There are no bad students, only bad teachers. "Why are Japanese so bad at English?". Maybe because of so many americans, without proper qualifications, go to Japan thinking about making easy money teaching english...

I have another question. Why are Americans so bad at Japanese? Or french? Or Spanish? Or Rusian? O any other language? Trust me, you are.

In every society there will be people offended by an tv ad that would make a call to complain. Like hardcore Christians or Conservatives in the US. So what?

To be a culture that demand respect, they lack respect for other cultures
Are you talking about americans, right? Because they gather in a JT just to criticize every aspect of japanese culture.

What joke this group is. Over the past few years there have been literally hundreds of excellent films from around the world that have never made it to Japan on the big screen or on DVD.
Now why does that sound familiar? How many of the excellent films from around the world get a US release? One per hundred? One per thousand? Or one per million?

Because we have enough problems with paedophiles in this country!? Why encourage them with these groups of overtly sexual "performers" (artists they are not....) in school uniforms.
Well, they can take the US as an example. With talented artists like Britney Spears. ;-)
