Yes. let's all kill each other over pieces of colored cloth. Nationalism stifles the planet and species.

"...going forward." You mean in the future?

I overheard a conversation between some young English teachers and it sounded something like this: "...be that as it may, if you will, as it were, per se..."

And everyone's favorite: "...like, you know..."

The elephant in the room remains the unresolved problem of motion sickness that users feel. The cheerleader PR writers masquerading as journalists working for the controlled media don't like to write about that.

Everyone in Japan already knows everything that everyone is posting.

There, that should settle it.

Is it true that Korea and China have demanded the Japan apologize for this incident?

What a country!

I just had to quit using my new iPad mini, since the iOS upgrade hosed everything. I've been an Apple fan for decades and now I have to move on to Windows. They're upgrading software to cripple hardware only a year old now so you have to buy a new model. Apple is a disaster now.

Google is your friend.

GM killed 124 people with faulty ignition switches and the "fine" was 1/20th of the figure being thrown around for VW. No one at GM resigned or suffered any penalty, except for the customers who died.

The differnce is that GM gives $millions to politicians in campaign conributions and (wink wink) $100's of millions in lobbying, while VW only gave less than $50,000.

About 2.2 million large US diesel engines in Dodge pickup trucks and tractors trailers pollute far more, but are not required to pass the emissions test the small imported engines must pass.

I trust the "bad button" stalkers will be out in force soon. Facts are so inconvenient.

Instagram reminds me of McDonald's. Billions served, but only a handful digested.

Honda and Ford were caught too. The huge potential US fines for VW come from VW deciding to build a new engine manufacturing plant in Russia and not give in to the arm twisting of the US to build it in America.

This was meant to teach the Germans a lesson.

The formula for determing old age is:

Ea = DNa(c) + 1

Ea = Elderly age DNa(c) = DARNAME's age (currently)

Trumo: big ego, loud, obnoxious, thinks he's right about everything, says whatever pops into his head without any thinking, agressive, likes to argue, not well read, makes up his own facts, has no world knowledge or grasp of history, thinks the US should rule the world, has no solutions to anything, only boistrous talk.

He is just like most Americans I've met in Japan (or on Bulletin Boards), so Japan is used to people like him...

Constitutional legal challenges are a waste of time. Japan is a parliamentary democracy where votes change the people who vote for laws.

Ah yes, the 1960's again.

None of them are real. They're holograms. There's isn't a dime of difference between any of them, Republicans or Democrats.

Buffoons electing buffoons.

Great. English teacher economists.

Ease the worry of residents by moving Futenma to Ebisu. See if you can gain the understanding of Tokyo people.

There was another post between my two posts above claiming that it was was "baseless garbage" that there are less Okinawa employees than dependents or contractors. My play on words was lost in the shuffle.

The only rule you need to remember is the 80% rule. 80% are disfuctional in their own society...

There are approximately 20,000 US military dependents on Okinawa and another 2,500 civilian employees. In addition, there are civilian contractors.

There are approximately 8,000 local Okinawan employees.

The garbage is not baseless. The bases are the garbage.

Why don't you all just let people do whatever the hell they want to do, since they're paying to play and you aren't.

What the hell is wrong with you people? More gaijins telling everyone how to run their lives and how it's always "better" over there.

If I were governor of Okinawa, I would have the prefecture police start harassing all Y tags immedately. Every Y tag car coming out of all gates would get tickets for something, relentlessly, day after day. Anyone living off bases would be hit with huge "adminstrative taxes."

Tokyo and Washington are both bullies. You can't negotiate with a bully.

Only a naive child would blindly following the mantra that the US is "protecting" Okinawa and Japan. The US is in Japan for its own purposes and doesn't give a crap about "defending" Japan.

The same idiots said that The Philippines would be defenseless and invaded by China after they kicked the US military out 25 years ago.

The burning question is what will the new mascot look like?

Kawaiiii!

Hey, he could easily be the next prime minister...

The US streets are full of Japanese cars that look nothing like the Japanese models. They're designed for the US market (they come with a huge rear end...) and most are built in the US. The US models are fat, barely fit in a lane and they turned Japanese cars into Chevy's. They even turned Mercedes Benz into Ford SUV's. They look exacly the same, same large rear ends that Americans love.

Oops, I have to go. The Kardasians are on...

You didn't miss anything. It's all been crap for the last decade.

I was watching an old movie on TV the other day in the US. Now, they edit (usually the best parts) out so they can add commercials. They've lowered the rates for TV spots so any business can buy a 30 second spot. They run 20 (20!!) commercials in a row now. That's 10 minutes of commecials for every 10 minutes of edited out movie.

The place has gone nuts. And there hasn't been a decent movie in years.

Let's not forget that this refugee crisis is the result of the US meddling in the middle east. Complain and chastise the cause and not the effect.

The US should be held responsible for the actions that have thrown the middle east into the turmoil of people fleeing terrorists that the US created and supported in the foolish gamesmanship by Secretary of State Clinton to overthrow governments.

Ban people who want to ban what other people do.

Did all of you rush to the conbini on your (insert legal age of where you were then) birthday to stock up on cigarettes and beer?

The issue is valid. If you are considered mature enough to make a voting decision, that should carry over to other decisions. It's not about the choice,it's about the right to choose.

L-O-L-A Lola...
