    Cleo,

    It's very weird how you seem to believe you're somehow closely involved in this matter, in a position to judge, and not just someone on the internet reading the news.

    These kids are not 'abducted Americans in Japan'.

    They are undeniably just that.

    and if he paid for Noriko's lawyer as he claims it puts one in mind of the proverb The man who pays the piper....

    What he said was "Noriko had hired her U.S. attorneys before she even got on a plane to come to the U.S. and we have solid evidence to prove it, including invoices (Yes, I paid for Noriko's lawyer with my credit card)"

    He "paid for it" because his credit card was used when she "hired her U.S. attorneys" and the idea that her divorce lawyer would be in her husband's pocket because his credit card was used is laughable.

    People who try to rationalize kidnapping are the reason for the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction. Now Japan needs to get onboard.

    BlueWitch,

    I was born and raised in this country and I feel I need to post the truth of what my grandparents thought me when I was a kid, so NO, no mere tactics or foreign tactics as I'm a Japanese national.

    That you seem to believe that constantly reminding everyone that you're born and raised Japanese in so many posts--as if it somehow transforms your opinions into facts beyond criticism--just screams 'sock puppet'. Well, that and you claimed to be a non-Japanese mother in your very first post here at JT.

    The photos have been out since yesterday. I can see why people might question them, but I think the use of photoshop, whilst helping people to see the similarities, should be stated as such.

    Photos have not been released. The photos that have been "out" since yesterday are fakes (and really bad ones at that).

    Universal crap? Lying? You sure like to cook and twist things around to suit your arguments don't you.

    I only stated a fact: claiming to understand things about the universe that one clearly does not is lying. You may use "faith" as a euphemism for such deception but I do not.

    It is obvious that your mind does go wondering, diverting to the universe and accusing people of lying

    You do understand what the word "universe" means, don't you? You seem surprised to learn that to make claims about gods, creation, etc. is to make claims about our universe.

    Are you claiming that the folks in this picture don't claim to possess such knowledge? Because as Christians, they make precisely that claim. And, yes, the pretense is just that.

    Moderator: Readers, please keep the discussion civil.

    For atheists, it's whatever they put as their most important value in their lives.

    By your logic, atheists care more about their friends and families. Interesting.

    Also by your logic, theists find "[more] value" in their gods than in their friends and families. This I don't buy; the self-delusion doesn't run that deep (for most anyway).

    Nobody is right or wrong here

    I wouldn't go that far. Claiming to understand things about the universe that one clearly does not is lying.

    Pointing out that no evidence for gods exists is correct. Especially for one who supposedly rose from the dead after earthquakes tore Jerusalem apart and zombies invaded the city...since, well, none of this happened.

    But atheists do worship something in their lives, don't they? Be it their husbands, dads, boss, children, career, money, etc. ..... whatever motivates them to go on another day through the tribulations of life?

    You've just described everyone in the world; pretending that being alive and human is equivalent to believing in and celebrating the zombie apocalypse of 33A.D.* is just silly.

    *Jesus wasn't the only one in the Easter narrative who rose from the dead. Matthew 27:51-53: And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

    Funny how all the historians missed this, too.

    There appears to be a positive correlation between distaste for the New York Times as a whole and spelling/grammatical errors.

    That’s odd . . .

    Australia has advised all its citizens in the Tokyo area to leave unless they must stay here for some reason.

    When/how was that communicated?

    Directly from the embassy's website, prominently featured at the top of the page:

    "ARPANSA advises that there is a small chance of contamination at very low levels for Australians who were in the Fukushima area at the time of the incident. The risk of health effects from exposure at these low levels is considered very low to negligible. Australians who were in the affected area at the time of the incident should continue to follow the advice of Japanese authorities.

    For those Australians in Japan but outside the affected areas, based on current information, ARPANSA advises that they are extremely unlikely to be contaminated and the health risks are negligible. As the situation develops, all Australians in Japan are strongly encouraged to continue to follow the protective measures recommended by the Japanese Government"

    I'm fairly sure the Japanese government hasn't recommended that all citizens leave Tokyo if they can.

    This is the homophobe who advocated quarantining AIDS paitents in the 90s. He is also a young earth creationist.

    That anyone would listen to anything this mouth-breather has to say is both puzzling and alarming.

    Relax willya? I think most of us looking at the photo understand what it is, even without the text telling us what it is or isn't.

    It seems the person who captioned the photo doesn't.

    Great story, but the movie with Gere sucked.

    The Richard Gere Hamutaro movie on the other hand . . .

    Yes, the one that was being fed by the restaurant daily.

    Greyfriars Bobby, who remained on his master's grave for 14 years.

    You mean the dog that was being fed by the restaurant next to the graveyard?

    You're right; that is very similar to Hachiko's story.

    It is extremely arrogant of humanity to think we are the only entities that feel emotions, loyalty, love or devotion. Especially when there is ample evidence to the contrary.

    Are you auditioning for Juilliard or what? You're talking about a dog.

    Just because you are too cynical to see something positive in this story, does not mean the story is wrong or untrue.

    I never said the story was untrue; he was being fed and there were two bad movies made about it.

    I for one will take the voice of the generation who saw the dog's behavior over that of nay sayers invoking unfounded limitations on the behavior of animals they have never observed.

    You mean the people that saw him coming for the yakitori or those feeding it to him?

    After all what gives humans the right to believe that we are the only creatures in the world with feelings, emotions or capable of caring?

    Laying it on a bit thick there, don't you think?

    eigokun. It is precisely this kind of bland negativity that is undermining Japanese society. Why would it be so impossible to believe that one creature could care enough about another to demonstrate such devotion.

    When did "reality" become synonymous with "bland negativity"?

    Dogs like chicken. Who'd have thunk it?

    eigokun your comment reflects your ignorance about mammal behaviour, or more specifically canine psychology.

    Because a dog would never hang around somewhere because they are being fed there. That's just unheard of.

    j4p4nFTW,

    I also love the store but after being told to stand in line to exit the store I vowed to never return. I refuse to be given orders by shop staff (or any civilian for that matter).

    You refuse to stand in line? You agreed to having your receipts checked when you became a member; if you don’t want to comply, you’re not allowed to shop there.

    Surely you don't think you’re any better than everyone else that was also trying to exit the store?

    Go look at his Youtube site. There is nothing political about this, guy, there is only lunacy.

    As Lizz correctly points out above, his rants on YouTube don't stem from his imagination; they come from various radical right-wing fringe figures.
