“The diplomatic voice of countries without nuclear weapons is overwhelmingly weak.”

If Japan had nuclear weapons their diplomatic voice would be able to achieve what exactly? Install fear, issue threats, create destruction on a mass scale?

Always worry when you start to here "security" being thrown around by this mob as it is usually a pretext for your rights to be altered, and not for the better either...

What a mockery.

Fukushima fire festival

Scary headline...

If Mon-Fri education creates delinquency and educational failings how can more of the same on a Saturday change things?

TEPCO says Fukushima clean-up costs may double to Y10 tril

Whose going to pay for it?

Convenience store food getting tastier

More MSG?

Two headlines today: "Japan and the United States mulling a joint military drill to retake island" & "the MSDF showcasing warships". Nothing like provoking a situation is there!

Headline a couple of weeks back: "U.S. takes no sides in Japan-China dispute".

Look like zombies. Already got plenty of them in Japan!

Lol, total propaganda aimed at housewives, and the like, as they can't be taxed if they don't go off to work. Don't be taken in by it ladies!

Free? It's a guarantee that national health insurance will be hiked to cover it, so really it is the public that will pay for their so-called "free" service...

Japan must educate its people about World War II

That's quite simple, all you need to tell them is Japan was only trying follow the British model of creating an empire. To study further, please study the British model.

Yakuza with US assets? and transactions with American entities? It begs the question why a criminal organization has such dealings with the US in the first place.

2040? Evil is soon done, but slowly mended!

JT's two headlines today: "Panetta urges calm, but says U.S. takes no sides in Japan-China dispute" & "U.S., Japan agree on new missile defense system". You got to laugh at the rhetoric...

A 73 year old committing suicide because of a forthcoming magazine story on a rumored affair? Sounds dubious at best.

You are a product of your environment, nobody is born a bully.

The only solution is common heritage, otherwise it's just more conflict, more propaganda, more hate, more divide, and in the end war.

Gov't risks angering both sides with energy mix plan

It might be an idea to look at the cause of each side's anger then. Surely then we'll see which side is corrupt...

“It is true that in order to be in healthy financial condition, nuclear power is helpful,”

"healthy" & "helpful" in conjunction with "nuclear power"?

It beggars belief how any company can release deadly contamination, on a mass scale, into the atmosphere, water supplies, food chain etc., and be allowed to go free and restart nuclear reactors again...

This ongoing fiasco is like watching two children arguing over a toy. The only way it can be resolved is by establishing common heritage.

There's a reason for legal limits on pollutants

and they are all set to deal with reality, not safety...

The ppl they asked must have had their heads buried in the sand for a very long time...

No mention of the parts they deleted...

radioactive strontium have been detected in Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa Prefectures

Deindustrialization is on the cards for Japan...

What to do if someone on the street goes berserk

Leg it!

Electricity flows from restarted Oi reactor

Let's pray that is the only thing that flows from it...
