For the second time today: The nail that stands up must be hammered down! Japanese politics reminds me of going fox hunting in Oz. As soon as the stick their heads up someone puts a bullet in it. However, on the brighter side, there is no shortage of entertainment value in following Japanese politics.

It's the uniform! "The nail that stands up must be hammered down!"
With the electricity restrictions being lifted we should see the aircons being turned back on in the subways of Tokyo.

As much as this may seem like a community service, it is just someone cashing in on the the disadvantaged. The J-Gov should have set this up months ago and should be heavily subsidized by them. You can bet your barbells the prices will be inflated as well.

It is hard to determine what Japan's priorities are in regards to the triple disaster. Is it relocating the people, rebuilding the infrastructure of north-east Japan, resolving the nuclear crisis in Fukushima or covering up their dithering response. Sadly, it seems to be the latter. When you speak to 'Naoki Average' about this the response is always the same - Shame! The ever-so proud Japanese are just embarrassed by the way the events of the last six months have unfolded and with good reason!

That doesn't make sense! He was arrested for imprisoning the women, but was arrested at a restaurant with them? Something is very wrong here.

It makes me wonder if there really was a need in the first place. However, otsukadi sama to all of us who have sweltered in offices all summer with the air-conditioning set on 28'.

It leaves one to ponder what percentage of these incidents are reported and how prolific this kind of stuff is within the school system of 'the safety country'.

Gees! You don't have to be a university professor to work this out. These statistics are based on an 80 year-old lifestyle. Give it another 40 years and Japan will be one of the lowest longevity rates in the modern world. Just tobacco consumption will be enough to knock them off

I've said it before, Japanese politics should be in the entertainment section of the newspaper cos it is a joke! Has anybody else noticed that, the failing of Japan's economy and degradation of society has coincided with the revolving door to the PM's office over the last 15 years or so?

Sorry, but to me, this is a sickness! What the heck do they expect to see? I have seen it happen four or five times at stations around Tokyo. Twice I stopped the losers and it was me that got into trouble. But, the thing is, if I have seen it happen so many times in the few times I have been in transit, how often is it happening?

He is not just the sixth PM in five years, he is also the fifteenth PM in sixteen years. Give him a couple of months and the door will be revolving again. He was also my English student six years ago. He didn't last long at that either.
