A commitment to peace. Fine. Obviously japan will never attack anyone as it's so weak. But what will they do when China arrives to take over?? Wave Kitty in their faces??

Why English? There are more Chinese and Spanish speakers in the world. Speak Mandarin and Spanish.

ha ha ha Who the hell, would want to take japanese citizenship?? We are just talking about local voting here. Sooner or later, PRs will get the local vote here and then the PRs who are against don't have to exercise their vote. So we are all happy.

PRs should get the local vote. They can have a say on issues such as rubbish collection and street lighting etc. How subversive is that! Otherwise why care about your locality if you have no say?

I guess it's because posters are so used to foreigners being blamed for all ills in japan that when a foreigner really does do a crime (maybe) they just don't believe it. But times are hard, jobs are hard to find, english schools are collapsing, who knows??

Cool Biz What rubbish! So you can take your stupid tie off, big deal! Who invented the tie anyway, stupid piece of cloth just dangling there?!! Now if you could work naked that would be really Cool Biz and increse productivity in the workplace. But on second thoughts, the sight of some of the battleaxes unclothed would probably make me feel ill and lower productivity!

Japanese just love to be together in their groups don't they! Who would do this everyday?? The same weak pathetic workers who work 12 hours day, unpaid overtime and have no holidays. In London last year when I visited England on business, I suppose you could say at least they were at least a bit more spirited. On the underground in rush hour I witnessed 2 full blown fist fights. Entertaining at least! Do the japanese go in for fisticuffs too on the Tokyo subway??

Don't get involved in a "situation". As a foreigner, you will be the one arrested regardless. Happened to my mate just recently. Keep clear. Let one of the natives do it.
