  Aside from the crime at hand how does one eat 15 meals at Yoshinoya without droping over dead? MeanRingo, right on the money what a bunch of idiots to continue serving him.

  One more thing why spoil the games with this kind of right wing BS in the first place? I would be equally disappointed if the Japanese or any other nation brought their petty disputes to the games. Korea has been pushing this line for years although things have ramped up…

  Oh please, East Sea only means anything to Korea as the sea is not east of Japan. Go look at a map pick a year and it will say sea of Japan well before Japan colonized Korea. I would bet that China's maps refer to it as the Sea of…

  nutsagain, You are correct about the Japanese refusal to look at the barbarism of the IJA during WWII. I guess the thing that was in my mind when I was replying to imagawa was why are the Russians treated so differntly? Stalin certainly had nearly as much blood on his…

  This article nails Toyota's domestic sales problem on the head. A car in Japan is a luxury for weekend get aways for the most part. How often do you need to replace a car when you only drive a few hundred km a week? Raising prices in the domestic market…

  Good at least they are asking South Korea rather than Japan. Not that I believe for a second that aid will make it to the general populace.

  That's what this poll says but there are others that show Obama leading by about the same margin. Either way it looks like the luster is wearing off Obama's campaign, I think he's been overexposed and fatigue has set in with the voters. Given the Presisent's dismal approval ratings and…

  Hmmm, let me think... I'd tell my boss no, plain and simple. I'm all for being a team player but I've always made it clear that my life comes before the company. Maybe I get a pass because I'm good at what I do or maybe I get the "gaijin"…

  martyman, probably applies everywhere that there are bad cops. I was simply countering a Japan bash (inept J cops) with the fact that while it's good the Cambodians caught this guy it's also rare.

  I think Japan did the right thing against these priates of the high seas. Whatever your stance on whaling Sea Shepard's tactics put peoples lives at risk and that is unacceptable. I have no problem with protesting the hunt so long as the line is not crossed. If the Australian…
