Row Bur comments

Yes. Turnbull and his ilk are traitors to humanity. Wilfully condemning us all for personal profit. His grandchildren will die like the rest of us.

They keep street crime way down...but are criminals nontheless....still, I`d rather Yaks to bikers,russians and American gangs..

Anyone remember what happened to non Japanese residents of Japan and associated territories? Losing property was not the issue, torture,slave labour,experimentation and murder were the issues. Just saying, different times, different values.

As soon as other countries can prove contamination, the Japanese courts may well be the least of their worries.

Nothing unusual about a young man seeking war , he has every right to choose his life and possible death.

Children all over the developed world are killing themselves through drugs,risky driving,violence ,gang activity and ennui.There is no meaning beyond financial gain, no future worth striving for in many societies. The way has been lost, youth need ideals, not platitudes and lies. Adults used to be respected, and worth respecting for the most part.

All nations have sent soldiers on missions deemed "suicide missions". The allies put a bomb on a ship and rammed u boat stations, the entire crew knew it was a suicide mission. The German Sonder Kommand Elbe rammed bombers with their fighters, US sherman tanks were put in groups in three because two would be destroyed while the third circled behind Tiger tanks. Kamikaze were a product of their time, brave kids, victims of greed.

The Zionist Jews have no real claim to the land. It`s not theirs. They are occupiers who hide behind the corpses of the Shoa. Shameful.

Judging from some of the comments here, there are plenty more violence obsessed psychos here in Japan. The glee with which you dream up torturous "punishments" is horrifying. Look in the mirror before you post such vileness,

Headline not enough of a hint?

no, thats not more important. Justice should be blind to these "extenuating circumstances", ie: losing a well paid job. Thats not supposed to be considered. but, as usual, play the game,avoid the blame....

Those advocating beheading should grow up or join Al Quada. He hasn't't been convicted yet, and do you think behaving like a savage serves any real purpose? Juvenile at best.

Oh no, a bunch of millionaires lost one in an endless series of meaningless games. Large deal.

Considering the corruption, theft, loss of sovereignty, discrimination,waste and twisting of legal principles involved in staging this disgrace, I think the finger should point the other way.

Perhaps the authorities should focus on the white,crystalline plant derivative that is the scourge of contemporary children and adults,resulting in millions of deaths and ruined lives every year. But then again, sugar is legal, so that`s ok..........

funny how high end hotels and the like have recently admitted falsely labeling processed beef as wagyu etc. Must be a unique kind of uniqueness, that's undetectable by supposed gourmets for DECADES. pesticides,hormones and fraud, the secret to J ags success.

Firstly, Judaism didn't invent slavery. Get a grip. Secondly,Islam as a philosophy is as valid as any other supernatural belief system.Grip harder.Thirdly, colonialism is an easy target, but overlooks the inherent ethnocentrism of Sub saharan tribal culture.Now twist.

Whst do you expect from a country that corporatises prisons, incarcerstes children in adult facilities and has a quarter of the worlds prisoners?Hope he gets a fair trial.

A breeding ground for Yakuza recruits. Shameful abuse of kids.

What were the Koreans doing? Being occupied, oppressed and abused.Get it together...

What the majority of thede whiners don't seem to get is school is dedigned to teach more than academic skills, it's about socialisation,manners,learning to negotiate, learning that authority should be respected etc. If your precious little carbon footprint " doesn't need " to learn these things, homeschool.

CH3CHO, the local population had many ethnic chinese, as there are today. Also, many Chinese -Malays worked in civil service. My grandfather lived through it, two of his brothers died, one in a camp. The treatment of POWs is a continuing shame to Japan.

Stun guns and pepper spray are legally available in Japan. Run if you can, fight if you must.

The point is that only when they are rich and priveliged do people seem to exhibit (feign) empathy. The choices first worlders make kill. More so than opportunity and money......sheeesh.

Another spoiled do nothing parasite dead. No loss. I'd rather mourn the dead 3rd world kid who could've achieved something.

If only she stole tens of millions..a promotion and bonusses would be hers.

I believe they face A$4000 dollar fines for each lizard, but may face further charges under a different Commonwealth act.

Well said controlfreak. Yasukuni is a disgrace to Japan.

Funny how many posters here judge everyone by their own abysmally low standards. Not every man is a 14 year old in an adult body. Some of us are grown ups not obsessed with porn.

Retired US General Wesley Clark has already stated that he was informed in 2007 that the US intended to attack Syria, amongst other targets in the region. This is just theatre, buy Halliburton shares if you want to make a buck.
