Sheikh Yerboaby comments

of all the issues that people bribe JGov ministers for, it's THIS eco-friendly one that gets discovered.......any chance we can delve into the coal and nuclear lobbyists and their trough of bribes??

why was he riding his bike on the expressway?? how did he get on.....don't u need to pass through a toll booth?

I can't help but ask: are all those 'safe' plastic food containers really ok to stick in the microwave?

in a word....no

Wage growth. My wife got a five yen/hr raise each year for the last five years. Thanks but a 25 yen boost hasn't been quite enough.

lucky her.....I have had zero

what?! You mean......Abenomics......didn't work?! But...but....the abenomasks!!

I can't disagree with that. But if we leave Russia's actions aside for now, there still remain the people of the eastern parts of Ukraine who I understand were generally unhappy with the changes that occurred in 2014. Should their thoughts be ignored just because Russia behaves badly?

I guess we disagree on the idea of self-determination. Fair enough. But the issue seems to crop up a lot in our messy world.

But the majority of the people in the Dombas didn't want self determination. They didn't think there was a genocide going on. This was all nonsense agitated by Russia. The subsequent elections were highly discredited.....if they feel it is the will of all who live there, then Russia should pull out....allow the UN to administer an election there to decide whether they want to be independent or part of ukraine....but Russia knows that it was garbage propaganda that they peddled. I'm all for self-determination....if that's what the majority wants.

An immediate end would be a ceasefire, leaving Russia in control of the historically Russian areas.

Russia is prepared to discuss the new line of control.

Unfortunately Zelensky is refusing to accept a negotiated peace.

and he is right to refuse such a scenario. Russia needs to move back across their borders. There is no negotiation for illegal invasions.

shame it hasn't been released in Japan, it isn't glorifying the bomb dropping in any way, but understandable I suppose. It was a great watch, 3 hours was fine.

How did he intimidate these famous people?

I have an irrational fear of this happening while I walk by one of these huge construction sites

In other words, J-inc corruption and incompetence causes a huge disaster, milks it for 12 years, then just pours radiation into the sea, then cry victim when people don’t just bend over and take it.

I think they are bending over and taking it nicely....funny phone calls?! ok then.

Switch to a premium rate number. Bank some Yen.

Underrated comment! :D

China wants to grow up.......

Maybe we can start a similar campaign to the Chinese embassy in Tokyo complaining about all the air pollutants that Chinese factories spew out that contributes to the poor air quality haze that floats across the Japan sea. Or the pollutants and sewage that is pumped into its rivers that ends up in the ocean.....in fact...China....just....shhhh

Because Japanese pro baseball has a stupid arsed draft system that is based purely on the luck of the draw.

What does this mean?

Aren’t there just 6 teams in the league? How can winning it be so rare?

Because Tigers are usually garbage?

Hasebe told a press conference, adding that the district is not a party venue.

ummm....yes it is.....LMAO Mayor of Shibuya and you don't think that it's a major party area?!?

And we in Japan are concerned about your flagrant invasion of a sovereign nation......swings and roundabouts

Are taxi drivers salaried workers in Japan or do they earn more the more drop offs they have like taxi drivers back home do?

Off with this predator's nads......it's the only "cure"....these people cannot be reformed

Setting his sights high on his criminal career

Just say no!

Winners don’t take drugs.

haha....Sarcastic poster of the week goes to...

maybe just allow marijuana to be legal then....people obviously want to smoke it. Prohibition of the actual product is pushing people into trying more dangerous compounds....control and legalise the actual product then.

well maybe China needs to pipe down.....they've been offered the chance to be a part of the monitoring process and have declined. That7s before we even tackle the hypocrisy of their own polluted water ways and the radiation they have released into the oceans and atmosphere through their nuclear weapons progamme

Convenis are the pride of Japan. Outstanding products and service. Everyone has their favourite conveni product - mine is the Lawson egg sandwich.

I don't get the excitement over the egg sandwiches....I like em...but they are just egg sandwiches. I've had people come from abroad and when I ask them what they have eaten or want to eat, the egg sandwich is usually 1 of the first things they say! We have egg sandwiches at home....they taste the same....eggy....I just don't get it!

and this is news........how?

Hold the presses!! Country thought host country might have spied on them......I am blown away by these revelations and I need to sit down to digest the vast consequences of such a reveal

Criminal masterminds they are not! In the video they were walking around casually, seemed unsure of what to get.....a woman kept on closing the door to the shop.....anyone with a bit of oomph could easily have smashed at least 1 of them and restrained him till the cops came

"Also called a coup”: Trump quietly calls for “regime change” in US

again?

As the article states, this isn't anything new....but it IS something that the media likes to hype. A few years back there were hysterical headlines like "RAF SCRAMBLES JETS TO INTERCEPT RUSSIAN FIGHTERS".......when in reality, what happened was that RAF jets were sent on a routine shadowing mission as Russian jets flew in international airspace. This is what happens all the time. What with the tensions between Russia and the west, I'm sure they will be even more common....but let's not over egg the pudding here.

If teens look at other teens....is that really paedophilia?! Ever since the advent of cameraphones, this has become a problem around the world.....I worked in schools back home at the beginning of this, and the sending and asking for nude shots steadily grew. It's a problem as these images can haunt young people throughout their lives......but it's not paedophilia...is it. Adults inducing minors to take nudes or send nudes or gathering nudes from a 3rd party source....that is paedophilia.

LMAO this myth still perpetrates in Japan. The Nuclear lobby in the 60's and 70's successfully sowed this idea into the psyches of inaka people and onsen town hicks. Iceland, has HUGE geothermal energy production and also HUGE culture for hot springs....1 does not preclude the other. And guess where they get the technology and turbines required to make all that clean, constant electricity?? You guessed it......Mitsubishi Heavy industries from right here in good ol Nippon!! You couldn't make this nonsense up. Well done Japan, another great example of why groupthink is terrible for the progression of society.

Let's fire up those coal plants!! LLF

Airport staff quitting due to the sharp decline in travelers during the height of the pandemic has resulted in a more than 20 percent decrease in security inspectors nationwide.

quitting?? you mean they were fired......their companies fired them because of lower traveller numbers. Why would staff care that there are less travellers if they were still being paid to do the same job, less travellers= less work!
