I've heard of genetically engineered barley used in goods but barley descended from a space grown specimen?

What is this, a Coordinators v.s. Newtype market war?

Actually and factually, this is a pretty good drama about a reluctant middle school teacher becoming the prime minister of Japan after being hand picked by the "LDP" to replace his estranged father who died as a Diet member.

Oh great, the dorama celebrates the LDP peerage appointment system. How…

Now if the Scots could just learn to speak the Queen's English instead of sounding like Jim McTaggart, there would be real progress :)

Now only if these kids don't start speaking Kansai-ben for some anomalous reason. "waga kuni ni zehi kurude nou!"

They should do well, they did awesome in Iraq.

If your observation of "awesome SDF deployment" is based on the experience in Samwawah, I guess the same implementation here involves the peacekeepers put under the protection of foreign soldiers. Then by all means, bring in whatever willing foreign military to…

One of the main differences is that the English, Spanish, Dutch, French, etc., do not dupe themselves into treating their past colonization as a form of liberation when they learn about it in their history.

What is the Commonwealth of Nations then? an association by nations colonized by Britain to…

"let me re-interpret that: "Japan with an assertive military under an anti-Chinese and pro-American conservative regime is acceptable to the majority of Americans"

Absolutely correct. Japan is our jewel accomplishment, the most succesful democracy in Asia, one which never had democratic ideals in it's entire history, and has for the…

The chief of the Defense Ministry’s Air Staff Office denied that he was stating a personal opinion, quoting historical documents and newspapers from countries such as France and Britain.
