Japanese sure are dangerous with kitchen knifes, 99% deadly stabbing rate. Seems best to stay far away from the kitchen if you get into an argument with one.

Japan should send troops to Afghanistan and build businesses. America could use about 40,000 Japanese troops for security purposes, and protection of business.

I have a personal thing about arresting people that shoplift for food, I cannot turn them over to the Police for booking. No one should be hungry, thats just humanity. Hunger and starvation is a natrual force that will turn a person into a theft, killer, or predator to eat.

The father must of did something pretty foul to his daughter when she was a child. I bet she couldn't have a normal relationship with any man because of it. People don't like talking about what really goes on in families in Japan. I guess she got all of her childhood frustrations and pain out by stabbing him at his weak state, like when she was a weak child. Just a speculation..... so read between the lines.

What a shame to be having your personal business exposed to the public. What a hard lesson for Sakai to learn from the school of hard knocks. See getting involved with the wrong people can drag you down. I heard of someone who had to cut a friend off in Japan for doing drugs. The guy just came over the friends house one day and suddently started smoking pot, even offerred it to the friend. After that, the friend never emailed or contacted the other friend again. You have to cut people off that do drugs in Japan, people like Americans and British folks keep trying to justify that its OK to do illegal drugs here because its accepted in there country. This is another country, and people have to respect the rules, it isn't about complainting to change the law so that some drug users will benefit from a high. Sakai is learning a good lesson, and hopefully, her example will make others think deeply about being friends with bad associates and drug users. She put her self in that situation, she can't really blame anyone else but her self, this is a major wake up for many drug users in Japan to break there habit quickly.

How about letting her baby come to America, and then the mother must stay in Japan. Thats how the Japanese immigration does foreigners with babies born in Japan. The Babies a Japanese national, and the father is nothing but a foreigner with no parental rights.

Wilson's comment was disrespectful, if Obama had been white it would not have been said during a speech with Congress. I'm black American, and a lot of my friends are starting to say, "Obama just get out of office! Let whites back in, and people like Bush continue to run the country. America just isn't ready for a black president, there's still to many ignorant people going around that still base things on race. Thank God my parents didn't raise me to be prejudice with that kind of mental sickness, it's just something I can never understand. We just don't want to hear the noise machine and spot light drama! We want peace quiet.

Japan's welfare system dosen't help enough for single parent families. Some people talk bad about America's welfare system, I know to many people that grew up on it, and now they own there own businesses and are successful people. Japan should stop enouraging Japanese to have babies if the government is not going to help support the growth. If Japan wants to become stronger, the government has gotta start giving more tax support to there people. The days of rich Japanese and economy has come to an end years ago. People are going to keep killing there kids because there hopeless, whose going to support an unemployed person with kids? The only way to protect a family is government support, but the Japanese government discriminates and looks down on poor families. At least in America people have a chance with all the free colleges, job training schools, and non-profit organizations to help get rich and poor people to work. No education is free in Japan, accept to join the school of porn.

Obama was called a Liar, because Rep. Joe Wilson is a typical selfish, greedy Republican fool! Federal money won't be given to illegal aliens for health care, it will be worded in the plan. Obama is the only President ever to make an effort to care about Americans health. Its a shame that America has went on this long, not caring for Americans health, while insurance companies got rich and dropped there clients from there plan because you needed a tooth pulled out or surgery. You had to sue the insurance companies many times to abide by there own policy rules to cover your health care cost. The health insurance and medical cost were so high, that I had to go to Mexico and get tooth surgery done for only $100 USD, it would've cost me $5000 in America to pull out an impacted tooth. Insurance companies will not cover these kinds of expensive cost without a fight, even when you've been paying them health care fees for many years. I'm tired of seeing people talk bad about Obama, when Bush drove the country into the ground with war and waste of billions of tax dollars. If it wasn't for Obama stepping in, the whole worlds economy would be wrecked accross the globe.

The 38 year old man that came over to the girls fathers house, and got into an argument with him was real foolish. Most fathers are natrually going to protect there daughter from dating an adult. This man dosen't want his daughter ending up in some porno industry shaming his family name. Many older guys in Japan try to recruit younger girls into that life style. The father was only protecting his daughter from being taken advantage of by some potential child molesting. Even if the 38 year old wasn't a pervert, you never go to the fathers home when he dispproves of you dating his under age daughter, that was a grave mistake. I personally would never meet a father of an under aged girl, your just asking to get stabbed, shot, or punched. Dating an under age girl has to be kept discreet. I'm not saying its OK either, but sometimes real love does happen, absent pervert intentions.

I think there should be some responsibility with a bar that sales drinks, and continues to encourage there customers to buy more until there super drunk. Drinking impairs your thinking abilities and judgement, the bars know that. Some people don't know when to stop drinking, thats why it would be a good idea for a bar attendant to limit drinks when a customer is driving, or as one poster worte, "take away the car keys. If this was law, it could save lifes. I personally wouldn't let a customer drive home, after pumping them up with beer. It isn't morally right to let your customer leave under those circumstances to endanger others or themselves. Anyway, when incidents happen like drunk in driving crashes, new cases come out to prevent more innocent deaths, businesses may have some responsibility to take care of single drunk customers. The Police are just tired of scrapping up human brains off the street.

Drunks aways seem to walk away from a terrible car accident, and kill the people they hit. Mr. Hirai should of called her a taxi cab, what an uncaring bar attendant. He should be held responsible.

I bet this old guy just didn't care about his safety. I've seen some old folks just riding a bike in the middle of a busy street in Shinjuku and not caring if they get hit or not. I'm not saying its all his fault for being hit, but you have to be careful and not trust drivers out here. I always look back and forth before crossing the street. I'm always alert about traffic, because I know people drive real stupid and one tracked minded out here.

The guys that go to these establishments are extremely lonely. They have no social life but work and Beer. Some build an imagination that these girls actually care about them. These girls really exploit these guys feelings, by making them feel wanted by affectionately touching them and putting there heads between there young legs. I guess after she played with this guys heart for months, and made him feel like she loved him, after she dumped him and became destitute, she realized she met the wrong fool! May this be an example for the young girls that enter into this industry, serving beef at Yoshinoya is better then having a stalker crazy after you.

The only arrest and court orders that are enforced immediately, are those against foreigners. This girl didn't have to die if the Police had stepped in to protect her, what good is the Japanese Police? Why do Japanese pay taxes???

I think this Officer should be fired. Some little things are so dumb, that it would be bad for the safety and morals of a department in keep such an individual on the force. There was a Police Officer in America who got fired for sealing a Donnut from a Donnut shop, seems like these are similar incidence. He'll prabably just say sorry and the pervert keeps his job.
