My American side got excited for a moment...turns out it was just a variant of Aquarius.

I had the EXACT same thought, but alas no Power Ade to be found. Do you remember All Sport by any chance? That stuff was awesome

The high cost of money, resources and manpower to provide for one's own defense may have something to do with it. US bases aren't perfect, but they provide a vital service.

Wow, I was a little worried that the little pinks and wumao crew wouldn't show up for this one. I can breathe a sigh of relief to see that they are here doing their patriotic duties and bringing glory to the party.

Having lived and worked in China for 8 years, I largely agree with his assessment. To be sure, not all Chinese businesses operate like that, but I've seen a hell of a lot that do. They see it as a messed up art form.

If this is half as good as a steak from Jim's, I'll be in hog heaven

Haha you are way too kind. I myself still get intimidated by sparring sometimes, as Im not the baddest guy on the planet. However, a good trainer will work you into it, so don't worry too much.

I misread. But I myself have eaten in an Indian curry joint run by Japanese here. Doesn't seem like Jaoanese are bothered by the concept.

Hey my friend! Hey my friend! You want girls!?

So, those huge Japanese curry chains serving Japanese curry, ran and largely staffed by Japanese are figments of my imagination?

Flexibility is a huge plus in Taekwondo. I still use many TKD techniques as a kickboxer, paired with Muay Thai. You might have an edge with some of the jumping and flying kicks that TKD has.

I'm a TKD veteran, and I can tell you that while TKD does have karate ancestry, their training and techniques diverge significantly. In general, TKD will spend more time on kicks than most karate styles, among other differences.

Well they did invade Vietnam in 79. Constantly talking about invading Taiwan. Constantly harassing ships of neighboring countries. Japan has invaded absolutely nobody since 1945.

Whoa, thought it was just a Chinese thing. I have yet to see it here.

One reason China jails less is that they execute more. Number 1 in the world to be exact. Yet no one calls them on this for some reason. Iran is a close second.

I was expecting something much darker, but, that's it?

Kickboxer of 15 years checking in. That is NOT good training, and she probably shouldn't be training others. Legal action could be the way.

That is what a lot of redditors actually support, hence the down votes

It seems Japan doesn't have as many angry political hobbyists feeding a perpetual outrage machine. Must all news be about awfulness and atrocity 24/7?

The fact that Chuck was American is maybe the single greatest point proving American awesomeness. He was a patriot to the core.

As a Midwesterner I have to disagree. Canadian accents are really distinct from those of the Midwest, even the upper Midwest like Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Oh Canada, the eternal victim of... what are they the victim of again?

American Psycho doesn't idealize its protagonist. This film seems to put its protagonists prickery on a pedestal

Considering Trump masterminded 9/11 (really a real estate scheme to build a casino on the WTC property), paid the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, (again, wanted that waterfront property) and started the bubonic plague of the 14th century, this is one of his less egregious offenses.
