yuuuuuuuuuck!!! what a gross way to start the morning.

@belachan- good point. Me too. I wonder if there was any paranormal activity?

or maybe they shouldnt outsource it at all.

made in china.....sigh.... 1600 bucks (roughly), that is one expensive moped!

what? an illegal chinese immigrant in Japan? well thats a first.

zenny, good idea- A person who has not attained maturity or the age of legal majority.

and what is the classification breakdown of the word CHILDREN???????

"Problem is most people group them all as pedophilia these days." THAT'S the problem??? the WORD?

expensive. a racket industry for more than 50 years.

@fishy-I agree. Believe me, I am all smiles and nods at work. I just listen and pour. I am ranting my frustrations here, to foreigners. Never in me bar.

@bicultural- my customers range from salarymen to Uni students to small business owners to college professors to retirees to unemployed blokes doing job training at the local job office. They all sing the same tune. Unhappiness due to marriage or no marriage, taxes too high to no money at all, no mates to bad mates. Drunk or sober, day i day out, they are ALL responsible for their own lives and can change what the dont like at any time, No excuses. This is real life mates in Japan. Not opinions based on news articles. A @junnama- Im a bar OWNER mate, my 2 bartenders work beside me. What do you own? besides a computer and spare time?

Look mates, I have lived here for 10 years-moved from Australia. This sight was recommended by a customer. I own me own bar and spend 6 nights a week listening to Japanese men tell me there problems and talking about whats wrong with this country. I dont need to listen to a couple of tossers who live their bloody lives vicariously through internet articles telling me what the status quo is in Japan. This society whines like children and if they got of their bloody a@@es instead of complaining about how they dont fit in, or how they cant find a girlfriend or a mate, they would be able to have anything they want. Get off the internet, go out and have a conversation mate, get a real idea of what people are thinking and quit trying to bloody pose as being "in the know" because you read and breathe every article the minute its published. The world is not a websight mates.

@ Zenny- no Kato was out to raise some hell. I am out to stop people sympathizing trying to find reasons. @tko-your opinion sounds straight off the pages of an editorial written by someone looking at numbers from the comfort of their warm chair. Get out and hit the pavement. Look around. Talk to people. I work in the Entertainment industry and talk to a hundred different people a week about their situation from behind a bar. And 99 percent of them are easily changeable with a positive attitude and elbow grease. Sympathize, Empathize, Excuse all you want and perpetuate the problem. Its the difference between real life experience/human contact and learning all you know from web articles and newspapers.

@Borat- yeah, child porn- naked pictures of underage girls- now I get it. funny.

@junnama-maybe its time they started. its easier than ever. And That is NONSENSE that the young have very little opportunity. AAAAAhhh utter B.S.! There is heaps and heaps of opportunity if they would get off their lazy a@@es and stop complaining about it. Opinions like yours add to the problem. Stop being a part of the problem and be a part of the solution. This country is the so easy and tame. "people dont feel frustration relative to...blah blah..." I am so sick of weak people making weak excuses. The world IS global. OPEN YOUR EYES.

It is EXACTLY this type of self centered, the word revolves around us, there is nothing outside our small little reality, narcissistic attitude that perpetuates the declination of this once strong and glorious culture. There is NOTHING difficult in Japan that a positive attitude and a "can do" spirit wont overcome. You cant say that about any of the aforementioned places and hundreds more. This weakness and those that sympathize with it represents everything that revolts me.

add- Unemployment is everywhere in the world.

@smorkian- nothing is "understand" when its in black and white. Subsequently, you think people have it hard in Japan today compared to their Grandparents in post WW2 Japan? you need to get out and talk to more Japanese people. There are jobs all over. Everyday I see help wanted signs in convenience store windows and Mcdonalds for 1000 yen an hour. They have a roof over their head and food in their stomachs that their parents provide. And they dont benefit at all by bleeding hearts pampering their laziness. Unemployment is everywhere. No excuses. Japan is rich, pampered society. And so is everyone on this thread, myself included.

"Perhaps never anywhere has it been so difficult to be young as it is in today’s Japan." ARE YOU SERIOUS? this is ACTUALLY in writing? Tell that to the young people in Nigeria, Sudan, Uganda. Say that outrageous statement sentence to the young in North Korea, Iraq, the Gaza strip, Albania, Afghanistan...The list goes on and on. This country is a PARADISE! oh no I dont have a job. Oh no I dont have a girlfriend. Oh no I am not normal or cool in the eyes of the people around me....Boooo hoooo. You dont wake every morning wondering if your house will be shelled. You dont wake every morning wondering if your neighbors or family disappered in the dead of night. You dont wake to the footsteps of guerrilla soldiers raping your village. You dont wake up to ethnic cleansing. The AUDACITY of that statement makes me wish for a natural catastrophe to give some perspective of how bad it can actually get..

"informed" on a "variety" of topics? interests are where desire lay. Dirtbags are dirtbags, calling it education or a quest for information is a transparent mask.

Everyone is against an award when they have never won one.

but were they tastefully artistic?

Well, with the expertise only a director of Blues Clues can offer on the subject of what we all should fear, I will consider the matter seriously.

The Kings Speech was a great. BBC version of a "bro"mance.

Maybe they had already doe their job...
