Potsu comments

"It will continue, until the refugees in Palastine learn."

Learn what ?????????

"... expressing opinions and ideas to help the rebuilding effort."

Yes,that will REALLY help,bunch of crap,what is needed is tho cut the red tape and get the bureaucrats out of the way to let needed drugs and food through.

Most dangerous people in Japan...family members...weird country.

What is it with the Japanese standing in line 50 deep just to get a mouthful of cheap chocolate or a cracker!? Wish Costco would stop the samples then the the human traffic might flow a bit better...

What a waste of money.

Sounds like half of it is just made up...bet he was stuck in some crappy 6jo room for most of the time. "He also traveled four times to a tiny island off Okinawa, where he stayed in an abandoned hut, living on fruit and fish he caught and sometimes snakes - a hideout that has never been reported" Yeah right...bunch of bs to sell the book more like it.

"Potsu, I read it is straight out of his comment that dolphins should not be eaten."

Obviously,what's that got do with it ??? So you don't him personally and really don't know. "His intolerance and lack of respect for cultural diversity is the source of this problem." Bizarre stuff bro.

"His intolerance and lack of respect for cultural diversity is the source of this problem."

Geez,how do you know all this stuff ??? Do you know him personally ?

How naive...why WOULD you be shocked ?

Pathetic.

Who is she ?

"What's creepy is how most of the posters have no problem with the content of this article... Shouldn't it say something about where to see the best looking men as well? I know plenty of westerners are ready to criticise Japan's slow gender progress, but they turn around and admit to their perving here, even if they aren't dumb enough to shoot photos "

Good call.

Russel Crowe and Japan,what a mismatch...

Haha...comedy headline of the day.

Japanese culture to play the victim card...Yokota's,Hiroshima,whaling etc.Bit sad...

"For me, true luxury is the ability to circulate in a crowded city with ease and lack of fear"

That's true luxury ? Musn't have had much of life before coming here...

"It's not like we have bikini girl nights at the local pub..."

Haha,just slightly different enviroments and circumstances....but anyway,classy stuff as usual from Japan.

Molenir: "lol, Chinese need to grow up."

Haha,yeah,but not Japan...isn't distorting facts a cultural thing here ?

Tacky Japanese culture aside....is that the best they could come up with ??

How very Japan,no public invovlement.

Japan actually has an enviroment Minister ???

"It’s easy to compare Japan to England—both countries are conservative, aloof, pale and full of starch and carbs—"

Lol,so true.

6-7 % return isn't that great unless there's going to be a big rise in the value of the property,which doesn't happen here very often.You can get over 7 % in a simple term deposit these days....no agent fees,land taxes,maintainence costs etc.Real Estate in Japan is a bad,bad investment if you are just interested in capital return.

"Animal welfare legislation in Japan states that mistreatment of a pet may result in the imposition of a fine of up to 500000 yen."

In Japan ?? Lol,yeah right...

Poor guy,probably better off being a gangster....

Japan has already lost face...give it up or the big boy will smack you.

Sounds hard to believe,wonder how many were in the survey,which companies,age groups etc ?? My company has the opposite problem,none of our Japanese posted overseas wants to come home !! Vague article and figures at best.

Yuck.

Star of what ?

"The parents will never recover from it."

Somehow I wonder...
