I'm glad people are taking such pleasure in others misfortunes. It's very sad. These kids had job offers, they thought they were safe and now that's been taken away in an unprecedented fashion. How is this entertaining, funny, or deserved at all?

I've been wondering about Specter for awhile. He often seemed to take too many sensible moral stands, something inconsistent with the GOP agenda in the past 8 years. He's very moderate, so his party choice is really just a decision on which support institution he prefers.

Also, while I'm delighted…

Their mission in Japan is not to protect Japan - the JSDF do that.

Oh my. Thats an... interesting statement. The JSDF is what China calls a 'speedbump' Its too small, underfunded, and filled with people who have never seen a combat situation in their life. And honestly, I doubt…

Its interesting contrasting this to the Okinawa incident involving the soldier who did the same thing.

And... I really don't see how they can draw the SMAP conclusion. Honestly. What does it have to do with anything? Are police in this country just trained to jump to really weird conclusions?…

awwww.... I wish her aim was better.

I don't argue with the right to protest, I do argue with the right to protest with a megaphone outside someones home. People have a right to defend themselves, and that includes from such direct harassment.

I hope she has more plants for…

What the hell. How is a search of the home in any way justified? Police really have no restrictions here, do they? They can't catch real criminals unless they turn themselves in, but take any chance they can to tromp on others rights. ugh.

This sounds... ridiculous. I don't believe this story at all. Sorry. I've encountered enough people in Japan scared because I'm a foreigner that I could see something someone make some weird claim like this.

We believe there is no problem with the software, which has cleared the domestic ratings of an ethics watchdog body,” he said.

And thats the main problem.

English as taught in Japan isn't English. Its a different hybrid language. The use of Katakana gurantees students will not be able to correctly pronounce the actual words. This practice needs to be abolished from ALL language teaching in Japan. Its just more tragic with English because of how much…

This isn't any weirder than goths or emo. Just a little bit stranger, perhaps. Less of a fashion sense. : )

THough I admit having a valentines day event for people supposedly turning their backs on love is a bit suspicious.
