    This is going to depend if they can get the younguns to actually go there to work. In most cases they just go back to mommy and daddy and live rent free, play video games all day, and then go out with their pals at night. First the gov needs to instill a work ethic in the younger - slacker generation. Of course of they offer free manga and gaming then they'll be there in minutes.

    Actors today are less talented than they were before, in my opinion. Movies today are packed full of special effects but the dialogue is empty, especially in the remakes.

    C'mon folks have compassion, Aso has Foot in Mouth Disease. Talking nonsense is one of the symptoms. He is also only repeating what some Japanese actually believe, I've heard stuff like this for the last 12 years I've lived here.

    Points taken SezWho2, but Israel is defending their nation. I just hope people see this is part of fight against people who wish to force by death their death on other people. Listen to their own words.

    Again, to call Israel a mass murderer is to miss the whole beginning of this. Hamas fired rockets into Israel in violation of the peace agreements. Israel has had enough of being enticed, so now that they are being enticed again they are going all out against terrorists. To side with truth and justice its not hard to see this.

    I support Israel for one reason, they are defending their nation, their way of life, and their people. Of course antisemitic, first world leftists would prefer Israel march quietly into the ovens and gas chambers like Sarko and the German dame want them to do. They have shown their true colors.

    Personally I am glad rational people see letting terrorists get away with terrorism will lead to their goal of the entire world chanting the Koran, all females wearing burkas, and converting by the edge of the sword. Need some enticement watch Richard Dawkin's "Enemies of Reason" and listen to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Queda "fighters" spout their hate and desire for international domination. Listen how they describe in detail to get world sympathy by having Al Jazeera film schools hit that had terrorists shooting from them, they put fighters there to draw israeli fire, its a tactic. The result in my opinion is nothing but collateral damage. The adults let them in the school, and knew what would happen. Thats the enemy Israel is fighting, no regard for the lives of their own children.

    Then again first world leftists will only see the poor Hamas terrorists being brutalised. Is that the truth and justice you speak of?

    I suppose all the Hamas supporters here will concede the point the whole thing that started this were rockets fired into Israel. Tell me any nation that would allow that without retaliation whether any national was injured or killed, or building was hit. That is called violation of national borders.

    The media is playing up the Palestinian casulties because it looks good for "humanitarian" scope. Courtesy of Al Jazeera news feeds, look at the logo on most footage.

    If Hamas didn't start it, then there would be none of this right now. Hopefully with this new deal, Hamas ala Iran ala Syria ala Al Queda has learned Israel means business. No more ovens and gas chambers for Jews. No more violation of borders to start a fight the terrorists will lose. It took a good drubbing to knock sense into them.

    Actually Richard, here in Aichi,Japan where I live, where Toyota is headquartered they just cut all nonperm. jobs and 10% of the perm. jobs. Among them about 45 top managers. Toyota has also applied to be exempted from Toyotashi, Nagoya, Kasugai, and Kariya city taxes, Aichi prefecture taxes, and national corporate consumption taxes. They are saying the situation for the company domestically is dire.

    Many of my friends and neighbors have already lost their jobs, before you ask - yes they are Japanese - engineers and management. They are very worried about finding new jobs. Toyota has also told Nagoya University, Nanzan University, and Aichi Gakuin they will be cancelling all 2009 university job fairs, including their biggest at the Nagoya Dome and another big one at Fukuagi Hall. So, it seems Toyota in, domestic Aichi anyway, is not doing so hot.

    Many anti-Semitic comments on this page. Very sad, being upset with Israel is one thing, but flaming Judaic people is biggoted. Surprized the mods are letting some of the comments stay as they are off topic.

    This is a waste, what you'll get will be eaten up even more in the tax increases coming. More LDP insanity using smoke and mirrors to fool an all too gullible public, except it is appearing the public ain't so gullible after all, Aso's rating dipped to just under 20% according to a Chunichi - NTT poll.

    Or perhaps one, there is a rumor the government wants to nationalize the auto industry here. Toyota seems to have inflated their estimates and is actually bad off.

    Overnight, Toyota reported that its U.S. sales in December were down 37% on year, a worse drop than Ford Motor Co’s 32% drop and GM’s 31 percent slide.

    Uh, after 12 years here I've noticed nothing but a bungling bureaucratic mess, from the city, prefecture, and national level. It takes 5 different forms and 3 hours just to pay my property taxes. Paying the Aichi property taxes is another 3 forms and 2 hours. It took me 7 hours to get my drivers license, and yes it was the Japanese test. Sorry but I've yet to see kaizen in any government office here. Take a pen, a book, a sack lunch, and patience to get anything done.

    What a pathetic excuse of a man. Attack a woman with a baseball bat. I can possibly see the future: unemployed, 30ish, and "just wanted to attack someone - frustrated with (fill in the blank). You're pathetic dude.
