    Aso's comments simply show his background.

    Privileged upbringing, doing & saying what he wants. He has continuously displayed an air of arrogance. He knows little of tact, humility and sense of the situation. His speaking his mind is NOT strength of character, but a masquerade. Any fool can mouth opinions…

    nanda.... you gotta be kidding. Shoes at the genkan and on with slippers.

    And please give more details about the past brutal killings by such types from abroad.

    All the heinous murders i read in japan on a now almost daily basis are by Japanese and worst of all they…

    kinniku - "at least you knew where the man stood. This is the same for Aso"

    I beg to differ. We know very little about what Aso thinks. He poses and postulates, flipping so easily to cover his stumbles.

    Until now he has displayed a consistent "out of touch with…

    Some of fish shops I've frequented wouldn't pass a health/hygiene inspection in many countries.

    Some of the big supermarket chains - like Jusco in west japan - buy direct from contracted fishermen cutting out the middle guys and delivering a fresher cheaper product to the public.

    USninjapan - could you elaborate a little on "all the good that is currently symbolized by them".

    Whether you agree or not, all people in a true democracy have a right to express disapproval - esp with something holding as much political baggage as do the said flag & anthem.…

    No doubt Misia is a fine person and wouldn't knock anyone who tries to make a change.

    But I saw the programme on tv of her first visit(I guess) and singing Believe(I think) to the kids and just couldn't help think - like what the hell is this. I squirmed…

    to david@tokyo - observing from a point of no particular vested interest I'd say imacat's stated bits appear far more compelling.

    Whether you consider Antartica Australia's backyard or not is of little note, as Australia's historical association with the said land, esp with a notion of conservation foremost, is beyond…

    Jefflee is right on the money.

    Insanity - pure insanity displayed by all who purchase it.

    Damn buying American water in one of the wettest countries on earth.

    Next people will be buying Italian bags & German cars coz they think they're better.

    Poor souls.

    eb & koi - you obviously know nought about Y.O.

    She's a celebrated artist/performer/patron....... in her own right, recognized for her contributions to many fields for decades.

    It was lennon who pursued her not the other way'roun.

    rjdjr - "Learn the Language???" I assume you know his level of comprehension.

    And what is ridiculous is your claim he couldn't understand basic safety signs - where does it say that?

    He claims the memorandum he was forced to sign was in too difficult Japanese for him to understand.…
