  Since the people can't actually elect their officials, I'm sure Aso doesn't give a rat's a$$, and I'm sure he'll gladly say it. Even the utmost political pressure on the man would do nothing. That's Japanese politics for you -- you're not free to vote for whom is chosen on…

  Pretty funny posts guys. As to the 'alleged', it's usually stated as such until the person is convicted, even in cases as clear-cut as this.

  Seriously, though, there's a HUGE difference (and I don't mean in 'size') between kids playing in the buff in the fountain and a grown man…

  "Amazing how American and Japanese officials just allow China a free pass whenever they cause an international incident, specifically poisoning thousands of innocent people."

  Ummm... who's giving WHOM a free pass? Seems it's the Japanese government giving the idiots responsible for selling the rice for consumption a free pass!

  Obama has EVERY right to launch negative attacks on John McCain, who should be absolutely ashamed of himself.

  The absolutely ridiculous part of this whole campaign is that, despite Republicans being told point blank that what McCain/Palin are saying is for the most part lies (and not by posters on…

  Alpha: "I think you got this the other way around. It seems that the Dems do not respect maturity and will pander to the school kids more. I thought that Obama said that he was trying to bring a new campagin to politics."

  No one knows anything about this yet, clearly, and there is no proof that it was an attack on US interests; seems largely coincidental, if not, I grant you, but wait until the facts come in before you go ballistic, so to speak.
