Shelters for victims of dating violence

They actually have shelters for victims of Dating Violence...?

That's unbelievable... There are that many women that meet men once or twice and are victims of violence...?

Unless their use of the word "Dating," actually means Spouse....?

Maybe JT needs to re-check their translation...?

I was a big critic of Bush's presidency but would welcome him in for another 4 years over the current socialist mess of a president filling the position now.

Drugs are illegal in Japan, I don't know how you managed to smuggle in that crack cocaine you are smoking....

Obama's…

Confused? Maybe this is on purpose. I don't think Hatoyama is confused, he must have read Sun Tsu's book.. he is patient and letting the US side wonder, a game of poker.

The U.S. doesn't care.... They already signed a deal.

He may think he's playing a poker hand, If…

But JN cops can still take Military into custody.... "IF" they are the first to apprehend them.

If this actually becomes ratified, God help those in the US Military stationed here in Japan....

Nah, I can't see Obama signing off on this, especially since his specialty was Constitutional Law. Republicans would have a field day on the Dems come election 2010, if they gave up on their…

Call my cynical, but waiting for the victims to die is obviously Japan's best strategy. Japan loves to demand apologies but never gives them for far greater atrocities. Ever.

Isn't that the truth....! You have to remember, you cannot use traditional logic and common-sense to argue with these people, it's…

Also on another level, what is Japan going to do if North Korea starts rattling the sabers again. Crawl back to Uncle Sam as ask that the US hand out some discipline? But wait, the new government here in Tokyo sees the US as the cause of all its ills.…

For all of you posters that know nothing about the bases and the SOFA, learn something before you post.

Perhaps the dearest pay so far is the loss of independence and the defacement of national identity.

Huh...?

Of all the things I mentioned, those are probably the biggest and greatest gifts YOU received from the U.S. and MY forefathers. I would even say that you owe a debt of…
