It is reassuring atleast to see some opposition in Japanese to the presence and activities of these foreign forces over there in their country.

Everything seems OK, except one! Why only the selected through tests are allowed to go for higher studies? This is happening all over the world, but it is against the common populace who want to study but are thwarted due to these artificially created boundaries/levels by so-called intellectuals and policy makers.

Congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo for his successful efforts to attract the people's attention towards the dangers of the nuclear weapons. However, I don't understand one thing about Japan, why Japan is still having US army there in their country when they are the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons against innocents and that too against the innocent Japanese? Shut them out from there to show real anger & remorse for those actions of theirs.

I don't get one thing yet, why Japan/Nippon would allow US bases in its country when they are the ones who destroyed your Hiroshima & Nagasaki with their nuclear arsenal? I don't think intelligent Japanies are with the dumb decision makers on this. Japan has been leading the world in Science, Technology and general wisdom as far as I understand; but what is this bowing to the "bully" of the world? Why? Can someone answer this question please?

Posted in: Record number of women win seats in Japan election See in context
It is a surprise that Japani women are either not interested or not allowed in politics that much. This "Record number" is just 16%. One thing which I assume is if women are not there in the decision makers (Diet/parliament) equally, they cannot expect enough of concern for them in the governmental decisions.

Lidia Thorpe is right in her comments. The so called ROYALS in the 21st century doesn't make any sense. These "royals" should be ashamed of themselves too as they have zero contribution to the society and still survive as social-parasites.

This should be alright if it is decided by the wildlife conservationists, as they would weigh the pros & cons of culling the overpopulation of the deer in the area. Where natural predation is not doing its job, we have to take care of the situation. This is for the good of the deer poplution in future there.

US reaction is to provoke othes to continue their own production of nuclear weapons that too by the Multinational corporations' lobby. They suck on American public money and give it to the these ammunition making corporations and then use it for creating terrorism & faking to control it exercises. Thus WTO and their ammunition lobby's business keeps up their boom. Public is kept in lull by religious stuff and life problems duly created by their long term plans.
