Not looking good. Want to bet Toyota takes on less new recruits next year? Silly buggers tried to save a few dollars and have probably ended up costing thousands of jobs and years of disgust from the American public. Betcha Toyota is now looking for a patsy to dump all this on. Bet he is Japanese and I bet his family will be well looked after.

Nature is probably the most feared exterminator.
my point exactly. no need for asinine arguments blaming whales for dwindling fish stocks.

You presume that whales aren't controlled by natural events, as was the case before the 19th century, there were plenty of fish in the ocean then. Your argument is the same one whalers use to try and get the greater fishing population to support their wasteful program. Wrong however. It was man over utilising the resource that upset the balance of nature, not nature.

Wow they are getting worried enough that it is making more and more headlines. Who said extremism doesn't get results. Japanese just need to go home and keep their eating culture to themselves and the world will keep quiet just as they do in about the Artic circle whaling. If Japan leaves the IWC and still goes to the Antartic killing whales there will be an even greater public outcry. Basically this is a lose lose for Japan, hence the "playing victim" strategy.

Interesting: Rudd has just threatened legal action on behalf of Australia if the Japanese go back down under next year. To friggin late Kevin but shows more backbone than the New Zealand pussies in power.

Need to tuck in their shirts if they want to win games, oh and stop using hair care products before a game. Make up as well for that matter.

Cool trend, not what the auto makers need to hear though. Bike sharing schemes like other cities have would be a good thing as well, especially considering how many abandoned bicycles there are.

Narita is really good, not too spread out, great access from the city and best of all everything works to aid the mass flow of people. Chiangi, pass it's too spread out and the young men with sub machine guns walking around freaked me out.

Again people kill people not guns, odd that multi-fatality shooters happen predominantly in the US. God bless the 2nd amendment.

Cliffworks: wrong wrong and wrong. Historical fiction shouldn't be quoted as fact. There are still plenty of Moriori descendants on the Chatams. Better read "A History of New Zealand", by Michael King. certainly a well researched account of history.
