China has it right, when they lend money to poorer countries to build schools, hospitals and so on, they send out Chinese construction companies to build them, where are all the materials bought to build? from China! So the money is put back into the Chinese economy. Japan needs to do something on those lines or it will never recover and unemployment will keep going up.

When Japanese politicians are more interested in keeping their political careers and not focusing on real issues,then what chance does anyone have? The generation that built Japan today is getting short changed and the young generation looking for a future can't afford a suit for an interview if they get one. If Japanese companies relocate their plants or businesses then at least employ 30% Japanese to work in those places. After all they are Japanese companies!!

Rep Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican, rejected arguments that U.S. gun laws were at fault, saying that it was not the gun that was to blame in the Tucson attacks but the shooter!!!! Its a bit like saying its not the drunken driver who kill the innocent by-stander it was the Alcohol and the bar tender who sold the stuff!!! Course of death "shooter" give me a break!

I have been invited to sushi places abroad by Gaijins and they all think its the best they have tried, if I scored the restaurant it might have got a 5 for effort so yes sushi is not just a piece of raw fish stuck on rice, its a lot more than that!!! It would take ten years to fully understand what I mean.
Posted in: There have been many food poisoning cases caused by sushi chefs in foreign nations who know little about how to treat raw fish. If things are left as they are, Japan's sushi culture will end up being damaged.

Despite heightened media attention and public expressions of disapproval, the Government and society in general appear to take a lenient attitude toward teenage prostitution and dating for money, which may or may not involve sexual activities.
Sex with those under 13 years of age is prohibited, but consensual sex with a 13-year-old is not prosecutable under the Criminal Code. According to current laws, in order to prove rape and forcible sexual contact with a minor age 13 or over, the prosecution must prove that the attacker threatened or used violence against the victim.
Currently, laws regarding prostitution with minors over 13 years of age are covered only by prefectural government ordinances.
Under the present Prostitution Prevention Law, selling the sexual services of children is illegal, but purchasing those services is not.
There is no law that directly prohibits the production and sale of child pornography. In 1996, 5,378 teenage girls were taken into police custody for sexual misconduct, of whom 562 were engaging in prostitution. According to a police survey of those girls, 46.8 percent said that they wanted spending money, while 29.6 percent said that they acted out of curiosity.

Hide She may, Muslims kill you must, Christians kill you will.
If we Can't laugh at ourselves,and see humour in insult?, if it does offend then, why believe?
Surly GOD is bigger than any insult to compare on this earth,
Then why do we diminish the creator of this universe we still cannot understand, which religion has that right?
It is Not our Place until we can understand the creator.
Fighting amongst our selves is not creation but Armageddon!!

Why is politics, which could and should be a noble profession, conducted so badly?
America the largest economy in the world!
Has a Deficit of $ 1 3 , 5 0 2 , 9 4 5 , 5 1 7 , 5 5 7 . 0 6 The estimated population of the United States is 309,126,746 so each citizen's share of this debt is $43,680.94.
Japan was the second largest economy in the world!
Has a Deficit of $7.1 trillion. The amount is equivalent to about 6.24 million yen ($55,900) for every Japanese.
How Noble of the politicians, asking us to pay for their mistakes!!!!
For example, If an employee/s or CEO (BP example)at a firm was loosing the company, money! in this pathetic way, what would you or anybody in their right mind say?? or do?? Time for a BIG RETHINK!!!

He said al-Qaida-linked extremism was “loosely a global ideological movement, but Iran is a state sponsor of it.”
Tony Blair has started to wined the string around the top with his book, for the big spine that is going to come about to help the Americans to start a new campaign against Iran. 50 thousand American troops still remain in Iraq. Blair has not finished he is going to promote the up coming war in Iran. They are just making sure they have something this time, if you remember Israel obliterated a nuclear power plant in Iraq in 1981, So why not today with far more advanced technology and capability? Blair and Bush might as well be still in power, because the people who controlled them are still there!! and who ever steps in the the positions of Prime minister or President of (UK,USA)will also be controlled by unelected power mongers of a new world order!!
