It was a delight to watch the Women's Football World Cup. I think they are equally good when compared to men's football. Many of them were kicking the ball beyond half of the ground easily.

It is a gross violation of human rights. Even the statement of the Afghani government itself is demeaning. ."women are provided with a 'comfortable and prosperous life' in Afghanistan" this statement shows the women are being "provided" but are not allowed to live and provide for themselves. By shutting them from schools and putting them in prison like homes or in burqas when outside (that too only with a male assort) they can claim to have "given" the women what they need! It is just a mockery of 21st century ethics.

It is interesting development though it also has risks if they depend on nuclear power generation.

Kings and queens in 21st century! These so called royals should be ashamed of themselves as their familiies have been the cause of misery all over the world. Right now their role in the society is just of a burden. They don't contribute in any way other obstructing public's normal day to day activities. They also suck u our tax dollars/pounds without even doing anything. Shame on their royalness!

This stupidity is world over, but I did not expect this from a cultured nation like Japan who set an example where ever they go. I still remember about clean stadium news after football matches in Brazil world cup. How could you do such horrible stuff to your own ladies? I know the young armymen anywhere are desperate for sex, but forcing your wishes on somebody is not even going to be enjoyed by the perpetrators themselves. Please, start a programme in their training for teaching that rules for sexual advancement in the army are no different than outside society.

What are USA forces doing in Japan? Why are they supposed to defend Japan/Nippon? Why can't Japanese defend their country themselves? I have always been awe struck with Japanese contributions to the world. Even illiterate Indian people used to know Japan as some sort of a shining jewel in the world. Still we are having exceptional developments coming out from Japanese. Then why defence is not in their own hands? It is really apalling and upsetting.
