“We Romans saved so many Jews during the war, all under orders of the pope,” he said. “It goes against history to judge him negatively.”
Hitler's children were not very nice. The Pope's children lived in places conquered by Hitler's children. Discretion was necessary.
Pope Benedict is Catholic. What a surprise for a lot of people. He probably knows more about Pius XII than most of us. Read Benedict's book on "Truth and Tolerance", twice.

"Japan faces reality of China's rising presence in U.S. diplomacy": We also saw yesterday Japan's warning to China that China MUST HONOR their agreement for joint exploration for gas in the disputed waters of the South China Sea Or else some action will be taken. Maybe the Chinese want to opt out of that agreement.
Hatoyama might consider just being straight with the public and explain that international agreements must be honored. With that, get US support to help them with this South China Sea issue. No one wins by not honoring international agreements.
However, Japan's concerns should be address to a certain degree, but not to the degree to where Japan is seen as not honoring international agreements. I do not think I would trust a friend who acted like this continually. For the sake of peace here, Hatoyama needs to be clear. Trust is being lost.

Tuna in the Alantic is not Japanese Tuna. Eat the Pacific variety please. Seriously, stocks must be managed for all. Lying to oneself because one likes tuna does not make more tuna. What is caught should be put up for auction though, because the EU does not own the ocean. If Japan pays more for it so be it. It is theirs. The world market should be allowed to work for the tuna that is harvested.

drtoro - you must speak Japanese well. All places have their good and bad. Since this is about babies, how about just enjoying the land, find a beautiful jbird and have a few children. Help the place out and enjoy life.

Marriage between a man and a women is beautiful. That is how we were made. End of story. They do not want to televise this trial because of all the hate sent to those defending prop 8. I read some of the comments and boy do the gays have hatred for Christian values. Really scary bunch. So scary and full of hate that the trial cannot be televised.

Poor folks in Haiti. Go US Marines and help the needed. Just say were coming and help. Mothers, Fathers and Children trapped. Maybe with fire approaching. Go Marines...My hope for the world's military. It is a shame for our governments not to go fast in these cases, helping each other in time of need. How much good we all could accomplish.

egrover - your Chikan story - I do not think it was the police legit system that you ran into but corruption. The Chikan may have been some VIP underworld fella. You uncovered him and brought shame to him. He could not rest til he had his revenge. Corruption via MichaelqTodds connections. Connections are nice, but when truth and justice are subservient to it, we may have injustice. Just my take on your story.
As for me, the police are always helpful. Just doing a job. But there is a dark underside to Japan as anywhere.

Molenir - Good posts. LEGITIMACY is what they are after. The alternate lifestyle is normal and natural! Kids need to be taught this from an early age! Once LEGITIMACY is granted all opposition will be silenced! Religions will be demonized by society! You may even be arrested for your hate speech. Welcome to Sodom.
Now The government is still under the natural order and should protect society from the tyranny of a few or even the majority. I do not know what drives people to same sex behavior and I wish to let them be free and let God be the judge (treated them always with dignified respect). But for the society it is best to stay with the natural behavior of male and female as the norm, as we can see in nature itself. Children are a product of male and female union. Quite natural and should be supported as such and not confused.
The male-female-children need extra help at times to bring in the next generation, such as education. Yes LEGITIMACY would help same sex couples adopt children. I for one am happy with having a Mom and Dad.
It is debatable that same sex couples be allowed to adopt. That is coming and for the children's sake it must be accepted or the violence done to the children in ridicule etc. is a result of both parties. The adopters and those wishing for the natural order. Children should never be abused. One could argue that for the children, marriage must be granted to families as such. Perhaps children could be put into the equation for what constitutes a "family with children". Perhaps more than one wife/husband could be allowed as well. Perhaps, forget about this marriage thing and just help children wherever they be.
Perhaps the natural family is outdated and is no longer needed. In theory it looks good perhaps. However, in reality, the natural family is where some very special things happen.
These are tough questions with very few answers. Certainly, I can leave anything I got to anyone in a will. Also, in time of sickness I could also give permission for anyone to see me. Everything can be done without messing with the traditional biological family. It really is LEGITIMACY that this movement wants. Next SILENCE all those who oppose. Reproduction by cloning other peoples children through education. A middle ground must be found because this cloning part will not go over well. Remember, special things happen in the natural biological family. Let us all be GOOD to one another as the natural order demands.

She survived a 15 meter fall. Lucky woman. Makeup and get on with raising the children. I think they will both think before acting after this scene. Could have been much worse and could have been no second chances. I hope for them.

“I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people,” Obama told his audience in Oslo’s soaring City Hall. “For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world.” I hope he succeeds to make the world a better place for us all.

How much are school taxes in Japan? Quite a bit less then in the US. But the cost saved is put on the family who has children. And it is a lot. In the US the burden is shared by all. There is so much pressure for money for the kids in the family that the family is forgotton. Like Christians speaking of Theology and forgetting that Jesus is the Son of God. The family should be a place of love and solidarity. The first society. Yet, Japan respects the family but gives little support as a society. I think.
