Machines
Thursday, February first, two thousand and seven
Japanese Health Minister Hakuo Yanagisawa came under criticism for calling women "birth-giving machines" in a speech last Saturday. Many lawmakers urge him to resign, but he don't have the will to do that, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that he intends not to call for the minister's resignation.
Let me make a sentence for them.
Politicians are the "money-wasting and time-wasting machines".

Hi.plow,
There are surely many machines in Japan.^^ Truly Yanagisawa's slip of tongue offended women's feeling. However, it is very regrettable his remark is now used in a political means. Politicians must focus on the discussion about the declining birth rate. They have other fish to fry.
Hi huyukohh,
Yeah, you said it! Some politician who belong to opposition parties skipped their work in Diet. They are also the machines as well as others. By the way, the phrase, having other fish to fry, soundes interesting to me. Thank you for letting me know.
