He is right, Germany should take examples how Japan or ex-colonist countries like the UK showed mea culpa about their wrongdoing in past history.

I am just curious why cannot see the Japanese numbers.. After the outbreak, the last number I saw in media was about 150-200 cases. Then somehow so many other important news came up that the is no place for flu.

There is always an excuse why a Japanese is lazy, and why Bulgarians, Mongols, Americans etc. are working harder. Who are the next yokozunas? Pygmies? They are hungry for sure.
To be exact, as a sport, it is much younger...

Since the film industry as whole in mainland China own by the government, whatever Chinese movies qualifies as propaganda. By the way: do you cry so hard, if the Japanese make a movie about Hiroshima? Do you protest every August when Hotaru no Haka aired on NHK? Oh, no? "We were aggressors, therefore we suffered more?"

In the Japanese market, the producers decide who is the hot star. In the US, they just don't have enough influence to hype bands like SMAP or morning musume.

Well, my parents always asked what I would like to be when i grow up. Now I know: I will be a condor or something like that. I will fly high and wait till this dinosaur country will die, with no professional labor force, no cheap, manual labor force, only a bunch of old people without kids or social system. And then I will feed well on the carcass..

Transportation may be good for commuting workers, but last time I was in Tokyo, it was still crowded. I have visualized an extra X thousand tourists during the rush hours.. Also, telling that Tokyo is excellent in terms of accommodation is a joke. Cheap hotels with good access for transportation is rare.

Aso, be proud! Japan is already a world leader in producing pedo-porn (UN source) and bestiality movies. Hail to the Japanese culture.

Well, at least he has a lot of time to write books, go the press conferences, and work on his image. It also seems, diet is not that bad in the jail: at least no problem with calories. I wish i was a prisoner in Japan, witting books, getting rich and famous...

Someone was right: we maybe fooled by numbers. It maybe not that uncommon at all. People who wants to disappear really fast, they use taxi to go far away. It also make sense that he may not have money with him but supposedly can got at the destination. And the taxi driver makes a try: high risk, but probably high profit. I guess we just don't read in the news the successful escape stories, so all we see that failed ones.

I think they were fighting to decide if they want ice cream or cake as a desert. Unlawful things cannot happen in Japan, I am sure.

Fixing fights - OK. Killing a young wrestler, hammering his head with baseball bats - OK. Actually showing human emotion and enjoying victory - that is soooo ugly!
