  This is the kind of action that send foreign investors to places like China. At a time when perhaps Japan needs more foreign investors.

  The question remains, though, TCI asked J-Power for something and J-Power rushed off to the government for protection. Could it be that J-Power administrators realized the…

  a knife with an around 20-centimeter blade with no legitimate reason.

  Is this a big knife? I don't think so. Maybe he was looking for some watermelons to carve up. Besides, 'no legitimate reason'? He was going to kill himself with it! Time honored tradition!

  Also, isn't there a big…

  spotehun,

  I believe Japan sends equipment, supplies, loans (maybe interest free), and other things the stricken country requests but I, too, seldom see Japanese rescue squads rushing abroad to aid. I believe they did in the 2005(?) Indian Ocean tsunami disasters.

  I remember that the Swiss(?) rescue squads were in…

  What is the legal definition of involuntary manslaughter in Japan? The police shouldn't be charged with murder but a lessor charge of some sort seems to be an option.

  I think I know how

  At some point, Kubota gained access to a lighter and subsequently caught fire.

  He probably pulled it out of his pocket. Also, do not the police realize how dangerous is was to them to have a man soaked in a flammable substance sitting in the…

  Now? people are becoming more aware of their rights? After 65 years of democracy? Either the Japanese people are slow learners or Kayama is barking up the wrong tree. If people are more aware of their rights (and taxes) they would probably be less like to call the police and…

  Actually, MPLS2, if you can prove any bribery, bid rigging, price fixing or kickbacks against any company in the US, I'm sure a few state attorney generals would like to know about it.

  I listened to a recording industry analyst who said Christine Aguilera makes more money on ringtone downloads than she does on her music. In fact, the record company didn't think ringtones were such a big deal and left them out of her contract. She owns All of the ringtone money.…
