Where I live developers wanted to build some homes but because of environmental concerns and the fight over where to locate Kangaroo rats that are near extinction held up the entire building permit for 10 years. The city and county spent 10 Million dollars on road improvements before any development could start. I blame the environmentalist.

The logic is the same! Women are having children because it is too expensive to have children. Students are pursuing higher education because the cost is too expensive. Why have a baby if you can't raise a baby, whey go to a university when you will have huge loans that you can't afford or struggle your entire life to pay back on measly wages. Universities have empty seats because the Japanese students can't afford the tuition, the Japanese government know this but refuse to act upon making the universities more accessible for the people but it is also a drawn on immigration in the name of educational talent.

Posted in: In Germany, the far right is on the rise again. How did it happen? See in context

This is nothing but History repeating itself. If you look at history "HIS-TORY) the real story is never told. It's swept under the rug, re-written and forgotten only to come back in a different form but logically the same. Man has always traveled and upon their travels they conquered land, and the land they took over, or settled in amongst the people they wanted or tried to change the culture and force those to accept what they thought was the right way. In this case immigration coming to a new country does the same. They form their own small communities with in and eventually they spread, people come from all walks of life, different cultures and values, and with that everyone thinks their culture is right. The problem is man just can't get along, and never will.

What a bone head manager. It took advantage of his title "Convenience manager" his mindset told him he could do anything at his convenience that included pretending to pick things off the floor under the disguise as a store manager and filming filming up a skirt of a customer. I guess he now realizes that is a product that is not on the shelf!!

@HopeSpringsEternal WRONG!! Lil Kim is pleased that he has a buyer to buy the crap that works less than 35% of the time. Ask the Russians in the field using the weapons, articles sent home to other Russians say half the ammo they fire are duds. When it does explode they cheer!

Pres. Kim must be please his rocket technology has surpassed Japan in recent times, NK busy testing and busy selling their weapons to Russia and others.

If you really want to know the reasons why African Americans are playing baseball. The quickest way to the money is football or basketball. When an 18 year old kid is projected to be a star athlete in a sport he is either a #1-30 first round draft pick. There's over 20 round in the past almost over 100. Looking at the number of teams and players selected the lower your draft order the less money you are paid. A first round draft pick a kid lets say 18 years old can get anywhere from a guaranteed $10,000,000 plus signing bonus now if you are below the 6th round the money gets considerably less, worst case a $500 signing bonus and a monthly salary of less than $950 depending on what level you are playing on where you make less than $10,000 a season. The major leagues has 4 levels of baseball, you have Class A where there is a rookie league then you have Middle Class A and then, there one Class AA team and 1 Class AAA., then of course there's the majors. Now think about how many players get drafter and look at the number of Class levels you have to get to. The competition is tough and players get released quickly or give up!!! Its a hard dream. There's more to this being a professional baseball scout I could write more but, as you can see the reasons why African Americans don't play baseball is not because they can't compete its because when you are 18 years old coming out of high school you can go to college for 1 year play your desired sport and declare for the draft in basketball but not football or baseball. Basketball is the quickest way to the money at 18 years old for football they say a kids body is not fully developed for the physical style of play for professional football therefore they can't declare for the draft until after 3 years of college and baseball is the same, but in baseball at 21-22 years old you have a time line if you are not up by 26 you are pretty much on the decline. A kid coming out of college playing football is already making millions. Baseball is the hardest and most competitive to get to the big leagues this is why the African American kids chose football and basketball over baseball. Besides football you play about 14 games a years including preseason, baseball and basketball has the longest seasons. Baseball starts in early February spring training and can last until October if your team makes the play offs. Basketball starts summer league and can end in late May or longer. Long story short Baseball the salaries are guaranteed but it is the hardest and the longest time consuming career. Football and basketball is the quickest to the money and this is why African Americans chose football and basketball over baseball!

@Antiquesaving what a lame excuse!!! Its ok to point out someone of an ethnic minority and then say "I don't really care what she calls herself, I just find it funny that a black woman from Africa can take an ethnic Japanese name but if white person anywhere did this other than through marriage it woul be unacceptable! Have you ever thought that a "WHITE PERSON" can go anywhere on the planet and not be considered a "minority" and fit in like a missing puzzle piece BUT if you take any other "minority" asian, black, hispanic or whatever and try to fit them into that puzzle they would not fit. So what makes you think that your name can't be Johnny Appleseed or Kunta!!!

quite normal that artists have some unusual stage names, and having a Japanese name sounds cool to me.

Would you say that if she was a French person not from an ethnic minority?

I don't really care what she calls herself, I just find it funny that a black woman from Africa can take an ethnic Japanese name but if white person anywhere did this other than through marriage it woul be unacceptable!

@Philosopher's Stone that is a matter of opinion whether she represents France or not but who are you to question her name? A blind person can't see color. I am assuming you are blind for making such a racist statement.

Well, she definitely doesn't represent France. And why the hell does she even carry a Japanese name?

The way of the world as we live it today. It seems when a person does the "RIGHT THING" they get punished or frowned upon, but when a person does the "WRONG THING" they get reward and their deeds are looked at as if its ok there is no harm or foul. This is where people are starting to scratch their heads because the actions are so plain to see and people are getting the answers for something they justly see all they get is excuses, or blanket statements that doesn't answer the questions. Like in the article written.

Posted in: More Chinese women choosing to stay single as economy stutters See in context

@Baradzed Good point! If the CCP is in control and they find this a big problem they can change the laws to make it very hard on single women where as if everything that they are enjoying now they will use it against them as a penalty to get them to give into their demands for change. Just as they forced the society with the 1 child only rule which they now see has back fired.

I don’t think it will be a big issue in communist China. CCP can easily force women to have minimum 2-3 kids the same way they forced them to have at most one in the recent past.

@GillislowTier He went back because he was a thief, and more than likely he would have stolen again because he got away the first time. He shouldn't have stolen ANYTHING in the first place.!!

why would you go back? You got away with it. Was it for the thrill?

This was funny conducting a psychiatric evaluation on another psychiatrist. Sounds like you have a nutty professor with an experiment going wrong, how would one know what is going on in both of their minds during the evaluation especially if they studied the same field one could play off the other. Ex. Light on Light off

After conducting psychiatric evaluations on the three suspects for six months through Feb. 28, the Sapporo prosecutors concluded they could be held criminally responsible for their actions.

The Zoo collects and entry fee to enjoy the parks and see the animals. Is this the same logic to make money? If Japan starts this fee other countries should reciprocate Japanese tourist entering their countries.

@Gaijinjland NK has lied so much, there is no way anyone could believe anything coming from that country that makes it so hard to believe even if it was the truth!

Maybe Pyongyang was actually telling the truth that they have all died already? I don’t think people over there have a very long life expectancy anyway as sad as it is.

Posted in: Japan sees China's military buildup as serious concern See in context

If Japan does not build up its military, they will end up being water cannoned or worse by China, a good example is the way China treats the Philippines. They fire water cannons at them because they know they are stronger and can't do anything about it. If the Philippines didn't have other countries protections China would perhaps take them over.

@garypen as the snow falls heavy and the train is moving very fast it creates an illusion that pretty much hypnotizes them. It creates a merrygo round effect.

WOW what a statement "Baseball superstar Ohtani announces marriage to Japanese woman" Why not print "Ohtani gets married"? Why make such a statement to sound as if he had married any other women the entire country would have been disappointed. I guess this is a big sigh of relief. OK the country can now rest he married a "JAPANESE WOMEN".

Why by a cardboard box that goes down in value the older it gets? After 30 years you get a choice of picking a unit after the developer purchase the land and agrees with the HOA and then the tenants have to jockey with the developer for their choice of a block of units set aside after the rebuild.

Posted in: New visa rules to allow more foreign students to find jobs in Japan See in context

My take on this is not only Japan trying to increase the number of foreign students working and living in Japan but also the birth rate. Subliminally this is nothing but immigration turning to increase the birth rate population because once you have foreigners living and working in a country they will also populate it.

Posted in: Baseball superstar Ohtani announces marriage to Japanese woman See in context

Ohtani is very quiet, very private and very consistent in the way he goes about doing things. I would tend to agree with one poster here. The lady of his life I would think would be someone from home town possibly a high school sweetheart who he has known for a long time. Congratulations to Ohtani and his wife and Decoy!! At least when he is on the road she will have some company!!
