Hindsight is 20/20. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but what if this is not enough?
It's easy to praise the UK, but this colossal mishap of letting any country with a half-baked plan join the euro threatens the world economy now. If the euro goes, it and anything like it is gone for good.
I say have the lending banks (the ones that should've known the debt wasn't repayable) write-off half the debt, that'd make this fiscal union easier to swallow.

The best way to combat this? Don't have gaffes, don't engage in corruption, truly work for the improvement of Japan and lifestyles of the people you represent, etc. (A bit much to expect from a politician, admittedly.)
This is the Japanese form of "Checks and Balances," wrestling back and forth until people resign. It's wholly disadvantageous for Japanese in need of reliable leadership.

Not to mention smash hits like "Dovey love tub," "Love is love is love," "Lovtastic love," and the timeless classic "When loving lovers love, it's LOVE"! WOW!

No one in America will listen to or care what he has to say...because he is speaking in French.

I wish they'd use their energy to protest the crap going on in their own country first.

They should instead fly the Okinawans to the mainland and make a circle around the diet building.
The yanks made an agreement to move, and last time I checked it wasn't the Americans that backed out of that original agreement.
I hate to say this but Okinawans need to face facts: The Futenma base issue is just a campaign pledge based on false pretenses to garnish votes. Basically, a lie, just like all DPJ campaign pledges.

Ah, so my recent relationship woes in Japan wasn't because the women I met were dishonest, gold-digging cheaters and jet setters...it's because I didn't have a marvelous salt-and-pepper beard!
I wonder if there's a hair-growth formula for chins.

Ah, "the people will have to do it." Words to live by, but no rioting!
I wish Japanese people had the courage to say this to their government sometimes.

All of these reasons are illegal! These companies shouldn't even exist anymore!
Is this article subtly suggesting that labor laws are so ineffectual, that schools and students have to create a blacklist to protect each other?

Starbucks has the right to do this, but few will come to their aid should a rash of armed robberies occur. They'll get a smug "I told ya so," attitude.
I feel for the Baristas who have to work in stores where guns are common. Hopefully, individual managers can have the final say in what happens in their stores.

Not in trouble? I've read elsewhere that they are, over numerous issues.
Interesting statement. Almost sounds sarcastic. I'd be wary of people spouting hyperboles and metaphors on-the-record to describe foreign relations.

But what if there were? The controller wasn't stupid, just careless; however, lives are potentially at stake and such carelessness is unacceptable for an ATC.

Oh, you mean "shouganai"!
I think I read somewhere that the LDP was considering this. Can't recall why they didn't (before being ousted by the DPJ) other than the obvious reasons:
simply leaving the IWC would look awful politically, and might open a whole new world in terms of what actions other countries can take. Japan could indeed whale with no quota, but also no loophole for protection.

Yeah, They have how many medals...3? Wasn't there a goal of 10 medals? I watched a short montage of Japanese athletes mostly falling down and crying today, set to depressing music.
Why are the Japanese teams underperforming/being disqualified? Are they buckling under the pressure?
