The Brazilian player clearly made a racist gesture, which can be easily recognized even by ten year old kids, during the professional game and someone still says he BELIEVES the player wasn't being racist or is not a racist. I can't find any logic in his argue. I really can't.

And no one was physically hurt so let it go? REALLY?

@HonestDictator Wrong comparison. The misslie was launched toward the sky not toward JP. It flew over above 700km and how was it deemed to be aiming at JP? Where else direction can they shoot their fireworks then? That high altitude space area doesn't even belong to Japan.

Also, no one is naive here enough to believe that NK is the only country pointing a loaded weapon to their neighbors. Someone is being here in far east Asia all the way from across the Pacific to aim thier fully loaded guns to whoever around.

I'm not a NK sympathizer but don't want to be a brainwashed hypocrite either.

If only US promises they won't invade NK, the situation might change but who is going to be naive enough to trust that promise?

He is a funny guy. What can he possibly do without big brother's permission anyway?

Westerners will never be able to understand Japanese thoughts anyway no matter how long they live in Japanese, even with their Japanese partners because they are not real Japanese. I'm not sure how their offsprings would turn out to be though.

I meant they haven't after the Korean war.

I've believed US has contributed to the peace of world and protection of human right in other countries but it is not easy to cast out doubts US could also be a big threat to the peace of world. NK might be sounding belligerent and 'challenging' but they didn't invade other countries in a full scale at least. Who is talking about being morality?

Guys, when the car has to be parked on shoulder of highway, always get out of the car and stay there until the issue is sorted out, day or night. To your surprise, this kind of accident happens all the time and experts advice never stay in the car when it is broken down on the highway. If you, or your family are really reluctant to leave the car because it's dark, raining, cold outside, good luck then.

Please don't blame those unemployed. They already are going through a very hard time. What they need are not ridicule and contempt but encouragement.

In other words, Japan is American territory.

@Reckless

You got it wrong. When they say their potential partners have to have their house ready, it usually, and mostly, means he needs be cable of paying off the house himself. It is not like 'He doesn't have his stuffs in order.' as you speculated.

I also second many others' idea that he made the right decision.

Time has changed and people also are changed. The traditions itself also can't stay the same as it used to be anymore. You might have to ask young Japanese whether they take it seriously or not first. If they don't anymore, then that's it. No matter how many Westerners have a outrageous fantasy in samurai swords or not. It is totally up to them.

Who is this advice for? It's like reading a textbook. It's gonna be hard anyway regardless I know all that or not.

Yes, it usually takes three people to run a mortar. The picture must have captured a site of training.

There it comes how US wants Japan to be a barrier against China to access the Pacific. Or was it initially intended to block off the Russians? The Pacific doesn't belong to anyone either.

Come to think of it, I don't seem to be aware of any movies staring a black protagonist with his/her white advisor or guide angel whatever. Interesting..

No country is above other countries.

Sequel of 'Grave of the fireflies' which was bashed hard by Asian neighbors for its self-pitying air regardless it had been intended or not?

@Dirk T There still are lots of Koreans who want reunification. I also know some of them can't care less about their neighbors predicament, just trying to avoid talking about the issue. What a sad world.

Too nice to be attractive? What the.. This actually reminds me of my ex-GF who told me you're too nice to me before she left. More than 10 years have passed since but I still don't get it.

American government can ban their people from visiting NK and stay out of headache or get sort of pledges signed from the travelers.

Don't need to force everyone to study English for several years. It might be handy if you could speak other languages but it's not really a must for a happy life. For someone, it might be just big waste of time.

@Gokai There were some people arguing the London building fire tragedy was a terror attack in the beginning. Let's not make a groundless assumption yet.

Who doesn't agree with capitalism here? They can spend their own money in whatever way they want unless it harms other's right. Can't they?

Please.. don't.

It is easy enough for me to understand the sign. People seem to be feeling uncomfortable with their obscene direct depiction of genitals, especially the female's. Too shy to look at it?

They didn't have to mention about her appearance though. It sounded inappropriate to me too.

I hope she comes back to her family safely unhurt.

@Strangerland I agree with you on ' I drink to get drunk.' part. Lots of people blew their caps when I mentioned that there is not something delicious about beer or any alcoholic beverages for me and tried to educate me about the various taste or difference in them. I tried lots of beers from different countries and I drink their own beer whenever I travel there or travel on their national airliners. They were still all similar in my opinion.

But people would feel better if you kindly look back and tell them that you're gonna put back the seat a bit. People all know that the seats are designed to lean back but also understand the economy class is narrow and tight so mutual consideration is much needed than other classes. One good smile would ease lots of tension there.

Eventually, yes, utilizing AI. AI is functioning in various field already and evolving in much faster pace than people can speculate.
