It’s disgusting to jail a whistleblower. What a barbaric decision.

It is gross. If the wrestlers were women, it would make slightly better sense.

They must be very poor. It sounds like there is no social service to help people in serious needs. That’s why so many people are suiciding.

police doesn’t have fault. They were doing their job. It’s the lack of social services causing suicides.

He should be rewarded for showing the weaknesses. Now the navy has a chance to take necessary precautions to prevent an ill intended person to do the same.

Nikol Pashinyan sounds like a good person doing the right thing. Thousands being against him is not many given Armenian population . It would be the best for both Armenians and Azeri to make peace with each other, and focus on economic and scientific cooperation.

China has always been one of the most peaceful countries in the world. If they improve their human right affairs and free speech, China can be a great country. Other countries should improve their friendship and trade with China. Hungary is setting a good example.

He accused the West of “fueling regional conflicts, inter-ethnic and inter-religious strife and trying to contain sovereign and independent centers of global development.”

It’s unfortunate to say that Putin is stating the obvious facts.

Hamas is an elected legitimate government for Palestine. The terrorists are the ones slaughtering innocent people. US and Europe are supplying weapons to terrorists all around the world.

US soldiers should know that Russia isn’t Japan and they can’t freely do anything they want outside the law.

There is no war. War happens between armies. This is a slaughter, the worst genocide in human history.

He sounds like mentally sick. The boy had been participating in a program for young people at risk of radicalization, Blanch added. It doesn’t make any sense for a 16yo registered in a program and attack around for religious reasons. This is mental sickness.

I hope the injured person recovers fully soon.

It’s really good to see collaboration in Asian country. I would think the frequency and intensity of the natural disasters are expected to increase in the future. All the Asian nations need collaboration and help each other at the times of disasters.

These children must be brainwashed. They need to be re-focused to education and should focus on studying instead of attaching people around.

It looks like Iran and Iraq have many plastic toy rockets that give no harm to anyone.

US and Israel are the same country. They are equally responsible of the murder. It didn’t sanction itself. Only Turkey put sanctions but i would it’s trade with Israel isn’t significant anyway. Europe is also giving full support for the murder of innocent people.

Law must apply the same for everyone regardless of ethnicity. It sound like the right decision.

I often use hygienist in japan, they are substantially better than those in US and Australia. EU dentist are terrible, no need for comparison. In England, they cleaned only single tooth and charging 800 pound. I had a fight with dentist.

in Australia, they try to clean under gum meat every so often and i always had problem. It was a horrible thing done just to get money. It costs over $1000. Since i move to japan, i have never had any problem. Just a simple hygienist cleaning once in 6 month was enough, costing less than 100 Japanese dollar (100yen is kind of a dollar).

Thank You Japanese Dentists.

US debt is not important since they can print money without any impact on inflation and interest rates. Other countries cannot print significant money without its side effects.

Wasn’t the secondhand shop owner not arrested for buying stolen item? Given the price, it’s obvious that it was stolen item.

EU behaviour is absolutely disgusting. They allow genocide and slaughtering of children but they are condemning a passive defence of Iran against it’s embassy. Humanity is dead. Purely, religious based action approving killing people who don’t believe in Christianity or old Christianity.

Was there a wrong behaviour of the driver? I would imagine the self guilt feeling of the young man is a life long heavy punishment if he was a good person. Unfortunately, accidents can happen especially in Japan with extremely poor, substandard roads.

In theory, nobody should ever over speed as it can result in such a sad tragedy, although the fact is that everyone in their lives must have exceeded road’s speed limits at sometime. I hope this is taken as a good lesson for all not to speed especially in residential areas. I am guessing speed was one of the factors in this tragedy.

Title is misleading. It should be the opposite. US is escalating war around the world by providing a lot of weapons to tiny countries and also dictators in other countries.

By the way, my comment was based on what i read in yahoo.com.au news.

They suspect he must have mental disorder since police didn’t find any motives. It’s not like he was getting treatment of mental disorder. I suppose you can say this for anyone who would try to do such a horrible action.

Those who wanted to know about the murderer’s religion, he was a Christian. Gaza was not his motive.

Unfortunately there are few psychopaths in Australia too.

Population is too dense for japan. It should be reduced below 80 millions considering the land area.

4.9% increase is not much almost the same, but if it has been increasing the similar rate in past 7 years, it’s concerning.

is there a stats on what percent of it done by men against women before assuming 100%?

@kaimicahl

women in Japan prefers to stand behind the men so that they can grab the wallet, empty it and put it back in men’s back pockets. Men accepts it also, so there is no theft, all voluntary actions.

Russia’s international policy has been extremely poor so far and not in good interest of Russian people. Taking entire world as a target is stupid. The only allies Russia has is China and North Korea, not the best allies you would want to have.

i think that Russian people are good people. I feel sorry for them having poor governments regularly.

The toilets in train stations in japan are probably the worst public toilets in the country, However, they are very compatible with the best public toilets in US and EU. Public toilets in Europe are really disgusting .
