Hatsumi is very respected all over the world....its always easy to criticise so putting aside arguing the various styles , im keen to hear from people who devote their entire lives to something and want to impart some of that knowledge to others.

Buying bonds is not the same as donating money....the poor in Japan will not suffer because the BoJ makes investments, in fact its considered a stabilising move for the European and Japanese economy. Thus if it achieves stability the numbers of homeless in Japan might not decrease but they wont rise either...hopefully.
Though Ireland is costing the EU 70 billion, there still remains about 450billion in funds which they say should cover portugal and belgium. (That figure needs double checking sorry) so Im surprised they are selling more bonds unless when they release that figure they didnt actually have the cash in hand. Probably Germany doesnt want to pay more from its own coffers
Here in Europe, Germany and UK are calling for change to the maastricht treaty to make it harder for EU countries that need bailing out. Portugal and Belgium are said to be next. Italy is in dire straits and experts predict Spain will bounce out of it due to strong tourism,exports and austerity packages being pushed thru. Recently China did purchase huge amounts of Spanish debt (thankfully!) and ...after failing to purchase armaments from Spain as the deal was blocked by the EU....though there is no fear of direct interference by the masive debt buyer the presence of chinese discount stores and other such businesses is sharply increasing! ..if the locals dont work hard the chinese will!

A very shallow article that chooses to concentrate only on the problems of one country.Problems that are also faced by many other nations around the world, and problems which the most developed nations faced in their own development over the last century...China is the largest country so it will have large problems. Which country doesnt have problems?? This article is so simplistic in its approach For each problem their are policy decsions taken to ease and reduce their impact, so its not a static state of affairs,its an ongoing dynamic process..some years things improve others not.
This article also does not take into account the future development of other countries a such as India, Brazil and many more with huge populations that will also face these issues and add to the world demand for raw materials.so I dont see the point of focusing only on China.
Lets face it, the world is changing, dont fear it

i did a training course in laughter yoga,....although it sounds stupid to some at first..once you start, its totally contaigious and great fun. the 6000yen doesnt make me laugh as local laughter groups try to run these things as cheaply as possible usually. But sure overheads are high for large event spaces etc.

South Korea will be the most relieved to know NK is backing down....its a matter of political survival for politicians in SK to put on a hard line show on against NK but in reality it will never be an option for them to have Seoul reduced to rubble if it could have been prevented by any means...attacking NK , a war with NK, is suicide for Seoul.
so..NK get their food and everyone saves face!
my very first posting on this topic a few weeks back suggested dropping food supplies and wishing them all a merry christmas....but seems far too many war mongers have to chew out their egos first....before reaching the same conclusion....Gee, we humans must be learning something, 50 years ago 100s of 1000s of young men had to die before taking a peaceful option
how do you say merry christmas in nth korean???

The issue of the cartoon caused major outcry at the time... in my own opinion its stupid to publish such content if you know darn well that it will invite violent attacks,... Youtube has a documentary on the guys life nowadays as he watches his back everyday but continues to produce offensive comics....the decision by someone to carry thru on the threat may be linked to other issues too..lets see what more news comes out

Nazi Uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss and are still the coolest of any army gear ever made....
I dont spport their ideas in any way but as Japan was on the "baddies" side in the war then its a hard one to lay this guilt trip on them that comes from Europe. In Japan war veterans dress in their gear still today and visit Yasukuni shrine etc. because its part of their heritage..good or bad....do people say "hey get those uniforms off!", japan committed many atrocities but is all imagery banned???..no ...only the chinese make a noise...and did china ever commit atrocities??ask Tibet... The uniforms are Historical and nowadays used for comical parties and paraody. Perhaps Children dont know the difference...but adults have the right to pretend they know the difference

why not insist female customers use id cards and do age checks to turn away minors....thatd really kill their bizness as it thrives on secrecy.
tho they would just do it in the park or some bathroom anyway. how can u stop it really? its sad that so many young girls turn to prostitution as they do in cambodia and thailand...but in japan its not a survival issue.
the problem is that both sides are consenting, supply meets demand
