Does Japan really think they can just unilaterally change a treaty? The DPJ is on drugs if the do. There will be consequences and they know it. My guess is this is mostly smoke and mirrors for the sake of the public.

3d sounds nice, but is it? In a big theatre it is great and the mild post movie headache is not too terrible. But at home sounds like it would have your kids blind and wearing inch thick corrective glasses by the time they are in their teens.

My guess…

This guy is a fall guy for his Yak boss. Shadow government leader Ozawa. DPJ is an even bigger disappointment than their inept friends in the LDP. Shame on Japan for allowing such fools and corrupt priviledged class twits to run this country. Normal working people here need to stop…

diggerdog. Good point.

I think a lot of people out there have been brainwashed by endless propaganda that portrays anyone who protests as some kind of insane leftwinger or rabid right winger. And it is very sad to see just how effective it has been.

Once upon a time people…

Wow. Pretty shocking. Then again, Japan is getting so weird that not much can shock a reader any more.

This guy is a Yak thug. I hope Obama gracefully declines to soil his hands with Ozawa's corrupt hands.

"Sufficient time" is what Ozawa should be spending in jail.

Ahocchau. You clearly don't know much about Japan. A lot of the people this bill would help were born in Japan. Japan's "different" is often based on racism and xenophobic hold overs from her past.

Bottom line for EVERY COUNTRY, the world has changed! People no longer are born, live,…

It is good to have goals. Gambatte.

Maybe figure skating. Maybe. A couple good skaters. Otherwise one or two possibles.

But expect to be disappointed if you set unrealistic goals Japan.

They should star arresting all the dim doctors who pass every illness off as stress. I wonder how many people die of curable or treatable diseases because some dim wit doctor fails to diagnose it or dismisses their symptoms as stress.

Where do these twits pick up their degrees? I've…

From ten years in Japan I have observed that the key failure of the educational system here is to create critical, analytical thinkers. I find so many adults lack the skills to critically evaluate problems and creatively approach solutions. Also I find that many people are highly specialized and lack…
