		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Stop feeding his ego before he show us his nudie pics!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I think kis is angling for full frontal.  It would blow the Spearhead&#039;s PG rating, so you don&#039;t need to worry, Rob.</description>

Ouch!   That may the sign that it is time for you to give up riding.  Injuries and pain just take all the fun out of it.  ;)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;zed:”In Japan today, up to 75% of men have no interest in women or forming relationships. They consider the whole mess just too much hassle.”

Source for that percentage?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20090510x1.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ushikubo estimates that 60 percent of today&#039;s men aged 20-34 fall somewhat into the soshokukei category. Sounds exaggerated? Of the 500 single men in their 20s and 30s surveyed in March by Lifenet Seimei Life Insurance Co., 378 — or 75.6 percent — replied that they regarded themselves more as herbivores than nikushokukei (carnivores).
What is most troubling to a growing legion of young women, however, is that soshokukei men are also extremely noncommittal in their relationships with the opposite sex. Many are not interested in the act of koku-ru (confessing their love to girls), out of fear that doing so would make them psychologically disadvantaged, Ushikubo says. Furthermore, being cynical about the generation above them, in which nearly half of marriages are shotgun weddings, young people — and young men in particular — are very wary of making lifelong commitments &quot;by accident,&quot; according to Ushikubo.

Likewise, they tend to have little interest in reproducing, often even being too physically tired to have sex, let alone start a family, according to Ushikubo. The young men&#039;s tendency not to have real sex — apparently counterbalanced by their growing reliance on Internet porn sites and &quot;do-it-yourself&quot; gadgets — is a big headache for the nation&#039;s condom makers, whose shipments have been falling since 1999, the very year that marks the beginning of the Internet revolution.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>zed:&quot;In Japan today, up to 75% of men have no interest in women or forming relationships. They consider the whole mess just too much hassle.&quot;

Source for that percentage?

A main problem which causes massive social malaise in Japan is that it is way too overcrowded and over-urbanized -- living like sardines in tiny apartments in mega-cities tends to deaden the soul and will-to-live because it is such an unnatural living arrangement for humans due to the fact that it is very much unlike what we evolved in.

If that percentage is true, than in some sense Japanese men are just reacting in keeping with their healthy instincts for societal and nationalistic improvement; they sense that Japan is unsustainably overcrowded and that the population needs to drop by many tens of millions for Japan to be a more desirable place to live for all Japanese men, women, and children.</description>
