Nothing wrong with kanji, it's a great from of expression in a written language, extremely versatile, very efficient and concise.

As with OCR technology my mobile phone does all that and better. Just snap a shot of that business card or sentence you can't decipher and use the "henkan" button…

I feel sorry for the 6 year old who blames himself for not giving more snacks to his 2 year old brother. He said it was his fault and not the mother and he wants to see her. This kid will need therapy and a loving family to overcome this…

Who says Japan needs a single leader. Why not leave all the important decisions to the people who own mobiles and digital tv. The diet can have their own 24 hour broadcast tv channel and everyone who is bored enough can login and vote in real time.

errrr, I can think of so many thing to say, but lets keep it to a minimum. The BSE thing is obviously a ploy to keep Japanese beef out of the country. Does China import other Western beef? US, AZ, NZ, Canada? 3 tons as crabs... are you crazy? There…

Hello GeorgeRoper, good question, I hope you have a good answer for it. But, on a larger scale that's exactly the kind of thinking that countries go to war for.

no, no, and no... Never been hit, never seen anyone been hit and nothing good comes out of being hit (except that you might hit back) If you do believe you need to smack a kid then obviously something is already seriously wrong, the problem should have been fixed long…

feel free to write text messages, browse the web, play games, listen to music, etc but please refrain from shouting on the phone (which will happen on a noisy plane) A one way conference call is fine.

Oh, sorry I went on talking about how noisy people can be on…
