Posted in: A Japanese woman’s experience giving birth in U.S. See in context
jerseyboy, read the article :
"when a woman in Japan gives birth, she receives a special childbirth allowance of 420,000 yen"
That pretty much covered everything for my 2 kids.<
Exactly kickboard; I was about to write this one. Sometimes they tend to ignore the part that shows the benefits of Japan.

Please drive very carefully during bad weather conditions. It is a common sense to drive even slower during fog and icy roads.

Agree with kwatt. It's relatively, by far, safe in Tokyo. Even when we walk back home at around midnight we don't feel any danger at all. Crimes are inevitable per country, or per city, but what I always experience in Tokyo, and most of Japan, is it's relatively safe.

Posted in: Do you agree with the Japanese government's decision to provide $200 million in non-military humanitarian aid for those displaced by conflict in the Middle East? See in context
Yes, ,of course. Any nation who feels the need on helping other nation must do. There's nothing wrong with that. Only stupid persons who think that "It's Japan who provoked ISIS. They should not help the middle east" are stupid because they always look negatively on what Japan is doing. Haters gonna hate! Besides, it's terrorism the whole world is up against, should we freeze and be kept silent? It's what terrorism aims for. And unless every nation stood against it, it will prevail. So yes, any nation with the capacity to give humanitarian aid should do.

In despite of this tragedy, stupid people are giving thoughtless comments and pointing fingers other than to ISIS. No one is to blame but IS, not even Abe for giving humanitarian aid in the Middle East. Every country can do that. But no one should kill for the sake of extreme adherence to own beliefs and to scare people who wants to help a race. Gets?

Shame on the SK. Freedom of the press, anyone? It's obviously a political strategy of Park to draw her the attention and support of the korean people by indicting a Japanese reporter. Why on earth didn't she indict Chosun Ilbo for what they FIRST wrote? SHAMELESS to say Calm down when they should be the ones to calm down for UNFORGIVENESS. a nation living in the past.

There you go, he said he is "sorry that some media reported it." Could it be that if it wasn't reported, he wouldn't be sorry for saying it? Besides, he said he is sorry because it was reported, not that sorry because it came from his mouth.
