Russis is quickly going back to its old way. Putin is a control freak who sadly won't let his power go.

And once again, Canadian tax payers get to bail out "Canadians" who have never stepped foot in Canada, let alone live there. And people are up in arms because Canada is trying to strip away citizenship from them. Lebanon all over again.
Jeremiah, not idea what you're talking about - who was arrested? People without valid Canadian passports who claimed to be Canadian?
I wish the Syrians well. They've suffered enough.

Raise it. It means I'll have to work longer but more than happy to if it means I'll get the pension I'm paying for - and keeps me out of trouble when I'm older!

Getting really, really sick of reading such stories on JT. The government needs to step up and sort out these parenting issues, mental issues and whatnot. They also need to do something about their child welfare laws. This guy needs to be in jail with his balls cut off.

Am I the only one shocked at the 10%?! I thought it would be much, much higher. They are more honest than the Japanese government and TEPCO.

@ tmarie - mostly agree. But I reckon in all these East Asian nations, there will always exist a core of extreme-rightists wanting to stir and provoke their (remarkably) similar counterparts across the sea/border. Even 500 years from now probably!
There are extreme right in every country though - regardless of the history and the like. Sad as it is.
I agree with Ossan - which is a first - I have been to Hiroshima on the anniversary and there was zero anti-American issues. The only people with anti-American issues, in my experience, are usually older drunk guys in bars who are losers in life. Easy to blame the Americans than themselves I guess.

I'd be more than happy if Japan "got over" the victim mentality with regards to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not going to happen though - and neither will this until they all die out. The differences being though, Japan won't let Hiroshima and Nagasaki go with the deaths while I think the Koreans will.

How can they ask for more money when they have been paid none? How can you excuse Japan for paying off a government rather than the individual claimants?
Because that is often how it works. The governments make agreements, one pays the other and the receiving ones sorts out who gets what.
Wasn't aware but does it matter? Japan has paid. They paid the Korean government. The claims need to go to the Korea government, not the Japanese one. It isn't Japan's issue now since they settled with the Korean government. Does that suck and seem sneaky? Indeed but I would suggest the Korean government is worse for not giving the money to those who should get it.
I'm not in their shoes - and nor are you. If I knew my government has taken money that was supposed to be for this, I would be protesting MY government, not the Japanese government. If my company paid my dad and that was the agreement - and it was legal - blame my dad, not the company.

especially if you're a foreigner
Newsflash!! He's Japanese.
I also doubt his nationality had anything to do with this guy getting angry. More like a rich target. Though again, if it was one of his dogs, fair enough for the neighbor to complain.

Two Japanese arguing. If he did shove the neighbor, that is assault. Let him be charged and deal with a fine or a suspended sentence. If it is their dog's crap, fair enough on being called on it.

**Because the fascist jack boot korean govt of the 60's didn't support it's citizens doesn't mean the accusations are false.
I don't think anyone is saying they are false. The Japanese paid a large sum of money to the Korean government. They're done paying/. If the Koreans protesting want more money, they need to see THEIR government about it. Haven't you wondered why the Korean government stays out of this? They know Korea accepted money and there would be hell to pay from Japan and a few other countries if they tried to get more money. It doesn't matter who ran the government then, they were paid which settled the matter in terms of apologies and money.

Nine months too late and hate to say it, the world doesn't care anymore. There are plenty of other issues now that people are focusing on.
I have a few messages - get some decent politicians, treat your immigrants better, deal with your aging population...
Though I doubt those are the messages they are looking for.

Megosa, being forced into sex after saying no or not giving permission to have sex (having sex with someone passed out who can't say no). I thought everyone knew that.
Agree the rate is too high.

A 25-year-year-old unemployed woman Funny, she is married with kids. If she was a good mom, she'd be called a housewife. You know, the women that stay home, look after their kids, don't have jobs, get a huge tax break from the j-government to encourage them to stay home....
So I'm going to guess she was let go, jr is home with mom and she'll get a suspended sentence if charged at all?? Pathetic. Cue chimes of "Japan needs to do something of their child welfare laws".
