fat or not fat, shouldn't the airline be telling this before they sell the ticket?

He's in there and they eject him out? That's nonsense!!

Well, yes .. but I don't know of anyone who considers Buddhist extremism to be a Bad Thing. I may be wrong here, but Buddhism has traditionally been a very peaceful religion.

Yeah, Buddhism is a peaceful religion; but the attention a person is getting just because he is a religious leader is not good and clearly shows favoring one religion over another. That should make the second religion upset. And, White House should not be doing it openly.

I am not aware of history of Tibet but just looking at the size this nation might have, I wonder if they caused trouble to small neighbouring countries

Isn't Dalai Lama too a symbol of religious extremism?

In case JT already does not know, Fujistu has iPad long before this but different kind of product. This is also in international news now.

there is no point blaming the father. It was a mistake on his part but there are 30,000 suicides and this just happened to be from the cop's pistol.. if the pistol was not there also, he would have used other means like 29,999 others. Good thing is he did not go out shooting at others. My sympathy for the berieved family.

O! robbin and stealing are the same, eh.

. . . and who was reporting all this?

isn't the world supposed to end in 2012? so, no worries!

If Enya has performed, how is Susan 'bigger' than Enya unless they mean it literally?

they are kidding. 'Shin' is kanji for this year because it was the next most used word after 'Obama' this year. . .Shin as in Shinagata influenza.

does anyone really think this photo is well taken to be in a news site? When I see people with very good cameras and wide range of lenses, I thought Japan has a lot of good photographers but many of the photos that end up here in the 'picture of the day' makes me wonder if any of them really take good photos. . . my ketai camera would take a better picture.

yeah, that is if you work for Al gore . . till this news I was seriously thinking US govt does think for its citizen . .but. .

. . and how many wives does a Taliban chief actually have?

and there are traitors in US army who leak information to media? >> Two intelligence officials and one army official, who all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media

this is workplace harassment.

more I know Japan. . .

his argument sounds good to me and wonder why the court would not feel the same? were the evidence by 'witness' (who himself could have been the 'criminal') that strong?

any experts?

obama?

If I put the link then might be my comment will be deleted; but just finished reading similar news about how Taiwanese jobless are surviving in BBC news site. They have come up with innovative temporary jobs like errand-running, mosquito controlling, etc. (some examples were single mothers there also). Just meant to say - there are other ways to surviving. Then, another question : what is wrong with prostitution? If she does not do it, someone else will be doing it. It is the whole society that has to show the responsibility - not just her.

does revolution/crime/terrorism end like this? One down then hundreds rise up! Good luck to Sri Lanka. Hope there will be ever lasting peace and unity.

nice pic!

sending them back to their country sounds ridiculous to me.

Good Luck! (don't forget - this is Japan)

Why the heck is it stated as Japan as a whole? No Beatles stuff over here and it sounds like it is mainly in Osaka. Why not title it "Beatles remain popular in Osaka" or does that make too much sense?

Not just Osaka - I will add Hiroshima too. They are at so many places and in the weekend evenings, there are one or two small groups at different corners playing Beatles.

Japan needs more doctors and health care staffs to meet the demand. US gets young, competitive doctors from all around the world that is keeping the health services in US running. Same in Australia and UK. Japan has not been able to do so because of certain barriers. State of Indonesian nurses who have been called to help Japan is being discussed in the news recently.
