirected the president to where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theatre.

Protecting Bush, I heard that it was something like $45 Million for the Security.
Added to the cost of Airforce 1 — they bring a complete backup Airforce 1 (not Airforce 2 — that is the name of the VP’s plane). On board a C5A, there is Marine One, and Cadillac 1 (no kidding — he brings his own car and it’s named after the brand). 4 Chefs and 1 master cook. About 700 people in his entourage in total.

All this effort and work, so that the Decider can thank everyone for coming to OPEC (which is probably the important event anyway that the Oil Companies are in on — wink, wink) and can pretend to be interested as he bumbles through another meeting he has no interest in attending.

What I want to know is; what is the point? Everyone knows he is an idiot — or a good actor pretending to be an idiot. Do I really care if he is Doctor Evil and that he’s pretending to be dumb? No. Either way he is a liability to America’s good will in the world. This is like salt in the wound. Like having a full on collision with a clown car that you get to see in slow motion and it takes 8 f’ing years. And still, after you break a hip and get surgery — people are just going to laugh because you hit a fricken’ clown car. America will seem like idiots — because we were led by one.

Just like all the well-crafted Photo Ops that this administration does — it doesn’t matter if Bush is or isn’t an idiot. He seems like one. What is the point in sending him on this trip to Australia. Everyone knows the emperor has no clothes. The people who LIKE Bush, would be impressed if he cut some brush or just kicked a kid in the nuts. The people who don’t like Bush — know about the expensive trip and know that he was a total embarrassment. A spoiled Rich kid idiot who picks his nose at the reception with the Queen (she detests him by the way — for just these reasons). Then the fawning peons of the Royal Court, go on about how August he was and the way he took charge, demanding the French serve him hot dawgs — a real, Royal Knee Slapper.

Then I think about that money, and it could have built a bridge that collapsed — or it could have funded all the School Lunch programs that were cut.

Twist the knife. Just keep parading this foppish oaf around — what fun. These frat boys from hell must smoke cigars and love not only the Billions upon Billions they’ve stolen — but how the rubbed our noses in it, and all we “smarty-pants” high and mighty middle-class citizens couldn’t do anything about it. These people are sadists, and they get off on humiliating people — I just know it. It isn’t enough to put us in a costly, useless war, it isn’t enough merely to spend all the money earmarked to rebuild the Gulf Coast on out-of-state contractors, it isn’t enough to cut funds to any government program that works so that it fails and you can spend more money on your friends.

No, the Bush Administration has to take video of torture. To spend Millions on protecting a buffoon. To divide everyone up by blaming one group than another. To take photo ops with the Insurgents that used to bomb our troops while they blame the Maliki government in Iraq for the problems — you know, our former allies who were stupid enough to have some faith in America after the former Bush told everyone to rise up, and then let Saddam murder over a million people.

It’s a 5-way pileup with a convention of Clown Cars.

Here’s what I love about Wind Power:
The fuel (Wind) is prepaid (Free) for life
No rail cars, trains, semi trucks, bulldozers, excavators, miners, mines, refineries, etc. for supplies year round.
No Pollution, period.
Can be placed in the middle of a cornfield, or a pasture, in the ocean and does not disturb anything around it. (I have pictures of cows resting below Mitsubishi turbines and Hawks flying around GE 1.5 units.)
Silent. I’ve stood underneath GE 1.5MW, Seimens 2.3MW and Mitsubishi 1.0 MW units.

And they don’t chop birds out of the sky like people think. In Texas with an average 8m/s wind I counted 15 RPM all the time.

The earth may be heating up, who is to say its man made. There are at least two sides to every story. Knowing that the US legislative branch is behind many years of rest of the civilized world, its a wonder they have caught on so fast. The main reason for that is the money to be made from taxing people for using fuels that emit co2. The who basis for global climate change is that its man made when in fact co2 is a product of higher temperatures. Co2 comes out of every living organism on the planet. So to follow the thought of the idiots trying to tax us to death and to save the world, in order to stop their global warming we need to kill every living thing that emits co2 and then the humans can live forever in a world just built for them because they deserve it. Humans are so smart they can make bombs to kill each other hundreds of thousands of miles away. Hurray for mankind, god knows the human race deserves to live forever, look at how the USA treats people around the world. Fuck global warming and fuck a bunch of low level pricks trying to blame people for the entire planet changing climate. The same people who believe that global climate change is man made are the same idiots that believe that jet fuel with random fires can bring down steel buildings.

I was reading Digg and I came across an article that was pretty interesting.  It was about men being seen as sexual predators.  One of the diggers said as follows:  “I am a single 31 year old male who lives alone and I would probably be more civically minded, especially with regards to the kids in the community, but the risks are too severe because of the fact men are presumed to be guilty on the whim of any accusation by a woman or child. Your safest bet as a man is to avoid all women and children altogether, but obviously you have to engage women at some point if you ever want to have a family.

Aside from my girlfriend, I actively avoid talking to pretty much all women for a variety of reasons, but I will NEVER EVER, get myself in a situation with another female where there are no reliable witnesses involved. The same goes with kids. That means I will give a guy who doens’t have a car a ride somewhere to help him out, but in no way in hell would I do the same for a woman or a kid, unless I felt the person was in danger and even then it is a big if. Until the feminists are ridden out of our justice system, men cannot expect a fair shake on any accusation by a woman or a child and until that happens, a man is wise to avoid them unless he feels playing Russian Roulette is a fun game to play.

A year or so ago, I was working out in my garage in the neighborhood where I lived and two probably 13 or 14 year old girls approached me and started to flirt with me. They asked me to take off my shirt and there was not much I could really say other than to try and flatter them in such a way that they don’t get angry because I wanted to tell them to take their whorish asses home to their parents where they could be grounded for life. Nevertheless, being cognizant that I was in a very dangerous situation, I just flattered them and ignored them and went inside my house. After they left, I made it a point to immediately talk to two of my neighbors who happened to be outside to describe what had happened so that if they wanted to set me up for rejecting their advances, then I would have at least some credibility on my side as far as being the one to expose what had just happened, rather than keep the whole thing quiet because then it is just your word against theirs and in our feminist dominated justice system, men lose almost all of the time.

It is sad because you can’t really say anything to kids whatsoever these days without going to jail. If a girl is dressed inappropriately and you suggest she should cover up, you can be prosecuted for sexual harassment for just noticing that she is dressed like a street whore and you then get labeled as a sex offender.

Until women realize what feminism has done to this country, nothing is going to change because women are almost always single-issue voters and when it comes to the vagina lobby, no Democrat nor Republican, dare goes up against it. While men care about a complex set of issues, women only seem to care about issues that affect them directly. Politicians and corporate executives know this, so in spite of politics and corporations being dominated by men, all of these men kowtow to feminism because the men at the top could care less how much the men at the bottom suffer for this misandry.

The best thing a sane man can do nowadays is aside from dating, you should avoid women and children like the plague. I don’t hate children and I love children like any decent person does, but the risks are just too great in this day and age for one unfair and unsubstantiated accusation by a woman or a child to ruin your life forever.

I feel even more sorry for single dads. It must suck extra hard to be viewed as a sexual predator by all the feminists and manginas out there for holding your daughters hand when you cross the street.” I thought this to be interesting.

Julie Sean Monica and I went to Larry’s last night. We ended up ordering 3 pitchers of beer between the three of us, amber rock at $8.95 so not a bad price. Monica bought me a jaggershot and a took that with her. Now that I think about perhaps the reason why I feel hungover and still a little bit drunk waking up is because I drank that. When we got back to our place Julie made spicy ramen noodles while I slept.
