Of course, if a similar service done by cute girls is started somewhere, western audiences get all angry and accuses everyone of misogyny or sexism or even modern soft prostitution.

Posted in: The state of kissing in Japan See in context
This survey seems to say conflicting things. If a kiss is just a kiss, why are the Japanese kissing more people?
I don't understand this sentence. Shouldn't it be "why are the Japanese NOT kissing more people?"

killing 46 South Korean sailors in the worst clash since their war ended in 1953.
I thought the war didn't end... at least it did not end between north and south Korea.

Interesting article. Thank you Eddie!

They should cancel the lights not only in Japan but everywhere too. Waste of energy.

Posted in: Why Japanese values and morality confound us so See in context
And upon learning that so many are atheists, many ask, “Then how is it possible that the Japanese are so well-mannered and crime is so low?”
Wow, this is some serious stuff there. As an atheist myself, I find this shockingly stupid to say that. Also, atheist rate in the US varies from one source to another. We are all born atheist, and many of us are made into religious slaves.

Ok I'm going to quote this comment because this is exactly what I think:
Hawkeye Oct. 06, 2011 - 11:15PM JST
It is a sad day when anyone famous that was loved by so many passes away but what about all the thousands of anonymous souls that passed away yesterday that we don't mourn because they did not invent something that all of us want to have, are they any less remarkable? Most of us don't realize that large companies like Apple have thousands of brainstormers and the iPad or iPhone may have not been the brainchild of Jobs but from a team of far thinking marketing geniuses but who gets the credit, the CEO of course.
