Nozawa probably tried to stop the Germans from leaving without paying. He should have called the police instead.

If they have bad manners overseas, it means they have bad manners at home. Your average person isn't going to change the way they behave just because they've crossed a border into another country. There's an old saying: You can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger.

By the same reasoning we should also welcome the eventual independence of Tibet and East Turkestan! Nothing will last forever, not even Chinese rule, especially with the way China has been acting lately.

This is already known. The U.S. military has a sexual abuse problem that continues into the present.
So is prostitution the solution to sexual abuse? I think not.

First it was the Senkaku islands. Now it's Okinawa. If the Chinese aren't kept in check it'll eventually be Japan and the United States that the Chinese will be claiming. The Chinese already have plans to attack the United States. Here's what a certain General Xu Guangyu had to say in 2011:
You give an inch to the Chinese and they'll take more than a mile.

Sure. They belong to the Okinawan people. And it was the Okinawan people themselves that were pushing for a reversion of Okinawa back to Japan. In 1951, 99.8 percent of Amamians (constituting 139,348 signatures) signed a petition by the Amami Oshima Nihon Fukki Kyogikai (Amami Oshima Reversion Council) supporting the return of Okinawa back to Japan. Try getting 99.8 percent of Tibetans or Uyghurs to sign a petition to remain under Chinese occupation.

The expansion of the Arctic Council has everything to do with countering Russia. Russia claims over half of the Arctic, something that doesn't sit well with the remaining members of the council. How do you weaken Russia's position? Expand the council. Open the Arctic to everyone.

You'd think a guy from a supposedly "oppressed minority" would be more sensitive to the issues surrounding other minorities. However, I doubt Hashimoto will resign. He's the only high profile burakumin and as such represents not only the people of Osaka but the burakumin community as well.

I doubt most people will switch to an insect based diet any time soon. On the other hand, dogs and cats would probably have no problem munching on insects. Americans are expected to spend over $21 billion on pet food this year alone. That's quite a large untapped market for insect protein.

Taketomi island lies between Iriomote and Ishigaki. The Taiwanese fishing boat was deep into Okinawan territorial waters.

With its stock price increasing, Sony won't need any cash infusion from Loeb. Anyway, the reason why Sony has an entertainment division in the first place, goes all the way back to VHS vs Betamax.
Having an entertainment division gives you an edge in any format war. Content drives sales of the hardware, not the other way around.

Without a natural predator, a deer population will grow out of control.
Hawaii is having a similar problem with its deer.
Even in the Blue Ridge Mountains you have out of control deer populations destroying the ecosystem.
You can either reintroduce a natural predator or have groups hunters do what a natural predator would be doing. Doing nothing is not an option.

You can actually make some serious money hunting deer in Japan.
Mr. Niizuma could have been hunting to supplement his retirement income.
10,000 yen/deer x 18 = 180,000 yen
Not bad for a day's work. Of course an accident like this is a reminder that hunting isn't entirely free of risks.

Anyone thinking of climbing a snow covered mountain should invest in an airbag vest. On average 10 percent of people caught in avalanches die, but when a person is wearing an airbag vest that number falls to about 3 percent.

As early as 1951, Okinawans were already pushing for a return to Japanese rule. For example, 99.8 percent of Amamians (constituting 139,348 signatures) signed a petition by the Amami Oshima Nihon Fukki Kyogikai (Amami Oshima Reversion Council) supporting the return of Okinawa to Japan.
