Asda will regret this decision. British people like red meat, as others have said here. We dont like horrible fatty stuff. Sorry, but Wagyu will not sell to ordinary Brits. We have plenty of good British Beef, the best in the world - oh, and we pay for in in…

"(Islam) is the same as all others...and all others have their share of extremists..." That has got to rank among the most nonsensical and untrue sentences I have ever read. Its just ain`t so. Regarding this murdering scumbag who carried out the latest Islamic terrorist attack on American soil, he…

Obama has obviously gone overboard in his desire to please the Japanese people and make himself very popular here. He knows exactly what to say in order to get the Japanese people on his side.

I was interested to see him bowing so low to the Japanese Emperor. He did…

He obviously still has some of the ethnocentic xenophobia that is at the core of his old LDP philosophy.

Ozawa is nuts. What was he rabbitting on about? This has got to rank among one of the most stupid and inane speeches to ever fall out of the gob of a Japanese politician, and this is a land well known for politicians who put both feet in their gobs.…

My first reaction to this was "what a boring title for a book!" Then when I read the rest of the review, it put me completely off any desire to read it. The author sounds like a typical obnoxious upstart from the West coming to Japan to live a hedonistic…

I am not American (thank God) but if I was, I would be opposing Obama`s healthcare plan. I think it is disgusting that a man like Obama, who claims to have a Christian faith, is pro-abortion. I would certainly not like my tax dollars to be used for the murder…

Japanese ojiisans from the inaka on their first trip abroad who think that the little damp towels are for taking a bath with. I`ve seen them stand up, strip down to their underwear and clean under their arms with these things. A nauseating sight. Grumpy unsmiling flight attendants, especially on…

This is farcical, on two fronts. Bottling wine in plasitc bottles is just disgusting to those of us who love real wine. By all means, bottle some of the awful local brands in plastic bottles - but French Beaujolais? Please! The second part of the story, about the "ecological" benefits…

WiLLiB Good point. I will be watching closely to see what Obama does this time. He is inconsistent in his approach to foreign Heads of State. His treatment of Queen Elizabeth was shameful, compared to his a$$ licking attitude to the King of Saudi Arabia. I wonder what he will…
