    Drowning oneself isn't exactly an easy feat. Doing so while holding a baby can't be much easier. Of course, an autopsy may prove otherwise, but it sounds like this was just a tragic accident.

    DanManjt,

    Thanks for the response. First things first: A futon is a place to sleep; therefore it IS, by definition, a bed.

    To continue, we’re talking about three things here: One, whether or not these G-8 prissies have the Right (with a capital “R”) to complain about their sleeping arrangements.…

    Sigh . . . Here we go again . . .

    Actually, reddragonguy, the world's energy and raw material resource prices are rising in large part because of China's rapid expansion. Look it up. Not that that will stop you from spouting your silly nationalist nonsense.

    Japan has done plenty to atone for past crimes. Now it just needs to get its elected official to stop saying things along the lines of, "Well, when we said we were sorry, what we really meant was..." That's how Japan continuously finds itself in this one-step-forward-two-steps-back frustration with other…

    "What I see in her fields are women in their 30s. I don’t know what they do and where they are from. I feel a bit scared.” Nice to see irrational paranoia isn't reserved for just the wayward gaijin discovered unexpected in rural Japan. They don't seem to like "them…

    The right to complain may indeed be protected under free speech. But that does not translate to a right to beds as opposed to futons. Last I checked, I don't believe "beds" was included in any of the fine print. Yes, the G-8 atttendees can complain all they want, but…

    Nigelboy,

    Yes, I agree. The Korean schools do give a distorted picture of Japan-Korean relations. But that’s distortion isn’t at play here. At face values, the Koreans’ claim is correct: Japan DID colonize the Korean Peninsula. And Shimakura’s response was nothing short of colossally stupid. Why not, “Issues regarding the…

    Why would a Japanese person complain? Most Japanese have slept in western-style rooms before. Most Japanese hotels are western, usually only ryokan have tatami.

    I think the point was made: To illustrate how ridiculous the delegates' complaints are.

    Masswipe,

    I know. But you can't blame a guy for trying. Maybe one day, they'll see a glimmer of light. I'm not always right either, and I'll be the first to admit that. But it's hard for me to sit back and see something wrong go unchallenged. As long as…
