    What's all the negative stuff on here for?

    Let them have their win!

    They deserve encouragement.

    Japanese soccer has come a long way!

    The Olympic spirit is best expressed in the Olympic Creed:

    "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

    Who said that Japan needs protecting against China?

    What is this "Al Capone."

    "Don't worry, son. We'll protect you!"

    OUT: TV reportage that consists of ONLY the events with Japanese athletes in.

    OUT: Endless analysis and discussion about the events.

    EVEN FURTHER OUT: "Expert" opinion and analysis of events and athletes.

    IN: A reasonably FAIR coverage of events.*

    *Not only the events where Japanese teams or athletes came 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

    Oberst,

    As a bonus point, may be the J youths will get some backbones and help defend their own country instead of relying on the hated gaijins.

    Japanese people don't hate gaijins.

    I don't think they hate anyone.

    Hate isn't really a common Japanese emotion.

    If they hated gaijins, they would not have put up with the noise, crime and inconvenience of being forced to host the US military.

    They resent them, sure.

    And they resent the spineless Japanese politicians who cannot say NO to the American diplomats who insist that Okinawa be crowded out with American bases.

    Paul Arenson writes:

    As to those who claim that the U.S. is here to defend Japan, the opposite is true. Japan is a target because the U.S. keeps its weapons of mass destruction here, and there have been several reports garnered from US Freedom of Info requests that show the U.S. keeps, or at least kept, atomic weapons here. Of course, Agent Orange. All destined for use on the Vietnamese, but also U.S. service people were also reportedly affected. Possibly Japanese as well.

    We are sick of being lied to.

    Lied to by the Tokyo government.

    And lied to by American diplomats.

    Corrupt dictators have no place shoulder to shoulder with the inheritors of the American revolution.

    Seems to me that if the UN is as you say that the "Inheritors of the American Revolution" fit in beautifully there.

    If the Osprey had a good safety record, people would probably not complain,

    LOL. How patronizing. Do you think we were born yesterday?

    I can't speak for Bertie, but I do.

    Gosh with all the crap on this "discussion" it's not surprising that people like Bush and Obama get elected.

    Americans, your country is collapsing.

    It's going bankrupt.

    Don't you care?

    Just a query, but if the lesbian scout mother kept her sexual identity private, as 99% of people do, how would they every know? I think people shoot themself in the foot by constantly having to trumpet their sexuality.

    Reckless-san,

    Totally agree.

    I don't go around with a T-shirt that says "Hetero-Pride!"

    Sex has no place in the scouts, gay or hetero.

    I wonder which scenario you would prefer if you had been one of these unfortunate women:

    "What did you do in the war, Grannie?"

    A) "I was an enforced sex slave." "What does that mean?" "I had sex with 20 soldiers a day."

    B) "I was a comfort woman." "What does that mean?" "I made the soldiers feel comfortable."

    I think both Romney and Obama need to learn to be human.

    Nah!

    Couldn't happen!

    Are guys who put out reports like this people with a lot of time on their hands?

    It certainly looks like it.

    Fadamor, you are using REALLY LITTLE words so that warispeace can understand. I wonder if you know the word "Patronizing," because that's what you are doing. And your comment on warispeace's statement is non-sequitur. (Don't got nuffink to do wiv it.)

    I completely agree with you about Obama.

    About the police, you have a point, but I do not think that all those who have problems bring it upon themselves.

    I wonder what you think about the TSA?

    Those people complaining about the cold !!!... Have you never heard of insulation? How do you suppose millions of people around the world manage to survive, in colder places than your centrally heated Tokyo appartment?

    This is not Tokyo.

    Wrapping up warm doesn't cut it!

    If you haven't lived in Hokkaido, you don't know the extent of the cold, snow and ice.

    Of course there is insulation.

    There is also double glazing and double front doors (Open the outside door, enter the hallway. Shake the snow off your coat and take off your boots. Then open the door and enter the house).

    They have another word for cold.

    Samui (cold) - (0 degrees) Shibareru (really, really cold) (minus 10, 20 degrees)

    Attatakai (attake-) is plus one or two degrees.

    Yuni has a nice onsen and a good bakery. And it's a nice place to visit. Hokkaido fish, vegetables and beer are excellent.

    Yubari in Hokkaido declared bankruptcy a few years ago. And with Hokkaido's reliance on gasoline for heating and all transportation, I don't think it's going to be a hundred years before other areas in Hokkaido go under.
