This commentary was written by Yuri Kageyama. If Kageyama is a Japanese national then I congratulate her on here critical thinking of the Japanese industrial base. Japan needs more of the Kageyama types.

Japan provides you with a feeling of safety which is not the same as being safe otherwise there would be absolutely no crime and other dangerous things happening in Japan.

As long as there is heaps of soya sauce, lard in certain dishes and fried bento I would say that Japanese cuisine is not very healthy.

The question about Japan being safe has changed. It used to be that Japan was incorrectly seen as a superlative as in the safest country. I no longer hear this from people. The obvious truth about Japan is that it is no more dangerous nor no safer than any country. The question of what is safe has to be raised. Is it personal safety or does it have to do with car accidents or natural disasters or public health risks such as smoking or any others dangers that are posed to you? In that sense, Japan is very average.

Too many deaths and serious injuries have come at the hands of Japanese corporate greed.
Clear up your act Toyota and be forthcoming with the real problem of faulty design, wiring, electronics and computerization of your vehicles. Stop the typical hiding behind bureaucratic and legal tango dance.

It simply is not necessary to have that many weapons on the streets of America which reminds me that the gun laws are very strict in japan lest we would see the locals offing each other in amazing fashion due to the in-your-face high pressure culture.

"If U.S. forces leave Japan, Japan will be a warzone."
I believe that is what it will take for the nasayers of American bases to understand the situation.

On another note. It is rare indeed that we hear the British complain about giving the Yanks the boot or the Germans or Italians. Yet, the Germans and Italians are a bit more vocal than the Brits with the Germans being more-so, yet no-one is as vocal as the Japanese.
Japanese dissent is racially driven?

"Insinuating that Europeans were too cowardly to stand up to Hitler and just sat around waiting to be saved is a huge insult to all those who fought in the war before America finally finished payrolling the Germans and got dragged kicking and screaming into the fight when Japan kicked sand in America's face."
And this comment is not an insult to North Americans?

Why leave? The Taliban and its Al Qaeda connections have not been defeated by NATO forces yet.
In all reality I doubt the Taliban will ever be defeated as the the ideology will live on, however they need to be set back a lot more than they are now.

been partying in roppongi for a good lotta years. never once was there a problem. too many people on this thread are making too much noise about the lurking danger on the streets of roppongi. as for the american embassy issuing a warning. that's fine. when americans are victims of crime in a foreign country then the corresponding embassy issues a warning. if and or when a canadian is a victim of this crime then the canadian embassy will issue a warning.

i often fly air canada which has a pretty good sized fleet of airbuses. not too sure if i want to book any future flights with them now. airbus needs to be investigated. two crashes in one month is a sign of corner cutting. the safety of airbus should be openly questioned instead of having the media pussyfooting around the subject. the eu needs to conduct a government investigation into airbus.
