Yep, Suga knows where his fuwa fuwa bread is buttered and couldn't wait to congrat him. If you read past the Dem's rhetoric (covid, racism, misogyny, etc etc) Joey and Kammy may be elected because they, especially him, are highly malleable to the changing of America from its core values to a socialist state. Sad day for the U.S. In loving memory of the values and principles that used to make the U.S. great.

"Shina" not Chuka.

Make a fool of me once, you're bad. Make a fool of me twice, my bad.

WHO, who should be primarily focused on people's health, lost credibility when they played China's game. So, WHO may have initially fooled a lot of folks, but - I - won't believe anything they have to say ref: covid-19.

Mickelicious, aka Taylor Swift. Money can be tight during these times. Pls let me know if I can send you some. Best, Tom Cruise

Keep the Olympics, the Olympics. (Yes, I realize they're not the Olympics of yesteryear, but introducing more, and in the case of racial protests at the Olympics .. a negative, in no way improves them nor the lives of the majority of viewers and other participants. At best, a minute number of same feel some justification of their racial viewpoint and that overtakes their interest, if there ever was any, in the Olympic spirit and games involved.) Just as I strongly and firmly believe in my own opinion, I equally believe in the right of others to theirs. But, create your own venue and don't disparage the experience of the majority of viewers and athletes who want the Olympics to just be the Olympics.

Ditto Hawkeye.

Ito-sensei has drunk the koolaid and is now peppering the media/populace with conjecture and fear mongering (pilots out of control; crashing; etc.). It's ok; he's allowed his opinion, but I think it's reckless to make unproven accusations.

Pelosi is doing her best to not let a deal pass before the election. Never mind that a deal based on stimulus would benefit those working for a living, it would look bad for the Dems, and -that's- what it's about. Plus, how can the Dems consider the inflated bill they're asking for, which includes items having nothing to do with stimulating the economy?

"past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior."

So . . . we're headed, if Joe wins, for 4 years of his not having an original thought, being at the beck and call of liberal socialists, and smelling young girls' hair. Further, Xi and Putin will make mincemeat of him.

Revoke his teaching license/certificate and prosecute the vandalism charge. Childish only begins to describe him, 'cuz if he takes out his inability to get along with other teachers on kids, his misplaced anger makes him dangerous.

This is clearly a case of the doctors putting their names on a patient's karute (med. chart), but not taking an active enough role is his/her care. Negligence, and they should be prosecuted.

I found Japanese medical care to be haphazard; sometimes it was spot on, other times, the 'doctor' had no clue, though this appears to be true elsewhere, as well.

And this makes the news because why . . . ?

The electoral college is a foundational pillar of democratic principles established by the states in a republic, as in the -united states-. It ensures, to the degree possible, that there is a fairness of equal say in government by a wide spectrum citizens; thus, an election is not decided by states with dense populations nor by city states, such as Atlanta, Ga, Chicago, il, and NYC, NY with politic-centric views, be they left or right.

W --- E --- I --- R --- D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did Japan (along with most if not all countries) do wrongs during WWII? Yes.

But, soap operas have nothing on this story . . . the never-ending story of no apology nor amount of $$$ will be enough. All SK has to do is parade another victim in a wheelchair out and the tragedy play begins anew.

While that's sad, what is amusing is reading the lunatic fringe comments by some. Makes my day. Thanks for the sad laugh CitizenSmith, Luddite, Peter14, and Richard Gallager.

His lawyer lamely explains why he shoved the officer... like what? It's Ok?

The judge should have been charged with obstructing the duties of a police officer and spent a night in jail. Anybody else, and they'd have been arrested and charged. Ditto HonestDictator.

Ditto Towingtheline. My wife and I are both areligious, but I told her that if I were to pass away in Japan, do not change my name. 'Tis what it "tis and a name change (Read: ¥¥¥¥¥) t'ain't gonna change nothin'.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee just lost what little, if any, credibility it had left. Ditto all above who said the prize awarded to the WFP should be for Humanitarianism. Duh ...

Yep, another reason not to watch the Olympics, whose time has passed anyway. Yawn ~~~

Odd .. the Japanese law/police approach to such cases. I went shopping at a supermarket one evening with parking in front of the store. Saw a baby and a toddler in the car next to mine; no parent(s) in sight. Went to report it to the koban across the street, only to be told there's no crime unless something happens to the kids. ??? Nothing like closing the barn door after the horses have gotten out.

Marijuana may or may not be "worse than tobacco or alcohol", depends on what you're measuring and what the outcomes are. It very often is a gateway drug.

Effect of using marijuana: it takes you 10 seconds longer to respond to, "Hey, stupid," but then, the same can be said about heavy drinkers...

When using marijuana, it takes you 10 seconds longer to respond to "Hey, stupid."

I wish companies in the States were as creative as those in Japan.

Sesame seeds on doughnuts? Yuck ..

IOC = Idiots on Covid

News reports on an issue like this should use the term "biological mother" for subhumans like this one. She is no mother in the traditional sense.

I definitely favor "an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth."

Ditto Dan. Concrete jungle and . . . where's the sunset? goofy picture.

Only lived in Fukuoka for 2 years, but have been there and other spots in northern Kyushu many times. Agree, I'd take Kyushu over Tokyo any time. Food? No comparison; Kyushu is waaay better.

How I wish I could be back in Japan, where desserts, drinks, kakigori, etc makers all try out different flavors. Here in the States, it's rather boring, as the different companies stick to their tried-and-true stuff, with little variation. Seems like these matcha desserts are currently only in Kyoto, but if you're looking for something similarly delicious, go to First Kitchen and get their matcha kintoki float. Ymmmmm

Maybe he should have taken his extra-large speakers in with a monster woofer and brought down the terribly designed Harajuku station.
