I do wish people would stop talking about salarimen having to spend every minute of their lives at work as a positive thing.

It's wonderful that the proles are at last protesting against this abuse by not breeding. For decades the Japanese government put family happiness at the bottom of…

This guy is clearly an idiot, but he is justified in feeling hard done by when the useless Japanese government do nothing whatsover about the similar sentiments in the Yasukuni war museum, fueling new generations of ignorant Japanese.

I think having a range of opinions like the ones you described would be a good thing, Braniac. Of course, some people will be more persuasive than others, but it certainly can't hurt to have a variety of points of view. And when the judges do little more than rubber…
