Why are all of you except for one individual very critical of their ages?

I believe that they have brilliant minds and they can ignore your short- mindedness. Those of you who are very critical of them will also become old. How would you feel if all of your grandchildren feel the way you do about their ages although you may be keen and active individuals.

I hope that you wold stop and think what you said about them.

You do the triple axel as often as you possibly can and hope for the best because you have nothing to lose. You might even medal one. Gambare Mao-san.

Hope that there is no statue of limitations on the murder case.

As I mentioned earlier, the authorities track down all suspects to overseas like Thailand and other Asian countries. I have heard that many criminals escape to Thailand and live there.

I wonder if the authorities checked all suspects who departed on the day and after for arrivals in Thailand and other Asian countris. I realize that there must be thousands, but they have to do it!

Thank you very much for your advise Paul J. I have heard you loud and clear.....good lesson for me. Have a great day.

Don't twist my words. "hardly understand" who said that?

Typo: "who were, not who was", Sorry.

Perhaps, I should make myself clear to those of you who misunderstood me. When I said that I don't "understand" , I did not catch a few words expressed on radio, TV and in our conversations. I did not mean that I did not understand their entire statements. Those of you who was rather rude should also know this to be a fact that you might miss a word or two or more because of their strong accent or dialects spoken by some of people from UK and other English speaking countries. I NEVER even said that American English is the best! You even misread my posts.

I neglected to thank Kent Mcgraw and others who agreed with me.

Thank you very much for responding to my post especially from Reckless for his first comment. I appreciate it. I said "SOME" of those native English speakers. They probably spoke with very strong dialects! Obviously I offended some of you, I am sorry. I strongly believe that Any Japanese who wants to be an English conversation teacher, one should be offered an interview in English to find out about their eligibility. Students might like to have the Japanese English teacher, you know. Again, thank you for your posts.

I hope that someone in the government get this message:

I applied to one of those schools for an English speaking assistant, but I was refused to even have an interview just because I am Japanese! I lived in the states for a long time and an speak English with an American accent without a trace of Japanese accent.

If you listen to some people from South Africa, England, Australia, etc. you hardly understand what they are saying, but those schools in Japan are discriminating Japanese citizens because they were NOT born in an "English speaking country". As far as I am concerned, those schools which do not even OFFER an interview to Japanese English speaker should have their license to operate void and null.

I mentioned about how I felt about some of those prospective English teachers to Americans and other nationalities about not understanding well, and they don't understand them well either!

So, my feeling is that the schools give Japanese applicants priorities to give them interviews at least and find out their abilities in speaking English.

Hope that the Japanese people would not do what the Chinese people have been doing. Keep your COOL and do NOT do what they are doing to the Japanese Embassy, Japanese businesses and its people.

I never heard of "Bullying" when I was growing up. I wonder what kind of parents do those three kids have?

What a pathetic and irresponsible school officials and teachers are. Fire them all. "Hung them up high"!!

Let me be very frank about the situation! Don't be a sucker ladies! Have you heard "sweet talking jerks"? If you have never been to America or to Europe, you probably are not familiar with those losers. It's pretty common practice to hook young women not because you are beautiful or rich. The guys have their own reasons: wanting to marry because they like to have a residency visa, marriage visa or a citizenship or your MONEY! Google their names and find out as much as you can about them and read about Nigerian 419 or people from that continent. I have heard that some of them are divorced and are collecting money from the Japanese government! Just be careful and don't be a fool and regret.
