Harmless ? A well-publicised socialite promoting her fashion merchandise to young and impressionable girls (and making lots of cash from it), is hardly harmless. Her drug-carrying habit is not harmless to the young teenagers influenced by her now is it ?

Excuse me if this sounds a little rude, but what a pile of crap. If you drop the law that says no drug offenders allowed (the one that, in your words, detained a foreigner) you open your doors to drug dealers and drug couriers bringing smack and crack into your country. Hilton WAS charged with a felony in the U.S. That means a drugs offence. Bill Clinton admitted to smoking pot but unlike Hilton, was never caught with it or arrested.

I wonder what would have happened if she was born, Paris Holiday Inn..?

But billions of others in the world have not been spoilt by a multi-million dollar family trust bailing her out of jail every time. Any normal civilian would have been jailed a long time ago. No break from me whatsoever.

Not indiscriminate at all. The law in Japan clearly states that any national with previous drugs offences will not be permitted a visa to enter Japan. In fact, Hilton has (yet again) received preferential treatment, as anyone else would have been deported the same day and not have been put up in a hotel in Narita (I wonder which hotel she is staying in....)

The responsible thing would be to stop getting busted for drug offences. Beyond her control ? The law in Japan states clearly that it does not allow drug offenders in the country.

But if she had received due justice from the beginning in the U.S then she would probably have been in jail right now along with all the everyday 'non-Hilton family' citizens and she would not be travelling anywhere.

My point exactly. China ceded the Senakaku Islands in 1895 so I guess the Japanese can stay there too..

Doesn't that road belong to the French ? Isn't it south of the Hongkou District and International Settlement in Shanghai in the French Concession ? If so, they should get off of French soil...

isthistheend can now read peoples minds.
The issue is with the train companies obsession with running their timetables right on time, compromising peoples safety. Not with some anti-Japanese rant about people trying to get to work on time. That happens all over the world.

But this is not 1938. One would hope that we have all grown up since then. China needs to forget about it's 70 year old complex with Japan and it's personal complex with the US and the Japanese need to stop playing silly buggers and deport the fisherman as soon as possible.

Japanese metropolitan train services are lethal accidents waiting to happen. The timetables run great (thanks to no unions and management bullying their drivers), but this compromises passenger safety. Anyone else remember Amagasaki, caused by a train service with a competitor running the Takarazuka service, pushing it's drivers beyond safety ?
The Odakyu line between Sangubashi and Yoyogi-Hachiman is a typical example. Around the world, a 2 minute gap between trains is recognised as a minimum safe distance for train safety, with 1 minute the very limit. If you were to time the gap between trains on the Odakyu line during busy periods you would be really lucky to find even a 1 minute gap between trains. They even run out-of-service trains along the line between the already bursting to capacity service. Therefore people are fed up with waiting for so long to cross the road. There is no overhead bridge from the back entrance to Yoyogi Meiji Jingu all the way down to Yoyogi Hachiman and people need to get to work. And when there are service delays it is a complete nightmare, with traffic backed-up all over the place.
Another example of compromises of passenger safety on Tokyo train services is the Chiyoda line at Meiji Jingumae Harajuku station. It is a very busy station with all the Harajuku shoppers around, yet the number of times I have seen train doors being slammed shut on people walking through the open doors is frightening. The Chiyoda line needs a member of staff by the busy down escalator giving the all-clear to shut the doors (they do not have one).
Train services in Japan are neglecting passenger safety for their selfish timetable statistics.

That's funny, I thought it was the Chinese government who started crying and babbling over spilt oil ?

mindovermatter, so who exactly is 'you' if the country is full of people who are unaware of what happened ? I guess that 'you' is the ghost of 70 years ago, which is exactly where you are living.
