I would suggest that all facts are known to both Japanese and American students before Yuma asks her question as there is a very good chance she only knows what shes read in her textbooks and from the J media and I wouldn`t want her to get chewed out…

It may have been mentioned in one of the previous 180 comments, I haven't had time to read every single one. But if the fishermen of Taiji are just exercising their rights to preserve and continue their tradition of hunting dolphins and they truly feel they're not doing anything wrong…

Go ahead enjoy your hockey, stretch it out over 4 years if you want too- but try not to insult we Americans that have so many other options. I see where Horsefella has offered some assistance.

Didn't realize you were so easily insulted. By the facts no less. Poor…

And that seems to rub the Canadians, that mill about here, the wrong way.

No. What rubs us the wrong way is your feeble attempts to hide your angst at losing the gold medal with comments such as these:

And so did those in attendance who voted on the games "All Star" and "MVP" awards- which is sorely missing from this article. THere were 10 awards open- and the US team took 6 ! Yep, including a second place finish in a tournement they came in ranked out of…

I do wonder how much money Japan is "donating" to IWC member nations to "influence" the vote in thier favor?
