Just thought I'd point out that Anit-semiticism refers to both Jews and Muslims by definition. Both come from semitic languages and peoples orginally. Nazi Germany used the word for just Jews, so people think it just refers to them

Pretty lame to blame mass suicides and weakness on katakana and a prior occupation. Blaming others isntead of looking at your own internal reasons is ridiculous. We aren't forcing them to use katakana. Katakana actually confuses me more than original Japanese words sometimes. This Kaga reaks of old man racism and hate

Tojo was guilty for what happened with the Japanese army during WWII, but he was pretty much made the main bad guy because they didn't want to prosecute the Emperor. They figured the Japanese would except things better if the Emperor was left alone, even though he was a main man behind what the Japanese military did. This doesn't excuse Tojo, but I think he knew that he was going to cast the main villain

Btw, Avimazalto, I'm Jewish, and have plenty of Muslim friends. Last time I checked, MOSQUES aren't generally used to teach people to harm others

It's two blocs away from the 9/11 site and would be good place for religious understanding. I cannot fathom someone opposing this center. We need to spread more moderate Islam in the world. And these people are Americans, which gives them the same rights that we all cherish

bicultural: bengoshi probably flew coach, like most of us. The coach seats are tiny, and if it wasn't for the better service, I wouldn't fly ANA

All this talk about hurting Japanese pride... The film points out something that many in Japan don't know about. It's informing people. While it is bias, it's a topic that should be discussed. The right wing nut jobs are always whining about something. You know what hurts Japanese pride more? A government that changes every year

Dolphin meat is horribly toxic. They shouldn't be eating it to begin with. If the meat wasn't toxic, I wouldn't care as much. Also, the government sometimes mislabels dolphin as whale, which is pretty heinous considering the mercury levels.
roughneck: Not everyone in Taiji eats dolphin. The local council in Taiji was against feeding dolphin to their children.

Asada did not look happy when they announced her scores. Of all the skaters, she looked the most stressed throughout this whole event. I was not surprised by the standings. All three women put themselves far in front of the competition. I was very happy to see Mirai's expression when she got 4th. She seemed very happy with her scores and performance. She was the best of the rest:)

Not all Asians are small. South Koreans and Mongolians are big. And I really hate the coverage here too. I'm fine with showing what all the J athletes did, but at least show the performances of the winners. They showed one jump by Lycasek
