I think many young Japanese people want kids but the grim realities of cost, accommodation, dad's working hours, etc put them off.

If the Japanese government were serious about solving this problem they have to flash the cash. They could try these:
- give a cash bonus of 1 million…

so a lot of you who want to see China destroyed and buried in the sand might find yourselves destroying and killing yourself

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody is saying "destroy China".

you might understand why people do these things which you might deem undemocratic, but they deem democratic.

I don't…

Just watched the evening news with scenes from Canberra.

There was some Chinese guy waving a Chinese flag, his face twisted with hate and aggression, chanting "One China, One China".

Where's the Olympic spirit in that?

China seems to be turning these Olympics into the Olympics of hate and nationalism.…

This torch relay just gets more and more ridiculous.

It's meant to be a "Journey of Harmony" but where's the harmony in 1000s of Chinese people lining the route and nobody else?!

Good to see that the Auzzie police shoved those horrible blue paramilitaries out of the way. Choosing those…

This is about the Japanese family or whatever. They have a right to protest, I agree, but what will happen if they get lynched?

That's funny. I suppose "getting lynched" is a big risk for people in China if they make a peaceful protest.

Here in the west we have…

I am all for freedom of speech, but not to the point where it can cost you your life and maybe your familys life. If you think that it is worth it, go right ahead and see where you will end up.

What a load of gibberish.

The first point…

As people have pointed out, Chinese people holding demonstrations in other countries makes them look absolutely ridiculous.

Message to Chinese people... try holding a demonstration about something in Tiananmen Square and see what happens! Think about it... what does it tell you about your government?!

In my country we have…

Good on the Japanese. Those Chinese paramilitaries guarding the torch are hateful and horrible and have become a symbol of oppression. This whole farce has backfired badly on the Chinese and they have ended up with a PR disaster. They may be no official boycott of the games but I…

Why does Japan need 2 research programs? One in the NW Pacific and one in the Antarctic? As the main reason for these escapades is to preserve Japan's local traditional food culture they would do better to take the whales locally. The JARPNII "research" (hard to keep a straight face…
