Typical Americans and their lust for legal action. So what if the mileage is out. It is probably based on carrying less weight that the average American?

Excellent story. It is also the first report I have read this year. Well done ladies, I hope you grow in numbers and support. The morons in government need REAL opposition... "Hell have no fury" as the saying goes :)

Whatever, they should enforce retirement in the government at 65.

Why mourn for a selfish low life scumbag who only cared about himself? The man could have been a great leader by offering reform and a democratic government... But no, he decided to live a life of relative luxury whilst the people had to suffer under his narcissistic rule.

Isn't this the job of the police? Cut their Koban TV reception, and maybe, just maybe the keystones will go out on patrol...

Why killed? Was it because wandered into a residential area by mistake? Or did it attack people? Why not return it to the wild. Does any authority in Japan recognize or even understand animal cruelty?

I say de-list the company until it proves (not promises) to have implemented 21st century corporate governance, with a board of competent and independent directors..

This is not uncommon in Japan, in fact it is the norm. Have you ever noticed that the kuyakushou and Tax Office do not share information? This also applies to hospitals, dental surgeries and schools. The list just goes on and on. They are all too secretive and protective over information.

War chest... That sounds damaging. Unfortunately everything they have tried is about as damaging as throwing rocks made of cotton wool. i.e. totally ineffective...

I would have phrased that differently as follows:
It says economic growth has paused, mainly due to inefficient business practices which are rife throughout the country, combined with very poor corporate governance. The effects of a slowdown in overseas economies and of the appreciation of the yen have had a slight impact, however most of the problems are rooted at home, but nothing will change until we stop blaming overseas markets and take full responsibility to change the way we perform. It expects the economy to remain flat for the foreseeable future unless someone with some real skills and courage is elected to control the country, oust all the useless dinosaurs in the government and shake up the business world by introducing the concept of shareholder value and transparency. Until then we can all expect more misery and no growth (except for a rise the number of suicides due to the amount of stress living in Japan under an incompetent government...

Honda acting very slow is not a crime. Have you known any Japanese business (or government agency) to act swiftly? Making quick decisions is a concept that just isn't understood, taught or wanted.

It may seem dumb and slow to us. But it is just another part of the system designed to protect those in power. Why would they change anything that might cause the mighty to suffer... The WHOLE SYSTEM (Business & Government) is corrupt.

The Nation of lawyers and people who like to sue at every opportunity. Well, that's the image I have :) Sure it was an accident. Accidents happen.
I am sure the Honda airbags have saved more lives and prevented more injuries than the rare event of the airbag itself causing injuries?

If the Chinese did not act so ignorant, selfish and arrogant, there would not be a problem.

What exactly is the treatment for depression in Japan? (other than being told to 'ganbatte')... Being honest, I am surprised they even know how to diagnose the problem..
