Meanwhile, as part of the continuing "We'll do anything to tarnish Obama" GOP strategy...
According to CBS News:
Link: White House Benghazi emails have different quotes than earlier reported
Media bias, you say? How about deliberate manipulation of the media to produce a desired outcome?

Ah, the "it was a complicated situation" excuse. Seems a convenient refrain for the Republican party, but is inexcusable for an Obama administration trying not to taint an ongoing FBI investigation.
Right.

Sailwind,
I'm sorry you can't see the train wreck that the GOP leadership has steered itself into, and I understand that it may even bite into the pride a little bit to even entertain such a possibility, but the truth of the matter is that the GOP is painfully out of touch with its constituency.
The current GOP leadership has chosen to cast aside -- or rather push off-kilter from its shoulders -- the mantle of fiscal responsibility that my grandmother's GOP wore proudly some 40 years ago, and replace it instead with fringe pet projects ranging from Creationism to anti-abortion extremism to anti-homosexuality hysterics. The consensus came in with the last presidential election that the majority of Americans either don't subscribe to these stances or don't figure them to be of import enough to be forced front and center in the national dialogue, particularly when there's an ailing economy still in need of tending back to health.
The cracks in the GOP began the moment they started catering to the Moral Majority in the late-80s, taking up a new mantle as self-proclaimed champions of legislated morality. Which is utterly baffling, since the GOP still to this day preaches the gospel of less government intrusion into the private lives of Americans.
The GOP has forwarded in all seriousness mind-numbingly idiotic national stage contenders like Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, and stands back in slack-jawed shock that Mitt Romney got spanked decisively in the last election. The GOP squandered any faith it constituency could ever have party leadership's ability to get its duck not only in a row, but in a row that has relevancy in modern American society.
I'm not saying average rank-and-file Republicans are in disarray. You folks have always known where you came from and know where you want to be, and you've been consistent throughout in that regard. But your party has sold you out, placing political victory at all costs above victory for the right reasons. And folks like you have enabled the self-destructive construct the GOP has morphed into to take everything you held dear in terms of proper governance, and perverted it into something unrecognizable and toxic to the average American.
You can go ahead and tell me and yourself that there's nothing wrong with the Republican Party right now. But you'd be wrong. The GOP is broken today. You know it. I know it. And so does the rest of America.

Presenting the political currents of the state level as being representative of the broader national canvas disingenuous and silly, Sail.
Having a Republican governor for 6 years in no way diminished California's ability ro sway presidential elections towards Democrats, did it?

Molenir,
No, actually. The White House position on the attacks changed on Sept. 20 when Press Secretary Jay Carney called the event "a terrorist attack." That's eight days after the attack. Not "weeks", as you suggest.
This kind of needless exaggeration does little to help anything and lends itself more to the growing suspicion that the GOP is desperately seeking something -- anything -- to discredit Obama, and by extension, the Democratic Party, when the GOP's own glaring lack of cohesive, resonating domestic policies is the true source of its decline.
Finger-pointing and attempting to manufacture presidential conspiracies from whole cloth is not going to take the place of a national platform that people can relate to and rally around.
How about the GOP devote its considerable free time and attention to getting the economy back on its feet? Just a thought.

Moot point. Tokyo and Osaka are already de facto 24-hour cities. There are countless businesses open all night and into the morning, including restaurants, convenience stores, hair salons, Internet cafes, grocery stores, and shops selling a broad range of merchandise from clothing to furniture to electronics. People already work at these places. People already patronize these places. Together, these citizens make a considerable contribution to the economy of the city they live in.
And if they're paying their fair share of city taxes, why shoudn't they be able to partake in the benefits of public transportation that folks with more "traditional" employment take for granted?
Saying no to providing 24-hour public transportation because the process is too "hard" or "complicated" isn't good governance. It's simply self-centered laziness.

I'm really curious to hear Morinaga's explanation for why foreign multinationals might contribute to income disparities? Disparities between whom? And who would be left on the short end?

What the GOP has morphed into over the past 30 years is more than pathetic. I'd laugh if it weren't for the fact that my grandmother, who I deeply respected, was a member of the party before it went bat-$#it insane.
With a lack of any true party cohesion, the GOP is fixated on, as Pickering succinctly put it, pointing "a finger at people more senior than where [the ARB] found the decisions were made."
And now raving, scarcely coherent GOP asshats like Mike "God killed the children of Sandyhook ES" Huckabee are calling for impeachment against Obama for . . . well, no one knows exactly what.
GOP leadership has devolved into a pack of squabbling brats, while its constituency sits on the sidelines and cheers on any and every cockeyed thing they propose, hoping it will somehow give them back some measure of political relevancy in modern America. Good luck with that, boys and girls, but I have to say, since losing to Obama twice precisely for being backwards-thinking, overbearing, and, well, there really is no better way to say it -- unlikeable jerks, you're not likely to see much progress on the current path.

letsberealistic,
One, no one here has maintained a stance that Japan was pure or innocent in the way it prosecuted its war on China in the 1930s and 40s. No one. You're making that accusation out of thin air.
Two, you might want to take your own advice and read up on the historical issues, rather than relying on an op/ed fluff piece from Mariko Oi who recounts her personal experiences as a junior high school student in Japan at a private school some seventeen years ago.
Yes, you aren't the first poster to float that particular link from the BBC in this ongoing debate, and you probably won't be the last. But outdated narratives that make broad generalizations based on the research of only one researcher from each side of the debate over how history is taught in Japan does not speak to the official Japanese government apology and does not constitute a compelling historical argument.

For those who will assuredly pop up in later days, weeks, months or years whinging that Japan has no properly apologized for its role in WWII, indulge me in re-posting the following official Japanese government statement thatcurrently appears in major news outlets across the world:
Accepted.
Humility.
Remorse.
Heartfelt apology.
Profound mourning.
This is as close to an all-emcompassing apology as one could ever possibly hope for. Anyone still unsatisfied even with this is either irrational or emotionally stunted.
So can we move on now?
Please?

As opposed to the legacy of China's aggressive expansionism across the centuries....? Northern China, Southern China, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Tibet: All of these regions became part of China as a result of aggressive expansionism throughout China's long history.
Do these {coff!} "scholars" propose giving the people in these regions back their liberty?
Or is this just another example of China's increasing prediliction for brinksmanship designed to get what it wants when it knows it's in the wrong? Probably the latter.

Windows XP is not harder to use. It's incredibly straightforward and simple to use. As for "slower," these municipalities don't have high-end multimedia or graphics needs. There is very little they can get in terms of speed improvement that wouldn't be addressed by a simple hardware upgrade. Yet ironically, a machine with 14-year-old hardware would have a very tough time running Windows 7 smoothly, and it would be almost impossible to run Windows 8. So speed and difficulty are not the issues here. Beside, the most demanding software needs most municipalities run into never go past Excel spreadsheets and Word documents on what has obviously proven itself to be a relatviely stable and reliable network.
Yeah, yeah, "Windows is so unsecure" is what immediately pops to the lips of those who like Linux or Apple. But the proof is in the pudding. With proper usage and maintenance (and product support), Windows XP has proven itself to be a fairly reliable workhorse over the past decade.

Chin4Sailor,
Oh heaven's, you again?
No, it's because it is the truth. I live and work in Japan and have done so for 13 years. In that time I've worked in Japanese junior high schools for 11 years and have been fortunate enough to call several social studies teachers friend. They've had no problem whatsoever sharing their teaching materials with me, including, of course, the official history textbooks, textbooks which address Japan's aggression during the war.
You're right. The eyes don't lie. Sit down with an actual textbook some time and expad your mind. Granted, you'll be disappointed at the lack of colorful adjectives designed to inspire self-loathing. But you'd be surprised at what's actually covered, contrary to the rhetoric.
Meanwhile, thanks for trying to peddle the recollections of woman's learning experiences in a private Japanese junior high school some 17 years ago, but no. Not quite there yet in terms of compelling evidence, particularly when I've got the actual texts sitting right next to me five days out of any given week.
(Oh, and "arm-chair warrior" isn't actually used the way you used it, at least among the rest of the English speaking world. You might want to fine-tune your sarcasm for better effect in the future.)*

Tony Ew,
You clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about here. Not only is there no nationalistic foundation to Shintoism, but the roots of Shintoism and Buddhism are are WORLDS apart geographically, historically, philosophically, culturally. I highly recommend you open and read a few books before posting on this subject again.

I suspect a lot of the discomfort people feel in seeing these posters lies in their unwillingness to accept that Japan's high suicide rate is in any way their problem. Being faced with it so starkly and matter-of-factly forces them to think about an issue they hope and assume someone else will address.
"It's not my problem." is at the heart of their unhappiness with the campaign.
