Doesn't everything he stands for go AGAINST changing Japan?

As J4p4nFTW clearly reiterates, 'let's take Japan back to the Good old Days of the East Asia Co-Prosperity days!" is the Ishihara way 'forward'.

Bring it ALL back!!! Comfort women and all!! (sarcasm)

79 year old power brokers? Even Rupert Murdoch was wise enough to pass everything on to Juniors, coz he was just too old!

Wow.......I work in (non-nuclear) cooling water systems and the pipes & pumps which transport the water...

Usually pumped at (or above) 400 kPa.....leaks are like water jets.....not dribbles.

Pipes do NOT just magically 'come apart'......bolts do not 'just loosen themselves'.

It is NOT the result of freezing conditions....the 'coolant' water in the pipes is 25 - 85 degrees C and warms the surrounding pipes.....if not, you wouldn't NEED "Cooling" ( = Cold Shutdown??)

I have blamed extremely poor Management and Government oversight until now. I now realise that the 'heroes' working in the plant are peanuts too!

Ofcourse, the outright LYING is possibly the worst crime of all.....

Very Sad Again (Ongoing??)

How is study of American Law in any way a benefit in The Empire of Japan?

It's like studying Spanish for 5 years, then doing a Post Grad in Egyptian??????

Still a large victory for the populace, against Oyagi-Inc.!!!!!

Can any poster here explain how this vote worked.....mandatory/volunteer/% of population who voted etc??

Once TEPCO starts to generate net profits, the company **is expected to be urged **to pay back the financial assistance

PrePrepared loophole from the very first media release.

Taxpayers Yen to pay for Compensation to victims. Taxpayers Yen to refit the Plants BACK TO PRODUCTION. Taxpayers PAY increased electricity costs.

Nobody jailed for Criminal Negligence.

And as soon as Money Loss is done, the clowns that started this mess slink back in on the gravy train.

Business as usual for Japan Inc

So, so sad...

Arrest Paul

I apologise that I didn't recognize any question in your post.....I'm used to questions starting with what/when/why/where/who etc.

Your phrasing "So your saying that...." is very offensive to me, and tries to put words in my mouth, when I feel that I have already made my opinions very clear.

Arrest Paul...

"So your saying that ........"

If you want to know what I'm saying, read my posts again, and stop and think before responding.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, that's fine. I'm just happy that other readers get to see points of view from all sides od an argument.

Arrest Paul....

so your logic path is, "the kids in the pool were reeeeaaalllly bad, and they reeeallly annoyed the Adult swimmer, and it's even on Video, so he's not responsible for their deaths"????

NOBODY will see it that way.

They will say "the adult should have been wise & mature enough to get out of the pool".

Thats why Adults are adults, and kids are kids.

And why Governments are Governments, and private citizens are private citizens.

I'm not an SS supporter.

I do think SOMEONE should be doing something to stop the whaling ANYWHERE near Australia.

SS are the only ones doing anything.

No reports of the ACTUAL injuries inflicted by their "violence" have been seen.......

I thing that th majority of Aussies see it this way, or just don't even know or care where Japan is......

Bloggers on Newspaper websites in Australia tend to represent the more outspoken & extreme folks in society.......most Aussies don't think there's anything to discuss about whaling......they're just waiting to hear when it will be finished.

I don't make anything sound like anything......and I have never called anybody "Eco-Terrorists" because that would mean that they were Terrifying the Trees and the Air to get their way......

You know nothing about the Australian media if that's what you think.......

The Aus Media yesterday said that Shane Warne had a Road Rage incident against a cyclist......they said "it is being investigated by Police", but the underlying message was CLEARLY that Shane Warne is a Hero!

This is not far from how Sea Shephard are reported......always STATING that their activity was illegal (like Parking Tickets are) but with no inference whatsoever that they have actually done anything "Wrong".

Go ShareHolder Ranger!!!!!

He's saying "You Board Members get paid (YOUR money) to look after MY money"

When you fired Woodford, it was clear that it would be unjustified and Olympus would get suited for MY money........so NOW......you can REPLACE MY money, with YOUR money, that you were paid for a job that you DID NOT DO!

Excellent!!!

888naff.....the Western (Wall St.) situation was formed from 'the smartest people they could find' doing the shiftiest things they could think of.

In Japan Inc, it's still reasonably shifty, but the very low bar on ethics means that the smartest people available aren't really required.....

"I assure you, regardless of laws, loopholes, or other......when somebody dies - the world opinion will squarely >blame the "Official" contingent.

Not when these clowns keep openly displaying their sheer stupidty and incompetence to the entire world."

The more 'they are clowns' and you are 'Government of Japan'......the more what I have said is true.

It's like saying they're not 5 year olds, they're 3 year olds......it just makes the Adult's responsibility even more.

Is this confusing logic?

"WHAT?? Are you saying that the goal of the eco-terrorists is for one of their own to die in some stupid way so they can blame the whalers in an attempt to gain public sympathy?"

I'm not saying it is their GOAL, but Western Eco-Protestors have a clear history of gladly risking injury or DEATH to protect the aspect of nature they are emotional about.......chaining themselves to trees in forests......throwing themselves under the wheels of logging or Uranium trucks.....

Their game is..........you let SS harrass you, SS won........you inflict ANY physical harm, SS won......you kill a protester, SS won big time!!!!! They KNOW what they are signing up for!

Pro-Whalers can say what the impression in the AusMedia is, but I'm HERE, I've grown up with the Australian media......there is NO confusion as to what they are saying, and it is WHALING is WRONG...

therefore, in the eyes of the Australian media is; ANY injuries are the fault of the Government-organised/sponsored whaling group, because they should not be there.

you can refer to any laws that you like.......Ned Kelly was clearly a criminal.....it does NOT mean that the Australian public are against him.

SSCS, as many like saying, are just an amateur rabble of volunteers trying to draw attention to the issue of whaling.

YM2, clearly labelled as "Government of Japan" is supposedly manned by Official Representatives of the Government of Japan......

I assure you, regardless of laws, loopholes, or other......when somebody dies - the world opinion will squarely blame the "Official" contingent.

When a grown adult is in the pool (legitimately or not) and a bunch of 4 year olds also jump in, if one of the kids get injured, of course it will be the "Adult's" fault.....no matter what.

This is what will always be on the amateur protester's side, and the whalers would be foolish to not recognise this clear trap....

The rest of the world do not allow Japan to 'get away with" this Research crap because they agree, or can't do anything......it's just that Japan's approach would force International Governments to take action beyond the normal, polite diplomacy (eg - Take japan to the ICJ????), and without this being brought to the public's attention, it's not worth bothering.

However, when someone dies..........this whole balance will change considerably.

Not much News in this......hard to believe either side in this particular case.

It does, however, point out that the "Government of Japan" boat staff will pay a HEAVY price Internationally if ANYONE sustains an injury gretaer than inflicted in weekend sport.

No matter how much SS baited them, if a SSCS member were killed, even by accident, the world will ask "couldn't you just have turned away and left.....Are you even willing to kill people to continue catching whales".

All the Political Tatemae diplomacy would very quickly dry up, and there would be a lot of pressure on Governments to prioritise clarification of legal positions, that were previously seen as "clearly dubious, but not necessarily worth spending Legal money & time on".

Some of Japan's IWC support countries might also think twice about what is being done in their name???

Today's question should not be "Who was aggresive", but maybe "Who was very close to being very stupid"????

Re: The Research Argument

How much other Research is done, by kiiling thousands of the subjects, to gather data?

Can you site examples?

Google "Ethics" at almost ANY University in the world, and you will see a paragraph about non-harmful, non-cruelty, and especially non-lethal Research Methods, being the Legally-required minimum.

THIS is the main reason that the educated world is offended by Japan's "Research" Loophole.
