The EU now has quotas on cod to protect them, so why cant a similar thing be done here? I know alot of fish & chip shops in the UK offer alternatives so you dont even have to eat cod. Cant people just go for a few years eating salmon or one of the many other fish? Human greed just doesnt know when to stop does it

so poor countries also dont support the ban because it will harm their economy. Hmm have they thought about what they will do when there are no fish left? I swear this world is run by idiots, role on 2012 when there will a huge disaster that will wipe our idiot species off the face of the planet.

Hey Mr agent how can i ensure that my book sells well? Hmmm get naked, that always seems to work. As for the comedian thing that made me laugh, i didnt know there were any comedians in Japan, only immature idiots who act like clowns.

You are half way there, the issue is problem reaction solution. The government wants to do something, so it creates a problem, then it presents the solution. That is what 9-11 was. Look at everything that has been done off of the back of terrorism like you mentioned. As for 9-11 being staged, you just have to read and look at the facts, then contrast this against the offical line. But the issue goes deeper as to who is behind it. For that you need to look to the Bilderberg Group and the Federal Reserve. These are not conspiracy theories but facts.

It always makes me kind of sad to see how so many intelligent people are unable to see facts through the propaganda we are feed by the media. From the time we are born we are conditioned via our education and through TV to think how they want us to think. It seems very few people are able to see past this conditioning to see the bigger picture. By the time most people do it will probably be too late. Just look at the evidence that there is, and think. Thats all you have to do.

Awsome, big up to Iran for saying what everybody knows ! They created a war against a non existant enemy that they can prolong forever, which will be continually used by them to do the things they wish to do. We are not free, our government are not democratic, Obama is not different to Bush, and the government does not control the economy.

Remember that being critical of japans CULTURE is japan bashing. If its been done for centuries then it means its okay to still do it ! You got that?

Ive never really thought about this as i ve used models from various companies beofore. But my best cell phone to date has to be my iphone. With skype in it i call abroad cheaply, jelly sms allows me to text my families mobiles cheaply. Book reader, movie player, games, Radio one live on my mobile in japan. Simply the best device ive had to date.

isnt it funny how america cant afford health care for its own people but it can afford wars in two countries, and a military budget of epic proportions. Those insurance company lobbyists are earning their money now.

ahhhh, this article is exactly what everybody who lives in japan thinks. Please translate this into japanese and post it to every bank manager in the country and fingers crossed we might see some change because the banks here are just beyond ridiculous. I find it funny that the best ATM is in 7-11 not in a bank, haha.

who has the better health care system though. America may have the best hospitals but unless you have insurance you are screwed, and even when you have insurance you can still be screwed. The UK where im from has great doctors but the hospitals need more money and they often seem dirty and the nurses have no time for you. My poor father has had a couple of bad experiences in hospital. BUT its free, so theres one good point, even though you may wait for 6 months for your op. In japan ive never had an operation but my wife has and the staff were great and she got her op the same week she went into the hospital. My experiences have been good so far(touch wood) the doctors have been okay and the one time i had a problem, a lump under my arm they did a load of tests inclding an MRI all with in a week, in the UK i would have been waiting ages. But here you still have to pay. But i think i would rather have an operation here, just because the hospitals are so clean and the nurses actually seem to take care if you.

bobsleigh as i just cant see what that is about. You just liedown on your sleigh and go down the tunnel, i cant see where the skill lies. It seems the only difference is how much you want to risk your life and that determines the speed you will let the sleigh run. But im not an expert so its just my opinion.
