Good luck with that. Seems you don't have a clue about how the royal family in Japan works.
I agree with you about needing to be a little more normal and the like but I don't think that is their fault.

The arrogance comes from thinking he can dictate whom he gets to play for. There will be egg on his face (and a huge ego burst) if they pass him over and no one wants him.

**Japan didnt' decide the system, did we? So we played in the system set by the WBC and we won, twice in a row. **
Wareware whaaaaaaat??? ;)
Hide, I made a point - this guy is arrogant to think he gets to dictate which team he goes to - if anyone wants him.

Does anyone actually want him? Seems a bit too arrogant. Beggars can't be choosers.
Folks, ignore Hide - he's very "ware ware" with Japan. Takes any criticism against anything Japanese personally.

Go back to the way it was - where women could rule. This is a "recent" rule - and a stupid one at that!

REALLY? ...really... if that is the definition of not being rich, then I have been going in the wrong direction all my life. Horse driven carriages, first class fights, a fully furnished and serviced palace in Tokyo, and a chauffeured limo. Where do I sign up for this welfare program because it sounds really nice to me.
You value that stuff more than you freedom? Feel free! I am sure the princess would be more than happy for you to take her place.

Well Cleo, I would say wait and see but even if they don;t actually do anything, they'll be looked after well - which is more than some of the poor pups in this country.

Those dogs aren't used for protection Where did I say any were?
You can defend chows all you like - they have a rep as being the dumbest dog out there. Perhaps you got lucky and had smart ones?
As for Huh? Tell that to all the people whose kids have been savaged by them. I'll take a poodle any day. Try looking at and blaming the owners for that. Smaller dogs are NOT good with kids and actually, if you look up anything on toy poodles they will tell you they aren't good with kids. The smaller the dog, the more tension they have and they tend to bite more - not to mention be yappy, annoying things. A four year old pulling the ears and crawling over a rottie isn't going to seriously harm it. A four year old doing the same to a poodle is going to hurt it and the poodle will fight back. Generally, the larger the dog, the better they are with kids. I would much rather a rottie for kids than a toy poodle and anyone who has done their research should agree with that. The attacks? Very rare, sensationalized and look at the owners. Blame them, not the breed.
Cleo, certainly not all do but wouldn't it make more sense to get a dog that could do a whole lot more rather than one who will just be in fashion for a few years? If they want smell, they should have gone with a hunting dog like a beagle - though damn stubborn and hard to train, amazing sense of smell. An overall balance would be good - these poodles were a poor decision. Come on, a toy poodle? LIke I said, it won't last in the cold looking for a hiker.

**Before becoming Batman, this Mr Woodford made a long career in that company and the bad smell didn't disturb him during years. As long as he could benefit that was perfect, then when his career was facing a wall, he can quit and burn the boat. He can shake hands with the Tepco guys. ** I don't think he had a clue until he came here as to what was going on.
As for "Japanese before foreigner"... if this company wants to save itself it is going to have to learn to play by international rules and that basically means nationality and "saving your own" goes out the window. Will they be smart enough to get that? They might not have a choice if the investors force it on them. The business world is watching and this will determine the future of investing in Japan I think. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

Fair enough. My uni has coaches though that are just that - coaches. They get called nothing else. Seems rather crappy that you can teach PE at the uni level with just a BA while everyone else needs to have min an MA.

I never, nor did anyone else from what I read, called them stupid. However, they are certainly not built for police dog worker. I thought that was pretty obvious but clearly I was wrong.
You do know that police dogs take people down and do assist in aiding people during rescue, right? Sorry but a toy poodle isn't able to a) take people down or b) aid in a rescue except for using its nose. As I already pointed out, they have limited stamina as well. This is a PR stunt - and a terrible one at that. Stick with large dogs for the safety of the people.

They have no holdings or have any estates and in reality are not "rich". They live by a stipend of the government and do not have any need of money. From that point alone one may consider them rich, as they do not have to "work" for a living.
Most expensive welfare receipts ever!!

You would expect this kind of behavior from one of the "Air India" or "Philippine Air" pilot's, Not Japan... (Sorry, India and Philippines no disrespect intended)
That is the equivalent of "I'm not racist but..." and then telling a racist joke.

Nicky, a good point. I have no idea how many times I have heard how horrible British food is by the locals - who have never even been there. I had no issues there. Give me London over Tokyo any day when it comes to food. A heck of a lot more variety and much more authentic and affordable when it comes to foreign food.

Clearly some people have forgotten the last guy to be like that was Koizumi and look how popular he was.
Do you not know what Koizumi did to the workers? You can blame the large number of fleeters and contract workers on him. He had the charm indeed but was a snake that ruined Japan for the working and middle class. Hashimoto will be no different. Right wing nut who is already trying to change rules to get what he wants.

How about putting all new reactors in Fukushima and close the rest in the country and rely just on Fukushima? Not like most of it is fit to live in, grow food... Give up on it now and make it useful. The wasteland could produce all of the country's power and well, if there is an explosion, nothing new and nothing damaged.

She wrote a totally unbiased, un-accusatory piece, only to have a bunch of contentious gaijin run in and point fingers at Japan. Pretty typical really. Unbiased? Did you miss the part about Japan being safe and gaikoku being dangerous?
Could have been Osaka. Could have been but SHE wrote about another country as if Japan doesn't have issues. This is why people get their nose out of joint. If you've read her former "work" you'll see this is something she does often.
Japan isn't safe - ask all those girls who get felt up on trains.

Honestly it is like some of you know nothing about dogs. This was a poor choice and based on the popularity of them types of dogs.
Other dogs breaking bones? Do you have ANY idea how how light a poodle's bones are? They are great for swimming, yes. However, they wouldn't be able to tow anyone to safety. They are full of energy for about oh, a five minutes. They wouldn't last trekking, they wouldn't last in the cold... I highly doubt they'd be able to rescue anyone - and who cares abotu allergies?
With regards to intelligence, I can't believe someone brought up chow-chows and dachshunds in the same sentence. Chow chows are known to be thick as sh@t. Dachshunds are average. Everyone goes on about labs but let's be honest, they are dumb and do anything they are told to do. Being a "yes man" in the human world isn't a sign of intelligence so I have no idea why people think it is okay in the dog world.
