ive never understood these lawsuit systems. How can there be a system where people can demand ridiculous amount of money ( and actually get it!)for beeing incompitent themselfes? "But.. it didnt say on the gun that it could cause deadly harm. i want 150million because i accidently killed my goldfish with it" Only thing that comes out of this is that people are going to try and earn money by using the system.

one pupil stabs another pupil in the eye with a pencil and the teacher finds himself accused of inadequate supervision. Or what if, on a class trip to a factory, a kid causes damage to the machinery? Or if sloppy paperwork on the school’s part damages a child’s eligibility for overseas study? The possibilities are endless.

That is is the teachers fault! What are they talking about?

How can it be the teachers fault that a student assaults another or destroys property? It should be the parents obligation to teach their children proper manners not the teacher. As a teacher you cant have 100% control over the class all the time as you are suppose to teach not be a prisonguard. So you are blaming the school massacres on the teachers for not stripsearching the students before class?

Though the last point about sloppy paperwork is the teachers responsibility. But they shouldnt go bankrupt for making a misstake.

I see this trend in my own country aswell. Parents expect the teachers not only to teach the children but aso to raise them for em. I pity the teachers of our time. Keep up the good work!

Actually you picked a really bad comparison there jerseyboy.. You are getting into one countrys history vs another and that my little friend is going into deep water. One countrys heroes are mostly the other countrys villans if they are on opposing sides in a conflict. Quite logical isnt it?

The people behind the pearl harbor attack became heroes because they did a great thing for their country at the time Same goes for the people behind the raising of the flag at Mt Suribachi I expect that they are not considered heroes in Japan instead.

About the U.S. provocation you write about History is a floating document dictated and modified by a countrys leaders. So dont expect it to be the same everywhere you go. Especially if its two opposing sides. I would suggest that you put some time into reading a few different history books and make up your own mind and you will see that the truth might be somewhere in the middle.

So draging in historical views into this will make it a neverending story "cultural insensitivity" as you call it will be found everywhere.

But here we have something material thats been regarded as consecrated soil by a Goverment and shouldnt be disturbed. So removing it is in fact stealing ( though as it said in the text, veterans were allowed to take some as a memento) But by selling it your actually selling stolen property, which if im not misstaken is a crime atleast where i live.

Here is an example: you ask at the house next door if you may have an apple from their garden and you get it,lucky you -OK- you sneak in and steal alot of apples and then go out selling em -BAAAD-

Just when i didnt think it could get any worse..

Do you have a subject in American schools called "How to piss of every culture on the planet and stay ignorant about it"?

That people keeps mementos from their own experinces i have no problem what so ever with (except if its human remains..). I respect everyone that fought in wwII independent of nationality. All fought out of their own beliefes. There are no good and bad here. All sides did things they shouldnt have.

But to make a profit by selling this soil to military buffs ( even on ebay..) that i doubt could even point out the place on a map, comon thats just so lame. How can people NOT see it as a slap in the face not only to the japanese people but also the Americans that gave their lives over there.

Someone compared it to if some in japan would start selling the oil from sunken ships at pearl harbor and i so agree. If that would happen then the civil guards would surely mass up and go burn down chinatown since they most likely cant distinguish between Asian nationals. After that there would start flying around petitions to nuke New-Zealand as someone misstook it for Japan.

Still waiting for the American goverment to declare the japanese miniskirts as weapons of massdestruktion that need "dismanteling" But then again some Marines seems to have taken that on by themselves..

And NO im neither Japanese nor from a "terrorist" state im just tired of crap like this
