Posted in: What safety standards do you think nuclear power plants must meet beyond a shadow of a doubt before a restart of their reactors should be considered? See in context

How about making sure that they aren't on the coastline where a tsunami can crash into them.

Would be a good start.

Yes, let's take the last few beautiful green areas of Japan and dig them up and put power plants under and around them.

Great idea!

Posted in: Should the site of the Titanic wreckage be off-limits to everyone -- including explorers, filmmakers, treasure-hunters and so on? See in context

I equate it to someone digging up a graveyard, so yes. Viewing from afar is ok by me. As for actually entering the ship itself I think is disrespectful. You don't see people going inside the USS Arizona memorial looting valuables.

Posted in: NHK apologizes for April Fool's Day Twitter joke See in context

all broadcasters in Japan were to be merged into one giant, state-owned broadcaster and that the news would henceforth be read by a woman in a kimono, in an alarming tone (in an apparent reference to how North Korean newscasters read the news).

Posted in: 3 dead, 306 injured in 33 prefectures by typhoon-strength storm See in context

Out here in the Sea of Japan it's been a crazy. 7+ meter waves super strong gusts. I was actually fearful of a tornado touching down. Wish this storm would go away.

Posted in: How do you feel about being a ‘gaijin’ in Japan? See in context

The only thing that bothers me about being a gaijin in Japan is when I am speaking Japanese to a Japanese person and they keep saying sorry, I don't speak English....

I'm like "I am speaking freaking Japanese to you! Stop being terrified and just listen to what I am actually saying!"

Posted in: Realtors have hard time renting stigmatized properties See in context

There’s a 22.5-square-meter (1K) apartment four minutes on foot from Shiomi station in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, in which a 23-year-old woman was murdered in 2008. The killer, a 33-year-old man, used a saw to dismember her body. The realtor was willing to come down 10,000 yen on the monthly rent to 59,000 yen, with no key money and just one month’s deposit required.

oh my god.. how could anyone ever sleep in that apartment? I wouldn't stay there if it was free!

Yes, we should give them food aid.

@Frank

Granted the avg high school graduate's English ability is sub-par. However, all other subjects are taught quite well. I don't think the entire education system is a failure. Until all university entrance exams test for speaking and listening ability the way English is taught will not change. I also don't see the doom and gloom you are foreshadowing to in the future either. Japan and the Japanese people are incredibly industrious and hard working. They will be just fine.

Posted in: Noda urges all of Japan to help with disposal of tsunami debris See in context

Perhaps the government should have given accurate information post 3/11/2011. If we hadn't been lied to from day one we could perhaps trust the government when they say the debris is non-radioactive. There is no way in hell anyone with any common sense would allow the government to force this debris into other prefectures. Keep the radioactive bonfire in the already contaminated areas instead of infecting the whole of Japan.

Dear Anti-whalers,

A bunch of people are pro-whalers. Go buy a $200 "I support Sea Shepard" bracelet if you are serious.

I'll buy whale.

I'll eat some whale with you ;)
