The news just mentioned that there was a keitai left behind in the car and it appears to belong to a Brazilian- how they can tell the nationality of keitai owners is beyond me.
Yet again, this appears to be Japan passing off a crime by people with Japanese blood as foreign. Like when they show suspects on TV and their Japanese names are in katakana to indicate that they 'aren't quite Japanese'.

How does the white man save the day in Avatar?
SPOILER
The blue chick saves the white guy at the end by shooting bad army guy with arrows. Just before that it was the 'god of nature' that summons all the creatures to help win the fight against bad army guys.
I didn't see any racist element at all in this movie.

how about anything from the last 60 years?
Wow. What a load of crap. Substitute 'Japanese' with any other group and it would be hilarious/offensive. Watch: Why the Canadians are Superior People. Why the Germans are Superior People. Why the Israelites are Superior People.
Japan so often gets used as an example in literature by academics who want an 'other' to compare whatever it is they're slagging off. I have lost track of how many times I will be reading a Western social science book and the author has stuck in the sentence 'The Japanese on the other hand have one word for this complex idea...'.
And to add to what Sharky1 wrote: the basis for this research is about 20 years behind current thinking. Oh well, I don't think this guy is a scientist anyway.

don't understand this- the French can speak pretty good English if they can be bothered to. Did they not confuse the Japanese with the French here?
Where are the Chinese? Not the best tourists as far as I am concerned.

This is japan, where tattoos are frowned upon. The next step (there always is a next step) will be a chip inserted under the skin but somewhere unobtrusive as, like in the article above, they will, “ hope to lessen the burden on foreigners as much as possible.”

Ha, things have been catatrophic to say the least lately, yet you have chosen to ignore all that and focus on the last few weeks as if the previous 4 months hadn't happened. Things could hardly have gotten worse. Percentage-wise, perhaps things have been great in the period of time you conveniently chose but overall the stock market is still a shell of its former self.

For now people are just not buying new cars and sticking with their old cars. the government needs to rethink its extortion policies- sha-kin, expensive highway tolls, and various taxes if it wants to save its golden goose. then again, who cares, eventually having less cars on the road is a good thing.

this comment and the others lack this lack intelligence. They are, however, full of ignorance and hate. Killing hundreds of innocent people is evil, pure and simple.

Most of these rockets fell in the desert. Not one person was killed because of these rocket attacks- these attacks which were a response to Gaza being closed off again by Israel.
Israel is getting what it wants. It controls Gaza completely and these little attacks by Hamas give it reason to tighten the stranglehold further on these poor people.
Hamas on the other hand are also feeding off of these Israeli attacks as now they have further reason for existing. They are feeding off of each other with no end in sight.

I say bravo activists. There are no scientific studies going on by Japan here and it takes the International Community ages to get round to doing anything profound to stop Japan, so if these guys disrupt the Japanese, good on them. Those shouting 'piracy' here need to go and look the word up.

If u erase emails from your lover, your wife can tell. Your in-box will go from the maximum capacity (ex. 200) to less, 199, 197. To the doubting wife, this is evidence you are trying to hide something.

Yeah, they killed themselves for the Emperor... you know, the descendent of the sun god. This 'courageous' way of thinking exhibited by these torpedo boys is being honored by these flag wavers, so yes, it is indeed revolting that this country can still parade these symbols directly associated with xenophobia and an imaginary sense of racial superiority.
