Need I remind posters that this is a website that tries to sell stuff, most of it nobody really wants. Discussion and comment is of no real concern to moderators, rather is the hook to get posters and readers to buy. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's what I've read also ... The Empress reads the Bible. Back on topic, nuts. I also agree she's probably a lovely woman doing her best with the wild card life threw her with a marriage into the IHA. Much of what happens in life is a crap shoot after all. She had a strong interest in the deceased Italian actor Marcello Mastrioani and asked to meet him either when she was in Europe or he was here I forget. Marcello declined which I thought was a bit rude. But it does show that she has sophisticated tastes and probably has fluency in a European language as well.

The dame said; 'I've learned a great lesson' 'I want to do work for charity', after incarceration. Guess that's out the window ...

Yeah, and don't forget to check his cellphone calls ... This is the only country in the world with a police force that has let this now out of control problem exacerbate so much, so quickly, so pervasively. The Japanese seem to think the only 'bad' thing about it is getting caught. 'If' they're caught that is.

What a short memory the public has, Bush senior was also thoroughly useless as a president and clearly not the sharpest knife in the box. Billionaire oil men, the Bush family buys presidencies and get this; George senior (Read my lips, no new taxes) has said Jeb Bush will make a run in 2012. So the Bush show is far from over folks. Stay tuned for President Jeb Bush. God ... can the world take another Bush?

Why not an ejector button for the rear seat? Or a boxing glove on a spring activated by the driver? Or an electronically activated horseshoe magnet to pull the knife away? All these would work just great, along with the 'blinding light'. The usual silly J logic, as the thing that would be cheapest, simplest and most effective is a full partition between driver and nutter.

Just when the man was removing his foot from his mouth, yet more Daffy Duck logic. I'm sure the millions of temps working for peanuts around this country will not be amused.

This the reality of modern japan ... There are so many struggling against an indifferent administration, squabbling politicians and weak-kneed local beaurocrats. Treading water is about all anyone at a local level is doing. I suggest anyone with NHK BS television watch a very accurate description of many modern Japanese peoples' plight on a to be rebroadcast program entitle Japan: Love&Hate. Fascinating insights into what is going on for many, many people now with estrangement from others, self, self worth and even sex ... This will be re broadcast soon.

Lapidization? Nope, you've got me on that one... I say, let them be and yes, religion is a smorgasbord of useful things. Tools if you like, to navigate. But is there a single true way? Phooey... Take the good discard the 'I am a jelous god' stuff. I like to read through the Bible as there's some wonderful concepts, just as there is in the buddhist sutras. Sorry to say, all I ever found in the Koran was moral authority demanding respect rather than reason as its appeal. Says much about the believers themselves I guess. Let 'em be... Live and let live on the Ginza or anywhere else.

Christ was an important teacher. The trick with all this is to listen, think, digest what sounds right and discard the rest. A bit like food really. Just leave what you don't like. I'm happy to listen and think but there's no way I'd join any religion. I'm quite happy to go along with friends to bahai, christian, buddhist services if time allows but they just don't get it that I don't want to join anything. No point...

Yakuza, and please don't flatter them with the misnomer 'yaks', are like flies.. They hang around garbage, feed on garbage and when you shoo them, the fly up and settle back down somewhere near. The great stink of this society and the sooner they're forced under rocks the better... Listening Keystones?

Tats are just dumb... You'll realize the same in about ten years when you're portly, middle aged and the ink starts to blur. The smart ones amongst us would be best advsed to invest heavily in the technology that are going to remove them. Which never really works 100% by the way.

I'm with Cleo all the way. On a recent trip overseas I was gobsmacked by the stupid tattoos I saw. more than a few young me had their girlfriend's names tattooed on their necks... Dumb, very dumb. Given that over time the ink starts to smudge due to the body replacing skin they're gonna look even sillier. Like a Monet impressionist painting. Smudge-O-rama. Still nothing could be worse than the kid with a self inked tattoo I saw in NY. Below the heart in a scroll was, "My Angle" And I kid you not...

With something lie 32% self sufficiency, Japan has let the tail wag the dog for too long. These guys want it both ways. The right to sell off land for handsome profits and enormous subsidization for the little that's left. Time to get a serious agriculture policy implemented with youth at the helm and shoot for at least a 50% self sufficiency rate with the next decade. Something Mr. Aso assures the country will happen.
There are some exciting things happening in the area with the entrepreneurs; year round vegetables cultivated very cheaply using LEDs. These use far less electricity, no bugs to eat it and chemical free.

Indeed... there certainly is a 'right way' and a 'wrong way'. The results of last twenty years of trying to get the Japanese to see right way are there for all to see. Blatant hubris, total disregard for international opinion. I say bring it on in down latitude 40 until they get it. Unlikely for many more years of course but they will eventually.
