Whale is part of the Japanese diet and has been for centuries like the Eskimos.. But I do not think that the young generation care to much for it today, what it should be turned into is a very expencive delicacy more so than fugu or pufferfish. Strict rules and only certain standards should be applied, to obtain a certain number of licences,example (five per prefecture) to serve whale meat, this would reduce the numbers of whales being hunted.

Most Japanese students learning "ENGLISH" in the UK and New Zealand or countries that stay closer to English Englis, tend to learn the language a lot faster, American English is like American Football and most of their spot difficult to understand!! for example once you have got somthing how can you get more than you have already got like gotten,Grammer is important to a certain point but Have you ever seen a three or four year old with a pen, paper and dictionary asking mummy what gotten means!! The other thing that gets to students is pronunciation so if all you teachers just said to you beloved students that their pronunciation lesson for the next two years is "just take A E I O U of the end of all the english words you learn, "cup, cupu, cup" then get on with teaching the language.

Yukihisa Fujita, a member of the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan is demanding that PM Aso Apologise for his families past. Is Yukihisa Fujita's saying his family was not involved in any way with WWII and is not guilty for any of his families past?? Then how would he be prepared to Apologies to the rest of the world for Japan's war time past if he was PM, Yes the Japanese GOVERNMENT not a single person that was incapable of understanding war at that time, should be apologising. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/25/documentary-implicates-bmws-controlling-shareholders-in-war-cri/" America also has a lot to apologise for,the A-bomb's they dropped that was a weapon of mass destruction, Vietnam .... oh and anybody seen 9/11 in plane sight, people responsible need to apologise to its own people. We in this present time will be APOLOGISING to the future generation for a very long, long time!! Why not pick on someone now that will be born in the future to apologise for us or does it sound ridiculous???? We are not learning from history if we keep living it!!! And when a main member of the opposition starts pointing fingers at one person he himself should check his family past first. Those that need to apologise are mostly all gone, and they should have done all the APOLOGISING instead of passing the buck and this is what history keeps doing passing the burden of incompetence. Is this not why we are in such a mess.

Fish fingers ban the tourist and then we can be assured to get some fantastic sushi and sashimi at any restaurant, and tourists does not necessarily mean gaijin. I’m for hygiene.
Posted in: We understand that the sight of hundreds of frozen tuna looks unique and interesting for foreign tourists. But they have to understand the Tsukiji market is a professional place, not an amusement park.

Apologies, Apologies...... how about sitting down and saying, you now we politicians have made the world what it is today using religion and race as an excuse, but the real truth of the matter is pure greed. We humans are a cancer to this earth and cancer as we all know destroys it own vessel, so what cancer do we need to apologize for!!!! The world is being set up for WWIII, it’s funny how history repeats its self and we all think we must learn from it Ha-ha! The biggest joke for 6thousand years

wakie wakie Japan I think the government is stoned most of the time anyway!, they do nothing except make themselves look and feel good, legalize the stuff and get to the next chapter Holland has for years and they seem to be awake. The pill for women was so quick to be legalized when the pill for old men came about!!!
