“Also, rabies is just like the flu, in fact it is the flu, and only old dogs and dogs with preexisting conditions are in any danger. Pure MSG fearmongering!

Where did you get the idea that rabies is just like the flu? There’s no cure for the disease and once symptoms appear the result is always the death.

Posted in: Kishida pledges to provide Africa with support for food security See in context

Is the PM joking? With the food self sufficiency rate of less than 40 percent, Japan is in no position to care for other countries food security. In the event of food import disruptions or global crop failures, Japan will be the first country to starve.

Posted in: Ukraine-born Miss Japan relinquishes crown after reported affair See in context

The beauty pageant’s organizers attempted to boost the popularity of this outdated event by bringing in new blood but it backfired. What the JT article didn’t mention is the fact that the plastic surgeon she was having an affair with was one of the judges of the contest.

Posted in: Chinese ships warn Japan SDF planes to leave airspace near Senkakus See in context

I don’t understand why Japan has been keeping the disputed islands uninhabited when they could have built a military base there years ago. Think what would happen if some shipwrecked Chinese “fishermen” landed on the islands started living there?

Posted in: Kishida grateful to N Korean leader for quake sympathy message See in context

It’s seems to me that Kishida is trying to use Kim’s message to boost his and LDP’s record low approval ratings, hoping for a breakthrough like a summit meeting with the Dear Leader.

Posted in: 'We don't give a damn about the feelings of Japanese concerning the so-called Northern Territories:' Medvedev See in context

“If Japan didn't surrender on August 15th, 1945, then the present day Russia-Japan border would be somewhere around Fukushima”

A complete total nonsense. At the end of WW2, the Soviet Union had no resources or military capabilities to invade the Northern Territories. The invasion was conducted under full US naval support. They trained a total of 12000 Soviet sailors at a base in Alaska before the invasion. Look up “Project Hula.”

“he has been questioned 16 or 17 times by police during his decade in Japan.”

That works out to 1.6-1.7 times a year on average. Well within an acceptable level of nuisance

You see a lot of Nepalese these days. Many of the newly opened Indian curry shops are actually owned by Nepalese nationals. Their curry tastes good too.

It’s his constitutional right to appeal the district court’s decision. I’ll bet his defense team will go up to the Supreme Court.

She would never have won the title of Miss Ukraine had she stayed and lived in her native country. Next, will we have a Miss Japan from Gaza?

“According to the Japanese Ministry of Justice the average cost for an inmate in a prison is 2179 yen.”

Why don’t you take him in and feed him for the rest of his life?

If SK starts liquidating the Japanese shipbuilder’s assets in Korea, Japan should take retaliatory measures by seizing Korean assets under its jurisdiction. Go ahead Korea,, you’ve made yourself an international pariah.

“But please do it in a timely manner and humanely as possible.”

How is it that young Vietnamese are coming to Japan in droves when they can get better paying jobs in the U.S., Europe or Australia? As for deportation of foreign workers who have gotten pregnant, Singapore has been doing this for decades.

Will foreign bus drivers not have trouble reading Japanese road signs? In most Asian countries they drive on the right side of the road. Accidents will be inevitable and frequent.

Posted in: Japan doubles emergency disaster relief funds to ¥1 tril after New Year's Day quake See in context

No need for tax hikes to cover the cost of rebuilding damaged infrastructure. First use reserve funds, then just issue government bonds. That’s where money comes from.

Posted in: Japan tightens land use rules near 6 U.S. military facilities See in context

The restrictions on land acquisitions are quite reasonable and long overdue. You can’t have Chinese or North Korean nationals buying land next to the JSDF and US bases. They are often agents working for their countries.

It’s a privilege to be an American. You can get away with killing two people by serving less than half of the prison term you were sentenced to. A person of any other nationality, if convicted in the US for the same crime, would have served a full sentence.

There’s almost zero possibility that Matsumoto is going to serve as an Expo ambassador. What remains of Japan’s construction work and labor capacity will be put into reconstruction of Noto peninsula devastated by the New Year’s Day earthquake rather than the Expo nobody wants.
