    Burakumin discrimination is a testament to human nature. Humans will find ANY excuse to malign each other. In the absence of people who are different, they will create those differences amongst themselves. Those with power will be exalted, those without will be cast aside. One wonders though a few things: Were cooks considered burakumin too, because they handled the butcher's meat too or were they somehow exempt? Second, undertakers were Burakumin, right? I wonder how the Burakumin haters feel about Okuribito's success? Anyway not Google's fault that Japanese people decided to make these maps in the first place. Certainly not thier fault that people use it to deny others thier humanity.

    I still suspect the surviving son. 1. His hands were simply tied behind his back, though with a little practice and some flexibility one could do that on thier own. 2. His wound could be self inflicted, I mean who can't reach the back of their neck? The motive to inflict such a wound on himself is to make his lie more believeable. Why, if the assailant was looking for money, was the son's wallet intact? Why wasn't the house tossed looking for some secret stash? Why go through the trouble to hide the mom and kill the cat? One could probably say that the son told the assailant where the money was and therefore didn't have to toss the place, but the son says he lost conciousness almost right away only hearing the demand for money. Too many questions and holes in his story. Check to see if he took out a life insurance policy on his mom.

    TexasAggie- Most students who go to college have some form of government aid. This is to even the playing field a little for those that don't have silver spoons. teleprompter- more alarmist drivel from you? Pray tell, what is Obama's grand design that you see so clearly?

    Smith: Right on. Thus defeated, teleprompter disappears from this thread, to slink in despair into his anti-Obama bunker waiting for his next chance to express his venom against his nemesis. I swear man, everything Obama does according to teleprompter is evil. Makes it difficult to take him seriously. Obama is moving in the right direction on the science front. If you want to moralize it, where in the Bible does it say that obtaining of knowledge is wrong? I've never seen that verse myself.

    Uh, how are Al Sharpton and Obama "friends"? Any proof? Anyway, "Live by the gun, die by the gun." No one can pick up a lethal weapon designed for killing many people, then complain when they get cut down. Teens or no. When I was 16 I knew that.

    teleprompter- You DO realize that this month people are still paying Bush's taxes? They're a little early. And since when is a grassroots protest funded by Exxon execs? I'm glad people are voicing their opinion. I just wish they would have done that BEFORE or at least during the time Bush gave away that surplus with his "fuzzy math" (remember that one?). I wonder if the posters who believe it's unconstitutional to pay taxes were the same ones screaming that Obama's first treasury pick didn't pay his.

    nisegaijin- Because most of them benefit from the sweat and labor of their subordinates who get paid a fixed wage even if the businesses that they are at the front lines of - customers rarely meet owners - are doing fantastic. They are the first to go once business goes sour, while CEOs routinely get multi-million dollar severance. This is all legal. The system overwhelmingly favors the rich. Why shouldn't they pay into the system more? Instead, it seems you would like the people who don't benefit from the system, who in fact often get screwed by it- to pay the rich people's share too. Work harder you say? My mom worked 3 jobs 7 days a week for years even when she was sick in order to buy a home and pay for my brother's college. BTW she never got rich. Her companies' CEOs however, were rich and showed up to work once a week at the most. How much more should she have worked? I know of many more hardworking families who never made over 40k a year, unable to expand because the system screwed them. I know you probably don't want to hear it, but discrimination plays a role in this too. You can't get rich if the system says you can't. Equal education, equal jobs and equal pay are but a few elements needed for the "land of opportunity" to cease being a misnomer. All I'm saying is the rich should pay their share. After all, they owe it to their country whose system has benefitted them so.

    Why should the rich pay the least amount of taxes proportionately? Shouldn't those who benefit the most from America's economic structure pay the most? The top 20 percent owns over 80 percent of all wealth. They own the lion's share of America, why shouldn't they pay the lion's share of taxes? JoeBigs- right on. I have followed the money, and it leads straight to China, who owns a huge amount of American bonds- to pay for the wars Bush wanted while he cut taxes. Hey, the money had to come from somewhere- and Saudi Arabia, who Bush asked for the funds that ended up being used for the first bailout that he spearheaded. I love these people who want to say stuff like they can't pass on the debt to the children, and they were all smiles when Bush cut thier taxes and waged 2 expensive billion dollar/month wars. WHO did they think would pay!? Obama's just asking the rich to do their fair share of paying, and people are angry. I don't get it.

    Teleprompter- are you saying that black people in general or black politicians specifically are not adults... Either way getting tired of your suggestive comments.

    One must not forget the most important fact of the Boston Tea Party: The participants dressed up like Native Americans, pigmenting their skin even, to throw suspicion onto the Natives should the king decide to retaliate. They were cowards who would frame others in fear of the kings wrath.

    LOL. A Repub talking to someone about fiscal responsibility. Bush was so responsible. You didn't see him flying chefs anywhere. I mean, he took that surplus Clinton left him and increased it tenfold, and everybody has jobs, right? Yeah. Back to reality. If Bush could string together sentences on his own, they'd pay him that kinda money too for his book. The right seem to want instant results to fix 8 years of their mistakes and greed, and any economist will tell you that's impossible.

    sydenham- 2 contained outbreaks does not a cesspool make. Porn stars have to go through rigorous testing in America to make sure they are disease-free. Very rarely does one slip through. You only know of 2 cases. Planes crash more often. There are more cases where doctors performing blood transfusions mess up with tainted blood or wrong blood types, in first world countries no less. "Forgive?" How pretentious. what did she do to YOU that you refuse to grant your illustrious forgiveness?

    Northlondon-Who better to teach about sex ed than one who does it for a living? From that logic, one shouldn't study medicine with a doctor as a teacher because they do it for a living. Think about it, would you ask a vegetarian how to cook meat? Or closer to the subject, a priest the hows and whys of sex and condom use? Many people on this site myself included have obtained at least some knowledge from AV movies, so why the disrespect?

    "Why not just look on them with the scorn and pity they deserve, instead of letting them into your brain? You don't need them." Wish I could, but these are the same wastes of space that because they thought I was inferior- no doubt taught this through the racial stereotypes they cling to - they thought it was their right to violate my person. Breaking heads is tiring. I've also encountered these kind of idiots in managerial positions above me, who thought they could cheat me out of equal pay for equal work, and tried to work me 7 days a week and only pay me for 6. I can't afford to just silently pity these people. Not when their racism affects my life and freedoms.

    "I 'know' lots of stereotypes about the Japanese (mainly from the 'wisdom' imparted on JT) - but I also know better than to believe any of it." Good for you. I'm genuinely glad to hear that. Though the key is you don't believe any of it. Again it is not the simple knowledge of the stereotypes that bothers me. It is when one BELIEVES it to be FACT and acts accordingly. It has been my experience that those who buy into one stereotype, buy into others. I didn't just choose to see "fried chicken" as an insult, that veiw was foisted upon me by racists. "[I]f it were accompanied by some ignorant slob snarling 'honkie' or 'whitey', it immediately becomes an insult." Why? Why do these particular words get your recognition as insults but "fried chicken" does not? They all have harmless origins- even the N word has a innocuous etymology- but what they mean now when addressing certain people is insulting.

    I would ignore it, if people didn't believe in it. You see, stereotypes usually come wholesale. If you believe one, you are more likely to know and believe the others. Seeing as the times the fried chicken insult was hurled at me the N word always accompanied it solidifies my point. It never behooves one in a job interveiw for the potential boss to think they are sub-human, or in an airport for the security to assume criminality based on skin color. I've lived through these things. It is because these stereotypes went unchallenged that I had to experience these things. Silence is tacit approval. I understand your point about the Tokyo Sushi Bar et al, but one might find all those restaurant names stereotypical and racist. It was not their intention to insult sure, but they cannot claim they did not wish to perpetuate the stereotype. Thus, they have contributed to a culture's malignment, unintentional though it may be. Road to Hell and all that.

    Don't be absurd. No one calls black people "fried chicken" and you know that. The insult is in the stereotype that fried chicken and watermelons are ALL black people eat, degrading us by lumping us all in a stupid little box, the same one that says that we are somehow inferior. Cleo appearently hasn't spent any significant amount of time in the states if she doesn't get it. Americans know the significance. Since I personally have had this insult directed at my person, I can tell you this is as serious as being called the N word. It's the same as saying Japanese only eat sushi, or Italians can't touch anything without tomato sauce, or Jews only eat bagels. You get it now? It's prejudice.

    Dubya, telepromter, sharky- What exactly would happen if gays and lesbians have the right to marry? Would it destroy your own marriages? What would possibly happen that would affect you? You can't just say "because I said so", there should be some reason. Oh and it has to affect you and your freedoms none of this "it's better for them" crap.
