It's amazing that overseas countries are still so convinced in the safety and efficacy of the Japanese Nuclear Power Industry that they still want to buy their products and services.
They obviously never read the press articles, reports and other media coming out of Japan.

Should be interested in how many police it took to arrest 26 violent gang members, when you routinely see 4 or 5 police around a single bicycle rear light violation.

A) Always say, "thank you for that good question" - it gives you a couple of seconds extra to formulate a response.
