I agree.
Lets also remember that the "concentration camps" were invented during the US Civil War.
Don't believe me check the historical records. They were-reused during the boer-war and gained fame during WW II.

Why does it have to be the UN, military action or the US?
Can't you guys think beyond military force, guns, etc. Why do you need armies to enforce laws?
How about a multi-national force consisting of the best special forces/anti-terrorist groups from the world. And YES it would mean that members have to go against their leaders.
You guys seem to be trapped in we can't be touched by another army so we got a free card to do what we want. We are the toughest and nothing will happen without us saying it is good.
This is the VERY same imperial thinking that doomed other empires across the ages.
Guess what Mossad, etc taught a few guys different.
And this thinking is BS and upsets the rest of the world.

USAR.
And you forget the roman one which formed the basis for most western law systems, which predate the US ones.
But keep thinking the US invented it all and there was only chaos prior to the USA. Heck even the founders of the US constitution based it on british ones they grew up with(which in term stem from roman ones, etc).
Your beliefs are only against anything that has been proven and known in the west for millenia.
I admire your jingoism but you are way wrong. And a wee bit of study shows it.

Myself don't see a need to upgrade.
My current Softbank handset has 3G, MP3, TV, good camera(Pic and Video), GPS, infrared, bluetooth, etc. And whoever said they are struggling with a japanese interface hasn't found the setting to switch to english(don't work on PHS). ;)
Not saying the IPhone is rubbish, just not worth it for me to learn a new interface, etc.

This NOT a new conflict.
****His conflict with his superiors started after Japan Post introduced new grooming regulations in 2004.****
So far close to 4yrs on it, how many companies you know that wouldn't have fired him a long time ago? Nothing to do with privatization, etc as the ruling predates it.

Grr. "One world goverment"

USARonin.
Explain the "One World Goverment" I supports as YOU claim. WHO are they and where are they based? Lets have the facts and names? I don't know about them so tell me ALL about it.
Is it a "One World Goverment" because it would hold your country and your goverment responsible for their actions or WHAT?
How come the other INTERNATIONAL(like the "I" in ICC) groups I mentioned are not "One goverment goverment" groups that the USA supports and YOU got NO opposition to them?
Come on besides reposting the same stuff and accusations lets have your views and explanation.
Never seen you support your views with facts that hold up to the rest of the world.

BTW, do the FBI, Scotland Yard, Mossad speak for their goverments.
Neither does the ICC, WTO, WHO, etc represent a world goverment as you imply.

JoeBigs.
And THAT is the exact major problem that the ICC faces. People like you who can't see things in their true perspective.
NONE of the Mao, Mugabe, Hitler, etc supporters would have turned them over either.
Yeah, lets hand Hitler over AFTER he killed 11mill people(true figure), 6mill is the fig quoted by the Israeli who ignore 5 mill non-jews.
If you can't stop a person during the act of comiting wrong aren't you an accessory?
Just saying there should be a higher authority(not a world goverment) that holds leaders responsible and it should be held by all nations of the world.
IMO, the ICC is the closest we got so far, perfect = not really.

ROFL.
Prove where I said that I support a one-world goverment. You can't because I never did.
Get real, the USA is NOT the top-dog and the rest of the world don't care about your yapping and posing.
Yeah, I can say the USA sucks, etc and neither you nor your goverment(CIA/FBI/etc) can do anything about it.
You need to realize that the world don't dance to the US tune no matter how much you want it.
Patriotism is fine and dandy but getting a real-world feel beats it anytime.

Why mention the communist china bear? And avoid the US/British/etc goverment.
Oh, I forgot you are above the rules that you enforce on the rest of the world.

USARonin.
How can I HATE the west if I am a westerner myself? Care to explain.
Not supporting a one-world goverment but everyone NEEDS to be held to the same standards.

The countries should give them up, if not face action by other countries.
You as an average Joe try to defy a court-order and guess what the cops are at your door-step. Should be the same for world-leaders.
And I don't buy the line, we won so we get to set the standards and prosecute the losers as they did after WWII, etc.

Funny story.
My company NEVER objected to my below shoulder-length hair, but at a covention when I attended they objected to me carrying a Motorbike helmet and leather-jacket(needed protection).
Heck I was wearing tie and suit, usually carried the suit jacket in saddle-bags and changed when I got there. Will I leave a $500 Helmet + Jacket on the bike = NO WAY.
We had 4 Bikers(all club members so we carried colours) in my division who ONLY commuted via Bike, heck company even gave us covered parking. 2 spots for 6 Bikes.
Myself done with the corporate machine, now self-employed.

I think the ICC should apply to everyone.
There should be no saying like "I disagree and thus you got no jurisdiction over me".
Same for other international organizations like the IAEA, WTO, WHO, etc why should countries like Israel, USA, etc be free to chose which rules they fall under and which not.

I am not disagreeing with you guys.
Recent trend is now that companies can fire you if you don't fit their profile of a healthy individiual or if deemed over-weight and can't shed pounds in a given time-frame. Never mind the compulsory drug-tests, etc.
One just needs to read the overseas news to see cases and companies like that.

Cleo.
Welcome to the corporate world. This has been going for decades and even longer.
This is not just something in Japan, remember one major international company was called the "Blue Suit Brigade" as everybody had to were blue business suits.

When an employer changes contract, rules, etc the employees are FREE to sign up under the new conditions or leave. NO?

I am with USNinJapan2.
There are regulations for correct attire, etc. And for some reasons.
Not sure about the person in question here as I haven't seen/met him, but it looks like in 2004 NEW regulations came into being(big whooping deal happens in any company worldwide).
He didn't conform, he knew about it for the last 4yrs and was free to leave and take new employment.
It is a companies right to set rules on how their employees should be dressed, tattooed, pierced or even hair-styled as the look of their employees is part of the image and brand they try to project.
People that don't like the rules are free to leave, simply just another condition in the employment contract(which change from time to time).
Just my view.
