Time out...Let's put this comment in some historical persepective. If I am correct, the last President who was wounded in an assasination attempt was Ronald Reagan, a white man -- and, the attempt was made by a fellow white person. Similarly, the last presidential candidate wounded in an attempt on…

To paraphrase the old saying: "Japan sure has class. Unfortunately all of it is low".

Sarge...please, you are losing all sense of reality "Liberals just to love to tear down our country" simply ignores the reality of the past 8 years and how Bush, Cheney, Rove, et. al did everything in their power to tear down and rip apart our country.

quato...You hit the nail on the head. The threat of jail time will scare many women from seeking citizenship for legitimate kids, if all it takes is the guy saying "nope, not mine". Typical of Japan -- the "law" appears to be fair, but in reality, it is far from…
