    Cynic: they just want to practice English for free as opposed to pay.
    They are just going to annoy tourists with stupid questions like:

    Do you like Natto? Whats your favorite Japanese food? Do you like Japan? How old are you? Whats your hobby? Can you use chopsticks? Do you like sports? Are you married?

    And giggle at the answers.

    Everyone here is missing the obvious joke.

    It won't be soon until until they release the speeches of Jeremiah Wright the guy who Obama listened to for 20 years!!!!

    Wright Sensei

    "Godo damu Amelica"

    If Wright Sensei didn't teach Obama how to make a speech well then who did?

    I can't wait to hear Japanese reciting Jeremiah Quotes.

    This is why!!

    "Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism."

    Karl Marx, 1867

    In Australia if you are highly talented and skilled you earn 3 times more money as a contractor, completely control your own holiday periods, bypassing all the crappy full time politics of working FT. FT work is for chumps.

    Get a global skill. Contract global.

    Even better, become an entrepreneur and create a virtual business that requires less than 4 hours or even 0 hours a week to run....like me. Live anywhere and do anything you like.

    Don't be a chump.

    Um, the entire world dictated morality to Japan, or didn't they teach you that at school and they will do it again.

    [“If there are plentiful resources, and we can take some without causing whales to go extinct for future generations, what is wrong with that?” Ito asked.]

    I have said it before and I will say it again, the flaw in this argument is that it is only sustainable if it is only Japan. If every country in the whole world had the same attitude there would be none. This sentence underlies the selfishness of the Japanese position. Why they don't get this never fails to amaze me. It is either everyone or no-one. Not no-one except Japan. Whaling by everyone is not sustainable. Period.

    Let them blow each other up. Just like the world let Iraq and Iran blow each other up for eight years.

    I don't work in Japan. I started my own company, made a fully automated internet business and pick up a check every month. AND I DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE. If I can do it here anyone can. Young Japanese and the Japanese Government should focus on developing the entrepreneurial spirit that once made Japan so great. I went to a venture capital seminar that said VC is 3 times underfunded in Japan. That means if I want 100 yen I get 30. In contrast America is 3 times over funded. If I want to start a business and ask for a dollar I can get 3. The biggest problem is that Japan has endorsed a strict hierarchal slavitude system for thousands of years, whether it be their own citizens or foreign nationals. The governments recent labor laws have simply reverted the country to the way it has always been throughout time. The elite completely exploit the weak. Japanese are the best in the world at creating systems and processes to deliver excellent service. If they spoke English and new how to negotiate well with other nationalities in Particular lead, with their systems they could create some of the best global service businesses on earth. Look at Toyota's service model. They win on the efficiency of their after sales service. Hands down. Japan needs to develop young global entrepreneurs. It is so easy to do. Do it now.
