When the ground is frozen or slippery the best you can do is to go by train or subway. If you are driving a car and another car is moving in your direction there is very little you can do to avoid it.

I doubt that the people have such a short memory to forget that the LDP let the people down when this party's cooperation was needed . Not a year has passed since the Tohoku earthquake.

The LDP should not call for elections too soon. They were the ones that refused cooperation with Kan, when it was time to forget differences in order to help the people in need. And there might still be people around who have not yet forgotten that.

I think it is stupid to set fire to a shrine that glorifies war. That will not change war lovers into peace lovers. Yet I would like to learn from Kentaro 75 how he will teach younger generations to apreciate peace. To me it seems impossible worship war criminals and at the same time brand others who use exactly the same methods as terrorists.

I would like to know with whom Naoto Kan was unpopular as prime minister : with the power companies or with the people?

As ben4short and his comrades stated already, there do exist other movies on similar stuff.That much I concede, but the conclusion is utterly wrong. So let him make one more sick movie?Do we not really have enough of that tasteless stuff? I would do what I could to stop that nonsense!

I too was surprised to read that 75% wanted to return to such a dangerous place. Are there not enough able people at Fukushima University that could explain how dangerous that still is. Why should people want to risk their lives?

Of course if you are in Malaysia you will be dealt with according to Malaysian law, what else could you expect? I am not sure,however, if we really know the nearer circumstances of this lady. If her guilt is proven,nobody can help her,except God. Yet if the circumstances should be not so clear as it seems, capital punishment would be wrong, because nobody can revive a person who was executed. So the only plea I could make to the Malaysian court is, to look carefully into the matter and find the appropriate judgement.

No,there is enough light in Japan,even in Winter. These illuminations have nothing to do with the "Spirit of Christmas" etc. If we could help needy people with the amount that would be saved, that would be a better demonstration of love or an encouragement.
Posted in: Do you think Christmas illuminations should be displayed in Japan's cities this year or should they be canceled or curtailed in order to save electricity?

I don't get it! There are Copts in Egypt being treated as second class citizen, they are even being killed, and they protest against this unfair treatment. Yet the only response they are getting here is :"Only renounce your religion,and everything will just turn out fine!" Is this not the most unbelievable fairy tale of mindless people? It seems that the most ineffective religion of all is the religion of those who pretend they had no religion and look down on others.

Steve, your logic really is overwhelming : you will make us believe that religous minorities persecute the majority. If you do not know the facts about religous persecutions it would be better to say nothing.

I am not quite sure if it is such an achievement to see to it that this kind of "art" has to be prolonged, where the traditional view that woman are minor than men is rather obvious. Although many will hasten and tell me he opposite, I do not trust these words.

For our safety it is about time to find more efficient ways to control the air traffic controllers and those who employ them.

Unforgiveable! A minister has to lie at any rate, otherwise he is not fitted for this job, according to the opposition parties. Even if it is seems irresponsible to let these people return to the contaminated area you have to keep up the appearance, as if it would we possible. In my country a minister who would tell such kind of lies to the people would be sacked. In Japan you cannot become minister, if you tell it like it is! Strange.

Japanese people may say at first they cannot play piano, and when you persist to ask, they play Beethoven,Mozart etc. If you introduce yourself you usually keep the ball low. But it could be that the LDP really is afraid of people who ask questions that would make plain the mistakes of the past when the LDP was ruling.

No, I would not have done the same,because I have hope that does not depend on posessions. Yet I feel deep sympathy for this family. But I do not agree with those who are just blaming the goverment, without doing something themselves. That will not change anything.

Dear Shumatsu_Samurai, I did not write intellectually but mentally. I know that many elderly people feel lonely because even their children and relatives do not visit them and do not talk to them. Don't think that there is much diffenerence in other parts of the world. The point I tried to make is this : we should try to stay in contact as much we can with our parents and grandparents. That can keep them from getting dement too early and will keep them alert in many things.

This could only happen with elderly people who have been left alone for too long. If the children would keep better contacts to their aged parents they would be better in shape mentally and detect such scams more easily. We should not put all the blame on the banks.

Maybe, people are fearing the wrath of their ancestors if they would not welcome them in their homes at Obon. It could be that this fear is stronger than the fear getting contaminated with nuclear radiation.
