There is no baseball in the olympics simply because it is not a world sport. More countries play cricket.

There seems to be a lot of these cases in Japan, where someone kills or attempts to kill in order to get the death penalty. Without the death penalty the murder rate would be lower.

888naff you are simply wrong. seperating of trash is mostly so it can be burnt at different temperatures. Japan is one of the least "green" countries. You need to stop believing japanese TV.

He just doesn't understand about the uniqueness of Japanese robots....
Posted in: Simply turning our grandparents over to teams of robots abrogates our society's responsibility to each other, and encourages a loss of touch with reality for this already mentally and physically challenged population.

whale was a part of a very very small number of Japanese's diet until after WW2. The japanese have sucked the oceans dry of fish and won't stop until there is nothing left. It is greed and arrogance, thats all.

Ossan ... I suggest you read a little history before you characterize the early S, Korean state as democratic. One thing I have never understood about this is that many in Japan say they were forced to go to war against the west because of sanctions against them by the west, but cant see that if N. Korea took the same attitude they would start a war with Japan because of the japanese sanctions.

As others have pointed out, if someone want to learn a language, then they will. For those Japanese that want to learn english, the biggest impediment is the belief that katakan equals romaji. With perhaps the exception of mainstream america, most countries realize that other languages require different pronunciation and therefore make an effort to pronounce foreign names in the news for example correctly. The Japanese arrogantly refuse to deal with any other pronunciation other than theirs.
