The reference to Troussier is funny.

Ahh... poor little Japanese soccer players... did big bad Troussier give you a verbal bashing when you messed up? Had to blink back the tears?

This is hilarious! Well done Mr Hatoyama for speaking the truth.

I tried a piece of whale sushi that was circling on the conveyor belt in the local kaiten-zushi shop... it tasted awful to be honest. No wonder the market for whale meat in Japan is just a tiny tiny…

Which is suspended since the signage and implementation Antarctic Treaty. It's flat out violation of the current treaty in force if Australia claims EEZ.

I see that you are confused. It was claimed before the treaty. The treaty simply ignores all such claims. As I said, it's a controversial claim...…

Good to see that it is being shown. It is an interesting documentary.

The truth of the matter is that Japan has set itself up for this documentary to be made. If program makers in Japan decided to show more programming aimed at adults instead of the inane, childish rubbish…

Look, NihonRyu, you brought up "Japanese culture" in regards to whaling. Please explain clearly for me your understanding of how Japanese culture stretches to include the Antarctic. I really want to know.

Frankly I think Japan is imposing its culture and values on the Antarctic and this kind of behaviour…

I do believe our culture of eating whale...

Does your culture stretch to include the Antarctic?

Many foreigners (me included) have no problem with Japan taking whales in the seas around Japan as reported in this story.

What we can't understand is Japan sending a massive Victorian-era style fleet of…

there are nut case foreigners out there

I think you are talking about yourself there. What was it? 1000s and 1000s of pro-whaling posts on boards and forums all over the internet, running into 100,000s (if not millions) of words. The man-hours it must have taken to write and post…

I think the Japanese have shot themselves in the foot in regards to their PR for the Taiji slaughter.

The ludicrous use of the blue tarpaulins to try to hide the slaughter, the aggression against film crews, the lack of any coverage by the local media... they are literally setting…

I've had my Sony Vaio for nearly 4 years. It's been everywhere and no problems except that it needs a new battery. My only gripe is with all the Sony junk-ware that comes pre-installed.

JMannGod might be right. Perhaps she was asking for a slapping.

Some wives exert mental torture on the husband and that can result in a physical response. We don't know the whole story. At least this guy is admitting his mistake... perhaps the wife needs to admit some of her…
