Posted in: Man punched in face by fellow train commuter over phone manners See in context
Is it banned? Really? I doubt it. Is it a even a real "rule" or just one of those better manners "do it at home" social rules that people think is somehow an enforceable law? We all hate people with bad manners but debating this like someone's breaking a rule or law is hillarious. Annoying as hell, yes, bad manners, yes, but not an excuse to use force. I recently saw this young lady (20's) tug on a 30-something fashionista's shirt who was chatting on the phone on the train.. she say's "Oba san, Oba san, chotto urusai yo". That was entertaining.

Wow! Tough crowd. You'd think they were remaking Casablanca here. It's admittedly a light-hearted book and movie which is for entertainment. J's like things cute, fluffy, and not too in-depth. It's not a cultural anthropological study of inter racial marriages. Lighten up folks.

You know, for most of us here on the JT board, this it's either pure entertainment or completely pathetic. I never really hear my Japanese freinds talking about these J cops. My question though, is, are all these crimes and shenanigans being reported in the J press? If so, isn't the J public just disgusted with their police force? This I'm curious about.
