Nessie – I understand the acticists have the right to protest against anything. I also see they have the right to remain silent on any other issues. I need to go to the Southern Tibetan border to count the number of escaping beings. I will make sure to hit them…

alexandrina - I am sure the Japanese want to buy Australian butter. Aside from whaling issue, I personally love Australian produces because I know they pay great efforts to kill farm animals in a least painful manner. The whaling issue is not really about whaling. The Japanese also do not…

Improved on it, and what??? “Shidoas” is not a big deal. Leave them alone. There is always an unstated presumption that everything has been created by the Westerns. This is all the same as what’s been happening in American classrooms. When foreign students (Japanese/Chinese/Korean etc) work very hard and get…

Once J-cop put the recording procedure in their interrogation manuals, they will perhaps mechanically conduct recording. Come to think about it, it’s scary if they start conducting interrogations in the manner Makudonaldo’s clerks would do.

It’s much easier to visit Lhasa than to visit Dharamsala since Lhasa can be accessed either by train or by airplane. China has been doing a lot better than India in creating a tourist friendly city. I hope China would also do better than India in hosting Dalai Lama and…

Enshrine Minke whales in Yasukuni! Then the Japanese will understand why one species is superior to others. Minkes are more important than other marine animals because they are gods. No matter how brutally lobsters are steamed alive, who cares about the death of the inferior beings. I need to go…

Great move, Mr. Ma. This is how a good political system is supposed to function. Wonder why some other Asian leades cannot make cool-headed decision in this manner.

The Chinese student was assaulted in Koreatown (Shimanouchi) where many people also speak Chinese. Two months after the victim’s body was found, the police arrested the perpetrator who has been hiding somewhere in Hyogo prefecture. Compare this with Ichihashi case. World of difference.
