If it was not so serious why the delay ? This bloke future is looking grim. That boat of his is looking for a buyer very soon. . If he had any sense he should apologise and plead guilty hoping for a smack on the wrist and a quick trip to the airport or spend a decade in a Japanese gaol trying the fight it.

It is call a Constitutional Monarchy. The fairest political system and most sucessfully employed throughout the western world. Constitutional monarchies range from countries such as Liechtenstein, Monaco, Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and Bhutan, where the constitution grants substantial discretionary powers to the sovereign, to countries such as the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Lesotho, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Japan.

The only certainty is defence spending will go up and taxes to cover those increases will go up. Expect an increase in consumption tax to 12 % when the LDP gets re-elected.

Posted in: Which streaming service do you think is the best for movies and TV shows? And with competition so fierce, do you think they can all survive? See in context

I do enjoy good adverts most of which on digital format. I enjoy small content makers that suit my interest. I have no interest movies. But if there is a Japanese any Godzilla playing in cinema I am there. back in the late 50,s early 60s a Japanese series call Zatoichi. If a service could cater for that yeah I would watch it but only for free. I don,t mind paying for anything but not when making Biggies on Adverts. The Murdochs did not get filthy rich from selling News papers.

Just go away and leave Asia alone. We can take care of our own region. Your result since the end second world being nothing but embarrassment for the land of the criminal free. We as a collective can handle China way better than you. We all we seen the results of your managing the Middle East. Again nothing short of terrible. What you are offering is definitely not what the region needs. It needs proper diplomatic compromising, not stand over extortionist tactic for it regional strategies because each country is unique to is own region within Asia. So just leave us alone. No one needs your attacking deathtrap submarines. Anyway Japan make a way superior defensive submarines which will blend in with a diplomatic comprising strategies when adopted and applied.

Posted in: The internet used to be less saturated with misinformation and ads, more user-friendly, and populated by real people. Social media was for connecting with friends and family, not for fueling outrage. What happened? See in context

What about the continuous mis-formation prior to the Internet from Corparate media which went unchallenged. All those years of anti Irish propaganda when the UK were conducting Apartheid. All the mis formation about JFK And RK assassination Mate the list goes on. etc. The Internet at lease challenged lying Governments and force Government to pull their finger out and arrest fifthly bad people. Shawn Diddy, Espsteins, Maxwell without the internet these bottom of the barrel filthy low life would go unchallenged. It gives trusted people a platform like Scott Ridder the UN Weapon inspectors who deny that WMD in Iraq but got lambasted by Corporate Media. No The Internet as been a blessing not a source of mis- information. It has slowed the corporate media mis- information.

Posted in: The ability of people should not be judged by just how old they are. Employers should update their notion of seniors. See in context

I retired from my trade at 49. Then 2 years latter took up work in the hospitality industry here in Japan. Driving client back and forth from the Hakaba ski resorts which lasted for 3 years. I digress in using my ability as a trademans but I really got to learn how to customer service and how to trigger fools. Canadian are the best to trigger which I learn quickly. American were my best customers and their attitude to getting good service I also pick very quickly. Many time I be driving around with a Canadian and an Americans and the wink was pass to the American and I started triggering the Canadians. This always got bigger tips from the American. I learnt that it don't work with Canadian who have very short arms and very long pockets. So this attitude earn a good old triggering many many time over to the enjoyment of the Americans.

Israel does have a policy of apartheid and ethnic cleaning and harmless playful children are not exempt. I wish they were, but to the Occupier, they are little animals bred from bigger animals. When you are condition for 40 , 50 years that these peoples are animals empathy can not be used in the same sentence with dead children.

Posted in: U.S. panel allows Nippon Steel to resubmit buyout review request See in context

Nippon Steel & Japan JFE get 60% of their Metalurgy coal from Australia and are commencing buying 30% of blackwater in QLD. They also get the majority of their iron ore from WA. Anyone with a brain can see that these material are better off get shipped into India where labour costs a very low. Once the agree grace time is up that 2.4 billion new blast furnaces will be mothball and sent to India. The USA Steel can not compete now let alone after the 5 years grace period is up. This penal should push for a few more year grace. But I assume the ball is in Nippon/JFE court. This why for the about face on the sale. Politician have nearly destroy the deal hence the new Penal decision to reopen negotiations.

Aifie I don't think you are realise how significant these exploding devices are. Capuchin hit it on the head with they able to get these thing to explode throught the software that no explosive where implanted. So I would back of the anti semitic talk just in case. I would cool it for a while or until Israel is totally destroy and by their latest action they need to be taken out as quick as possible.

look how the corporate media push their agenda

Former President Donald Trump, Harris' Republican rival for the White House, has said he will block the deal if elected.

was there really a need to slip Harris name into that sentence.

Harris' Republican rival for the White House. this is irrelevant

These politicians are playing with people livelihoods. They, both side know that the best out come is to allow the deal and squeeze Nippon for the best possible deal not to except the takeover will see these worker out of a job before Trump takes office.
