their annual drills aimed at improving their defense capabilities.

It seems to be every month that there are 'annual drills'.

I notice there are no Japanese male models.

They would all look too short compared to the star!

Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd

Great company name.

Everyone agrees the base on southern Japan’s Okinawa Island should be shut down and moved.

Well obviously not everyone, or this story wouldn't be here.

a man riding a 1300 cc motorbike

If it's such a problem, don't allow big bikes. He should have used a proxy when he uploaded like most people do.

i am tired of reading all this propaganda. He lived a good life and now turns against the people who fed him. Disgusting.

I agree with you.

several other passengers pulled the two men back up onto the platform.

Even though it was obviously their fault, it good to see some people helping out. I once saw a woman fall at Itami while everyone walked to edge of the tracks to watch while I helped her. Lucky there were no trains coming.

I always buy online from USA simply because it's cheap, a much larger range of products and unlike Japan, they have customer service.

Japan is the most discriminatory country I ever lived in.

I have to agree with you there, but I've never lived in the US or Europe so I'm not sure what it's like there.

What civilised country has a population that is so paranoid of its own government that it feels the needs to be allowed to carry guns?

Who is America?

Experts say arresting Israeli agents—or even digging up further evidence that Israel was involved—could be politically costly.

This is where I stopped reading.

I hope they were all carrying the foreigner cards.

So in other words, Toyota lied to the world now a 'cultural difference' is going to save him? I don't think so!

HeyLars Sorry! Not having a go at you. Just using your words as an example. My mistake.

I guess the same could be said about a football umpire or basketball ref. They get to make the same call against the same players. I guess skating is not so big a field that the judge has come into contact with the same people again.

Same Aussie judge who disqualified Kim Dong-sung in the Salt Lake City games also cost South Korea a gold.

Well there is no possible way that the athletes made a mistake so it must be some kind of conspiracy by this judge. It's the only possible explaination, not inlcuding the one of common sense.

Can anyone explain to me why the Japanese whalers go to Antarctica to hunt and not in the Arctic which would be much closer and in theory, cheaper?

They said they would allow American cars to participate in their cash-for-clunkers program but have rigged the rules so that few can.

Welcome to Japan. I do not believe they are discriminating against Americans as such, they discriminate against all things foreign, in my opinion.

No such thing as horizontal bombers.

No such thing as god. The bombs were dropped from horizontal bombers, which then took a radical, 158 degree diving turn away from their flight path.

What focus? This is a completely separate story

I disagree. I feel the other car makers have realized the trouble brewing with Toyota and decided to come clean now. Better late than never.

neglect and abuse

Thanks to the church for the abuse and neglect. And thanks to the Australian government for doing nothing about it and allowing it to continue even as we speak.

I'd love to learn more Japanese if it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to learn it.

I can't critcize them for trying to improve safety.

You are correct but I still believe there is no risk of a terrorist attack in Japan using explosives.

Knowing how prevelant fireworks are in Japan I'll bet the bells and whistles will go off constantly in the summertime.

So true! I don't believe there has been an attack in/on Japan using explosives since 1945. I could be wrong, but I can't find any information about it. Does anyone know?

such as schools, hospitals,

Funnily enough, there will be plenty opposed to banning smoking in these areas. Why? Because the 'gold lining' in their pockets will decrease. What kind of country allows smoking in a hospital?

I hope it was not from whale meat during lunch.

Took the words out of my mouth. But it probably was.

The likelihood of the survival of the blue fin tuna is very low unless action is taken to protect it,

Scientific tuna fishing here we come.

Is this only for Events in Japan?

Yes only Japan. Most other countries are not stuck 200 years in the past.

I can't seem to find this on any of the NZ news websites. That's strange! I'm sure NZ said they would 'support' Australia rather than start legal action of their own.

Yeah GOOD LUCK! It's part of the culture here. Just like they way don't cover their mouth when they cough. Even with the nasty flu outbreaks you would think people would change their unclean habits, but alas, no.

Why isn't this being called a terrorist attack in the media?

Because like you said, in America white can't be called terrorists, unless they convert to Islam that is.
