I had a friend who worked in the US mil affairs in Beijin. He told me that often when they left the house, if the computer was off when they returned home, the computer was on. They even tell us not to use cell phone roaming over there since they…

I would think that a chance to get out of the country would be very theraputic for the princess. If I were in that position, since I assume that the IHA doesn't want a divorce on their hands, I would simply tell them to "get bent" I'm the pricess, and…

Taka313, I get your point, but what I was commenting on was that most of the time in the Japan press, they do not understand the ramifications of the sentencing that we Americans under the UCMJ give to guilty members. They see it as a 15 month sentence. But this…

I wonder what time this girl was arrested. I say this because if it was in the evening, what was a 16 yr old doing out at that time? Not trying to be old fashioned, but from recent events, there are a lot of loony people around here. Also, how…

rjd, this guy was on the edge of retirement. As a matter of fact, he was going out for his final time if I remember, and now after 20 years, he will loose his retirement (it would have started off around $1900/month, just calculate that for 20 years $460000) and…

America is going through the same thing. I can't blame anyone from leaving a poor country trying to find a place to better themselves. But I feel if people really want to fight illegal immigration it is a two pronged approach that could be used by both the US and…

Here in Japan, I see kids from Yokosuka going as far away as Yokohama to get into a "good high school." More power to them, but like you said, I think it just breeds a resentment among their peers who live near them but are not chosen or can't afford…

If my math serves me right, if she is 47 she would have been born in 1961. She went to NK in 1963 when she was 2 years old. I don't think that she was of the age to really understand what such a move would entail. If anyone had…

This is a very sad event. Just looking at the picture of the police officer with the suspect, I can see a vast difference between American police and Japanese police. In America, the cop would have either: shot the guy with a gun; tazered him; or charged with his billy…

cleo, I am curious, what world leader do you think is doing "a heck of a job" like Brownie after Katrina? I can probably gues but I leave that up to you to fill me in.
