BN won't listen to Biden who bank rolls him...he's not going to listen to Kishida

How's about Japan pour all that water around the atolls that China has fortified on areas they have no legal claim to?

"The Chinese and Taiwanese names have since been removed."

as it should be

"In the case of Gaza, this rule requires that before launching an attack, the Israeli military analyze and determine the likely effect on civilians. If it appears that such an attack will cause disproportionate civilian casualties, then it must be suspended or canceled."

Except if the goal of Israel is (as it has consistently been) the elimination of Palestine and the annexation of all Palestinian land.

Structure is a good thing...

Discipline is a good thing.

I don't thing compulsary military service is a bad thing.

I can go in to down-town Ottawa - there's looser junkie's crafting a career of "spare change?" - in CANADA...I lived in the UK...same...

In Japan...people don't beg for change because charity is not part of their culture...

But if you give it to them...they bow in gratitude...I know...cause I've done it...

Sure...they have problems...

How many would have been better served had they served...

I have nothing but admiration for those who serve or have serve in uniform.

Japan has a significant and formidable military.

I think it's a great option for a young person - I wish I was young.

I wish my youngster would choose to do it...

One of my oldest and dearest friends was a US Marine - 23 years.

He has seen combat (ever seen Black-Hawk Down? - he was there)

I truly regret I never served. I was too busy listening to Led-Zeppelin and

majoring in my GF...not much to be proud about all these years later.

Follow the Fox News business model.

let's say you believe in God...let's say you believe the Jews are God's chosen people. what kind of God would have crafted the disaster of the Holocaust...the disaster that is Israel...Palestine...

What kind of God would put Netenyahu in a position of power in such a world...

an eye for an eye

a tooth for a tooth...

there are no innocent eyes or teeth in the eyes of monsters...Hamas & Netwnyahu both...this will be a sad day forever

the reason to sleep with married people is BECAUSE they're married...sex is sex...zero politics...you don't get in trouble because you forgot her mother's birthday...nice day...glass of chilled wine...an afternoon in the sack....sure...you may fall in love...but don't be stupid...there are other married folks out there...

I have 2 passports...Canada & the UK...I have a PR in Japan...my kiddo has a Japanese passport and a Canadian passport...if he has to give up his Canadian passport...so be it...I have never found anything in Japan to be problematic...I have never been ill-treated - even when quite evidently intoxicated - the police were very nice, cordial, and professional...Japan is a sovereign country - entitled to make up whatever rules they wish...we (gaijin) are guests in Japan...behave like a guest...

When I was a kid...I got beaten up alot...I was not a big kid...but I did have a big mouth...hence the frequency of being beaten up...my dad got tired of it and enrolled me in boxing lessons...some time later - I got into a fight with a much bigger guy...and he did kick my ass...but he sure as hell didn't have a good time doing it...loads of people saw the fight...no one ever messed with me again...

There's only one way to stop a bully...and that's to stand up to them...

in Kabukichou? really? I asked a cop for directions to the red light district...

Evidently, Newton said, "if I have seen farther than other men, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants"

"guitar god" is just a colloquialism...but many great "guitar gods" employ a lot of techniques from classical masters - primary & secondary function substitutions, chord inversions...they didn't invent this stuff...they stood on the shoulders of giants...

Santana is - as someone said - instantly recognizable - as is - David Gilmour springs to mind - Eddie Van Halen, etc.

I have seen Carlos twice - once in concert - once on a Viking Line cruise out of Stockholm...we talked for a moment...he was dressed very sharply...I was there with a couple of friends...he took a photo of us...woulda been early 90's...I do not have a photo of him...odd that...

He corrected me on the titles of some of his songs...he said guitarists need to breath...(it was Stockholm...think Yngve)...

He was nice...no super-star attitude at all...

Relocate the base to the Senkakus...who's gonna object?...China?...fill in atolls China on atolls that are not yours...have a nice day...sorted...I'll expect my Nobel prize in the morning...

Nosuke-san...

the Soviets did not liberate the Poles from the nazies

the soviets collaborated with the Polish resitance claiming they would help...but what they did was never liberate anyone...but betrayed the Polish resitance and let them get eliminated my the nazis...

I have relatives who were in the Polish resistance...take it up with them...

russians haven't changed from

the soviets...still a bunch of betraying bastards

junior high-school girls?...really?...how can you perv on junior high-school girls?

I'm guess'n Sven-san hit the post button before re-reading...we'va all done it..:

in 1923 Hitlerwas arrested for attempting a coup...he was imprisioned with fellow nazi R. Hess...during that time...Hitler dictated his "manifesto" to Hess..."Mein Kampf"...(my battle)

in Mein Kampf, Hitler layed out his views...oddly...they were largely ignored...

in 1938 Hitler was Time Magazine's "Man of the Year". (despite subsequent attempt by Time Magazine to re-fashion that statement)

The odd thing is that the nazis were such en-exceptional people...no towering intellects (possibly Speer)...

none of them had brilliant accademic back-grounds...

it was a time in history for morons...Stalin...Mussolini...morons...

what did exist was a core of clever people who the nazis employed...

innovative generals & scientists...Guderian, Messerschmitt...etc.

the wings of the 1st operational jet fighter (Me 262) van be found on the Mig 15 & F-86

The technical accomplishments achieved during the nazi period had nothing to do with the nazis...they were a means to an end...

the nazis were a bunch of morons...there is nothing to glorify

sunfunbun - bang on the money...absolutely 100% agree

Russian air space can be kinda dangerous...just say'n

absolute rock bottom Putin...oh the beaming pride Russians must be feeling today

Taiwan...while I often agree with you...I don't agree that 23e6 people will become slaves if the ccp invades...they will become freedom fighters who can move easily around main-land china...speak the language...look similar...will be well financed and dedicated...massive US intelligence support...they'll make European underground units fighting the nazis look like boy-scouts...

ccp...invade at your own peril...you can't kill democracy unless you kill the democratic people...how may people would you jave to eliminate to take out the ccp?...

surprised Putin is on this side of the grass

what a weird perspective...invade a neighboring country and say it is regretable that Japan is beefing up its defenses...

that's bizzare

"are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"...

lunacy

when living in Europe...I got endless flack about "Imperial" units...one person making fun of me asking "how many unit_x are there in unit_y?, pi? ( pi being an irrational number)...then

one guy asked me how much a gallon of water weighed...I replied that I could work

it out...he replied: you

know how much a liter of water weighs?...a kilogram....that was it for me...metric is way more sensible...

Lived with a girl from Budapest...scientist...interesting conversations...She wasn't born

when soviet tanks rolled through Hungary...the education she had...I though

Lennon was John...

She is ashamed of her country now...

This clique of quasi democratic despots...

She was really cute...

we were younger then...the future seemed so much brighter

apparently the alledged encounter occurred in a hotel. Then I'm sure there is video of he/her entering and leaving the hotel - and I'm sure that video has been observed by the authorities. Perhaps if you are a celebrity you should video the encounter in the room as well.

They (what we now call terrorists). killed British soldiers & called them nazies (i have realatives killed by these terrorist..the British were overwhelmed by the numbers of Jews from Europe...to call the British nazies is extrodinarily offensive to me...they fought the nazies from the get go...they broke enigma...Stalingrad & Kursk would have been completetly different...there would have been way way fewer Jews arriving in Palestine had it not been for the British...and these people treat Palestinians similarly to the way the nazis treated the Jews...unconscientable...

I'm a gaijin who has lived in Japan 20 years. Of course my kiddo is hafu - it doesn't bother me at all that expression - it's an expression. What did bother me was when he was on a rather advanced soccer team there was a sort of discrimination from other kiddos on the team. He was a striker - fast, pretty damned skillful - you'd have preferred he was treated as a player for his skills.

When I was a kid...owing to my father's job...we moved around alot...we were always foreigners...it never bothered me...when lived in the States, my younger sister mentioned how all her friends were different - black, white, Jewish, non-Jewish...All the other kids were in cliques based mostly on social status.

Kids are like that.

How on earth can Trump be elected? - he - as then president - swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution - hasn't he been demonstratively proven to have violated his oath of office?...when - in anyone's memory (if some of you have any memory) has any candidate been indicted 4 times?...he treats the law like a real-estate deal - find ways around it - who was the worst president of the US?...ever - and what crimes have they commited?...how can you possibly swear in someone who can't possibly tell the truth?

disregarding the rather odd previous statement - and the fact that western culture seems to be more inclusive (China telling Asian folks that Asians are Asian..not white)...

Perhaps we (in the west) are a little more open-minded -

Also - we like our democracy -

If you threaten me - you threaten us...as some nazi Chinese guy inferred - we're not Asian and should stick together...we're ideologically aligned - neighbors - inter-married - we're family - my kiddo is 1/2 Japanese

If someone threatens Japan - someone threatens me...

We don't stand for that in NATO - try it - you won't win...

Odd that China is trying to help a peace initiative on the other side of the planet when it's hassling it's neighbors on every border it has - even invented borders on the sea
