Or people riding their bikes on the street. I just want to toss that bell into traffic that I have walk in because they feel it's their side walk to ride their bike on.

Mine would have to be the drivers here in Japan. I mean I am all about getting to my destination fast but 110km on a one way street is not cool. I have been walking with my son after day care and I almost got hit.
Also when the drunk Japanese person feels it's necessary to stumble into me and attempt to talk to me. Yeah you have the juice in you but you don't have to breathe on me so much. I don't need to smell everything you drank that night. When I try and get them off of me everyone looks at me like I am the bad person. I can care less. That is annoying.

Hey come on there are some guys that would rather wear the Manzier than to go to the gym and tone their body up. I mean I am a big guy and there is no way in hell that I would wear that. I mean how would a girl look at you when you try and get close. I mean she is going to think your GAY too. So that is why we say GAY. Look they are selling this thing to men who have no self confidence. I mean what is going to be next...The Mankini? I mean if I see that at the beach I will have to move. Guys don't waste your money on this. Put it into a gym membership and go. It's the New Year. Trust me. You will be happier with the gym then the Manzier.

MeanRingo - Not sure where you getting your definition from. But every dictionary and encyclopedia states that a ghetto is:
A ghetto is an area where people from a specific ethnic background, culture, or religion live in seclusion, voluntarily or more commonly involuntarily with varying degrees of enforcement by the dominant social group. The first ghettos were established to confine Jewish populations in Europe. They were surrounded by walls, segregating and so-called "protecting them" from the rest of society. In the Nazi era these ghettos served to confine, and subsequently exterminate Jews in massive numbers.
Today the term ghetto is used to describe a blighted area of a city containing a concentrated and segregated population of a despised minority group. These concentrations of population may be planned, as through government-sponsored housing projects, or the unplanned result of self-segregation and migration. Often municipalities will build highways and set up industrial districts around the ghetto to further isolate it from the rest of the city. The continued existence of ghettos in many parts of the world is a blight upon humanity that requires resolution.
So there is no ignorance on my part. People might think that they know the meaning of the word but they have been using the wrong way for a long time.

memyselfI - You use the term Ghetto a lot. Do you know what you are talking about. Child abuse is not from the Ghetto. Beating your kids to death is not a common occurrence in the Ghetto. So let’s just change what we say a little bit.
What I am not sure about is the statement "Ghetto people having ghetto children. Usually the ghetto woman is a baby making machine. Never using proper protection from having babies." The child was abused by the mother and her boyfriend. I am not sure but I didn't read anywhere where it stated that they are Ghetto.
A Ghetto is a section of a city occupied by a minority group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure.
So by this definition she is not ghetto or from the ghetto. It is a tragedy what happed to the little girl. Social services should take the rest of her kids away so that no other children get hurt.

Just dumb? If she got away with it on the first purchase what would make her think that it was going to be ok for the second one? Greedy.

Where do get that they were pals? They worked on reform for inner city schools. They worked on a bill together. Not everyone who works together to make a change are pals. So I get confused when this gets brought up. Palin is just telling half truths. That seems to be the new plan. It seems like they have to try and do this low ball stuff because when it comes to real issues they can't talk. If they stick to the problems and how they are going to fix them then there will not be a chance in hell for them.

Nuclear bombs? Where are you getting your information from? With all the talk about people hating that the ship is here. It was really quiet. I guess it is not as bad as people made it out to be.

Wow...the first time a US Service member has been in JT in a long time. This is a really stupid guy. Give him his punishment and let’s get on. It doesn't matter where they found him or what he does he committed a crime. Let’s look at that instead of him being military. I mean this crime is petty compared to I don't know... business men sniffing cocaine or getting arrested for drugs in another country. These are just stupid crimes being getting committed by stupid people. Can't we just chalk it up to being stupid instead of where they are getting these service members and blaming the military.

It's not selfish. It is a choice that a person has. Just like abortion. You can't tell someone they have to have the child it is their choice. If you force people to have to adopt then people will probably chose to not adopt and just not worry about kids. Isn't the goal to increase the population? Wouldn't it be better if people had a choice on what type of kid they are going to raise?

It's a celebration. He didn't point in their faces or splash water at them he yelled and cheered for his time. Like some one said earlier. The girl who plays ping pong yells at every point shem makes, does that mean she is arrogant and disrespectful? It is a sport. Let them be happy and celebrate with out offending anyone. I have seen a lot of people yell and scream and no one is pointing at them. If you played sports you would have some idea of what is going on.

It's a little dog. They should put him in a cell with a Pit Bull. Maybe he will think twice before kicking a dog again.

I agree with TheguyNextdoor. At 2 years old the child should have been watched the whole time. The child should have been with the parent. I hope this story makes other more aware of how quickly things go wrong and that children should be monitored closer.

A woman wants what she wants. I have dated all types of Japanese women. None of them said hey I want to date you because you are not Japanese. They wanted to date me because I am a nice guy. I think that some girls have this thought that what they hear about Americans are not good but it is not as bad as what I have seen the Japanese men do here. But it's not for me to say what they want or don't want. If they like me then cool. If not it's not the end of the world. I do have one question though. Why are there so many 33 - 40 year old women still living at home and following the rules that they had at 13? I think family holds a lot of these women back not of dating foreigners but just dating.

With all of these kids committing murder they should start trying them as adults. Maybe that will keep them in line?
