  Use of bilingual signs with correct grammar is on the increase. Can't see that being a bad thing.

  The idea of everyone trying to sense what the judge or the most senior juror is thinking makes for an amusing parody of a typical meeting (where nobody really cares what's going on), but I don't see that actually happening here. Either way it's a huge improvement of the current…

  That he doesn't make movies about "good vs evil" is something that always attracted me to his stories. Mononoke is a shining example of this, that each of the many parties involved could at any point be seen as good OR evil, depending on your point of view, and the…

  Definite qualified no to the first one. The comparison to a doctor giving out medicine they know will be harmful is bogus, because all medicine and alcohol can be both harmful or beneficial depending on the way the patient/customer ends up using it. If a doctor prescribes a month's worth…

  I'm personally glad Japan does not have a law against questioning the past, as that is thought crime pure and simple, a concept alien to a free nation.

  As for the history of apologising... Japan pays money so they complain that it didn't come with an apology. Japan apologises at…

  If the last election was anything to go by, the LDP will be out by mid 2010. The electorate are mighty pissed at the way things have been going, and Obama becoming president is only going encourage that.

  I'm curious to know what would happen if such a child born…

  MEXT only gets to regulate content of official text books which require their endorsement. These kinds of books can be published mostly free of restriction.

  Just to clear up a few points. Debito not only observed the police in Chitose Airport stopping whites only, he also asked the officer that questioned him directly, at which the officer confirmed that was their policy. It's on the recording.

  Also, as a fellow white Japanese citizen, I should…
