  One more thing. In USA. the first job to prosecute is the job of Prosecution, Not Attorney's office. There is no Green Card to prostitution in USA.

  Please tell me your example, so I can respond it accordingly, thanks.

  It was not diplomatic for any politician to say. No excuse here, however there is some truth in it. US has been busting Korean prostitutions for years and it has been a cat/mouse race-never ending.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Friday that it raided two organizations in California that have smuggled hundreds of Korean women into the U.S. and helped them find jobs as prostitutes, arresting 45 and putting over 150 female sex workers into custody.

  Toshjiko, sorry to tell you that is not a lie. US has been working hard trying to get rid of Korean prostitution rings.

  Korean prostitution in the US is out of control

  Good luck on your research on this subject. Thanks.

  The dire manners and “uncivilized behavior” of some Chinese tourists abroad are harming the country’s image

  I have been saying this for years, now this came down from their own government. I do not feel too bad. Damn!

  They are the worst travelers at US airports. They probably think they own the airports. They are shouting too loud, clogging toilets, leaving trashes behind, disturbing people waiting lines, etc. It is not pleasant and I am now avoiding them totally by joining the VIP club. I pay for it, but it's worth it to keep my sanity.

  2Jayman: I wrote ''''' WAS ''''''' I never wrote how Japanese people reacted. .I just wrote old practice until Gen, MacArthur tried to stop.

  toshiko, this is a thumbs up comment. James Mitchener wrote a book called "sayonara" and it became a famous movie including Miss Miyoshi Umeki.

  The owner of the world’s biggest steelmaker by sales said the future of EU manufacturing depended on politicians in Brussels helping industry face what he said was unfair competition from China.

  It is very important to know that a price dumping is NOT acceptable in global market. These days are gone. Japan needs to continue branding QUALITY products. QUALITY sells. Thanks.

  Sounds like he is a typical deadbeat dad for 7 children.

  A man like this has no shame, no responsibility and no accountability to others in humanity. A worst scum in society.

  the company’s first site in Asia, hoping to shake up the media landscape and generate discussion with readers.

  This is an excellent move by Huffington. Just about time!! Japanese media and journalists need to be challenged professionally.

  Qualification of the People's Honor Award

  It is given to those who have made significant achievements in their careers and are beloved by the public.

  And I humbly recognized that both of them satisfied its qualifications. There are too many selfish athlets in these days who only care about themselves. I may suggest a good book to business leaders and teachers on a human motivation written by Moslow. Thanks.

  Sam

  In Matsui's case, he also brought humility to the arrogant world of US sports.

  Humility...

  Well said, sam. I have not forgotten the moment when all NYY players rushed to Matsui and congratulated him for his MVP award even he was traded to Angeles. He was truly respected and loved by the team players.

  Matsui demonstrated his great love and respect today to his mentor Nagashima. I saw a strong bonding between them like a student/teacher. What a beautiful thing!!

  I am very fortunate to see them receiving this award while visiting Japan. Congratulations to both of them and fans.

  Listen up what Matsui had to say. He is not only a baseball hero, but also a teacher (mentor) for many kids. Thank you, Matsui!!

  @globalwatcher

  The term "unequal treaty" is a political concept rather than a legal term recognized in international law.

  There is some validity to your viewpoint. However this being human nature, the victor or stronger party if she sees fit will 'Jew the other party down'

  Safety and LEGAL issues.

  For the safety of these American Chinese intellectuals, I rather do not want to reveal these names. Some of them are in university academic arena.

  ** Important**

  Japan should be aware that that is how Beijing has been influencing American Chinese intellectuals first who are politically very manipulative and powerful among US congress and journalists. Hope you understand what I meant.
