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…

Yep, just as I thought, a bit wet and windy and nothing more.

Another typhoon disappointment.

I am a bit surprised by some of the comments on this board. It seems that people are openly cheering for a major typhoon to hit the country, cause massive damage, perhaps, dislodge thousands…

It will just be a bit wet and windy out.

Typhoons have always been a major disappointment as far as I'm concerned. On TV they predict the end of civilization as we know it and then all you actually get is some HS girls struggling with their umbrellas and a…

Ishihara said. “Young hot shots have to go into the core of the IOC or we will always be considered outsiders.”

I wonder whether he sees the irony of this comment.

“I believe the people in Tokyo still want to host the Olympics,”

What does he mean "still"? They didn't…

I thought Iceland had closed down... must have reopened for business. Nice of Japan to help them out.

It does seem that Japan is finally wising up to how ridiculous its Victorian-era style whale-grabbing expeditions to the pristine Antarctic are making it look and finally investigating other avenues.

What is…

What! And cut our foreign aid? Why, that would cause an worldwide uproar!

You can't afford to pay foreign aid. Stop kidding yourself.

This sounds very suspicious.

Just a few weeks ago we had "data" claiming the Sony Walkman was outselling Apple's iPods in Japan for the first time in years. Now we have a similar report claiming the PS3 is outselling the Wii.

I frankly don't believe it and think these reports…
