Based on check in counter/procedure efficiency, service, food, entertainment, price, flexibility of staff, landing smoothness, seats, legroom, cleanness, etc. Absolute Top class - Virgin Atlantic (upper) Very good - ANA (business), Cathey Pacific (economy) Decent - Quantas (economy), Virgin Blue (domestic) Below average - Jal (economy), Northwest (economy), Continental (economy) Nightmare - Aeroflot (economy), Jetstar (domestic)

I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Maybe they need Vladimir Lenin to give one of those speeches from armored car before storming and seizing 109 in shibuya!
How about this: these bimbos are victims of their own failure! They didn't do crap at school, have no social understanding or common sense! Nobody is holding them there against their will. Thus term "slave" is not applicable. They can quit and get a better job. All they need to do is to use their heads for something other than wearing a hat!
To improve labor conditions you need to completely ban labor unions, revoke all regulations and remove the govenment from the economy. That way you will have so many employers that the only way they could get good help would be to improve working conditions.
Anything other than that will put larger burden on the businesses which will at the end hurt the consumer, aka entire population!

Actually there was a similar incident when the president of Ferrari owners club sold his recording of blasting through highways at nearly 300km'h in his F40. While it was impossible for him to get away with it, the biker dude could have said "it wasn't me", and there we would be no way of proving that it was.
But what kind of moron calls police about something he sees on youtube? Some people should be shot.

As usual, overhyped by media. Good thing I learned reading this is that Japan doesn't spend that much tax payer money on this nonsense.

very sad, but parents should be less selfish and avoid travel while their child is that young and weak. Lesson to all...

Curling absolutely has to go. some disciplines of the same sport. like who cares whether it's 15k race or 10k race? its same people compete in it.
I'd also ban government involvement all together. Leave to the people and the sponsors, just like Olympics should be.

Absolutely horrific! I can't imagine anything worse than that. No other countries competing. That reading letters supporting Japanese athletes is just disgusting. Oh, and despite time difference not being that bad, most of the stuff shown is re-run. Canada - Norway was 2 hour delay and they didnt show Russia - Latvia at all!!! Online streaming didn't have that either.

I don't understand why media goes after parents of criminals over here. Maybe they want to blame somebody but to me it's noting but invasion of privacy.

recalls happen all the time. Toyota sells more cars than anyone, so their recalls are larger. Get on with it, move along.
