Posted in: What do you think of the decision by Malaysian Airlines to ban babies from its first-class cabins because of complaints from other passengers that they had paid big money for first-class seats but cou See in context
It's a myth that people in first class pay big bucks for their seats. Mostly they're flying on corporate expense accounts, which means when everyone else buy goods and services from these corporations, they are paying for the first class passengers' luxury. Malaysian Airlines' policy only confirms an entitlement complex and the contempt corporations have for regular people.

Tragic. Japan sacrifices its people though, one of the highest suicide rates in the world for years.

Posted in: Why do tourists continue to stay away from Japan, despite the fact that there are many places of interest far away from the crisis-affected areas? What should Japanese tourism officials do to promote See in context
Japan never really was much of a tourist destination, the whole "Yokoso Japan" campaign was designed to convince Japanese to stay home instead of going to the USA etc. on vacation. Seriously figuring tourism as a % of GDP, Poland is higher than Japan, and much of the "tourism" totals here are businessmen coming in for a few days of meetings. I don't see all the fuss about negative international image of Japanese produce and tourism, those are for the Japanese anyway.

Japanese media fundamentally delivers official information. Reputable (not tabloid) foreign media does "journalism." Which Japanese universities offer postgraduate degrees in journalism? Kisha clubs prevent journalism from happening in Japan.

I would be interested in seeing a breakdown regarding where more public money has gone versus where less public money has gone in the USA in the last 10 years. Didn't big bankers just get a load of public money? And now teachers' incomes are being cut. Is the idea to have nation of moronic slaves?

The location is in Toyama Park east of Meiji Dori, just southwest of the big open sports area, on the north side of the little bisecting road. There are currently about ten construction workers and two backhoes in action. A few onlookers on occasion. No cops.

Sorry says he wrote the book in jail should have read more carefully. This seems weird I know of a victim of a crime who was told by the court not to discuss details of the case. Is it so different for an accused?
