    Keeping the imperial family to a small number is not bad in light of national budget,

    And that is the whole debate in a nutshell. A bunch of talking heads that are less than useless. The real fear is what influence the Imperial Household Agency holds over the Diet. If these overpaid bottom dwellers are allowed to proliferate than even more tax money goes down the drain. There needs to be 100% transparency as to how much tax money goes to support these fools.

    I could hardly believe it because he was someone that has won twice at the Olympics,

    Like others, what on earth does this have to do with anything?

    Really? You don't understand? Japanese (and they are not alone) put famous people, particularly internationally famous, on a pedestal. They put god like status on people who really have done nothing. Hell, look at "Reality TV" in the US to see how do nothings, can become celebrities over night. Back to Japan, look at all the idiots elected by virtue of their mother/father, etc... pathetic.

    *is especially sensitive to such a comment after the rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan girl by three U.S. servicemen in 1995. *

    Let's not forget the rapes performed by Japanese military forces on Okinawans prior to US occupation. Yeah, they are a little sensitive. Can you blame them?

    Simple. Start giving cyclists a place to go that is safe. Also, keep those damned motorcycles out of my bike lane. I love f-ing them off every time I slide by them at an intersection.

    Posted in: Not all cyclists are mindful of pedestrians and fatal accidents involving bicycles are on the rise. As the number of elderly pedestrians is expected to increase in the future, we decided strong action was needed now.

    I understand globalization is something we must face, but I’m not confident

    Well, there is problem number one, no confidence. Gotta believe or you've already lost.

    89% of respondents claimed they would continue to buy Japanese rice

    So what are farmers worried about?

    If the TPP is introduced, Japanese rice would be defeated by foreign rice. There is no doubt about it,” said Takashi Ogino

    Problem number 2, defeatist attitude.

    This last summer the wife and I visited San Francisco and the San Joaquin Valley. Lots of rice grown in California. Japonica rice. We bought a 2 kg bag from I think Takahashi Farms, brought it back to Japan and had a little taste test with her family. I called it "Find the Foreign Rice." They lost.

    we have no intention of casting Ichihashi in a positive light.

    So does that mean you'll rewrite it and give it a happy ending? Because knowing the Japanese penchant for downplaying the acts of violent criminals, particularly when that violence is directed at a foreigner, provides little faith. But I do have some suggestions.

    Say...

    Lindsay Hawkers father finds him while putting up wanted posters and rips him from limb to limb, literally.

    or

    While carousing about in Tokyo, a group of NOVA (maybe former NOVA) teachers see him and start stomping his face in.

    I admit I only read the headline but I have to say that this is GOOD news for Japan. Anyone, living anywhere should not be immune to the laws of the land in which they reside. BTW, I also think that "Diplomatic Immunity" is BS as well.

    Certainly a move in the right direction as I don't see the xenophobic governor mentioned anywhere. Give it time though, I'm sure Ishihara will find it unbearable to be left out. Not too much in the way of competition this time around:

    Qatar - keep dreaming, there may be no Arab Spring but not even the IOC could be that stupid

    Madrid - Spain looks too much like Greece right now.

    Rome - well with Silvio B. gone they might be able to put their finances in order, but again... looks like Greece

    Istanbul - I think the IOC will look at Turkey as a way to appease those in the Middle East and Europe. But appeasement didn't work for Chamberlain, so I doubt it would work here. Still, I'd like to think Turkey would be a good choice.

    I see no problem with hand holding. However, swapping spit in the train station because your significant other is going off to work or twisting tongues in a bar with your new boy/girl friend I find a bit over the top. Hugging? What's wrong with hugging? Everyone needs a hug.

    @gifu Totally agree.

    Sure LED lights don't use as much electricity, but the J-govt can suck it if they think we should cut electricity usage.

    Tell ya what, I'll cut my electricity as soon as imported products start reflecting the actual exchange rate.

    Yamada told a news conference that Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda does not understand how the TPP would adversely affect Japanese agriculture.

    I am so sick and effin tired of hearing this BS.

    I live in an area of Japan that has seen a lot of it's formerly productive farmland plowed under to make room for American style indoor malls. If these a** clowns in the Diet are so damned concerned about Japanese ag, and food security, then the word would go out to not approve building permits for these unneeded monstrosities.

    A spokesperson for the Tokyo Fire Defense Agency said, “We are currently attempting to confirm the details, but the fact of the arrest is extremely regrettable.”

    Regrettable that one of your top do-nothings got busted punching out a "John" in his ho's apartment?

    It's such a shame that playing the food security card gets so much attention.

    like having a lookout for ones who are landing

    You mean like the kids parents?

    Don't get me wrong, I feel it's a terrible thing to have happened to this child, however, where the hell are the parents? Too busy texting? Playing pachinko? I mean would you let your kid play around in a park when paragliders are floating around? 50m isn't very far when it comes right down to it.

    I just stare back, sometimes pull a stupid face. But the wife gets irritated. So when I showed her this article this morning she went about making a couple for my iPad protector. Can't wait to get on the train tomorrow.

    Whereas you could order it from Amazon in the states for as little as $15 (New York), have it delivered to Japan and still pay less than the hosing you get here. 6800 yen? LMFAO
