I registered on time and so spent an hour tonight in an online queue of over 7000 people. Finally, after an hour waiting, I reached the front of the online queue. There were options as to what events I am interested in. I clicked on them. That was it. Could choose evening or afternoon. No dates available. There were two links available from the opening ceremony option. One explaining the venue and the other its location. And that was it. I then got logged out and couldn't reconnect. So I have no idea if I have been successful or not. I guess the system has crashed.

What I want to know is who has President nincompoop's ear? He's very opinionated and thinks he knows best. Why? Where is he getting his non fake news and real facts from ? Is it Mossad, Fox news, the Kremlin or North Korea? Maybe it's all of them? Why isn't he being called out for the traitor he is to freedom and democracy? with the power he has he could be making the USA and the world a safer, happier place to live. Instead, he chooses to promote division, hatred and rivalry. He's a dangerous, belligerent fool.

Hitler himself was a big fan of referendums. That shoud tell you all you need to know about how useful they are and to whom they're useful.

There are a lot of people on here saying teachers shouldn't be allowed to behave this way. But in the UK where this teacher would be immediately suspended then eventually sacked, teachers are now routinely punched, stabbed and murdered by their pupils. There are even police permanently located in high schools and knife arches to search the pupils for weapons. Much better to let the teachers defend themselves and to require pupils to respect teachers on pain of direct teacher retribution. Well done the Japanese teacher. He should be applauded.

I wear a mask when I'm coughing and sneezing so my germs aren't spreading all around the train or over my colleagues at work. It's considerate to do so.

I hate this man. I had about 700 pounds worth of bitcoin that I was trading daily on mtgox and slowly increasing the value. Then I lost everything. I tried following the compensation route. Lots of letters from Japan. I gave them all the information they asked for, in time, and still got nothing. That was the end of my trust in cryptocurrency.

Im British and teaching in Japan with a 5 year visa and love it so much I'd like to stay forever. How does one go about it ?

It is so sad to witness Japan and South Korea on such bad terms. In a crazy world with Trump doing his best to trash everything, the two countries should be working together closer than ever.

There shouldn't be any tax on food.

How does a foreign person living in Japan get their free vaccination ?

This is just another tax cut for the rich. Poor people already struggling to feed and clothe themselves, and to pay heating and cooling costs, will pay increased consumption taxes so the rich can buy a new car for a cheaper price. Disgusting economics.

Increase income and inheritance tax for the richest. Anything else will almost certainly cause a contraction in the economy.

Personally I'm setting up my own website this weekend. Then I'm leaving Facebook. I'm no longer prepared to participate in the gutter sewer Facebook has become.

About six years ago around 7 am in the south of France three completely silent aircraft flew at about 60mph over my head. They were about 300 metres above ground and appeared to be each the size of a car. They also seemed to have no discernible wings. I didn't think they were alien. Now I know it was probably this technology. But it just shows the military are probably already using this or similar inventions.

What ridiculous laws. And almost certainly unenforcable. They do nothing other than make Japan and South Korea appear as Police states.

Incredible that a nation as advanced as Japan cannot successfully operate a windfarm. In the North West of England the power company there has just announced all of its power will be wind generated. What works in the UK can surely work in Japan?

Everybody likes trading with China but nobody wants a rabid China flexing its muscles and denying democracies their rights to freedom. One only has to look at the steady erosion of civil liberties and freedoms in Hong Kong to know what will happen in Taiwan should China take back control. It's time China was taught a lesson. The west and all those opposed to Chinese aggression should boycott all trade with the Chinese until they grow up and act more responsibly.

How will this robot right itself when a drunk pushes it over? What a waste of money it's utterly useless. Employ real people.

These are incredibly serious revelations. As a foreigner working in Japan I know the risk of Earthquakes but always felt relatively safe as I trusted Japanese design and technology, and Japanese society to build earthquake proof buildings. I live on the ninth floor of a relatively new mansion. Now I am not so sure I am safe. Prison is too good for those who falsify data that could have a massively damaging effect on other peoples lives. This story should be pursued until every faulty part has been replaced and the situation is resolved. Also, until the culprits are in prison.

Meanwhile what becomes of the bullies ?

Bank of Japan just needs to do some quantitative easing. No need for a tax hike then. Also create more yen and put it into the productive economy building and upgrading infrastructure. The extra taxes flowing in from increased productivity and consumer spending can be used to buy back bonds. No need for any tax rises then. Also cut military expenditure.

Modern Japan should be proud of it's peace loving defence only present. A wonderful country and people, now admired and respected by most people. I hope the Japanese people reject Abe the war mongers plans.

Yes yes yes please...

Here in Tokyo even in mid summer the sun has gone by half eight at night and its up again about 4 am,

In Summer they should add 3 hours to the time. Then the sun would be up at 7 am and go down at eleven. That would allow people to enjoy the evening.

It does seem to be the Japanese way. You hurt and bully an employee out of a job and then to cover your tracks accuse that employee of owing you money. Japan is overall a wonderful country but it needs to protect employees especially LGBTQ.

Nuclear power. Vastly expensive. Environmentally destructive. Just cloak every building with solar panels and build some hydrothermal power plants. Close the nukes forever.

It was my first experience of the warning system. I opened the windows and doors and then waited. Nothing came. It was still a good practise for me. Made me realise I haven't even got a table to get under too.

Royal families are so last century. Surely democracies should elect their head of state ?
