Maybe if the Japanese and the pointy nosed Europeans ate a little more US beef, they'd stop acting like sheep.

The fact remains that unlike Europe and Japan, BSE has never been a problem in the US. Its a fact US beef can be sold three time cheaper than similar…

pathat: I have no problem with either point.

The US military does not deserve sympathy. I recognize the fact that while serving in a foreign country their behavior should be above reproach. However, to err is human and some will mess up, and some will mess up badly. Fortunately the…

The only drip I see in the article is the drip drip drip of no information.

No where in the article does it mention what medicines or supplements are being administered in the drips.

I would guess these drips are nothing more than placebos with a little bit of B12.…

This story is being covered with the same intensity as the cute little Filipina that got chopped up a few weeks ago.

How many people can you fit in the Tokyo Dome.

Here's my proposal.

Japan has a national suicide day. They sell tickets to the 30,000 poor souls that will kill themselves during the year. Take in a Giant game then about an hour after the game is over, sit in…

smithjapan: you are avoiding the premise of my argument for obvious reasons, you know as well as I do the Japanese are protectionists.

The source of the gyoza scare a few months ago remains a mystery. The majority of the speculation centered around disgruntled Chinese employees that was never proven.…

Any 38 year old man that messes around with a 14 year old girl has got some serious mental defects. Hadnott is going down. Maybe not on rape charges but more than likely, child pornography or other related charges.

Mr. Hadnott congratulations, your face is the face every Marine will…

Are any of you familiar enough with the Japanese inspection system to say that inspections cannot be rigged?

When domestic beef sits next to imported beef on the supermarket shelves and the price of the domestic beef is two to three times more expensive, all things being equal, which one…

I would like to think this rotten piece of trash spends at least 30 years behind bars, but he'll likely only get half that.

At 22, the prospect of this guy getting out of prison at still a relatively young age does not seem fair to the victim. Hanging the…

With this new form of suicide, the number of suicides in Japan will likely exceed 30,000 per year for the foreseeable future.
