I'd have no problem if he actually had a stance on the issue, but he has multiple personality disorder here. Look, which is it? Hatoyama doesn't have a clue what he wants either way.

This is typical of everything that's come out of this guy's mouth. He talks as if…

Everybody in Japan knows Mikitty means Miki Fujimoto. Nice try though.

And to add to that irony, Japan wants American bases. Doesn't make the problems that servicemen cause okay. The fact is, Japan is always complaining about the bases but they're the real reason we still have them. Something about "forever renouncing war" which they're now realizing is a pile of…

Yuri, I never disagreed that Americans can be a burden on Okinawa. I was referring only to tour extreme comments about them being pretty ironic given the brutality of Okinawa's history under Japan. The fact that Okinawans like being Japanese today is irrelevant to the fact that they've also been…

The two paragraphs of this article don't say what "open skies" actually means. It takes Beelzebub's comment to expand that we're talking about opening certain flights up to foreign competition. The article barely hints at this.

If only we could send troubled kids to the military before they turn 18.

If you feel you have the right to an opinion, don't you think other people are also entitled to their own? Yes, that includes character judgements based on your beliefs. Big deal.

Call my cynical, but waiting for the victims to die is obviously Japan's best strategy. Japan loves to demand apologies but never gives them for far greater atrocities. Ever.

This guy still hasn't any idea what he even wants, but can't help but shoot his mouth off in every direction. Hey, make a decision one way or the other stop fantasizing about having your cake and eating it too. Getting Japan to take care of their own defense would…

Exactly, the last thing I want at a classic Kyoto restaurant are other gaijin who read about it in a guidebook. The same with my favorite hiking trails. Now if some restaurants happen to agree, so be it. Many restaurants prefer regulars over one-timers, that's just their way of doing…
