  Despite the rhetoric in this "Commentary" Aso has more than once soiled his copybook in the past, by offending foreigners within and without Japan by his racist comments. He was not a good Foreign Minister, and he will be a disaster for Japan as Prime Minister. Hopefully the great Japanese…

  1. Most of the LDP lawmakers/government ministers are smokers
  2. JT is owned by the J Government, therefore there is no way they are going to bring in a ban on smoking.

  The general population can have their lungs rotted and cancerized by tobacco and tens of thousands of people…

  This LDP/Soka Gakkai Government does not give a hoot about wartime victims or any other victims. Expect to lose this lawsuit. The Courts are on the side of the Government. Id like to see some of the victims from Okinawa, who the J Government of the time tried to force…

  The recently introduced "healthcare" (sic) system introduced in Japan for the elderly is a disgrace to any "civilized" nation. Basically, although people are now living longer, they are treated like pariahs in society, with many younger people quietly hoping they will get sick and die off, so that they wont…

  Big Brother is watching you . . . . The interesting thing about this story is the bit about not stockpiling rubbish on properties. Given the lack of proper trash cans and waste disposal bins in this great city, it is hardly surprising there is a problem with crows. Why…

  projectaw11 The situation here in japan is totallyu different from that of Europe. People holding political power in Europe have clearly repented of the past evil of the Nazis, while people in power here hanker back to what they see as the "good old days" of Emperor worship and State…

  Palin is a scary lady. She and her Republican running-mate are bound to get elected, though, because in America these days presedential elections are rigged by the Republican Party, who control the electoral machines. We saw that 4 years ago, and now they have perfected it even more. McCain is…

  Sex and the City is just another boring American trash TV program, which is influencing people who waste their time watching it in a harmful way. It is the product of a very sick society.
