    Why is the president visiting the national cemetery of his country of any business in the minds of people in other countries?

    It was the right thing to do. Hurray for the EU. Torturing and maiming animals is just as cruel as doing the same on the humans.

    People go a long way to preserve their Right to Eat certain other intelligent species at this planet. And how the media is portraying this issue as if Japan's national interest is at stake... Instigating fights and arousing the anti foreigner feelings. Folks. Do not support people and businesses that sell whale flesh if you do not eat it.

    Looks like the SK govt is playing tit for tat. "Okay. You hold a street rally for territory claim? We will increase the number of pages in school textbooks regarding our claim". LOL, not really. Sad. Both sides need to stop.

    Every country has the right to act in its best interest. It's long over due. Bravo, Prime Minister Abe. You can't be a pacifist when surrounded by aggressors.

    It's a shame that JT is not releasing the behind the scene story as to why SK govt refused extradition. South Korea used this arsonist nut job against China for holding a Korean citizen in a Chinese prison for human rights activism. It's like saying "You release one of ours and I won't send this guy to Japan so he can be fried". And, I can't believe some of you posted things like how South Korea must be a Chinese state and crap. Are Koreans to be either pro-Japan or pro-China? They can't be looking out for their own interest?

    That was a point ot the story, folks. Japan and South Korea must sign an FTA. |t is a crime against Mother Earth to ship the car parts 8,000 miles to USA, have them assembled into cars, then ship the cars back 8,000 miles back across the Pacific to sell them in Asia.

    The USA and South Korea have a free trade agreement in place. Japan and South Korea do not. In Seoul, a Honda Civic from Japan would cost about the same as a Toyota Venza from USA because of the tarrifs put on the Civic. Nationalism aside, do you guys think this is right? This is happening all over the world.

    Now, a Honda Civic assembled in Japan will cost about the same as a Toyota Venza from USA in South Korea.

    Who in the right mind will believe the "official" story on why there are these drills? Are these really to deter North Korean provocations or is it really a message to the big guy aka China?

    ExportExpert et al: This issue is not about Japan vs Korea nor is it about prostitution. It is about a government's past wrong-doing. To get past the past hurt, it is best to compensate victims and move on with a clean state.

    Okay, the "official" reason for postponing the signing of the accord is public sentiment. The "real" reason is probably CHINA. The #1 trade partner of South Korea is China. SK's trade with China is larger than its combined trade with US and EU. You don't want to anger your number one customer! Hello, guys, THINK!

    The TV (the machine intelligence) watches you as you watch the TV. The machine is aware of what it display on its screen and observes where your eyes focus on, not just your hand gestures.

    Keep increasing visibility, LGBT citizens of Japan! It is difficult to be openly gay when there's employment discrimination amongst other animosities. My hats are off to you for attending the pride celebration!!!
