Nibachan, you make the point that paramilitaries and violent societis are somehow connected to cannabis? You need to go to Canada or Amsterdam, my friend and learn something of what you're talking about.

Jackdorff makes a good point about the manners of the elderly. They push in line for the trains, they never apologize when they bump into people, they ride their bicycles on the wrong side of the road, and they cross the street anytime they please, signals and traffic be damned.

I'm loving this Japanese pot smoking stuff. It's like a new idiot everyday. I'd love to see some stats comparing Japanese drug arrest rates compared to foreigners in Japan. Maybe somebody could call Ishihara's affice and ask for the Tokyo stats. My gut tells me we'd laugh and laugh hard.

He made himself a political liability and had to go. The same thing would have happened in any other G7 country. I want to see an APA prss conference to explain why they chose his as the winning essay. Why aren't the "journalists" after that story?

Adjusted for population growth, N.A. auto sales are down across the board to levels unseen in 25 years. It's coming. Be ready.

I'd bet that to the average Japanese she's more beautiful than Riyo Mori. And I also bet she's doesn't make it through the first round. PASS!

This only serves to reinforce the greater-Asian perspective that the Japanese military cannot and should not be trusted. I wonder how much pushing and prodding it would take in Chinese/Taiwanese/Korean forums to have them boycott APA hotels when they come to Japan on tours. APA ought to end up paying…
