Sarge...Guess we differ. I think I'm adult enough to be able to figure out how to get on and off and escalator without assistance. Besides, please tell me what VALUE they add to the retail experience -- since you are going to pay a portion of their salaries in your…

Any wonder why prices are so high here, and Japan has one of the least efficient domestic economies? Clearly just more overhead that we all will pay for in the end.

Easily he has as much "grey matter" as most talent on J-TV. He should fit right in.

Speed...OK, I'll take that challenge. I am a notorious Japan-basher, but, my fiance and I have more or less "adopted" a homeless woman who sleeps near my apartment. We bring her food at least three times a week, and have given her spare clothes and things like a plastic tarp…

skipthesong...I actually believe ANOTSUSAGAMI's comment is right on target. "Folks like you" are just very defensive because you know you are backing a loser who has no plan, so has resorted to moves of desperation (Palin) and increasingly negative campaigning. If you took the time to read what Powell said…

Nice to see what the largest piece of green space in Tokyo looks like, since no one other than the Imperial family gets to enjoy it. Sure makes we want to keep paying my income tax.

"Japan"s diplomacy"...an oxymoron if there ever was one. The first rule of diplomacy is that you must be able to step back, and see the big picture, especially as viewed from your opponents's eyes. Japan finds this simply impossible as they are the most self-focused people and country in existence.

ProfessorJ...I cannot be both amused and shocked that someone defending such obvious backward, xenophobic and racist thinking can be so smug/glib. I go back to my initial post. If 30% of the hotels in Hawaii said that they do not want Japanese people because they do not have staff who…

PfoferrsorJ and Cleo...Do you realize that you are supporting institutionalized racism? Even if the percent is only 30%, that is still incredible in a country that wants a seat on the UNSC. But forget that lofty goal, let's just look at it from a more simplistic view -- What do…

northlondon...normally, I think your posts are off target, but, in this case, I sympathsize for you and agree totally. Good luck to you and the other guys like you. Reespectful of those who say Japan is not racist, then please provide one legitimate reason why they have not ratified the…
