Bamboohat: We have the same problem here in Sweden and likely all of Europe. The problem is called human nature: when someone gets accustomed to power over others, he will not willingly part from it. That is why representative democracy doesn't work; eventually an establishment of career politicians will develop.…

DeepAir65: The economy is screwed anyway, a system that relies to exports to a nation that is bancrupt can't last forever. The government should come up with a new solution instead of printing money.

OT: Didn't the first stage actually fall into Japans economic zone? Oh, and this is more…

techall: Only this time it's the rest of the world whose been breaking treaties.

There are two solutions to this problem. 1) Might makes right: The 'International' community colonize Somalia in a 'UN protectorate'. 2) Parley! ^_^. Talk with the pirate factions, force all ships to travel outside Somali territorial…

True, but perhaps this will show that Japan, a basically sound economy, is too dependant on exports. The Japanese government considered a technocratic solution before, maybe they will pull that up again?

kwilkins: The Japanese aren't anymore brainwashable than any other industrialized people on the planet. Most of the time it only takes a few dead people and the whole society goes into retarted military revenge mode. This is the result of politicians controlling education.

In my opinion, however, the Japanese are…

It's nice that, while not always accepted, so many sub-cultures have their own place in Japan. It's also nice how you could be an otaku publicly and not be beaten up ;)

Isn't a missile any object, guided or not, that is launched by humans with the intention to reach a target instead of just going as high as possible? There's a reason arrows are called missile weapons ^_^.

You guys are talking about 2chan as if it was a single being, which it isn't. There are in fact 10 million users of it. Its large enough to have created its own sub-culture, in which unfounded rumour and slander is used as some form of humour. No one actually…

Bakabaka: Actually, people in most 'democratic' countries tend to just vote for what they voted last time, or not vote at all. Most pollings here in Europe regularly find that the ruling party's ideology rarely is in line with that of the majority, and the majority of voters vote after…

In my opinion, life without parole is worse than a death sentence. While I don't agree with the death sentence in general, with today's lousy psychiatric care it is perhaps better for these few dangerous and obviously mentally ill REPEAT offenders.

Still, I definitely thik the courtroom should include a…
