When did the Emperor or anyone else held out in any tangible and explicit way to the Allied side for a negotiated peace that would have allowed the IJA and JGOV of 1945 to escape any responsibility?

The possible reason why the Supreme Allied Powers decided to restore the Emperor…

Oh, puleeeeeeeeze! Do JP media want to dramatize the story of a fallen celebrity just like Anna Nichole Smith??? And what an irony for her choosing a wrong path!!! I have no sympathy for her. She did exactly opposite to what she was doing 16 years ago. That's a huge…

There are sooooo many people here who have no idea about the insolence teachers have to put up with from students!

"Insolence"??? I had trouble understanding what you just said above. This is not about their academic performance or commitment to a(n) academic/social life. If you are referring to their…

No wonder the criticism of Japanese public school education system is an ordinary practice in a civil society. It's really sad to see one misbehavior by a responsible adult(a teacher) who lost a temper giving the students and parents extremely bad impressions on the whole school system.

Another one suckered by Obama.

I don't understand what you mean by that. Although Obama is committed to the disarmament of nuclear weapons in the world, endorsing and implementing a comprehensive nuclear-freezing campaign is not an easy task for the US as well as other nations to achieve. One's personal…

Another story of shooting. Two days in a row...

A disgruntled man who bungled up his life barging in with a firearm blazing...,

It's so terrifying that some people are so easily going insane and the guns are so easily accessible to such psycho-maniacs and whacko-heads.

"Why the Japanese Are a Superior People"

I just don't feel comfortable with the title of a book. Although I'm a Japanese citizen, like it or not, 'superior' just doesn't sound like a right word. To me, it just invokes the notion of an eugenics or the pursuit of…

The Quinnipiac University poll found 61% of the more than 2,400 American voters questioned believe the U.S. did the right thing. Twenty-two percent called it wrong and 16% were undecided.

This is just one of those random samplings. I don't believe this poll clearly reflects the public opinion in the…

I guess most people don't want to see the nightmare in a renowned international event-- unleashing the shock values of extremely sensual garment through public media-- like JJ's wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl Half-Time Show in 2004.
