Nope ! Not concerned personally ! Just explaining why you think you saw "multiple bags". Filled with a whole lotta nothin... at least according to sales figures the past deacde and a half. You might want to focus on "that" reality R.O.T. There-in lies the discussion... not plastic bags !

What Japan should have done is called for full scale high level meetings with various international agencies and the parties directly involved. Japan should have spoken quietly but carried a big stick into that meeting... but most of all Japan should have never allowed itself to become the target of…

Typical Ossan response...
"This kind of thing happens to all automotive manufacturers."
Which makes it OK ??? You seem resigned to accept the lies and deceptive practices by Japanese auto manufacturers because "everybody does it" ??? I disagree ! Other nations employ more realistic and balanced approaches to how they…

"NK like Iraq, etc is NOT a threat to the rest of the world."
Sorry to disagree ! But I was in Japan when they launched that missle over Japan and into the pacific a few years back ! "No Threat" ??? That act alone should have provoked the Japanese…

"Whenever I go to Ikebukuro, the department stores are always packed and everyone's carrying multiple bags."

Next question... what will he do now and where will he live ? He burned some serious bridges when he stormed outta Japan. He hated the whole NPB system and made no bones about preferring to live and work in the USA. I think Nomo's real odyssey is just beginning.

Actually some14... the fault lies in "the system" ! One that encourages deceptive practices and falsehoods. In short, admitting to these defects and shortcomings early on has huge consequences. It's better to just sit back, make yer profit, and wait a few years down the line to admit wrong doing.…

No surprise. What is a surprise though is they have stopped blaming these plummeting numbers on "poor weather conditions" ! Bwahaha ! In any case, I suggest these department stores in Japan try to offer the customers something they want at a reasonable price. With the exchange rate at 104…

Why is North korea America's concern anyway ? They don't produce anything the US wants or needs and they're not in the same region. NK is Japan's concern ! NK is Koreas concern ! NK is Chinas concern ! Why can't these nations reel them in ??? Good to see…

First, why the hell is Mitsubishi Fuso still in business ??? Are j consumers so blind and stupid or just actively practicing "nationalistic" spending habits as explained by outside sources when confronted with these illogical situations. In either case... wake up ! These…
