this only proves that whatever wikileaks was publishing is true and right on the spot. and it doesn't reveal American diplomatic maneuvering to be no0thing but, diplomatic whore-mongering.

They are after the wrong person, Assagne did not steal the documents in question, he published them.
This is typical American behaviour of going after the wrong culprit for something someone else did.
Same as the U.S. going after Iraq in the aftermath of 9/11, blaming them for 9/11.
And please dont argue that innocent lives were lost because, they have taken 10 times as many innocent lives. and these documents prove that.

The attitude seen here is the same the world saw of the British when they were on a colonizing spree.
In the words of President George W Bush, 'If you are not with us, you are against us'. I guess the Obama admin is just furthering the same policy.

I think the Police need lessons in morals,,, shouldn't they diverge their energies in educating these youngsters through seminars and other promotional avenues. Or simply think-up new ventures that will give them jobs, or better ye just fingerprinting all kids under 18, just like the fingerprint all (GAIJIN).
And Lastly I would advise the Police to get their crooked laws straight. How confusing can it get when under Japanese laws the age of consent for sexual activity is 13 and the age of marriage is 16 (with parental consent), whereas it is a crime to have sex if you are under 17.
They have a problem and its in-house but, they still want to go after businesses.
On the bright side it would be a plus to see love hotels with a Jonathan's or a Denny's on their first floors.

but, desire or more exactly the drive for sex is dying in Japanese girls. Funny thing is they do not even want the expensive gifts from skebe oyaji salarymen in exchange for sex, now the trend is all about expressionism, Japanese girls want themselves known for their individual uniqueness and creativeness, not as symbols of sex.

firstly the news ir misleading. they are only offering the service to subscribers who sign for internet through them and will only be covered for stationary locations. they will never transmit anything over the 3g network for your Iphone, you will have to be within the range of your wifi in your home.
secondly I consider all cable operators to be ripoffs, they are charging the customer for a bunch of channels showing more than 60%ads on top of charging heavily for the ads.

Softbank is able to offer free calls between softbank users because they have their own satellite system. AU lagged behind in offering this feature because they rent bandwidth on satellites and cell towers owned by NTT. Piggybacking voip calls through skype is a brilliant idea to say the least. I heard that they are putting skype onto regular Japanese handsets (apart from smartphones), which will make the users sign up for a data plan to use the feature. My guess is that a skype only data plan will cost the user about 2500yen (compared to a 500yen smartphone plan) above the regular cellular plan they already have. Its just wishful thinking though.

Since banks are actually borrowing money from you, they pay you some interest over time but, Japanese banks that rate is pathetic.
As for the people who are complaining about atm fees, be thankful for at the least there is a 24hr withdrawal service here.

After all of this, he will still remain the illiterate that he is. Citing the Quran and basing his actions on his religion is the act of a coward from hell and whenever he goes back won't be soon enough.
The Quran and Islam never condone killing innocent civilians who are not in a state of war, let alone carrying weapons. And the people who do will rot in hell, whatever the logic they were following.

First they make it difficult to travel to the US. And when they allowed it, people were welcomed with humiliating body searches. Businesses were hurt because a lot of businessmen could not travel to the the US to attend meetings, trade-shows etc.
While in the background Europe prospered. For countries like Germany, business actually flourished and trade grew during the recession. This is ofcourse not acceptable by the Americans hence the news above.

there have been cases involving parents from third world countries. The reason they are not in the news is because the Japanese authorities have nullified the marriages after separation and have cancelled their naturalizations and deported the gaijins. So, I guess they are a little shy to come out because once deported they cannot even get the Japanese embassies in their respective countries to accept their visa applications, let alone granting them visas to come back.

why is everyone so self absorbed that they are forgetting to look at the picture in the long-run. Say if both partners keep their names (out of selfishness), what will happen to the children? What will you call them? And all documentation in Japan does not make it easy for hyphenated surnames. Furthermore will not this issue contribute to breaking up of marriages!!
Just a thought.

shouldn't the organizers if the event be sued for bias against fair sportsmanship. It was them that were in cahoots with Kobayashi's managers and not allowing him to enter the competition freely. that ofcourse all becomes moot if Kobayashi's contract with his sponsors hasn't expired yet.
