Someone wrote in...just prior to Hagibis hitting Japan. "That Japan was so "overreacting" in their preparations! After the last two years....BETTER SAFE than SORRY. I tell my friends who come to Japan!!! If they warn you here! Pay attention!!! It might not be so bad....but it very well might be!!!! And flood waters are much much more deadly than 99% of people know!!! The energy water carries is absolutely mind boggling! I learned a lot about them last year!

Nice cover!!! But unfortunately, No!!! doesn't hide the fact that they are hunting them! And I know it is an age old tradition! But it is also an age old tradition of the human race to hunt animals to extinction! Something that we are now doing at a prolific rate! And now with our new technology, we can really wipe them out efficiently!!! We need to evolve!!!!

The true hero in this completely sick case is "that little girl"! May she rest in peace. She took every step to try to save herself even though the consequences of the actions she had taken in the past were absolutely brutal. She kept fighting til the end. Hopefully the powers that BE take up her fight....and put in some meaningful ways for authorities to step in when these situations become dire!

The point is.....don't dehumanize killing!!!! Anymore than it already is! I mean, some pilots being interviewed said it seemed like no more than a video game. But still they had a sense of what they had done.....killing with drones and robots.....removes the human part of it even further! That, in my opinion makes it worse!!!

Oh yeah, and a very good friend of mine works in and out of there....building the literally thousands of storage tanks for radioactive water! I was very concerned about him....but he said his company policy was even stricter than government regulations regarding acceptable radiation levels. They wear the "Geiger" counter thingies! He told me there were days when the radiation levels were far above the acceptable limits. Especially around rivers and water sources.....Thirsty anyone??? So I ask him, So what, do you get the day off? He replied, "No, go to work as usual!" ???????? I couldn't make sense of that...and he just seems to accept it. He does have a couple of really nice new SUV's!

Regarding Japanese law as it pertains to dual citizenship. One politician said it best. “Not really a law, more of a guideline.” My wife looked into it, They use wishy washy terms, that translate into, “might or maybe could, lose Japanese citizenship.”

Naomi’s father stated long ago, that his girls would be raised in the Japanese way, and would consider themselves to be playing for Japan. Even declining offers from the top US training facilities. (Not happy with how they were treated} Look at how Naomi behaves on the court! Says tons about how she was raised. And why she should be playing under Japan. But I hope she embraces her tri-Nationalities. She is part of 3 cultures. Which in her case, shows positive parts of each culture!

Just great! Idols as cute & beautiful as the Japanese idols, next step program in the singing & dancing talents of Blackpink or Girls’ Generation, and you have the ultimate performers! But I think the fans need the controversy, that is what stirs the passions for good or evil! I’m sure that can be programmed too!

That was an article just lately!!!! A) This is not the "Golden Age" for Jpop! They are so completely crushed by the Kpop Monster just to the West! B) The the heck listens to or even buys CD's these days? C) That is how you vote on who it the cutest and most sexy girl. Selling CD's is the only statistical way the AKB48 can compete groups like Blackpink, Redvelvet, Twice, and I didn't even mention BTS. Ouch! They can't compete it talent either!

Yes, it is time for the Americans to stop these other countries from taking advantage of them! Their citizens barely have enough money to buy their narcotics illegal or otherwise, or their guns for home defence. And lets be honest, their military spending money of 674 Billion a year, is shamefully low! It really appears that they have been getting fleeced to the max by their allies!

As for me, I will take my liberal nut jobs, and my non-gun toting law abiding citizens. And feel a whole lot better about going to a rock concert, church, a movie, a night club and even sending my kids to school!

Wow....Trump lied to the American people!!! I stopped counting somewhere after 57 times. But I got to thinking that it really isn't lying if you wave your finger around and say it sincerely! And if you really believe....somewhat to very delusionally, that it is true!

Walter Mitty is correct! Unfortunately, this isn't some old man day dreaming in a worn out sofa.....he sitting in the head of states chair! And blaming the security guard! Come on, well trained police officers are equally as likely to die in an armed confrontation as the assailant! That is a true stat! They are better trained, but out gunned!!! What was the security guard carrying?? Maybe not an AR-15. I think I would take on Roger Federer, if say, you gave him a spatula! And if the stakes were high! Like the loser gets a bullet in the brain! Roger might not even what to play me! Would he be a coward???

And NRA and Trumps stupid fall back line! "It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun!" Been reading too many elementary school books and cheap movie scripts where the Bad Guy is a Bad Guy because they wrote his script for him that way! And character is revealed early in the story! In real life, the bad guy is the guy that starts shooting at the wrong people! And by the time you realize what is happening.....it is too late!!! Oh yeah, and just recently, the Trump government passes some restrictive laws so the FBI can't run background checks on people! So you don't even get to read the character development at the beginning!!

I read an article by an American Police officer about what it felt like, and how many of them were dying, when the "Bad guys" started having better weapons than the police! And the Bad Guy, in this case, was carrying a legal military grade weapon!!!! Wonder what the security guard was carrying? Should have the facts before we call someone a coward!
