Posted in: Tokyo police mistakenly arrest Filipino man for allegedly overstaying visa See in context

Ive had cops question me and when I want to end the interrogation i say thatI am late for a business appointment or some such meeting-they usually get the hint.

One day I refused to get my car searched because I was to full to move my ass out of the car, that's exactly what I told to the cops knocking on my window and they left before I could blink, same might not apply when you're walking as they will keep blocking your way with their bodies or they'll follow you around, waiting for you to lose your patience, at least thats what I saw in a few Youtube videos.

Thank God I drive/ride everywhere even in Tokyo so the police will only stop me if I actually look suspicious in the eyes of the law (drunk driving etc.), just cant imagine leaving the house in the morning, going to work/meet a client in full suit just to get my time totally wasted by these people in front of everyone.

I noticed the police mostly stop japanese people 'wearing baggy jeans' or sitting around a certain area doing pretty much nothing, but they find it completely logical to stop a busy looking foreigner on his way to/from work, what a joke!

this happens a lot in 3rd world countries, absolutely nothing is safe if left outside without supervision, a shrinking population is better than this

I still don't understand why the Japanese women have to be so bitchy at work. Why can't they learn to be professional? I have one at my work place!

Validation and attention they didnt get at home at a young age, and this is not limited to women, every single company I joined had one of these people, like someone asks you to throw away some carboards boxes and the next moment the genius comes all the way to stop you and show how to "fold them properly" while asking you loudly if this isnt the easiest way to do, "motto yariyasui desho? DESHO?".

At least I make use of my Western sarcasm so the person doesn't feel so entitled to do the same again just to be laughed at at the end but I can only imagine what the japanese have to suffer every day.

Might be time for this place to close down.

About time.

This place is well known for it's military-like treatment of the young girls and women who attend the HIGHLY competitive high school and then graduate to the "stage". Stories of hazing and bullying have been reported numerous times over the past few decades.

Just like any other "group activity" in Japan.

Little kids and teenagers join street dance schools etc. to be scolded into perfecting the slightest details as if their lives depend on it, not a single smile in sight.

Tokyo alone has more people than Canada.

Just tax the heck out of the cancer sticks and people will get it, it will be a beautiful day when Japan starts charging ¥2.000 a pack, this tax hike will cover the addicts' medical expenses, precious medical care they usually steal from healthy, normal people.

"Should just stay quiet, let rest area security handle this, otherwise all family can stay together alive."

Yeah in rome do as the romans do. I will take that advice to heart. as they say ...this is japan!

This is the transcript of the events, the victim shouted to the killer "jama da, boke!", it's a verbal manifestation of deep disgust upon witnessing such a selfish act (of stopping your car causing nuisance to pedestrians and start smoking outside as if its nothing) but as you said, this is Japan, I'd just ignore and go on with my family, not in fear of someone coming to kill me, but of the legal consequences after the japanese man provokes a fight and the minute you touch him, they use the police against you as they always seem to do.

Posted in: Man's 18-year sentence upheld for 2017 Japan highway road rage deaths See in context

The article failed to mentioned he threatened the judge upon getting his appeal rejected today. "Wait until I get out"

Most japanese in the comments were asking for the death penalty or life in prison.

I was just so relieved when I found out I'm not the only one who noticed a pattern in a certain physical feature and behaviour, many japanese think exactly the same.

Just look at the guy's picture and see if you notice something in common with most jerks you had to put up with in this place.

90% of the bosozoku have exactly the same feature.

Hopefully within this decade we wont be seeing these accidents anymore, at least in aging Japan Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS) should be mandatory for new cars.

Guy seems to be a predator but there were also some good points brought up here.

If someone punched me, stole from me, vandalized my car or worse, I'd go to the police the next day, or within the week/month if the trauma was too big to recover, regardless if I had any evidence or not.

Imagine going to the police station tomorrow to report someone you know broke into your car in the summer of 2012.

Actually the whole humanity will be helped with this.

Mice, keyboards, screen tapping or even individual screens for that matter will be a thing from the past.

Just remember no book or sci-fi movie ever predicted our current smartphone assisted lives and in 2007, boom. Humanity changed forever

The nonsense repeats.

The way these 'people' view and treat human beings are beyond me.

We are not little bolts, or cattle, random numbers.

The Human experience is above every thing else, there is just no discussion.

It's actually a bit offensive and plain nauseating to read these nonsense while holding a newborn in your arms.

Every alien civilization out there had their share of suffering, resource depletion and preventable death before they finally managed to reap the fruits and become a Type 1 civilization.

Mr. Michio Kaku expect us to achieve that within this century or the next.

Don't need to end your lineage "for the planet", we will manage this.

French mayors face violence and intimidation from xenophobic far-right groups

Sounds more like citizens concerned for their communities, culture, and safety.

Exactly.

"Racist" / "Far-right" are the new "Counter revolutionary", a slur used in China to shut people up, a hat that fits all. This is a replay of the cultural revolution that 'cancelled' the whole pre-communism China civilization.

Posted in: Man arrested after assaulting man who tried to get into taxi ahead of him See in context

There was no line. You don’t have to punch the person. He might have been mistaken assuming taxi stopped for him if he didn’t see the other guy hailed the taxi. He just needed to confirm with taxi driver that taxi was stopped for him.

The "mistake" could have probably be solved with a sumimasen but I assume the 'victim' here probably just stared at his phone while pulling the japanese 'not hearing/seeing you' phoney face.

They know they can do these kind of thing everyday because no one will do anything in fear of getting arrested for even shoving the guy aside.

The 'japanese way' sometimes is mind-boggling.

In any other country these nasties only pick up a fight or disrespect someone if they can own it.

In the japanese way, the scum bark out loud or cause a road rage incident so the minute you get closer they put out their phones and threat you to call the police.

We need more details but I can kind of picture what happened here.

Witnessed the same disrespect a 1000 times before.

Big Boy, Bronco Billy, Steak Gusto.

Pay 1.500~3.000yen for the most delicious steak you can have in Japan.

If I was to pay 8.000yen for a little serving of steak and leave still hungry I'd rather cook at home.

So sad. I have junior high school girl and a high school girl.

I am haunted by the idea just to think about it one second.

Please discuss it at school everytime and give real positive outlook to life !

Well, I might be wrong but I dont think this kind of problem affect kids with foreign roots, especially Westerners.

It's a completely different mindset, we actually talk with our kids, and they trust us as one of their best friends.

I cant picture a foreign kid jumping into train tracks after being bullied at school or a young European deciding to jump from a building over changing jobs.

Besides, how can a parent cannot notice if their kid is worried, absent, depressed? Mind-boggling.

Posted in: Frightening video shows Japan’s stop-and-listen-for-trains driving rule maybe isn’t so silly after all See in context

Driving everyday around Tokyo I see many drivers that simply stop right before the gate so they dont get fined and then proceed without checking any side. So many traffic accidents could be avoided if people weren't overly confident, it almost seems like the longer they drive they "graduate" the rules they believe it was created for newbies. This is very dangerous especially in a place like Tokyo where you drive through the city surrounded by hordes of totally clueless pedestrians/cyclists.

It's their reality. They don't seem to be attracted to the local men.

I still remember one of my 1st cultural shocks in Japan: going out in a busy shopping area and barely seeing any couples, let alone couples holding hands. Instead, hundreds of very beautiful, slender, very well dressed girls shopping, going to the karaoke with their girl friends. You watch from above and see 1 or 2 couples among dozens of groups of girls enjoying themselves.

I just hope they conduct at least a basic training on the language and culture for these people before they come, walking around Tokyo, or Fujisan, Hakone, anywhere, 99% of the times something random bothers me its people from other Asian countries doing rude things that are completely acceptable and even normal in their countries, like talking loudly, standing in the middle of a narrow bridge to take 'selfies' while people wait for ages as if its nothing, etc. basic education is needed to alleviate these cultural clashes.

Surprisingly enough everyone was well behaved on the roads yesterday despite everyone doing like 25mph, was expecting a sociopath come rushing to show everyone around "how to drive on the snow" any minute but that didnt happen, everyone kept a respectful distance from each other. Wished Tokyo had just a little bit more of snowy days, every time is just the beautiful snow one day, slippery ice the second day and everything is gone in 3 days.
