It appears you're not really understanding Ossan's points which is the NK went great lengths to abduct Japanese citizens. Hence, the insistence that NK just "lost" the information and "lost" the remains seems ridiculous.

And please define what evidence you seek? The only evidence that seems to be acceptable…

North Korea does not have a tradition of cremation. Megumi Yokota was allegedly cremated in 1997 according to North Korea. However, the creamation facility was constructed near Pyongyang in 1999 according to the sources from defected NK officials. And the reason they built the cremation facility in the first…

Those show boating days of U.S. Basketball teams are over. The current players are very serious and are not taking these opponents lightly as they have done in the past.

Another solution.

Put these large lard a$$es in one section of the plane (i.e. rows 33-45). Seat them together and maybe then they'll understand our point of view.

Well. THIS IS NOTHING NEW. Every time some official makes a critical remark about China, they respond in the same manner.

Did I say "every time"? Yep. EVERY FRICKIN TIME!!!

It would be "adoption" since there is no surrogacy law in India.

I don't get it, since the parents are Japanese even if the mother does not claim the child, would it not be as easy as registering the child with the Japanese embassy?

Not a good idea. The government should work on making nursing more attractive job for their own population.

Many hospitals were dissapointed with the program since there is a requirement that they had for fork out 600,000 yen per person for their Japanese language education/training

Ossan:

Isn't it time that people stop using different set of bars for China? China is just simply on their good behavior mode for the time being and will revert back to the old days once the Shangai World Expo is over.

This is an eye opening indicator of the extent to which China and Japan seem willing to work "with" each other, as opposed to the "against" each other that we've become so used to seeing.

It looks one sided to me Ossan. How soon we forget that it was the…
