I agree with (squint) mitch 36. As time goes on I find this layout to be an eyesore. There also seems to be less real news and more big annoying ads. The gossip is mixed up with important news. Secondary items get top billing. Hey guys, remember the inverted pyramid…

Right, Patrick Smash. Maybe if the whole family had started singing Kimigayo the maniac would have dropped his knife and taken them to see the imperial palace. After that perhaps the family would have agreed that all their problems came from Japan being the worst victim of World War II…

Rather than forcing kiddies to learn Kimigayo and think of themselves as victims of World War II, the Education Ministry ought to find ways of getting them to think about reproducing.

I've said it before. Random attacks on strangers, usually by young male knife-wielding maniacs, is now an epidemic in Japan. It time that someone did a study. Meanwhile, I'll be looking over my shoulder when I go out.

You must wonder about what this boy went through at his school. I truly wish there was someone to tell him that there is life after school.

You can lie the American people into an immoral war and they'll forget about it. Bush baby McCain will get elected and make more wars and the Americans will stupidly follow their media and buy into it.

The new site is an eyesore.

The layout is confusing. The blue subheads are hard to read. The photographs are dreadful. The colors are off and the resolution is cell phone quality.

Why did you have to make such a…
