@crustpunker, to be honest I dont think that boy were a normal boy.

I dont understand that police get involved in problems of these kind. This kind of problems, like many others minor offenses, should been solved for the people by their own, maybe with the support of their own family and friends.

Anyway there is something that need to be recognized, there are people that mentally unstable or weak, that any could be a good reason to kill himself. I remember when I was in school that bulling was common, but no one killed himself, and most of them learned how to face it with honor and courage. What is failing here is not the institutions but the culture.

It seems that what Abe wants go against the japanese society want. So, how can Abe believe that he have the right to go against the people will?

I think, really the economic problems in Japan and in the developed world won’t be solved by generating more salarywomen. It have to do with other kind of forces in the complex international economic system. I think the oversupply of workforce, the overproduction of goods and the lack of money to buy all that can be produced with all the present technology address the problem better.

“Even if I help with the housework, she’s not satisfied; she makes like she’s the only one whose working!” This is why I think a wife should have clear since the beginning that she should work only if happens that she have enough time besides doing the housework.

It would be better if he would have bought them.

LFRAgain, talking about your comment, and based on what he did, I really dont think Muyarama could work his evil in other ways in society; surely he could work his evil with his offspring but I dont think he could do it outside this sphere.

In the second world war happened worst things and noone is asking for compensations. Much less too many years later.

Everyone knows how much can bear and why they do it. For me the point is easy, the problems inside a family are private, and they are who need to solve their problems if they decide to do it and when they are ready for it. No one should opine except their relatives about DV; especially not the state, unless there is a homicide or something extremely serious.

Respect privacy is essential, but only one thing could be really extremely rotten in relation with this topic, and it is in the case that happened that the state decided to give a special protection to women over men. Clearly, even if state were blind to gender it would be wrong let it violate family privacy, but if besides it doesn’t give the same treatment to men and women, it is just scandalously unacceptable.

Its sick, but some comments make me think that its proper to say that neither its correct an excessive punishment only for molesting someone (obviously in this case there were unlawful intrusion too). But we need be conscious that there is far far distance between molest someone and rape someone as there is far distance between rape someone and kill someone.

I think that the anime until 2008 and the anime after 2008 are very diferent things. The anime have been turning in something worse and its popularity have been decreasing in the last years.

These kind of laws are stupid; its ridiculous give that importance to these trifles

He is only behaveing like a teenager

I think decorum is a symptom more than a cause of something. Decorum joined with other moral values are in direct correlation with the importance and seriousness is given to the family in a certain society and the familys strenght itself, and it is easy provable; but the reason behind this correlation is complex because have to do with all the culture.

@Jim Poushinsky you are so naive; destruccion is not about people, is about interests, necessity and human nature. Look at the story in all the world and you wont find many women with much power, but between them you ll see the same coldness, cruelty, lies and power desire, that you can find among the men with equivalent power. If men are more agressive is because men always have had more power and you cannot have power if you not have the features associated with masculinity no matter your gender. I see many times in conflicts, that men stay calm while women act violent (other thing is that women have less strenght and it minimize the damages) and I ve seen women fight between them in ways of incredible dishonest and ruthless.

I was thinking of this and it was very clear; the more intense love in no way have to mean any of this list. The way to express the love is cultural, all are different and have their particularly customs. Its a fact that a boy that do many of this list could be totally less in love than other that dont do any of this, but other things more attached to their own culture. And honestly, if japanese culture werent as great as it is, wouldnt be the most popular and prestigious culture in most of the world.

Its good be nationalist, but people must keep always cool head, and analize serenely different kinds of options for negotiate, assessing objectively pros and cons. For example, time ago there were territories disputes between Rusia and China, but them decided to solve it, in order to bring closer these two nations, increase the coperation and help between them,and get other comercial and economics benefits for some agreements signed by them in goodwill. Since this point of view it could be seen more like a card for negotiation in relation with other many important interests.

Its only my point of view, but western world is in a multifaceted crisis, which Asia have been able to avoid; it would be stupid the possibility of deteriorate the winning streak of Asias countries, for be fighting between them for problems generated of nothing, that not benefits noone, but maybe western countries like USA.

The first thing that I find curious here is that the article takes the fact of the increase of international marries with japanese girls, focusing in talk about why japanese girls can be interested in foreigners; when we all know that the boys are who have the iniciative in the court and decide to go to a foreign country with the express desire of marry a japanese girl. The reason to see more japanese girls in relations with foreign men is because foreign men are struggling hard to get a japanese girl. I could say that japanese girls are maybe one of the most desired women in the world, and not only for the beauty they have, but because occidental people see in japanese women, these strong traditional values that teach the girls how must be a girl and a good one; unfortunately and dangerously these values have been wrongly and absurdly harmed in occidental developed nations and here is one of their colateral, in other cases terribles, consecuences. Of course I dont telling that there arent many occidental girls with a similar kind of traditional values, but the problem is that the number have decreased dramatically in the last 10 years as a result of stupid and harmful feminist policies of occidental goverments. The consecuences of it have been that bad, that the decline of occident, even the expansion of men without scrupols, are consecuence in big part of it

What I admire more of japanese marriages, as far as I know, is that even though they like and look for love, they dont depend of it in order of build a strong marriage, that is based in commitment, responsability, sense of duty, devotion and clear, well acepted and rigid rules that let trust and build to the future. Besides I appreciate too that the job of woman its really clear (more clear, clean and admired than in some occidental countries) serve and make happy the family, control the money, be service minded, take desitions inside the house, but in other hand let herself be easily leaded by her husband in all the big and trasecendent matters. While the husband in other hand, can concentrate in work with all his force, without worries and having clear that his family always will be there.

And talking about the "advices" for conquer a japanese girl, I ll say 3 things:

First, as I said before, these kind of attentions are cool but they are not that much essential in marriage, what is really essential is what makes a man reliable.

Second, as we can see these are things that made different persons, noone of them do all the list, each of them have their strong points.

Third, I think that is not complicated make some of these points, even more I m sure that some of them are natural and spontaneous for many people when they are in love with a girl.

The goverment need to be very prudently and cautious in this matters. In my opinion, I think right now in 3 aspects:

First, boys must learn to defend theirselves, is a have to for everyone; And must exist the idea that if you fight with courage and honour, even if you lose the fight, you ll gain respect.

Second, indoors, the school can set rules, discipline and can prohibit quarrels, but cant intervene in what happen outside the school.

Third, cops can stop quarrels and even in some cases give soft punishments, like arrest all ones for hours until parents come to take them, but not more. In cases where the life is in risk, could think in other possibilities but always keeping in mind the principle of being moderate and the less intrusive possible.

In the end, if the boys acquire the ability to solve their problems alone, it ll be one million better than if someone else want to solve their problems for them.

ojiiu812badboy, the day the girls win against men you ll be able to say that the girls are higher qualified.

Im totally agree, these girls have earned an award for effort and that we (even not japanese people) are proud of the effort that these beautiful girls have done in the camp; that award could be to come back in business seats or what ever; but it is ridiculios and ofensive the way some occidental people not mind their own business and criticize what japanese do or leave to do. There are many reasons to understand why it can happen and all of them can be valid.

For example, iif a man play football in a professional way, always fly in business seats and besides generate a lot of money because his position in the professional major league (fame, etc), you cant send him in economy class; in other hand a girl that is participating in a tournment like an amateur or college league sportwoman, that doesnt generate money and where girls are not used to luxuries, you could opt to send her in a economy class without problems. Besides japanese are strict with the male or female rols, in some things men have preference, but in other kind of things women have it. Japanese have clear that the rol of women is become excelents wifes, mothers and housewifes, and surely they invest a lot in girls in this direction and as it doesnt have nothing to do with what is complained here, it is not a problem of lack of interest or invest in girls, the girls have their spaces where have their advantages, but in other contexts.

Personally I love the "sexism" when it is well understood, like in Japan or other conservative societies, and i m sick of these ideologies about equality of men and women and tired of the tend of feminists to quarrel for anything. Im sure that this ideology have damage a lot the occidental society. Really, if you want so much equality send the women to compete with men and see what they can do.
