I find it amusing how many people think that China could actually stand a chance against Japan in a conventional war. The Chinese can't even take Matsu and Quemoy from the Taiwanese. The Japanese MSDF is way stronger than the Taiwanese navy. The Chinese could as soon invade the moon…

No.

Any city that elects Ishihara as its governor does not deserve to host any international event. Period.

I visited Japan over the New Year. I was through immigration in a matter of minutes at Narita. Admittedly I was pushing my infant son in a stroller and they took me aside and put me into a high priority lane. Nevertheless, when I came back to the States through…

It's interesting that when the two leaders promised to strengthen the bilateral alliance, Tokyo stocks fell sharply even briefly dropping below a 26-year closing low. A strong partnership between the two countries seems only to help pessimism mount. Market is honest.

Yes, and the market closed high after Japan received…

The really sad thing about this is the difference in coverage between Japanese news outlets and American ones. This is the top story on most Japanese news outlets. In America, I have yet to see Aso's name on any major news website. Sad. It's just so sad.

These boycotts are going to result in more people playing this game than if they had ignored it. There were like 2 copies at Amazon. Now the thing is going to be on the torrent sites and will be a cult hit with thousands of man-boys with low self-esteem getting…

The hilarious thing about all of this is that the only matter of importance in blood types when dealing with relationships is the rh factor. If an rh positive man has a baby with an rh negative woman and that baby is also positive, then the woman can develop antibodies…

I always thought she was a sweetheart. The world is a sadder place without her in it.

In her too-short life she brought more happiness and pleasure into the world than all the mouth-breathing puritanical hypocrites and posturing closeted perverts in the world.

It is often said Japan enjoys better relationships with the United States, its closest ally, under Republican administrations.

Japanese pols just can't get enough of corruption, whether at home or abroad. No wonder they like the GOP so much.
