Chinese and Korean people should not get confused about who are to be blamed. It is not the Japanese people, but the right wing nationalist politicians who deny obvious atrocity and try to whitewash history. Like German people, ordinary Japanese people get embarrased about those dark history. They were brain-washed…

From my observation during my stay in a hopsital, the idea of the robotic nurse will not work because robots can not perform the following duties; 1. Inserting an injection needle in my poorly visible veins. It requires high human skill. 2. Cleaning and dressing the wound. When the robot…

Bad sportsmanship by half that Korean team. I wish a Japan player had stuck a Japan flag on that pitching mound!

Did not you see the Nakajima crushing the head (helmet) of the Korean runner? He was almost killed! totally not acceptable manner. He should put his leg/foot on the…

Congrat. to Japanese team. After watching the whole game, I cound not see any significant difference between the Japanese and Korean teams. It was like a fight between the lion and the tiger. It was like a coin flipping game. I felt Japan had more luck over Korea. If another…

Nevertheless, it is also quite natural for a human tribe that had left their original home for any reason to return home at least spiritually if not physically. It is also ironical of human history to see the manchu people who actually conquered and ruled china for 400 years are…

Seiharinokaze http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/16/news/manchu. Manchu language has such a similar grammar and pronunciation as Japanese that one can naturally suspect some biological and genetic similarity between the two.

‘‘The erosion of Japan’s international, regional position has begun,’’
