Posted in: Scientists on trial for manslaughter in Italy for failure to warn residents about quake See in context

First of all, if these natural disasters were really "divine punishment" then why are these useless politicians still alive?

Second, isn't Italy wooing foreign countries to try and keep from going bankrupt? I don't think this is the best way of doing it.

Pipe Dream. We are totally not going to see this.

Some of us did see this a few years ago with Connexion by Boeing. The plug was pulled because it was too expensive and there wasn't enough demand. What I'm wondering is how long this new service will last?

That was a really stupid thing to do. They didn't have 200 yen for the bus? One goes from Sakae to right near the airport/base. As CrazyJoe said, they could have also walked - it's doable.

Also Sakae is not a "ku". Sakae is in Naka-ku.

Posted in: Noda to become Japan's next prime minister See in context

Who cares who the PM is? They'll just quit again within a year. Then the country will go through this massive idiocy all over again. The Japanese government is the laughing stock of the world, as it should be.

“I feel like I’m watching events in another country,” said Takita, 60.

Typical Japanese elitist statement. "Another country" wouldn't change leaders every 15 minutes like Japan does.

Japanese critics of The Hague treaty often charge that women and children need protection from abusive foreign men.

What about abusive Japanese women? I was married to one but THANKFULLY we never had children.

Even if the guy separates from his wife and moves out, he cannot get caught having an affair until I believe he is out of the house for at least a year.

Not until he is legally divorced, and even after divorce, there is a 3 year statute of limitations in the event of an extra marital affair. Compensation money paid by the guilty party can be as high as ¥3000000 depending on the circumstances, and the people involved.

Divorce in Japan can be very unpleasant

Posted in: Nintendo's task: The Wii, again, more, better See in context

not only do we want to bring back those people who have left Nintendo, we also want to create a new group of core users

I "left" Nintendo because the game library was boring. The Wii especially, seemed Gundam and Pokemon-centric, and I'm not in elementary school anymore.

So then the custodian did an office by office meeting and explained to every one that the fire escape had to be clear in case of fire therefore people were not to use it when there was not a fire in case there was a fire.

Being told not to use fire stairs is not in the same league as being told what color underwear is permissible
