I agree fully with most of the "Yankee Go Home" bunch even though I'm pretty conservative. If Japan does not want us, we should leave. They are a sovereign country and can choose for themselves how to defend their interests (or they can choose not to defend them, which seems…

If the Norks try to launch, I say Japan should take the shot. If it works, what are they going to do< nuke Japan with their missiles? If it fails, we need to know that the system doesn't work.

There is no difference between an ICBM and a satellite launch…

Oh my God! Forget the increasing murders, sex crimes and fraud, the unravelling of society and forget the economy, now here is finally an important story for the Japanese press to run with for days! "Why are these psycho Americans always trying to kill people? They are supposed to be…

That would require a cultural confidence the Japanese no longer have.

They will never go to SE Asia, it's not a news story. The only reason MSDF is going to Somalia is that Somali pirates are in the news and media reports putting pressure on Tokyo to "do something". But "doing things" is not a strength of modern Japan in either…

I'm going to laugh when we see the pirates on tv waving from their newly captured SDF ship. These clowns will wait until they are 50 meters away before frantically calling Tokyo for instructions and trying to find their checklist for what to do if threatened. By the time they…

I'm sure the part-timers who do the demolition will get extensive training, (perhaps as much as 10 minutes) before being handed helmets and hammers and told to ignore the hair loss.

But at least Japan will not get charged for their treatment because they have no benefits and their records…

Rudd, it will happen here far more than any meeting...you'll have people desperate to get back to their jobs before they're fired and realizing that if they vote against the group (who will include professional judges determined to find everyone guilty) they will be there longer. Japanese people would sell…

"Uh oh, Jury duty. I hope their jobs can accommodate"

Sure they will. They will just force them to use their vacations, or come in to work each night after the court closes. This is Japan; anything they can do to make people's lives more horrible they will do. Bosses…

No worries....the economy and word-of-mouth are "taking steps" to reduce the numbers. I've had two friends who live here meet their families in other Asian countries because Japan is just too expensive and in one case because the parents felt that the other country was far friendlier and more welcoming.…
