If you want a credit card, just apply at the post office. No problem. There's even a special space on the form for non-kanji names.

I've heard that they want them to sound "foreign"(= exotic), so they use the sounds of the letters of the alphabet that don't feature in Japanese (f,l,r,v).

Again, you use the word "communist" as an insult. Plenty would be proud to be called it, a lot of them excsllent human beings. It's like the tea-party folks using "socialist" like it's a bad thing. Me? I'm (Christian-) socialist and proud of it.

You're wasting your time quoting the Geneva Convention here. Israel is powerful and rich, the Palestinians are weak and poor. That's all that matters, and Israel is determined to keep things that way.

They are idiots. Not because they're women. Because they're conservatives.

Probably the same person who says that 250 million Americans have the right to live in your country.
So if China invades Taiwan tomorrow and the Taiwanese surrender, that's okay by you? After all, China would "have possession".

Plenty of Jewish people are fed up too, and ashamed to be associated with the place.

How do you get to Jerusalem from that?
And no, Jerusalem doesn't "belong" to Israel, any more than Taiwan "belongs" to China. Just because a country lays claim to a territory doesn't mean that country owns it.

Way to go, Israel. Keep sloshing the petrol onto the fire, and then get all upset when it comes back and burns you. When is the West going to wake up to the fact that the aggression displayed by this twisted regime is responsible for the destabilisation, not merely of the Middle East, but the entire world?

Two points:
1) I know they're happy to live there. They're good citizens. So why set out to undermine their happiness with petty, needless regulations like this, which will inevitably lead to them feeling marginalised?
2) Why do you call them "Israeli Arabs"? Would you say "American Africans," or "American Chinese"? Your language betrays a strange attitude to these people.

No problem at all with what happened in Afghanistan: American troops going in selflessly to try to rescue a Scot. Mistakes made, but we're talking about a war-zone for Pete's sake. Unlucky.

You do realise you're talking about 20% of the Israeli population? Overwhelmingly loyal, tax-paying, and Hebrew-speaking? If the States passed a law demanding a law demanding an oath of loyalty to a W.A.S.P. regime, would you tell the blacks, Catholics and Hispanics to just go?

Damn right! Malnourished, illiterate peasants living in fear of murder and rape and their children suffering horribly in front of their eyes. How dare they ask for help from the rich nations of the world! Hope it never happens to you, Dude.

@Hermione Looks like the link to prices on that particular park's website is dead (or more likely hasn't been born yet), but the other parks in the group seem to be charging ¥3,500 for an adult and ¥2,500 for a child per day.

I don't think praying for people to burn in hell goes down very well with the Boss upstairs.

You obviously have a very poor understanding of Christianity. Try reading a bit and learn something before telling folk what God's going to do.
