    rjd jr,

    Why not travel to Iran? I can think of lots of great reasons to go there. Do yourself a favour and pick up a book or two on the history of the country. Learn something. Iran Today by Dilip Hiro would be a good start.

    You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Other than basing your argument on a news paper article have you even checked the MOFA website to back up your position? If you can post a link supporting your point then why haven't you?

    BTW which test is…

    Worst game I've seen in a long time (guess I shouldn't have expected much). Way too much over-the-top physical stuff going on elbows, pushing, holding, body-checking. Pathetic. In my opinion the ref was clearly favouring the Japanese team by not dishing out a few more yellow cards against them. I'm…

    gogogo,

    I think you should have googled the article yourself before posting. If you had you would have found:

    "Japan will give "favorable treatment" to foreign residents with a certain level of Japanese language proficiency by extending the maximum length of stay for their resident visas from the current three…

    jerseyboy,

    'government run' hospitals?

    It would be interesting to know how many people had an acceptable level of Japanese before coming here. If Japan had the same requirements I doubt most of us would be here! Of course I think it's important to know a language before moving to a foreign country. In my…

    skipthesong,

    the point i was trying to make was that people didn't always 'hate' america. this article is about the raise of anti-americanism. i gave some examples of what i thought contributed to the problem and you retorted with the same old

    'we saved you butts so shut your trap'…

    Seems a lot of French need to retake their history courses

    Perfect, exactly the ignorant attitude I was talking about. Guess you think French history started with America 'saving their butts'. Read your own history books. Where did the Statue of Liberty come from and whose actions helped get it…
