We can thank Japan because they are the ones who dumped US bonds last night, causing Trump to panic.

Hunting whales in the South Pacific has never been part of Japan's traditional culture.

Japan first started whaling in the Southern Ocean in 1934. This is back when all the presently anti-whaling nations were still whaing. Whaling itself is part of traditional Japanse culture.

Indigenous peoples like the Inuit hunt whales because it is a tradition. But now they use high powered rifles, outboard engined motorboats and snowmobiles to carry off the meat. None of which is "traditional" in the strictest sense. But whaling itself is part of their tradition and culture.

Only in Wakayama, not all of Japan.

The nationwide eating of whale meat in Japan only began after WW2, when the US encouraged it because people were not getting enough protein.

I cannot believe what people are saying here. She's a journalist and a filmmaker, she did a movie about herself and what? she is now a money graber! So Michael Moore should stop making movies for the theaters and instead stream everything on youtube for free? Both are filmmakers it's obvious they will create movies for the theater, both know about how important is to have their movies screened on all the movie festivals especially those focused on documentaries, they got more coverage doing that than streaming on youtube.

Really it's like telling a musician to stop creating music about herself and selling it, like Eric Clapton creating a music about his son and the song became top 1, ask him to give the song for free?

You haven't been on here long, have you pocket? The comments in JT are often highly misogynistic.

Just check some of the reactions to news stories on crimes against women. I try to ignore them.
