Japan shouldn't worry too much about the Toyota fiasco hurting ties with the US. They need to worry about not honoring signed agreements with the US hurting ties...

It would be far more expensive for Japan to support their own full fledged military than it is to host the US. Do the math! Secondly, Okinawa is an isolated economy, and no amount of building is going to spur economic growth. They have built all these nice resort hotels that are mostly empty. Some big name companies have even pulled the plug after they started construction because of the economic outlook for Okinawa. I say let's pack up and go home, and then watch them blame us for leaving them in shambles...

Blue Tiger...interesting bit of information...prove it...obviously you have no children in the system or you would know better. High school is not guaranteed in Japan. they only have so many seats, and the students must compete for them. They go all the way back to 1st grade records when they start the selections for HS. Then those that aren't selected can compete by taking a HS entrance exam for round 2 of the HS draft pic...This article is totally baseless...and bogus...

Japan has the highest literacy rate in the world at 99%. This article is based on a survey of 1,500 college students, but we know nothing about the survey itself. We don't know the questions asked, if the survey was biased, if the 1500 was from a specific geographical location and not really representative of the country as a whole. I think the whole article is bogus...
