Nippon Steel should stop thinking in terms of profit, dumping cheap Chinese made steel from its steelworks in China to the US, and start thinking more in security terms.

Mr Mario Marazziti should better go to South America, where they want to reintroduce the death penalty. The number of assassinations has gone through the roof since they abolished the death penalty.

Posted in: Nagasaki mayor says Israel not invited to A-bomb peace ceremony See in context
It is a wrong decision not to invite Israel, the victim of a terrible terrorist attack. Israel is still trying to rescue its citizens taken hostage by Hamas since the first day of the attack in October last year. Hamas should liberate the Israelis hostages and stop using the innocent Palestinians people as human shields.

Posted in: At least 39 people killed in Israeli strikes across northern Gaza, officials say See in context
Hamas must also be included in the condemnation for all the innocent people being killed in this brutal war. They knew all this will happen when they started their terrorist attack, but they just didn't care. They must release unharmed all the hostages they took before starting any peace negotiations.

No problem for China to start claiming property of the island. They will throw some old shipwrecks and ceramics around Minamitori Island and then start harassing the ocupiers.

I think this an adequate step in the right direction, which also guaranties a minimum level of quality to learners of the Japanese language. I am also happy with the recent adoption of the Hepburn pronunciation method.

It's a pity that the country that led the world in computers (Colossus) and had so brilliant people in programming (Alan Turing) has now to rely in a company that followed and copied the computer organization and software from IBM. Fujitsu had to pay more than 200 million dollars to IBM for copyright infringements in 1988.
