He may have changed his citizenship, but his ethnicity remains the same. Therefore, saying that this man is Japanese is correct, even though he is a US citizen. More than likely he will be fined for failing to get an export license. Nothing criminal about this issue at all.

Lets see...problem of overfishing - solved by making it too expensive to buy fuel to go fishing. Maritime accidents - solved because no one can afford to buy fuel to go out to sea. Energy and mineral resource problem - solved because no one can afford to buy fuel for…

GW obviously doesn't know how auctions operate. There are no guarantees that fishermen will catch enough fish to cover expenses when they go out. Someone said that they already get subsidies...what are they, and how much? Just as I thought...don't know what you are talking about. One of Japan's major…

This ought to be good. Kill the economy to save social services. How many businesses will go under because of the increased tax rate. How much more will fuel cost? Will the increase put more people on social programs because they won't be able to survive? Submarine economic...dive, dive, dive...
