"In the Asian culture, we do things differently," Cao said. "During the samurai days, we'd just give you a knife, and ask you to commit hari-kari."

Now THAT was funny I don't care who you are ...

[Nonstatist]

6 months and youre gone, Cao. All the asskissing in the world to the Left is not going to help you, unfortunately.

In Vietnam, I remembered Buddhist Priests actually committing suicide by dousing themselves in FLAMES.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"During the samurai days, we'd just give you a knife, and ask you to commit hari-kari."

First of all, it was the Japanese samurai culture. Second, it was hardly a knife that was used. It was a tashi. More of a short katana than a knife.

Women used a large dagger but that wasn't seppuku. That was jigai.

EDIT TO ADD : The practice in Vietnam is also called BONZO because Buddhist monks immolated themselves in protest of the Vietnamese regime in 1963.

It was Western media coverage of the fiery Vietnamese suicides that introduced the word "self-immolation" to a wide English-speaking audience and gave it a strong association with fire. In English literature prior to the mid-20th century, Buddhist monks were often referred to by the term bonze, particularly when describing monks from East Asia and French Indochina.

This term is derived via Portuguese and French from the Japanese word bonsō for a priest or monk, and has become less common in modern literature.

I wish these oil company execs would appoint their own commission to study what went wrong and announce the loss in jobs and wages due to the idiotic premature shut down of other rigs in the gulf.

I think it's time for the oil companies to become more assertive...or we're all going to be riding horses or bicycles ...thanks to Cap and Trade Barry !
