I nominate Matsumura-san, the cinema manager, as the next PM. He truly understands the meaning of democracy and freedom of expression, and that "discussion" is a healthy thing. You don't have to agree with everything in the film. That is the choice of the viewer. Likewise, you don't have to…

Hikozaemon...Agree with Nessie, your post is priceless. But, I have a question for you or anyone else who may know the answer. Let's assume a similar crime occurs (hopefully not by an American serviceman), and the criminal is not stupid enough to leave behind their credit card. Will the J-police…

Hey outhousejt, do you have anything to add to any subect that is not an anti-U.S. rant? But, I will give you credit -- you at least avoided use of your catch-phrase "American Occupiers" this time.

VoXman...Completely incorrect. Most of Harvard is made up of "regular Joes" in fact. If you knew anything about Harvard, you'd know that it has one of the world's largest endowments, and uses this money to provide financial aid to students of modest means. I believe around 50% of the students…

This is terrible news if it is true. As an American, I am disgusted by his disregard for human life, and hope he gets the maximium punishment allowed under both military and Japanese law. But, also as an American, I am proud to see that the U.S. Navy appears to…

Did he require that all new employees open an account in ShinGinko bank?

saiwabi, with all respect, you are living in a dream world. You cannot seriuosly claim Japan has anywhere near the freedom of speach/expression as the countries I mentioned. (Except in child porn of course.) This situation is directly comparable to "anti-U.S." movies made by Michael Moore, like Fahrenheit 911, or…

sabiwabi...Obviously you have never lived in any place like the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, Holland, or dozens of other countries. Freedom of expression is in fact MUCH WORSE here than in these countries. The point is that no one can decide for themselves if the movie is in fact…

Truly a sad day. First the LDP, by demanding an advance screening of this movie, and deeming it potentially "anti-Japanese", knowingly unleashed right-wing pressure on these theaters, with the expected result. The theaters are backing out of showing it. Second, the Tokyo school board just punished another group of teachers…
