Being female in Japan. I'm always looked down on and my opinions are discarded! If you're married and get insurance, it's through your husband...and as a spouse you are treated as a dependent.

@ mrkobayashi, so true. It's like that with any country. It really depends ho patriotic and ignorant the other individual about different locations. Some people just live in bubbles. Oh well.

No Japan, you're not as cool as you think you are. First you ask for opinions and criticism and then bitch and moan about them. And Tai iced coffee/tea is better!

...no no no, no comparison to the actual Kate Beckinsale!

Japan needs to get over the Godzilla mentality...and look at other nations that had these disasters and learn from them, like Chernobyl. Also stop victimizing themselves...and separate themselves from the sheep that keep jumping off of cliffs... Radioactive snow? You'd think that these people were educated enough to have common sense? I guess all that schooling and cram school was for show? Damn people...

On a brighter note. I wonder how much is that land worth up there? Hum I think I wanna buy. ;P

Japan always likes to keep that whole "I'm right you're wrong" facade, or "we're perfect we didn't do anything wrong", when the evidence is staring them in the face. It's a known historical fact. Hell, even now...

...ok what's up with Japan and finding dead people in their apartments?! And kids. A lot of what I"ve been reading has to do with finding dead kids...or dropped from high places...etc....

The tabloid also said that Nakajima’s flatmate is a mystic woman who has gained control over her mind.

What? lol...

tmarie > I'm not! I'm all for females taking over but she can't handle a few boys at school running around her. How on earth could she deal with being the "head" of the country. She's shatter like a glass. No thanks."

How about they actually teach their girls to fight back and stand up for themselves instead of being "modest, dainty, frail, etc"....How about they actually give some women respect and rights? Then it'll be a different story. In Japan in an early age the boys are taught that they're gods gifts to the world while girls are put down. So I'm not surprised that the princess can't fend for herself.

Just what I observe.

LOL their dogs name is Yuri, lol! Nobody else finds this funny?...

@ gaijinfo, no they probably wouldn't... I've seen this time and time again when a person passes out at a club or at the street others leave them be. The don't even check for a pulse. If the individual is bleeding...they scream bloody murder, and maybe 1 out of 20 would actually do something other then scream, and that is call an ambulance.

But I actually saw a woman smack a by-passer cuz well appearently he was "leering at her"....all he did was nod and smile. I was the witness....

Don't kill him sure...let him rot in jail and pay for him to stay in jail through taxes. He gets free food, free medical, etc...while you pay for yours. BUT THEN you turn around and complian about paying high taxes???

...how is this going to halt radiation? Concrete doesn't halt radiation...lead and copper does....to some extent. And the radiation ALREADY spread, so "blocking" it off now won't do a god damn thing. Who are these retards and how the hell did they get their degrees? Hum?

Oh wait...if there's an alternative motive for this...then yes...sure...why not...

I just think if you are going to be visiting any country you should do a little research on their etiquette and policies. Kind of a polite thing to do, no? As far as Japanese individuals not considering foreigners living there to be "Japanese" even if they have their papers...I can understand that. I'm a US citizen, born in Belarus. Been here for 14+ years. Some people still call me foreigner. People still look at me oddly when I start speaking Russian or any other Slavic language. I still get that “communist” comment…even tho Belarus isn’t part of Russian… (it’s like calling a Chinese person Japanese…never call a Belarusian individual Russian)

You don't need to fully adapt...just compromise. I also hear a lot of American’s talking about the middle eastern women's clothing. "Those Muslims. This is America...if they wanted to keep dressing like that...they should have just stayed in Iran" (yes...I know that Muslim is a religion...this is a quote...)

Eveybody has double standards. Just sayin'.

...anybody that kills a child like that should be offed w/out a court ruling. I'm just surprised that nobody noticed this boy's actions before he killed anybody. I mean didn't the guardians, teachers, or even friends not notice something?

I just can't believe you people. Discriminating against the old and being 50 isn't old... Before jumping into conclusions the full story needs to be obtained. An investigation preformed. The truck driver could have been the cause of the accident.
