America is used as an excuse to [get ready] for war. Yet America simply sits back and watches these countries make fools of themselves and watches them shoot themselves in the foot. I guess when you are intimidated by America, you all SH!t in your pants.

Native speakers can provide accurate pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm, which are crucial aspects of language learning. Mimicking native pronunciation helps you sound more natural and be better understood by others.

Native speakers can teach you colloquialisms, slang, and cultural nuances that might not be found in textbooks or formal language courses. This will help you understand and communicate in real-life situations.

Interacting with a native speaker exposes you to the language in a more immersive environment, which can accelerate your learning process and help you become more confident in using the language.

Language and culture often go hand-in-hand. Learning from a native speaker can provide you with valuable cultural insights that are essential for fully understanding the language's context and social customs.

A native speaker can provide instant feedback on your speaking, writing, and listening skills, helping you correct mistakes and improve faster.

I hope I dont do that when Im his age. Scary.

This is what happens when there is NOT a native English speaking teacher in charge of the curriculum.

Terrible news out of Japan once more. I hope the young girl is safe and doing well.

Japan is a safe country. This kind of crime happens only once in a blue moon. I am repeatedly told. So...

Every country should inspect Japans' seafood for radioactive fish bowls. Safety first!

Good strategy. Nissan is going down so why not invest in an overseas company? Brilliant work!

This is Kim's Sale & Marketing Conference. Sales may be good this quarter for the DKRP.

I will buy it without any forethought.

Can you all take out your Dear Leader as well?

America always leads innovation. Thank you.

Many people got it. She is just a person after all.

The message is: Do not start wars or you will get nuked.

Money is King in Japan.

It's amazing how so many Japanese instantly trust the Japanese Government here in Japan.

Caution is required.

Maybe the young Japanese are waking up to what they really want to do with their lives?

Dead Head Found. Interesting. Japan.

Saw the Rolling Stones in Seattle and Mick just keeps going for three hours on stage. At 80 years old, I will be fishing by the lake drinking a beer with a fat round stomach. Go Go Mick!

According to Kenji Omata, a distinguished professor of criminal psychology at Surugadai University in Hanno, Saitama Prefecture, it remains premature to conclusively determine if the upward trend will persist. He highlights that various factors such as police policies and the reporting of cases by victims can influence these figures. Nevertheless, the data does indicate a broader increase in criminal activity in Japan over the past years.

Regarding this article, I have seen this news on TV and I hope this many gets help, however - over the course of the last few months, I have observed a notable trend of downvotes on comments discussing Japan and its reported rise in crime. I find myself perplexed by the reasoning behind these downvotes, as it appears to be a response to the dissemination of factual information about crime in the country. Various articles addressing this topic have surfaced, and the habit of frequently comparing crime rates between Japan and America may not be conducive to fostering safety in Japan. Rather than perpetuating such comparisons, it is imperative that we confront the genuine reality of the crime situation in Japan, acknowledging it as it truly is, in order to address the underlying issues and work collectively towards promoting a safer and more secure society.

When Japan follows America, it will likely gain insight into the rationale behind the global imperative to safeguard against the actions or policies of the China.

This understanding could stem from a variety of factors, including concerns over security, geopolitical interests, economic interdependence, human rights considerations, or the adherence to international agreements and norms.

Such observations might lead to the recognition of potential challenges or risks posed by China, prompting the international community to adopt measures aimed at preserving stability, peace, and the welfare of nations.

In the realm of job hunting worldwide, a significant number of candidates identify as heterosexual, yet many opt not to disclose their sexual orientation to Human Resources Departments during the application process. This choice may stem from various reasons, including a desire to be evaluated solely on their qualifications and skills, concerns about potential bias or discrimination, and the wish to avoid being stereotyped based on their identity. It is essential to understand that this decision does not imply shame or denial of one's sexual orientation but rather reflects a complex interplay of societal norms and the aspiration for a fair and unbiased application process. From the HR perspective, the focus remains on evaluating applicants based on their professional competencies, fostering inclusivity, and providing equal treatment to all candidates, irrespective of their sexual orientation, to create diverse and innovative work environments.

Japan seems to be concerned about global opinion and not purchasing Japanese fish in the future.

North Korea is busy with him. Very busy.

This story just gets funnier and funnier as time goes on.

Not the most fashionable fan around your neck thing the that is primarily made out of hard plastic.

Some people just are not meant to be in the military. He may have made his choice to join due to financial issues or something. I wager to bet he is re-thinking his choice to live in the land of Kim.

"What was I thinking?" Mumbles the dude.

This is a fan. Not an air conditioner.
