China, Korea, Russia, etc. all have their own agendas and priorities in the negotiations. Japan has too. It has provided plenty of aid and tolerance for the rogue NK regime and its people. It's about time the lying and deceit about the abductees is resolved and I think it's a…

As always this is the path to the easy way out. Only, it won't work. Where did this guy get his degree, how competent is he? Ohh, yes, I see.

Of course China and Russia vetoed the proposal. This is how these nations have maintained the balance of global power. But somehow the warning of setting a precedent of interfering in internal affairs of sovereign nations sounds a bit hollow coming from Russia.

I think we owe it to Takagi to give her the benefit of the doubt. She may not be achieving what YOU think she ought to be achieving. She is trying to do something and the attention she gets while doing so, be it positive or negative, may set people…

Some scientists may add a little extra color to their findings, but rejecting all the conclusive evidence that humans are responsible for accelerating global warming…

She's got to earn a dollar, true, but if she wants to be taken seriously by the people in her community then she should really make that her full-time job not just doing it as a hobby.

What you are saying is that it is better to do nothing than…
