She needs a dad, not a husband, from the sounds of it.

Strange comment given that's she's been out of the market for over 10 years....
Posted in: I can't think of any Japanese company that treats foreigners the same as Japanese in terms of promotion and involvement at the top.

While I do not agree with right wingers, yasukuni shrine etc... , forcibly silencing them merely takes us all one step closer to a dictatorial form of government. Democracy is a difficult thing...
Posted in: If the government invites U.S. POWs, then it should ask the U.S. government to apologize to the victims of the atomic bombings and the air raids.

Iraq has been talked to death and nothing can be done about spilt milk. I just wonder if the American public learnt anything from it? Unlikely....
I still recall many Americans back in 2002 aggressively championing attacking Iraq even though it was clear as day that it was pointless and illegal. They just wanted to show that they're the boss.

It was really bad judgment to have married him in the first place. It's not like she didn't know about his lifestyle or troublesome character. He's not so tough now, now that he's behind bars, is he?

Word is, the dead chick in connection to Oshio was another known personality. No wonder Yada's distancing herself from this.

Seiharinokaze,
The lost decade speaks the loudest. No Japanese leader have solved the economy. There's no telling where Japan will end up this time round.
Paul Krugman is but one economist of hundreds who offers differing solutions. Even if he is wrong, the Japanese still hasn't figured out how to solve their economy. I never recalled anything that comes close to an apology to Japan so perhaps you can point out the article?
It's keep coming back to the fact that Japan is still broken and have no idea how to fix it. No amount of telling foreigners to 'go away' is going to help.

tkoind2, you are spot on. For too long, Japan has been enamored by the romanticized age of samurais and code of bushido without realizing that that particular system involves enslaving the population and curbing freedom of speech and thought. It is precisely that kind of thinking that got them into the war and helped them lose it. This backwards, socialist mindset, where everyone is supposed to be equal, is precisely why Japan is unable to climb out of the depression.
The last 5 good years was merely a short break from the continuing economic depression. The poor and backwards economic/ political fundamentals are unchanged. We can look forward to a very bleak summer with lots of real estate bankruptcies.

JoinceRojo, It's an issue because it concerns public health. Japanese usage of protection is very low. Hence, if Ai Iijima was HIV positive, its a matter of public health to screen her former partners.

If she had HIV, I wonder how many people (geinojin) she had unprotected with before she realized she was infected. One of the most common ways to die from HIV is by pneumonia, like Freddie Mercury.

SmithUS, That's ridiculous. Astrology has been defunked time and again. Acupuncture was not considered a sham but rather ignored, under researched by most modern medical practitioners. Body energy is a sham (there's no such thing as "heaty" food). Blood type personality has already been proven by science to be a fallacy. People attracted to Japan for many reasons such as culture and people. Japan doesnt have a blood type so I cant really see your point. I would advice you not to put too much stock in nonsense.

We're like in a 90's time warp. In the current environment, people are just going to put that 12,000 yen away instead of spending it. He might as well institute shoulder pads and the punch perm while he's at it.
