perhaps the NPA should screen their recruits better.

'such an issue'

If one has a solar powered charging station then such an issues never arises.

sounds like a dream job. can i go too?

If the Japanese truly adopted a power saving strategy this wouldn't happen. All I see is companies, restaurants, shops, etc. using way too much power. Sometimes I get headaches because the lights in the convenient stores are so bright. Just turning up the AC in the office to 28 degrees in the summer accomplishes nothing. Turn down the AC a few degrees and shut off all the lights and electronic audio announcements everywhere. The grocery stores here are so loud that sometimes it makes my head spin. Non-sense!

it's because they are fake musicians. where is the actual music coming from? it's all recorded. the whole thing is fake. it's sad and inauthentic.

PM Noda, 'NO!'

i'm rooting for the penguin too.

Makes me sick when I see whale meat for sale in the local grocery stores. Whales are killed in the name of research and then their meat is sold for a profit to the public. So many contradictions there it makes my head spin. Fight on Sea Shepherd! Stop the slaughter!

why would anyone want 12 dogs in the first place? isn't one or two enough?

Rush Limbaugh is just an idiot with an audience.

It's called bribery.

more sad news. Only 12 years old! Poor girl. in the states suicide is illegal.

Meddling kids!

we're killing the planet.

No surprises here...most politicians are just idiots on a power trip.

'...part of one's culture,....'

Close the loophole and everybody go home. Leave the poor whales alone. And yes, while you're at it, leave all the chemically force-fed chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows alone too. Oh, yeah, leave all the tuna alone for at least 100 years and any and all sea creatures that we have overfished. Sushi is a non-sustainable form of nutrition consumption. And I don't care if people say because it is a part of one's cultural, then it's acceptable. Eating whale is just plain wrong and the meat is filled with poisons. Tradition and culture do not necessarily mean that something is right. That is something many Japanese will never understand. It's called provincialism. Look it up.

Forget about giving all that to the EU & the IMF, they created all those problems. There shouldn't be a Euro in the first place, those currencies should have never changed. Instead, put that money towards Japan's debt and towards green energy projects. There's just no way the Mandarins in Tokyo will ever really care about the real issues in Japan.

As with so many other problems in Japan, such as unemployed manual laborers, wasting taxpayer money, now the problem of radiation is being solved by pouring cement. How sad.

I guess there aren't any soup kitchens or places to go for free meals in Japan. Quite sad. Sounds like a horrible way to die.

Oh, great. I thought that Hulu was blocked in Japan. BBC is great.

Yes, go green, Japan and the world. It's about time.

cards are a form of gambling too. i wonder how many poker circles there are in Japan.

Nice. I like stuff like new bridges. What an amazing infrastructure Japan has.

Does anyone think the China Syndrome will occur in Fukushima? If that has happened/will happen, then it's truly all over. What a nightmare.

Lost?

Another case of the blind leading the blind.

bring in the robots.

Shut down all the nuclear plants and just learn to live with less.
