    Sounds like a long shot. But I wish him luck anyway. Whatever the outcome, I'll buy the book!

    Japan’s cash-strapped government

    How is J-gov cash-strapped? They seem to be pouring money and donations to Euro crisis, Chile and so many other countries, upkeeping non-profitable whaling fleet and it's security etc.

    Oh, I guess looked from the Tohoku victims side J-gov seems very conveniently cash-strapped indeed.

    By the way, seemingly uncomprehensible J-gov finances became very clear in Alex Kerr's book "Dogs and demons".

    “My wife began receiving welfare payments from last year,”

    So, not Mr. A. Unless the wife is also a non-Japanese, the article doesn't cite a single example where a non-Japanese would receive social welfare, fair or unfair one.

    Even if the above is so, there is no indication that this would be a real problem. How many Japanese are claiming unfair social welfare in turn? How many elderly were "resting" for decades, when they actually were dead and stuffed in some closet so that family could keep receiving pension?

    “But from the viewpoint of Japan’s sovereignty, I declined to accept the offer,”

    Well then, that just made the whole mess 100% Japan's fault, now didn't it? A helping hand was spat upon by the Japanese. Feeding your own people to the wolves just to avoid culpapility.

    So, was is that much better to lose your children's future than your own face?

    Ishihara said that the lukewarm support indicated that Japanese people have become “selfish and extremely narrow-minded,”

    So, take what you see in the mirror and throw it at your enemies (the people of Japan who think independently)? Is that how it works, you old obsolete man?

    Kyle, you were right, but so was everybody else too. This was predictable. In Japan, petty self-interest groups are stronger political force than voters. This is why being in a government of Japan is not a real job.

    most would have gone out to sea where it will disperse and be absorbed into the rocks at the bottom of the sea

    That's some serious willpower there, buddy.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Ishihara wants this is so that he can funnel money for

    Damn, you beat me to it! (^-^)

    Yup, there is nothing but corruption behind Tokyo's bid. Having Olympics in Tokyo will not further Olympic ideals in any way.

    I think it is fantastic being a kid in Japan IF you have good parents.

    OMGhontoni, having "good parents" or not should not be a question of life and death for the little ones. Japan is not particularly a safe place for children, since there are no established safety nets for parents going through hard times. It's swim or drown, there is nothing in between.

    I would gladly see my tax money (yes, I DO pay them to Japan without receiving anything in return) spent for active social programs.

    Japanese women are brought up to know the difference in men and women and their roles in life.

    And you're one who decides women's role, probably blasting it from the speakers in your black van?

    Then I guess it's the women who put salarymen in their place by giving them their daily pocket money. Everybody in Japan seems to put everybody else in their "place". No wonder suicide rates are at the top of the world.

    “There is no way I look at gay people the same as animals, let alone implying sexual relations with animals,” Kitano said

    Maybe next time he could choose a medium that couldn't be authenticated by pressing "play".

    In 2000 years of observing the sky, there has been no record of a superflare happening on our sun, Schaefer says, so it’s not likely to happen.

    Just because of a mere 2000 years of naked eye astronomical history? Does he understand astronomical time scales at all? Any astronomy student would snort at this!

    Geez, did this guy previously do tsunami risk analysis for Tepco or what?

    Too bad Japan is ruled by bureaucrats who, instead of being elected, are paid and bought by Tepco. So yeah, nothing will change. The light at the end of this particular tunnel is the headlight of a train.

    Plenty of hindsight, and all good advice to would-be and present parents. However, children can get anywhere in any time after you just saw them in a safe distance. Thinking othervise just shows you don't have experience on little children. Plus you really don't see the immediate surroundings of a car, no matter how much you believe it.

    Of course she could have done better, but it was an accident, and she's already going through more than any of you. If it was me, I would never stop screaming.

    “The water poses no health risks,” local waterworks official said,

    I knew they're going to say that. In Japan, nothing seems to pose a health risk. Isn't that nice?

    You do realise the government is pushing for the resumption of commercial whaling

    Do YOU realize that they're making the data to fit the desired results? That's not making science, that's faking it.

    Anyway, it's a lose-lose situation for the Japanese, since J-gov continuously believes that you can obfuscate and force decades-old propaganda down people's throats also abroad. That doesn't work for non-Japanese. They only see that Japanese are lying, when it's just J-gov (and their burrowers).

    Japan must have the lousiest whale scientists in the world, since American and British whale researchers have published numerous papers on whales without killing any. Nobody has even heard of Japanese whale research... that does not include soy sauce.

    Japanese ministry officials are liars. Not news per se, but needed to be voiced.

    on trial this week for allegedly starving their young son

    "Allegedly"? Starvation does not occur accidentally nor passively, not to a small child.

    Really? Actually sitting down on the same table and discussing? That's new for both parties. Usually they just sic their ultranationalistic dogs on each other and expect results.
