    a civilization with over 100 million ppl and several thousand years

    Could you explain how your culture and "civilization" stretch to include the Antarctic? Why are you imposing your values and culture on the Antarctic? Japan always gives as the main reason for it's continued whaling the need to preserve…

    Japan's Whaling "research" is a sham. Everyone knows that and the ridiculous "research papers" it produces which only ever back up the Japanese government's position are merely produced to exploit the loophole. This suits the Japanese government very well, as it knows that commercial whaling will never resume in the…

    Thinking back to my hitchhiking days, my advice for people planning to hitch in Japan or anywhere is:

    • look presentable! difficult when you've been on the road for a while but I'm convinced people are more likely to stop for a clean-looking presentable person.

    • find a good place…

    With regards to hitchhiking in places such as Saitama, it's a non-tourist area so I think it stands to reason that it would be very difficult to hitch a ride there. As the story confirms, hitching around somewhere like Hokkaido, where a foreigner with a backpack is obviously touring around…

    In terms of style surely McCain is really getting hammered in these debates...

    He looks like a cranky old man, compared to a fit and assured Obama.

    I was suprised at how uncomfortable McCain looked in this week's debate. He couldn't stand still when answering a member of the audience.…

    Very sad to see Masukawa making a big deal about how he hates English, hates travelling abroad, sees himself as a Japanese "national treasure that never leaves Japan", refuses all invitations to conferences abroad, wants the rest of the world to read his papers in Japanese(!) etc.

    This kind of…

    Perhaps in the future all wars could be fought with rubber weapons.

    It would make war more of a sport and less of a tragedy, and also level the playing field somewhat.

    Young whippersnappers like Fukuda have no idea how to run a country...

    Japan and other whaling nations will lead sustainable whaling...

    ... in their local waters.

    Commercial whaling will never resume in the Antarctic... those days are over and Japan knows it. That's why they are happy to exploit the "scientific whaling" loophole.

    But, if arrogant anti-whaling nations start to catch whales…

    Currently, there are especially dangerous terrorists in the world. And there are also terrorists such as SS.

    Remember everybody, the only person who has died in the Antarctic is a Japanese sailor, killed it seems by sloppy seamanship or incompetence of the captain and/or crew of the Nisshin Maru.

    That…
