At no point did I, or even attempt to, belittle anyone's opinions. Perhaps you should go back and read MY posts. Although I disagree, I thank you for your honest opinion and reasoning. As for the "laywer", american bengoshi I presume, he/she offered nothing to this discussion.
That's it? Seven enlightening words from all those years of law school to contribute to our discussion and make our society a better place? Perhaps you should listen more to those of us who care about this issue enough to offer more, and less to those with "titles" who throw out one-liners.

No, I don't have that impression. I beleive that there were reasons why most nations established legal systems that punish minors and adults in different ways. I am still not convinced that the severity of the crime should determine which one of those two categories the accused should fall into. If 20 years old is no longer applicable for Japan, then it should be changed - not determined on a case-by-case basis.
I've done enough "research" already. I was interested to hear the opinions of those two posters. If you care to chime in - fine. But if you do so, I'd like to hear YOUR opinion on the issue supported by YOUR reasoning. Don't try to educate me by suggesting I do "research."

EbiChiri, your comment would be quite spooky with the Twilight Zone theme as BGM.

Why? He is a minor. If a 23 year-old commits what YOU consider to be a "childish" offense, can that person be tried as a minor?
I'm fascinated to hear what you base your expert legal opinions on? Emotion, I suspect.

I didn't think the movie was that bad. RC was good.
Seems like ages ago I saw it, though...

I've just lost respect for one of my favorite brands. Adidas have cool people representing them all over the world - except Japan.

I think facebook is a great tool to catch up with long lost relatives/friends. That's all I need it for, though. The mundane/pointless daily updates are just silly.

OK, I see. So for those of us who send messages (not novels) without photos etc, they're exactly the same.

I still don't the difference between emailing and texting. Isn't it the same?

I just noticed that DVD/Video player actually has 5 votes. One would assume that a TV is more important considering without it your DVD/Video player would by somewhat, er.. useless?!

@kujiranikusuki
..was what spurred my interest in the topic. I never said I didn't find computers useful, but rather wanted to remind posters that not all of us (the ancient, abnormal ones according to you) rely on them for, well, almost everything.

Love him or hate him, you can't deny that he has been a huge star for the last 10 years. If I were able to scam millions of dollars out of Japanese housewives, I would.

Michi: Where the hell did they come from??
Aki: Dunno. Maybe someone gave 'em to us.
Michi: Are you sure, Aki? They look kinda old...
Aki: Mmm... I think your right, Michi.
Michi: It's amazing we never noticed them before.
