Well he was born in japan so hardly a surprise that he's more "open" than his predecessor.

Maybe he'll visit yasukuni next?

Well that's more or less the point of having the olympics in the first place: to foster development of a country's infrastructure, and human rights record by putting it under the international spotlight. The only problem is china missed the point completely. Well,…

Seeing the age of the victims, I hope he really gets life and the sentence is not commuted. The fact that he got away from 27 cases, should tell how seriously rape complaints are handled by the japanese police. Obviously way behind retrieving lost bicycles on their agenda.

Build a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for the night. Set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I think these 2 idiots clearly deserve the latter.

When it's listen to the IAEA advice or blacking out tokyo, I guess the choice is really clear cut for japanese authorities.

In the new layout, "quote of the day" should have been renamed to troll of the day.

Deboning, really?

Posted in The U.S. did a great job at deboning the Japanese until most have no spine, no guts and no strength left in them. They couldn't do much to my generation, but most younger Japanese are as weak as one can get. at 03:58 PM JST - 9th April

Heh, over 50% of japan's coastline and riverbanks consists of concrete or tetrapods, or both. Which is why that coral transplanting thing is so interesting, because if viable, it could have much wider applications. The whole japanese archipelago is constantly losing land due to erosion, and with rising raw materials…

17% seems impossible to sustain for several year. Currency readjustments could tip the scales, but I don't think the yen will drop vs the dollar. Actually, Japan being one of china's main trade partners, I think both countries will make efforts to keep their currencies at roughly the same levels…

It's this kind of matsuri that reminds me why I miss japan so much.

That said, if they really intend to pray for protection against STD, I suggest they find a giant rubber to wrap their shrine in. Wrapping rope and folded paper around you kanamara is not only not…
