The examples iterated in this piece in Japan are indeed ridiculous. It's amazing how the non-smoking thing is treated by non-smokers here in Japan. I'm a non-smoker but as long as people are not puffing smoke in my face I don't care. Separating smokers from non-smokers on your cell phone is stupid. And what scientific evidence does one person have to say that smokers are losers and have low academic records. How insane! I've never heard non-smokers say anything like that here in the US, not that there isn't but I haven't heard any. The common things people point out is that it's a bad habit, gross, and it shouldn't be done in confined areas with crowds of people. Strange Japan....

I've tried their perfumes and they're okay. There are much better designers for a lot less. Returned the only one I've ever bought because once wearing it all day realized that the scent was getting to me.

Didn't see the documentary, who cares!!!

Sick! Typical of a 3rd world country. Corruption, No Protection Laws, Tons of rapists, etc...These bad characters give the country a bad name. Who wants to go on vacation and spend their money there to help their economy when you hear of such things as this.

Sounds like 2 issues here. Not much of a lead.

In addition to money took "3 Cartons of Cigarettes." Heck, he must be Japanese!!!!

Hw ridiculous. Who says that anyone past 23 is not cute? They have a serious issue with age in this country.

Someone said it best...A Congressional Hearing is just another way for politicians to have more TV Face Time!!!!!

He just had to show up. Now they just have fix the problem ASAP.

Recall that the US government now owns 2 US car companies due to the bailout and because they deal with labor unions, which Toyota does not, it was a way to cater to the unions and perhaps stray people away from buying Toyota and buying US cars. Not a stretch, you think?

WOW what a surprise. They all look the same.

“She was my type of woman.” The common Japanese male answer to why they did it.

pathat-yeah whatever...the Olympics is not Japan; no need for that. His attitude caused him bad karma. He didn't deserve a medal.

Yeah Shaun White!!!! USA!!!!

What a loser perv.

@CaptainPanchira-Well, maybe they should. This most certainly would diminish the problem. A good slap in the face or kick where it hurts. To allow this and not do anyhting about it is absolutely stupid.

Does he even know how to hold a child? The girl is looking at him like "Who the hell are you?"

Well, isn't it also an obligation for the guy on White Day?

It's a Japanese custom and it isn't hurting anyone so I think it's okay.

Praised for being "wild and really tough." What a ridiculous statement. Yes, that's what I want to be known for; not!

Zero Coke's are as bad as Zero Pepsi's. Come on, you can still taste that awful sacrin sugar-like after taste.

Stabbings do seem to eb the preferred choice in Japan. Doesn't surprise me about the mental illness part. This seems to be mentioned for most reported stabbers.

No one knows this guys history so making unsubstantiated deductions as to how this man came to do this is stretching it. He lost it and stabbed a kid. Trying to make sense of a criminal mind is senseless. Why would you want to understand it. You can't even if the real reason was given.

Poor kid. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Those Japanese males (and females) have very coarse hair which allows them to style it like animated characters and it stays put.

I didn't realize how coarse till I went to a salon in Japan and was asked by all the stylists if they could touch my hair. Cute guys wanting to touch my hair; I said Yes! of course.

I think his hair looks kind of cool but the couple does look freakish in this photo. Don't know anything about them.

Sick. Don't think you can rehabilitate this compulsion.

Wait! Isn't there a Japanese Animation called "Perfect Blue." Not the same story line though.

Somewhat of a spoiler I guess; I saw the episode. He spoke mostly Japanese with a translator. He looked good though.

Lost this season has a better feel than "others"(no pun intended); I meant the other Lost seasons. Has more of supernatural take. Hopefully, it will have a better ending than other series where every season is good till the end; usually the writers mess it up.

This isn't about which car company is better or not. Boils down to high demands and over production; putting them out as fast as they can. Eventually, quality pays the price. Someone dropped the ball here. At least they are doing the right thing.

Feel sorry for Mr. Akio Toyoda that has to take the blunt of all criticism. I could understand if this had gone on for years and they knew about it. I'm being optimistic here and giving them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't.

Can't imagine having a baby in a uspermarket restroom. Yuck! Poor baby.

It was a hit and run so just find the perpetrators and be done with it. Who cares whether they are foreigners or not. It doesn't matter, they killed people.

For some reason in these types of situations the man/woman that wants to or should die never is successful in committing suicide. Absolutely, gutless! Not to mention he thought it out waiting till 4 pm that day to go to the police to confess. Couldn't come up with anyway to get away with this.

Geez, the mental problems this girl is going to have from this. Pathetic!

If the brain cells are dying then what else would a pot head say; "This is actually a medicinal plant. Legalize it, Let's all be happy!" Come on, mostly people who smoke MJ or take drugs are the ones who think it's okay. Most of those whom I've know or met that smoke MJ or take drugs are way out there weird.

I think it makes sense to have such a rally to promote good judgement towards awareness and not taking drugs.

You're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. So, just go with what feel's the right thing to do. There was even a Haitain saying look at those Americans already taking over the Hospital. All this would be necessary if they could handle their own mess i.e, looting and other crimes but it's obvious they cannot.

Perhaps!

No Victoria Secrets that's for sure...Think they could ahve done a better job in choosing lingerie that actually complemented her body because this one sure doesn't.
