Ktwatt: The problems with Japans nuclear power stations is the poor maintanance, not the actual structures.
All problems have been caused by human error so please try to get teh facts correct. The technology may be good, but Japan has terrible maintance record.

Thsi is a terrioble thing to befall Britains next PM. He was devoted to his son, and changed his views on the NHS issues because of the great work they did with his son. His experience has made him a strong advocate of the free health service, and he is a upper class ex public school boy.

It has nothing to do with "unique culture" rubbish etc, the bloke is alledgly a sexual offender.
However , i don't trust the J police with their interrogation techniques, and strong armways of gaining dubious confessions.

ANOT SUSAGAMI: I've been dealing in video games for 18 years, and i know what i am talking about. Many of the sim games here depict underage girls undressing etc. These sim games are made to feel real so the user can interact with the charecter on screen. There are a large amount of Japanese OTaku who actually are strongly influenced by these games. I should know i have met some. Thousands recently held a petition for teh law to allow them to marry 2d sim anime characters.
Please don't preach to me about knowledge of gaming. I've been playing since the seventies and have many hundreds or over atrhousand emails a year asking my advice about gaming. Simulated rape cannot be compared with games such as GTA. Japanese porn and sims like this will encourage some to perform these acts, it is a stimuli and many of these users are Oytaku, with no real friends and lack social interaction.
Indeed this game and the other similar games portraying pre teens in a sexual nature should be banned, it encourages women to be treated as 2nd class and as sexual objects from pre teen upwards.

I agree with taiko666 mostly bacause of the Slingbox info and people should mind their own business about veggies.
My mate in Britain is veggie, so if he came round for an evening, i would make a veg curry, have some chapatis adn veg samosas and of course beers.
It is a lifestyle choice and if it's one of your family or mates you should respect that. It only takes a little effort to be understanding and not cynical.

ANOT SUSAGAMI: I suggest playing a Japanese sim game and you will undrstand my previous post about why this game is vile. You do not understand the genres as your post illustrates.

ANOT SUSAGAMI: Resident Evil 4 is an acyion game. This game about rape is a simulation, which with graphics these days and a storylline is supposed to make the act seem as real as possible.
It cannot be compared to game slike GTA. You have to know the differneces in genre to understand. Japanese sim games try to be realistic to make the player feel truley involved, a benign sim is DEnsha De GO the train driving sim.
I suggest peeple learn more about Japanes simulation games and the differnece between action games before comnapring the two and justifying this piece of filth game.

Of course he's a paedo prevert. Anyone who excuses thsi kind of behaviour should be ashamed of themselves.
He needs to serve time and dwell on what he has done, the dirty sod.

WEll done DPRK, that should stop the US bully boys from invading you and destroying your nation like they did with Iraq. N Korea is only interested in keeping the regime intact and self defence. Let them test missiles, i mean Israel does and how many other countries have N Korea invaded in the last 40 years?

Typical Japanese self obsession, which i have stated on here many times before, only for the Japanophiles to state all countries act like this re sportsman etc. If so why is the rest of the world teed off with the J Media.
Another negative report that tarnishes Japans increasingly poor image abroad. NHK world needs a lot of propoganda to try to reverse the trend.

People comparing this to GTA do not understand the difference. GTA is an action game, the rape game is a simulation, that trys to make the game realistic so the player actually feels they are raping.
This is dedicated to a sick section of Japanese society, a case recently was where a man wanted to marry a 2D character from a love sim game. Some peole in Japan get so caught up in these games that the link between fantasy and reality is blurred.
GTA and similar games do not try to have that realistic edge that Japanese sim games have. You have to know about the different genres to make a comparison, and i do know the difference.

If this is actually linked to the Asahi attacks it is most likely to be extreme right wingers, who feel thaht the Emperor or his forefathers have been slighted or not painted in the rosey way they wish.

I think the people who still blindly support Bush and his failed policies are fools, as are the Republicans trying to stop Obama's plans to save America. Tee Hee!
