Shumatsu Samurai: Anti-Japanese posters.. obsessed with revenge.." That is a bit rich. If the West and China wanted to seek revenge on Japan they would have done so in 1945. They didn't. They generously assisted Japan to recover and provided Japan with an awesome defence shield ever since.

It would be interesting to see what people pay for goods and services in Japan so those of us from outside Japan could get a better understanding. Average household income: is that husband and wife or them plus the grandparents and the working kids? How much does a Mc Donald's…

If it comes to Israeli economic and Jewish population history in Israel may I refer you to Nadav Halevi, Hebrew University article on the internet 'A Brief Economic History of Modern Israel'.

Grafton. If they are prepared to put their allegiance first and foremost to Australia, then many would be welcome in Melbourne as they always have been. We are a city of 4 million with 180 different nationalities living in complete harmony. We are the fourth biggest University city on the…

There appears to be some common ingredients the peoples who occupy arid, rocky or sandy desert areas have in common. Criminal gangs and despots that survive by preying brutally on others. Helter Skelter you seem to be on the right track.

If you carried those pictures into Australia you would be charged with a criminal offence, publicly ostricized, and gaoled. You cannot even take a picture of children playing sport in Australia with many sporting groups. 100 compromising photographs of…

I live in Melbourne, Australia which is Australia's major commercial port. We haven't had a US Aircraft Carrier visit since WW11. We would love to see one sailing up our magnificent bay and resting peacefully in our harbor while the crew enjoyed our beautiful city. I am grateful for the…
