Posted in: Japan braces for Trump assault on trade, yen policy as summit looms See in context

Asia is better off without America then. Might as well tell Trumpy to sling his hook, and South Korea, China, Japan and co can all kiss and make up and form the A.U.

You’d massively struggle to find any Filipino who speaks English as well as I do.

Posted in: Japan's jobless rate at lowest in nearly 25 years See in context

Indeed, these articles are pointless unless they describe what kind of new jobs people are working, and on what level of pay. By saying jobs are up alone, a rosy picture is painted, but what if that increase in jobs is accounted for mainly by miserable minimum wage slog jobs? That said, a job is a job, and I still think having one, even if it’s shitty, is better than not having one at all.

Posted in: Elderly couple found dead in apparent murder-suicide See in context

If the husband desired it, or they both came to an agreement that this is how it was going to end, I don’t see much wrong. May they both Rest In Peace. Die and let die, so to speak.

There’s very little crime here, but the violent crime there is, is done by quite a few psychopaths.

Suicide Forest is a bit hard on the stomach. They should rename it Forest of the Skulls and Swirling Souls.

Posted in: Japan warns May on Brexit: 'We cannot continue in UK without profit' See in context

Let’s be honest. If all the Japanese companies in the UK suddenly packed up and left, that would make one hell of an interesting news story. Go for it CEOs! The perfect accompaniment to my toast and milky coffee.

Posted in: Japan's antismoking plan with gaping loophole sparks outcry See in context

Can we ban all cars in cities too while we’re at it, and pedestrianize all streets in the center of Tokyo. Whilst I might sound like I’m being facetious, I can assure you I’m not. I’m just sick of breathing second hand car fumes while I walk around. It’s possibly killing me.

Rousing speech,especially the part when the Korean guy waved his crutches. Trump is re-igniting a fierce wave of US patriotism round right about now.

Posted in: Peruvian man charged with 6 murders enters no plea See in context

One of the most deranged crimes in Japan that I can remember. Mental health issues or not, surely for the peace of mind of the victim’s relatives, this guy should be disposed of as swiftly as possible.

Posted in: Tokyo experiences coldest day in 48 years See in context

It may be -4 but it certainly isn’t the coldest day I’ve felt here by any stretch. When you add in winter wind or rain, that is when the weather can really start to bite.

Too much debate is given to the method in which they are dispatched. If the crime is as despicable as these two were, all rights are forefeited.
