Japan doesn't "borrow" its weaponry, it either imports them, produces locally under license, or produces its own domestic products. The only thing it doesn't do is export its weaponry.

Hey looky, smith gets it right for a change! That's right, because Japan has no capability to attack North Korea because of the provisions of its Constitution, which has resulted in Japan being a non-aggressive and non-offensive player on the international stage for the last 60 years, something you seem to overlook in fixating on the past.

smartacus;
That's because the two are related. I saw a video about it on the Youtubes.

What a silly poll - none of the above are conspiracies, and I should know because my pals in the Illuminati, Bilderberg Group, CFR, Freemasons, Opus Dei, NSA, and Elders of Zion all told me so.

As a happily married man, I find the idea of sex on a first date to be repugnant, but that's only because it doesn't apply to me anymore.

Squealing , or screaming, is what I felt like doing after reading this over-written PR piece.

Andre 3000? Obviously Chucky is better-dressed than a robot.
And thanks to the wire reports for pointing out that were talking about the heir to the British throne, as opposed to some other Prince Charles.

Exactly, a fairy tale.
Exactly, man has nothing to do with nature and neither does man's creation, aka God. The universe just happened, there's wonder and beauty but there's nothing after our little journeys here end.

Sorry, this life is all ya get. One shot at it and it's Game Over. People should really stop wasting their time on fairy tales of some afterlife.

herefornow;
In the rest of your post, I count zero instances of me being "wrong", as opposed to the apparent sin of having a different opinion from you.
Indeed - an amateur psychologist might have something to say about how you ignored the "most" in my original post and then spent half of your post attempting to wow us with your rent. Speaking for myself, most of the Tokyo residents I know (Japanese and other) live in smaller homes or condos than the typical North American digs, but hardly unlivable shoeboxes. They are also far too civil to feel the need to burden me with their rent/mortgage payments.
Ah, the good old "they" who are oblivious to all that's so obvious to a high rent payer such as yourself. Japan is indeed moving through some big changes, but the future is hardly as bleak as you seem to believe. Tokyo will be both grayer and futuristic.
Hyperbole.

Vegetarians still need to kill other living things to live, so will probably only be truly guilt-free when they can get by on photosynthesis alone. A bit of genetic engineering should do the trick.

If the F-22 does get canned I won't be worrying too much about Lockheed-Martin since they're also the ones building the F-35, along with cash from several other countries, so the pork will still roll in.

My take on Tokyo is that it's not as bad as most JT posters make it out to be because many of them are in the Tokyo area while working for a certain "profession" which places them fairly low on the socioeconomic sale (esp. salary) and makes them think that a majority of the pop lives in 1K shoeboxes like they do.

Note that it's ranked as such by Monocle magazine, hence it's 3rd most livable for readers of Monocle, which seems to be quite a different demographic than most JT posters or readers of Metropolis.
Whenever one of these surveys comes out ranking Tokyo or Vancouver as the greatest city people seem to forget that these rankings are intended for readers of those magazines and they are generally aimed at relocation on expat packages, esp. the EIU and Mercer ones. Again, not aimed at the typical JT or Metropolis type.
