Lots of voting on this topic - a surprising number, over 20, all down-voting any post that suggests that Japan recognise its past and atone. I never knew that JT had so many Japanese nationalist members.

Alternatively, over 20, all down voting any post that suggest Japan apologize and pay restitution... AGAIN.

Maybe it's not "Japanese nationalist members", but instead people who understand that there simply isn't enough "sincere apologies" that would stop this idiocy.

Just watch 笑ってはいけない like everyone else with a pulse

Right? At least, and I don't care how tightly you're wound, you'll get a few good laughs out of it.

Sigh...

He didn't attend because the helo pilot refused the flight due to low visibility. The alternate plan of driving was discarded because it hadn't been planned and the log-jam it causes in area traffic hadn't been coordinated in advance.

Gee, losing the House is now what is considered a "great night" for the GOP just because they didn't also lose the Senate?

Because, in this day of judicial activism, the Senate is where the real gravy is made via judicial nominations and seating. Congress has gave away it's power to legislate and turned it over to activist judges.

Possibly one more SCOTUS (maybe... maybe even more), or just a few more lower court judges, and it won't matter WHO has a majority in the House. Unless, of course, the decide to start... you know... actually "legislating" again instead of posturing.

And Muller, the floor is yours.

Psssh! If had anything damaging to PDT it would have been "leaked" prior to the mid-terms.

Personally speaking it isnt going to make any bit of difference in the long run right now

Makes all the difference in the world. The GOP maintains, and looks like it might even pick up a couple, in the Senate...

... And the Judicial nomination train will keep on chugging along making ALL the difference in the long-run.

I'm talking about the genuine thing, not the twisted monstrosity that passes for Communism in China

Of course... you have an example, just one throughout history, of the "genuine thing" and it's long term success, right?

Please share.

It doesn't confirm any thing, except in your own mind. For every 1 sexual assault you think they are soft on, there are 250 success stories.... but you won't hear about them.

Sure, even 1 is to damn many, but there is no indication that the military is "soft on sex crimes".

Fujisawa? Are you crazy? The traffic sucks most of the time, and in the summer it's taken over by snobby surfer types who think they own the damn place.

If you've got to live in this area, try Hayama. The traffic's not nearly as bad and as the closest station is Zushi, you don't get all the clowns walking about.

The fact that there is even a debate about this shows how far society has fallen.

You might wanna reread what he said, compare it to what you misunderstood, and then offer a correction.

Just saying... He in NO WAY insinuated the article was a slight against Japan, nor did he say Tokyo is "less prepared" Contrary... he insinuated they are MORE prepared.

About the tattoos - there was a gang related murder in a parking lot at the beach last year during the peak summer season

Are they also proposing to ban black hair? People under a certain height? Right handed people?

Everyone with a tat is a yak?

Drag yourself into modern times. The vast majority of people with tat's are NOT gang-related in anyway.

Japan, as well as yourself, really needs to get over this prior to the arrival of olympics.

The Republicans need to put up a black, or Asian woman as their candidate.

Mia Love. Unfortunately, she may not be quite ready yet....

Some of you seem to be taking this one specific part of an overall event WAAYYYY to seriously.

but they waste a lot of time on years-long mysteries that just end up disappointing (Lost being the best example of this

Obviously, you didn't see the ending of Dexter....

So-so? Well... that's about the best he can hope for.

Of course the racist right

And there goes the credibility of the entire post... right there.

Terrible. Terrible.

But, out of a sense of morbid curiosity.... how in the hell do they pick the men?

Must be something wrong with me. I found it to be neither funny nor offensive. I certainly didn't find it "racist".

I'm pretty sure the problem is with those that DO find this to be racist and offensive.

Heck, she's a four-star army general - they can't get rid of her that easily!

So was the guy the offed... right?

Why can't "hafu" embrace their uniqueness in society without demanding society accept and embrace them

In the context of the way you keep using the word "embrace", which isn't even what they are asking for, change "hafu" to "homosexuals", "Blacks", "Gingers", or any other descriptive term and you'll have your answer.

Besides, nobody is asking them to "embrace" anybody. They are asking for acceptance.

Do you go up to someone with brown eyes and treat them differently? How 'bout someone who is taller or shorter than yourself? Left-handed? Right?

What did you do for the planet today?

I picked up a solitary piece of garbage. It was actually a MORE environmentally friendly act than anything Watsons done. He hasn't stopped anything... he hasn't changed anything. He never will because those that he actually needs to get on his side to effect change are disgusted by his pirate tactics.

Someone sounds a bit upset with the Executors....

Kinki kids?

I've never met a doctor with a tattoo in my life. Likewise for attorneys and university professors.

And you know this because when working with you they are wearing nothing, huh?

All men love porn and those who say that they don't are liars or are in serious denial!

That's quite a "kafkaesque" statement right there....

Heisenberg's signature kill is creepy but I wonder

It's not Walt's signature "kill". It his method of disposal AFTER the kill.

Strangerland.... tragically enough the ACA doesn't do one damn thing to reform "Health Care", either the provision of... or the high cost associated with it.

ACA is nothing more than an health INSURANCE program. There was no reform to anything other than some of the regulations guiding WHO can obtain this insurance (pre-existing conditions, etc.).

The cost of health care is still sky high.. and it's the overhead and cost of providing insurance that is the main reason for that. Sure, some people will now have access to health care they didn't before, but only because they are being provided insurance. The continuing high cost of actual CARE will either remain the same and costs will still go up because of the increased overhead to insure those people, or the cost will increase... likely for the same reason coupled with the additional ??? people obtaining that same care (via insurance).

Practioners are starting to accept cash payments at much lower costs than the same treatments paid for via any type of insurance.

The "stupid" people are the ones that keep referring to the ACA as health CARE reform.

Time for the keystone cops to make little flyers and go door to door handing them out. Stuff them in mailboxes.... take them to the senior's homes. Hell... give them the damn NHK people to hand out.

And banks should be a bit more proactive. They don't need to know why someone is drawing funds, but they could CERTAINLY afford to put up some posters. Maybe even have tellers advise older people drawing out any amount over a certain limit.. in a tactful way... that it is odd for the customer to be drawing out that much funds at that age, and to be careful of those "ore, ore" scams.

Maybe they can reduce these things by a few.

I try to be sympathetic. Not all of these older people have access to this type of information when it occurs. They may not be aware there is such a scam. Just because WE technophiles know, doesn't mean some 60 or 70 year old will. Alas... the panic that they endure might very well override any common sense.

ahhhhh giraffe girl. No idea why she is so popular.

This. Post of the day. Maybe the week.

I had one man try to force his way into my house to see if I had a TV and another two, who persistently rang my bell and kicked my door while shouting profanities!

Oh, how I so look forward to one of them trying that at my house.
