The only reason Japan has made it a consumerist holiday is because the majority of people living there are not Christian, only a small minority there are Christian. The point/idea of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And when they adopted this holiday, they looked at us (U.S.) and copied us. Christmas here is becoming more consumerist and i despise that.

Minello, you cant avoid war, its inevitable. Thats the cold truth.

What about the U.K.? Arent they also our greatest ally?

I take back what i said about kennedy, she just needs to be careful in japan.

The Government should only keep secrets that included the following:

*Undercover agents names, profiles, and missions

*News that would cause the public into mass panic thereby creating anarchy and the destruction of the country

The point is that there are secrets that need to be kept from the public.

Kind of hard to teach moral education if you can't lead by example. But "patriotism" is the general go-to resource when your economy is swirling the toilet. Gotta gear everybody up for the inevitable war. It's coming.

I don't think thats gonna happen. Its a global depression/recession, so every country's economy is swirling in the toilet. Though needless to say, some are better off than others.

BTW, JapanToday has an app for any ios users

Abe, call our gov't after the next elections. The next presidential cabinet, house of congress and representatives should be better than what it is now.

This cant be good. Since Abe and Obama have different political views, we can only hope that Miss/Mrs. Kennedy won't screw things up.
