Posted in: Brazilian tennis player apologizes for racist gesture in Japan See in context
The ITF is feeble! "condemns any offensive behavior"? $1,500? "Unsportsmanlike"?
Is that the best they can come up with??? How about "condemns racist behavior"? which it is. How about adding a zero and making it $15,000. That will make all these guys really think before they raise their 2 fingers which this guy did to all Asians. The ITF is pathetic.

Posted in: Japan's peace constitution under pressure at 70 See in context
I am no expert on the constitution but why do they want to change it? Is it because of "national humiliation"? Or is it because the conservatives want the "obligation" to go to war? And how does the change make this more in line with "family" values? If you ask me Abe and co are dead set on wanting the ability to go on some crusade. I fear the worst for Japan with Abe in charge because he is so confident now that he is likely to get his way and with no strong opposition....well.....

Those "victims" from Hiroshima need to be given some history books other than those issued by the J-government and then they would understand why they got bombed.

Kerry should not apologize. America did not start this war. If the Japanese at the time had the nuclear capability I have no doubt that they would have dropped one too.

These nuclear power companies will only give up once they lay waste to Japan and then they will blame the courts saying "well you guys sanctioned it"...trust this is not the end. Abe and his cronies will try until they get a judge who is sympathetic.

"We do not impose our culture on others.." - clearly A-bee has been reading from one of those right wing textbooks. It should also be interpreted as "we do not impose our culture but we will impose our will eh the UN?"...this guy is a real embarrassment to Japan.

fxgai - that was against Ireland I believe. Great game we won that in OT.
McCaw is the best and though he didn't have the global impact of Jonah Lomu he brought the All Blacks back to all NZ'ers.
All the best Richie and thank you!

I'm far from a Bieber fan but the guy is talented. Check him out on youtube playing all those instruments and singing live. I think he is definitely more talented musically wise then One Direction who are just one of Simon Cowell's act.
