how can ishihara say that this olympic bid is to "thank the world" for their support over 3.11 when the process started a few years ago? he's just trying to get the sympathy vote from the IOC. pathetic and disgraceful to use 3.11 to win an olympic bid.

i'm for the death penalty, and the best argument I can make for it is that some scum don't deserve to live.

why is it important to say that japan is a "major industrialized" country that supports capital punishment? does that imply that less developed countries are savages and less civilized, so it's ok if they support the death penalty?

hashimoto can't possibly believe that he can fire all employees who have tattoos. it's like making a new law and then retroactively arresting everyone who broke the law in the past. puh-leeze!

the DPJ are actually p*ssing me off now. the LDP called for a two tier sales tax, which allowed for a lower tax on daily necessities, but the DPJ scoffed at that.
and now they actually might start to cut benefits to pass this increase in sales tax? i've given up hope for this country.

i think the reason why people post so often is that they need positive reaffirmation in their lives, but it ends up looking like trivial crap that annoys the heck out of people.

i've never been a fan of disneyland, but this article actually made me respect the company a hell of a lot now. the happiest place on earth can be that for people of all races, religion and sexual preference.
on another note...7.5 million yen to get married there? fuggedabowdit!

why are religious people so narrow minded? i think it's religion that is the source of more hate, bigotry and racism then anything else in this world.

this is such a charade. the gov't has no interest in public opinion and will sooner or later restart most of the reactors. the gov't will eventually beat the public into submission. so just start the darned reactors already, won't you?

i totally agree. there are other means to protect sea animals. throwing stink bombs is not one of them.

the first sentence is incorrect. he changed his citizenship and is now cambodian. AFP's reporting is always quite lax.

i'm glad she got out while she could. it seems like he was just escalating the level of violence and would end up killing her. why a woman, or man, would stay in that type of situation for so long is unimaginable to me.

i can't see this pricing strategy being successful. it works for phone companies because everyone needs a phone so they bite the bullet and sign a two-year contract. not everyone needs an xbox.

i hope he's aquitted so that he can FINALLY take the reins of the japanese govt. once he fails, the public can FINALLY be rid of him. and in the slim chance he can succeed, all the better. but my money will be on him failing miserably.
