Could anyone check at least the FACTS before posting? According to the map provided by the Taipei Times, the ships are far in the pacific ocean. They are no nearer to the shoal in dispute than the naval base at the Hainan island. Plus, they have conducted such naval exercise every summer for a few years by now. |

You see these "extremists" who are nothing but pot calling kettle, expressing their hatred everywhere they go, and they are not the "few nut-case cult groups" like you'd want to believe. No, they are everyday Ameicans, brainwashed with hatred, mentality reverting back to the KKK days. I see them all the time. Texas is full of it, and I imagine there's plenty in other states too. They are not the majority, but they are far from insignificant minority. I fear what evil awaits this nation if these mindset keeps growing.

I'm a Muslim myself but I would like to say that this "radicals" are just pea in the total Islamic population of the world. Islam is a religion of peace and that's fact. This "radicals" only use religion as a way to justify their acts just like those during the Reformation and Inquisition.
Terrorism itself is a violation of Islams ideals. Any form of evil doesn't have a sit in Heaven |

Extrapolating a trend that has hardly been going on for half a century 1000 years into the future is a bit of a stretch.

With economy professors like this, I fear more for Japan's economic future than their population size. |

1000 years is still a long ways down the road. There's still a lot of time, and trends aren't irreversible. |

Raising the population is not the point.
Japan is one of the most densely populated larger countries in the world already (and that's with big parts of it being mountains). Which is why the whole argument over extinction is incredibly stupid. It's the ratio of old to young, which is problematic. |

Soylent green man! Why waste food? Even if they are all skin and bones at that age we can always repackage them as LFTSG (Lean Finely Textured Soylent Green).

But I'm really interested in how Japan will develop without major immigration as opposed to e.g. Germany with considerable amount of immigration (and with EU plans to open up to Africa and other culturally very different countries). Who will have more quality of life in 50 years? Empty villages vs. race problems? |
