  The core point here is about accepting responsibility. Just because things exist, and other countries do them, and there was a war going on - this doesn't eliminate responsibility.

  Beware the politician who continually tries to dodge owning up to actions.

  Dennis - he apologized for what he said, so that remark does not exist anymore.

  ...within 10 years.

  Whoa...slow down there. Don't do anything drastic with bringing these human tape-recorders into the classroom. Maybe a 50 year plan would be less disruptive and less shocking for students and staff.

  When my 2 year-old grabs a toy, doesn't let go and says 'mine'...I try to teach him about sharing and playing nice with others.

  Yeah but you got the easy part, you don't have to try and teach a billion of so children about playing nice now do you?

  If their parents did the same, adults on both sides might be able to solve this dispute without making themselves look like children.

  NKorea talking trash has been the ideal turn of events for Abe - gives him a chance to play along & show the people how strong of a leader he is.

  Regardless of how it turns out, checks and balances on any of Hashimoto's methods are important. He's a guy that defines himself as 'pushing limits and showing strength', thus those limits need to be clearly defined.

  Start kids learning at a younger age, rather than putting more 'test result' pressure on them in their teens.

  He had no driver's license and they were joyriding - it makes no difference if he was sleeping or not.

  5-8 years for killing 3 people in this situation isn't enough. This is embarrassing and sad.

  mindless comedies are great - this one just isn't done that well. There are a few parts that made me chuckle, but I didn't laugh like I wanted to.

  I'm sure any revisions will include the phrase 'doubleplusgood', or something similar.

  Isn't this called regular business practice in Japan? It's nothing a slew of apologies can't fix.

  I swear The Hash just looks for opportunities where he can voice an extreme opinion, so his followers will feel "he's a strong leader who's not afraid to say what he thinks".

  Besides that, however, I hope he does eventually back-up his statements here. I'd like to seem some change seriously implemented. A zero tolerance stance might be needed for a while.
