    France donated large amounts of oyster farming equipment to set them back on their feet in Kesennuma. Are you saying that the French purposely helped to seed contaminated oyster farms?

    'At least they give sources'

    Ah yes, but all sources are not equal. One newspaper article from 1972 is not exactly a mountain of proof.

    Again, if this kind of oddly-shaped vegetable hadn't been featured on TV for the past 20 years at least, then you might begin wonder if you could attribute it to radiation. Check out the Guinness Book of world records for dozens of records about huge or weirdly shaped vegetables.

    That's not a mutated radish....it just grew around rocks, I'm willing to bet. Every year for the last decade at least this type of vegetable (sometimes carrots too) are featured on the news and 'wide shows'. Here's one from 2006-

    Unless you can prove that something has never occurred before Fukushima, and is now occurring, it's irresponsible to accredit it to radiation.

    Catch the drift, Himajin? This guy is exactly right in everything he's saying, and he doesn't NEED to prove it because the Japanese government itself has proved it.

    I personally think that all politicians are liars, I have yet to see one I'd trust to tell me anything. I just think the lack of any doubt as to what this guy is saying is comical.

    Love the pig-pile because I dared say that an American government official might not know what he's talking about.

    Down vote me all you like, I hate blowhards like this who spout off with no evidence. Interesting that when an American speaks, he's instantly believed.

    Any evidence from Maher backing up anything he says?

    I found a place offering Turkish rice in Kobe yesterday, and tried it. It was the tonkatsu version, with curry sauce instead of demi glace. It was pretty good, DH and I ate it all despite it being a large portion. It didn't have the spaghetti on the side like the one in this article, though. The rice was spicy, I liked it. I thought it needed a bit of salt, DH didn't. We had it at Estacion Cafe in JR Kobe Station.

    “It’s not stable,” Maher said recently at the Heritage Foundation in Washington. “Tokyo is safe, but Fukushima Daiichi is in really bad shape.”

    How does he know, on what does he base this? Has he gone there?

    Him seeing TV footage of one helicopter means that there was only one there?

    Let's all read before posting.

    See byline, "Paris", not Tokyo.

    "At the** International Lingerie Fair taking place in Paris this week**, a dozen firms had models aimed at teens and pre-teens—also known as “Tweens”—including girls as young as nine."

    See companies mentioned,

    Petit Bateau Skiny, an Austrian firm last summer the French brand Jours Apres Lunes caused a stir with a line aimed at four- to 12-year-olds

    More from the article-

    "A US research team last year found that nearly a third of clothes targeted at pre-teen American girls had “sexualizing characteristics”—such as the use of slinky red or black materials or leopard-skin prints, or cuts that emphasized the buttocks or breast area."

    "American pre-teen store Abercrombie Kids has repeatedly been accused of overstepping the line—in 2002 for selling thong underwear with “wink wink” and “eye candy” printed on the front, and last year for a kid’s push-up bra."

    and we still have posters railing about underwear in Japan.

    A lot of things my wife didn't tell me,

    You keep saying this, but....your computer doesn't have Google? You make a decision to go live in another country and don't do any research?

    "Independent thinking" ? You certainly aren't allowing your children or wife to think independently.

    You can't be for real....

    it's there in their genes and possibly language acquisition could activate that.

    I think that's one of the most ignorant things I've ever read on this site, and that's saying something.

    These politicians make me sick......all this in-fighting and taking digs at each other when there is so much to do! Shame on them all for using this crisis to try and scuttle each other.

    The men act like animals. They will not see differences between their mothers , sisters, daughters with their wifes

    It's women who buy these things for their daughters. No father that I know would be happy to see his elementary school girl in a thong.

    I doubt that's exactly what he said, Michiru....

    gaijininfo, without his or his dead brother's fingerprints to identify the brothers, they had to follow the paper trail.
