Snopes reports that Walmart is not firing anyone pertaining to a tax break policy.

The US should just give back to Japan the full means to defend themselves. Maybe China would get the clue then.

Take it to a launch pad over the ocean, AND LAUNCH IT TOWARDS THE SUN. Along with all other nuclear waste.

So everyone agrees, %100 of the population in Nakatonbetsu smokes. Yea that's what I thought. I feel for the town, the implications made came out of nowhere, and bash any reputation the town has.

I own a Wii U. I bought it to play Pikmin3. That is the oNLY game for the console I own. It seems to me Nintendo does everything, but make games.

Nintendo is failing because they won't make any games until their console sales have satisfied their forecast. They're playing a sick game with the consumer and it's really hurting them in return. Their in-your-face attitude, 'we won't make any worthy games until our quotas are met,' is complete disaster for the company. They build the most cutting edge console their is, release it early, and refuse to develop any platform games for it since Pikmin3. D:

Military spending! Military spending! All it is is military spending! Could be doing four dozen other things with the money, but no we GOT** to spend it on the military.

Between Japan setting a record deficit and trying to boost expenditure, anymore military spending will turn Japan into the US!

I don't understand. Maybe in a high congested area where delivering furniture or such impedes traffic, like Japan. If not in those circumstances, going somewhere to pick something up to drag to your house is inconvenient.

no full metal panic huh

Even if Japan has to foot 1/8 of the cost, I as an American feel disgraced Japan has to foot a third to move our troops.

no tolerance for of that; i would have done the same thing. good example for the kid though.

Why does the government allow Tepco's denial for outside help?

The UN should demand all countries to purchase Japan's emission and recycling technology.

Housing markets drive the economy. Japan and the US have a hard time understanding that.

only in america would a five year old have a rifle, and as a 'gift' too.

How much longer will the world tolerate North Korea? The Kim Dynasty has killed millions more than the Nazis, and maintained its order without world intervention for over 60 years. It drives me insane that we tolerate this; and that China allows this. Time for someone to liberate the North Korean people, this has gone on LONG ENOUGH!

Japan needs to be put in its place when it comes to respect for the sea.

We'll see about that.

I'm reading the comments and they're all dissing nuclear energy. It seems rapid growth came before common sense zoning regulation/ oversight. Nuclear waste, in my opinion, shouldn't be stored or kept on Earth, but launched into space. If Earth has the audacity to keep tens of thousands of dangerous futile obsolete satellites orbiting around, we should have no problem launching well equipped capsules full of nuclear waste four galaxies over, if not be destroyed by space.

Nuclear waste should be launched into the sun via rocket.

Every country can take a few lessons from Japan.

And people wonder why no one respects Japan on the world stage... Killing Earth's creatures and lying about it is an international crime.

The SS is only hope of the ocean.

Everyone needs to heavily invest in alternatives to fossil fuels, also engineer extensive recycling programs. Big countries need to dedicate their federal land to preservation, and plant large sums of trees to reduce carbon. Introduce carbon taxes. There are many methods that can be taken to ease the prices on oil. Why Japan is not revitalizing its nuclear program is beyond me.

Raise the drinking age! I for one wouldn't want to foot the bill for keeping teens in jail half of their life.

It's Japan's land. China has enough land. How can they make claims like that when they don't take care of the land that they already have?

How can Abe end dispute with China and appear strong enough to negotiate with mother Russia? One thing at a time, he needs to watch what he says, as no one can (not even his advisors) predict the future of these tensions. Bad negotiating with China will leave Russia laughing.

Sony should ditch their music application on the PS3 and make it compatible with Apple's iTunes.

G20 should discuss green energy and carbon footprint reduction. Why isn't Japan using whats left of its nuclear program? China's smog problem, and the additional carbon output aren't doing any good.

I want to see proof of this scientific research. Being that we've studied the moon more than our own oceans, it may be interesting to see. Don't buy the lies, Japan. We need to take action as a planet to preserve and protect our oceans and its creatures. Stop killing dolphins and whales!

What the are all you guys talking about? Japan is definitely regarded a super power.
