Well Taj, we'll have to just disagree. The negotiated settlement I refer to is to respect the spirit of the moratorium and the majority of the members of the IWC rather than leverage pork barrel diplomacy and legal loopholes. But you know that.
In my almost 30 year relationship with Japan and its people I'd say I've met many more who think the situation is ludicrous and a waste of resources than have had their curiosity peaked, or are angry with Sea Shepherd. The market is the final arbiter though and auctions don't attract buyers and retail sales continue to fall.

Taj, you may be right but only to point. Sea Shepherd are a symptom of the failure of the authorities to find a negotiated settlement. While you will always get those that take a vocal hard line stance, many in Japan are simply embarrassed by the country's position. Even with the little meat coming in from the research and imports, the whale meat market continues to shrink. The silent majority are voting with their wallets.

"Man hires men to smash his Maserati in protest". I bet that taught them a lesson.
This man sounds like a petulant kid.

I'm not sure you're right when it comes to effectiveness. Diplomatic efforts have had no effect on Japan's whalers at all, ever, let alone since the moratorium. Essentially SS gets the support it does because of all the years of prevarication. Dislike them if you will but here's no denying their effectiveness.

Impossible to know if the guy that died was the banks an or just another worker on the site. On thing is for sure, he had no right being underneath the load being lifted. Sounds like the consequences of a badly planned lift.

So far 9 donators and 51 nos. if this ratio were maintained SS will do very well.

Not good. Hope the EU takes notice and applies sanctions.

Me. Thick cut, twice fried, a little sea salt and white wine vinegar. Only improved by wrapping a few in a slice of bread and butter.

Otago1000 "And Japan has justify China needs of rearming!"
China isn't rearming, the PRC's always had a huge standing army. What they're doing is upgunning and creating a blue-water capability. The question is why does China feel the need to project power far from home?

"it's only the "geek" types who are interested in Cool Japan."
It could be a pretty far sighted approach.. If you look at the world of business, geeks are the new jocks.

"They're lucky we weren't reviewing this paper."
Interesting perspective. I think if all scientific papers were given to the Japan Today contributors for review we could cure the world. Anarchy and chaos would certainly rein in human progress.

Cliques exist in all walks of life. Two rather palid one sided examples to not a conspiracy make. The learning to take from this should be, do your research, look at both sides of the story.

Interesting article and generally quite supportive. So far though, no-one&s thought of asking what went wrong. If you don't know why your people make a mistake, you can't help hem fix it.

No one here can judge this woman. The only information from the story is that he's dead, she admits to killing him and she says she didn't know what to do.
The woman's already demonstrated her love for her son by caring for him for 25 years. It's all well and good to say she should have sought help but I would speculate that after all that time she was receiving all the help she was ever going to get. This is a tragic story with no simple answers. Just think yourself lucky it's not you in either the mother or son's position.

Poke,"but how long do people really need to live anyway, in retirement, severely disabled?"
How callous can you be? Everyone should live as long as they can, able bodied, or otherwise.

Obviously a titanic struggle for survival between the two, no doubt ranging across the store and culminating in mutual destruction at the top of the escalator. There's a seat at the top table in pigeon heaven for the little birdy......he...he...faught bravely.

Francis Urquhurt, you've obviously been hurt and clearly it still smarts.
My relationship with Japan goes back to the mid eighties. Although self employed now, I've worked for Japanese businesses as well as foreign. I've seen the behaviour you described and come a cropper on cultural issues many times. Life got much better when I stopped trying to change Japan to suit me.

Francis Urquhart, 26 years married to mine and I still find her cute. Over the years I'd say roughly half of the marriages of friends have failed, be they mixed or not. Bitterness seems to come with the break up, not the nationality. I wish you luck and hope you get to move on.
