MeanRingo, American trains are actually smaller and slower. They also have a rougher ride as well. The Pokemon makes the trains look kawaii or cute in english.

kinniku, I still do not see where it is illegal. I would have to view the evidence but think he would of gotten life in prison if they were doing anything of a sexual nature. I still do not see the problem except Cambodian wanting to show how tough they…

smithinjapan, are you saying that Japan will have to defend herself unless they give in to the American orders? After they get the Senkaku islands what will China demand next? I worry that the Chinese will demand the Okinawa Prefecture. Things like this make Japan wonder just how good of…

Farmboy, it would make any nation think twice before attacking Japan. I do not see China attacking Japan but if Japan has 50 to 100 warheads... China losing 50 of its cities would be devastating. What could they gain from an attack? I do not think the Americans have been…

smithinjapan, how long have you lived in Japan? Just taking non sexual pictures of naked children is not a crime. Japanese need to be careful in these countries. Also the local governments love to put Japanese in jail. Best bet for Japanese to go on holiday is to visit the…

Seems like a good reason not to visit Cambodia or get a legal briefing before visiting. This Japanese man did what would NOT be a crime in Japan. Naked children is not considered porn in Japan unless it is done while committing a sexual act. In America taking pictures of…

BeaverCleaver, does not matter. It is the responsibility of the driver to avoid accidents. Even if the auto has to come to a complete stop to do this. There may be the "fact of steel" but Japanese law is what is important. Unlike America a driver can not say the…

skipthesong, China is just using their weight to get their way. Perhaps it would be in the Australians best interest to keep up the pressure. Threats do not sit well and are uncalled for behavior. What would China be without that ore? About their investments, have you ever heard of…
