pay them enough bribe money and they'll conveniently overlook their morals. Indonesia is already a lost cause of corrupted morals, but not the youth. The government and police are so embedded in corruption. Leave the kids alone.

Great! What's even greater is seeing people getting really irate about this, makes for good comedy.

torture doesn't work. what's next? do you support terrorist acts to stop terrorists? I'm afraid to think a lot of people would say yes.

Cognitive skills are not just hand eye coordination. Dimensions, textures etc all very important. A glass screen is no substitute for crayons and paper or rattle.

Bet he's gutted being "ashamed and extremely remorseful" wasn't sufficient and he still got a prison term. Maybe he should have said he was drunk and had no recollection.

Don't worry fellow foreigners, I'm doing it for all of you. Even the 90% of you who don't want to paint yourselves with glitter and dance semi naked through Kamakura. The brave minority will repair our tarnished image for all of us!

Nudgenudge, I understand your explanation. As a foreigner I wish I coukd walk through the streets of my town without stares and whispers. I'll dye my hair pink and wear a bikini to the supermarket tomorrow. That'll do it.

If people want to pursue alternative sexuality, good for them. If people want to dance around the streets in their underwear, good for them. Don't see the connection between the two though.

being different makes you a minority. people in small towns can be less intolerant. perception of ethnic groups are based on education and tolerance.

Too late. Unavoidable. Was a matsuri outside my house last night, full of teki-poi yatai selling yakuza funding chocolate bananas. Simply can't avoid them, embedded too deep into almost every aspect of society.

I go to the supermarket once a week too but don't get 10,000 yen from my family for my shopping. I'm more independent than he is. Then again I wear clothes so I'm disqualified.

fashion....what goes around comes around. during the great depression any old trousers and slip on shoes had to do. only the rich could afford luxuries like spats and socks. this toaster is going for the rich post-chaplinesque look. it's ahot look now apparently, the internetz told me.

the guy talking about the bad cops had a really annoying voice! kasami kong sounds suited to radio but don't invite that other one again, grating.

Japan is not a democratic nation. Regarding Ishihara, I don't like to speak ill of the dead or worse wish death for the living, but sometimes, sometimes...

Not in any significant way, no. A certain minority of people are pre-disposed to violence and any factor can be a trigger for them. Blaming movies is an argument used by the weak minded and ignorant.
