The Money Olympics seem unstoppable. How long will it take until the world resets itself in terms of sport? This is a rhetorical question, by the way.....

Posted in: China says Nanjing more worthy of remembrance than Hiroshima See in context
An opportunity for China to again expose the lack of memory by the Japanese. This will never go away until Japan really, truly apologizes for their past.
But, you see, Japan will NEVER apologize to any other the countries they raped and pillaged. Cold hard truth. And they will never teach it or talk about it. Over time, it will disappear(or so they hope).
Just stating the obvious.

I believe that you lose your right to life when you take another life, plain and simple. The killers have taken the life of someone else, thereby losing their own right to life.

Posted in: Japan's national health insurance can save your life and savings See in context
Read the article and mostly agree with the points mentioned. I live in Japan and have been paying into the healthcare system for 12-13 or 14 years now and am content to do so. Peace of mind(70% of bill paid) does give me a nice feeling. As a Canadian, I see the abuse some to the system back home(Quebec) from afar and strongly believe that Canadians should PAY at least some of the medical costs up front. Yes, taxes are high and those monies are supposed to be used to pay the medical costs but, humans being humans, the system is abused. National healthcare in every country should be standard, in my opinion. This is a life issue, not money I'm talking about.
