    Iran claims computer worm is Western plot

    It sounds like Iran's paranoia level is reaching that of North Korea. Anything that happens there is automatically the fault of the US and the West.

    My grandfather owns a house overlooking the river between the US and Mexico. I've never heard of anything happening near where he lives. But he does say that you must be careful about what taxis you take, as you might be kidnapped -- he has a dedicated taxi driver for when he and his wife journey into Mexico.

    elbudamexicano,

    Yes, there are some nice places, but there are also places where people really don't want to be placed.

    A major Japanese company has a couple of factories in and near my hometown (5000 people), so there are a few hundred Japanese in the area. When I worked for that company, I became friends with several of the transplants. Some of them were happy to be in the middle of nowhere, but many told me that they wanted to return to Japan.

    I can understand the feelings of those who don't want to go, or once they are there want to come back. I would not want to be placed in a job 100 miles from the nearest city, with absolutely NOTHING to do in my spare time.

    Interesting how the prices are quoted in dollars. With the current exchange rate, we should be paying MUCH less than that here in Japan, but someone in the middle is making a lot of money.

    I don't agree with what he thinks or says, but....

    So much for the idea of DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM OF SPEECH... one can say what one believes without fear of prosecution.

    It's obvious that some European countries are far behind the times.

    For those of you screaming back and forth at each other -- who the hell cares if paris hilton was denied access to Japan? It's NOT news.

    It's not the number of pages, but the quality of material that counts.

    The fact that this lawsuit was brought by the Log Cabin Republicans is a very BIG factor in this decision. I had a good friend in this group, and always asked how he could be gay AND a Republican. It seemed to be a conflict of interest to me.

    I would hate to arrive at Narita at the same time as this monster -- just getting through immigration would be a nightmare due to the mass volume of people. Has Narita expanded their immigration lines for this? Probably not.

    With Carter's history of relations with NK, he stands a good chance of bringing Gomes home. Good luck Mr. Carter!

    Welcome to Mexico!

    We have beautiful beaches, cheap prices, and plenty of death squads!

    Why not just blow up the whole country and start over?

    rainman1 - don't forget the crash in Fukuoka where they left the plane just past the end of the runway for a long time, claiming they didn't have the money to clean it up.

    Well, since the flights begin on Aug. 31 and Haneda's international terminal doesn't open until October, I would guess that it's "the inconvenient one".

    Freedom of religion is a good thing - as long as it's your religion.

    It's amazing how many Americans will twist the Constitution to fit their own wacko beliefs. Time magazine online has a great photo essay on the history of intolerance in America, dating from colonial times.

    And just how much will these little gems set us back? The price of LED lamps is just too high for me to justify changing all the lights in my house.

    When did the French grow some cajones? With their history of capitulation to the enemy, this is quite a surprise!

    Cops in the US don't mess around, compared to the J-Cops. If he is convicted on these charges, he may not be able to enter the US -- ever.
