Typical American... let's eat pre-packaged crapola. I'm sure you find it difficult to shop for clothing in Japan as well. They tend not to carry 120cm waist jeans. Oh sorry, you're one of the lames who are clueless regarding the metric system. That's a 48" waist.

That's probably the crap rice that's sold for industrial foods, glue, or what not. The stuff in Nagano is mainly for sake and a lot of the Yamanashi rice is for the same.

Guess the writer is a big city boy who thinks the majority of rice farmers can afford the big machinery. Here in Yamanashi and over in Nagano this is the only way rice is dried.

Cool. Let the idiots waste their money and resources. When the funds run dry and they look around to see who is to blame, they need only look in the mirror.

Time to start gathering up email addresses and contacts of IOC members and their staffs. Going to have to resend a whole bunch of stuff that I sent years ago slamming S.I. for his xenophobia then just wait for him to open his big dumb mouth again. This should be fun.

Ask a doctor in Japan if they are aware of the Hippocratic oath.
Ask one if they ever took an ethics class at university.
They ask the knob why the JMA does not allow non-Japanese to practice medicine in Japan.
Chances are you will get empty stares and pathetic excuses.
If you want to get admitted, do what we did when my mother-in-law had cardiac arrest: get a taxi to the hospital and do the CPR yourself. They can't radio you with a lame excuse.

She shouldn't apologize.

Don't be so naive. This is not the first incident of nuclear slackness by the Japanese. An why place blame on the IAEA? They've warned Japan in the past that more transparency by the officials regulating the industry in Japan. And Japan responded by cheerfully ignoring the advice. Typical.

What a bunch of blithering idiots: news flash, South Korea got the winter games for 2018.
If you think the IOC is going to send the Olympics back to Japan in 2020, I want what you are smoking.
Better things to spend money on than another stroke job for your egos.

With all the problems stemming from the March 11 earthquake, you'd think the J-government would find better ways to spend/waste taxpayer money than subsidizing the whaling fleet.

It just might make them more appealing to certain groups, particularly teenage boys... almost like collecting baseball cards. I can already imagine the remarks:
"Dude, I got mouth cancer."
"Sick man. Check this out. I got esophageal cancer."
"Gross. I got lung cancer... again."
