  I guess that actually, this is a golden opportunity for Japan Today to claim Mainichi's readership - if you guys can get Ryan Connel in (which I doubt you can pay, but if you could), it would be a serious opportunity for Japan Today to make a play at toppling…

  Hisashiburi, I just saw this today. WTF? I saw some of these campaigners against WaiWai on YouTube a few days ago but thought little of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPX1t9MGnmk

  I'm assuming that it is these people (in this case railing against WaiWai as part of a broader campaign against Soka Gakkai, who…

  seiosig, it seems that they had a great time there. They got free trips to Europe where they helped to abduct Arimoto and other Japanese victims of the regime there, plus they get to live like royalty in comparison to everyone else.

  And no matter how bad it is over…

  I believe that the term used is "apologist". Youdontknow simply doesn't want anyone criticising Kim Jong Il, and so brings up irrelevant diversions when faced with a black and white case where his beloved North Korean government could appear wrong, and the horrible awful Japanese government is right.

  The strangling…

  N Korea wants to get off the list of state sponsors of terrorism more than it needs to protect a handful of aged former Japanese student radicals. This guy thinks he will never have to face any consequence for hijacking an airliner. And he also thinks that the government of…

  Given NZ's willingness to allow give President Hu a photo op by agreeing to sign an FTA in the middle of the crackdown in Tibet, it should not be hard then for NZ to climbdown from its ridiculous position against Japanese scientific whaling.

  I mean, NZ is willing to sign…

  This was what was odd to me, according to the news this morning, the Chinese government has asked that the US only provide financial aid and to let them do all the boots on the ground stuff.

  I think that if other countries are offering material help, it should be…

  Well, life in jail is probably preferable to the fate of those North Korean drug smugglers that got their boat sunk and ended up drowning while the coast guard watched them a couple of years back.

  It's hard to think of more aggravating circumstances - besides the 230kg, the fact…
