    And Dokdo has been ruled by Korea even long before 6th century.

    Yes. Usan=Dokdo claim where the "joke" begins. But of course, Koreans don't get the "joke" because virtually all of them never actually compare the actually geographic location of Ulleungdo/Jukdo/Liancourt Rocks versus that of ancient Korean maps.

    To simply…

    "Please back this up with evidence, because I know of just ONE Korean man who became a policeman here in Japan, and he said his superiors allowed him the job because he LOOKS Japanese and his mother is Japanese.

    As far as I know, NO Naturalized foreigner who became Japanese,…

    taiko666.

    Commonwealth citizen is not equivalent to PR for Japan does not have "commonwealth citizenship". When comparing, you have to compare the permanent resident of U.K. (ILR) to that of Japan's permanent resident.

    I do know that being a naturalized Japanese citizen does not allow one to ALL of the…

    You misread "YouDon'tKnow's" comment. She/He said non-native Japanese when she/he should have said NATURALIZED JAPANESE CITIZENS should be allowed to work in civil service jobs, such as police and fire fighters.

    And they can.

    Morning nige. Well event finals are popular aren't they. But there's also all the lead-up to that final and a lot of interesting competition. I find it hard to believe that the regular program crap they are showing right at this instant could garner more ratings than once-in-four-years elite international…

    No, some other posters have made it clear and are undisputably correct that it is only foreigners who are dissatisfied with the extreme myopia and unparalleled self-obsession. But yes nothing has changed. If they're not showing other events cos the ratings would drop off, then that speaks volumes about most…

    I wouldn't doubt that in some cases at least they were murdered and their bodies likely burned and tossed somewhere where they wouldn't be found.
