It has always been my deam to go to Japan because of thier culture. They are not hindered by a god like the western world is; with all our moral values and laws based on the christian faith.

There is nothing wrong with that. The peolpe who work at the little places can find jobs at the big  stores that take them over. I personally would prefer to shop at a big brand name store than a familly owned store; because the products will often be of better quality and come with a warranty. Also the big stores would have better selection, but not nececarally the servise would be better. But this is changing rapidly as big companies are realising the importance of cusomer service. It is the natural order of things for the little guy to die while the bigger one thrives.

girls. they also fight over more stupid things like hair and breast size and stuff like that. while a guys stature is determined by strength, a girls is determined by who she is with and how she looks, which is very difficult to maintain. also guys dont get pissey all the time because of the monthly period.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
