WikiLeaks has turned the governments sales pitch, "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" used all over the world for erosion of liberties in the name of security, against them.

I haven't been in Roppongi since 2 years now. The last time even the former hot spot bars had been empty on a Thursday night, after midnight. Something unthinkable when I lived in "Pongi" 10 years ago.
So I was stuck to wait for the first train home; alone with the staff who told me that --since the financial crisis-- during the week, there is not much action after midnight. I wonder, if that has improved lately?

One hour ... must be a hell of a drive. The phone provider's call-log could be a good start to check this claim.

It's not only the fake smile that is creepy about her. There are a number of rumours that she is behind the bullying of the current Crown Princess Masako. Kiko obviously wants to be the mother of the future tenno; at any costs.

Correct. Already 1988 Vollmer published the following:
Japan's published unemployment figures are obtained from the "Labour Force Survey", a monthly survey where sample households are asked about their employment status.
Here unemployed are defined as persons 15 years of age or over who during the survey week worked one hour or less, who were seeking work actively and who were available to start a new job immediately.
Critics stress supposed definitional and methodical differences to international standards, and assert that Japan's statistics record cases considered as unemployed in the USA and Germany as being outside the labour force or still employed. They suggest that the comparable unemployment rate might be considerably higher and correspond more to those of other countries.

Sadly this statement has a point looking at how the "problem" is tackled; there is no discussion on why there is such a market for young girls and why the need is so willingly filled.

The reality these documents reveal about the US is that this nation stands alone.

Not everywhere, Tokyo does have some areas that gain in value. The problem though is that these hotspots seem to change unpredictably within a relative short period.
Plus I would be very wary to invest in property in a country where property can be destroyed in an instance by shaking earth.

And then? Is invading N.Korea really an option? All that is, is one bully trying to threaten another bully. George Carlin called this kind of behaviour rightfully "bigger dick foreign policy".

They already do and they are growing rapidly in China and soon the world; hence they are beating the Japanese in their own game. One of the reasons why Toyota tries so fiercely to become a premium car maker.

Protection of free speech is the freedom to express an opinion; the "jokes" we have been presented here do not constitute as an opinion. Hence these people are rightfully standing in front of a court.
