Hey, how about everyone cut CO2 by not dispensing and opening up any more soft drinks. But they should keep bottling the products to use up existing CO2. Oh, and stop beer production -- awful amount of CO2 produced, over 10 million metric tons per year.

About 6,000 Nisei spent WWII in Japan -- not in internment camps but living pretty much as other Japanese. Some were recruited to help as interpreters and engage in propaganda activities (such as the Tokyo Rose gals) for the J-Govt. This probably had something to do with the suspicion of…

Wasn't it a crime not to try Hirohito as a war criminal?

As expected, some of the Japanese press use the term "sanpai" to describe her visit. The term means "visit worship," which is exactly what she looked like she was doing. There goes her claim to anything Christian in her.

Wonderful message any time of the year -- Jesus Christ is the only Way, and He saves only those who are sinners. The phrase is from Acts 4:12 -- "There is none other Name... whereby we must be saved."

Miyazaki should be worrying. His films add nothing to alleviate the spiritual vacuum among Japanese youth. The only spiritual message "children's souls" get in his major films is mysticism and the occult. What is sapping youth's strength are books and movies of this caliber. Miyazaki would do well to invest…

It's a seat issue, not human proportions. Airline seat rows are designed for maximum human occupancy. Cram them in. Airlines need to see how trains handle seating. Bench-type rows may be the answer.

Don't they call these children "bastards" anymore? Shame on the fathers! And shame on the "entertainers."

One way to cut CO2 emissions is cut down on meetings like this. They should place detectors around so they can monitor all their own emissions. But hey, the bottom line anyway is: How many people have died because of CO2 inhalation?

This pilgrimage puts Japan to shame. Where are the memorial sites for Chinese, Korean and Allied civilian internees in Japan, paid for by Japanese taxpayers? It's time to recognize all those sites so that they "never happen again."

Apparently rjd has never read Malkin's book. Makes one wonder just who…
