Depends on where you live. Book smart isn't going to necessarily help you out of a beating. Street smart allow you to see the graffiti on the wall and know you're in the wrong neighborhood. While Book smart properly used can get you ahead. Shark or Dolphin?
Where I grew up Street smarts always trumped Book Smart. Still I guess you can measure which one is important to you by your comfort zone; if you aren't worried about stray bullets hitting you, then yes, Book Smarts seems like a nice ticket. If you are Street Smart then you already know that you need the Book Smarts so you can leave that area behind.
If this is an academic question for you more than a survival one then you probably know where your answer is.

Maybe he should have said something first but cell phones on the train are damn annoying. I also think manners for pictures use to be to ask the person if it was alright.

Ok and what crime-prevention training course tells you to wrestle down the assailant and possible get yourself hurt for just cash? Heroic but damn stupid, somebodies going to get hurt imitating these guys.

I am not usually one to trust cops to readily I have seen too many cases of abuse of power. I remember walking home from high school and having a cop us the N-word and then tell me he could arrest me anytime and say I resisted arrest. I am sorry just cause someone has a badge doesn't make them a nice person. It was my freshman year and yes I walked well around the stupid area to get home put an extra 15minutes to do every morning and after school. So if you don't get why people my sometimes resist arrest the I suspect you have had a sheltered life.

Sorry mis-read. If the cop went around lying about his age then he should be creamed. Can his ass and jail time would be best. tkoid2 you don't need manga to have a society that his hooked up with fantasies about high school girls. Plenty of countries do and don't really have half the crap this country has on the shelves of your local mag shop here.

Pretending to be a collage student. I am sorry but she gets no sympathy from me. There should be some punishment for misrepresenting your age,like community service or something but if not then she effectively gets away with this stupid action. Which she is still alive, and probably still in perfect health. I think she didn't get paid and told her parents why else would you she go to the sight an represent herself as older.

Do we really want to compare the habits of Japanese tourist around the world in the 80's and 90's. Many countries had names for them also I think this story is stupid. I mean then I guess foreigners in this countries could just create a net site focusing on dumb things Japanese tourist have done but why waste the time.

It seems to be a women getting killed kind of week with the Japanese news. Kind of like scarring single women into locking their doors and not going out. Still until you know someone I guess it pays to do that whole couple dating thing.

I am not sure I am for free medical for adults, I would say that I would love to have a more discounted system. Make damn sure one doesn't have to lose the farm for getting sick. If Obama plan works then great but I feel that free health leads to people abusing the system and going in for every little thing when they don't need to.
"If Obama said spending freeze, capital gains tax abolished and corporate tax rates cut to 12.9 percent. I'd be screaming from the rafters in support of him."
I second that fully.
I still think that education is gotten way out of hand as an expense also. You're almost an indentured servant after you get your full education. There are other ways that are more sound than just throwing money into the fire.
Yet you still have to do something or you get Hoovervilles and history remembers that as bad.

Hopefully at 37 he can handle a some ignorant people ranting. He could also block them from his blog. I don't know if somehow your name gets mixed up with a murderer than you want to make a brief not somewhere that you weren't ther person in question.

Maybe next year after the Iranians have prepared a bit. Maybe their star player was hurt. Maybe that thought about it and thought any sport with the wor "bad" in it just shouldn't be allowed in. Maybe just maybe people will stop saying America and say the United States after all South America, Central America, and well Canada and Mexico are part of North America too. It's like saying that country what do you call it oh yeah, you know that country Africa! Keep those Bad mittens away!

Would this be another former student or a student that is there now? It would probably easier to chase the claim of the student that is presently there and then back track to see how long this idiot has been doing this crap. Seriously I went to boarding school there were controls to make sure we didn't end up at some teacher's house or one of the Residents.

Betting, A few years back I asked my Japanese co-workers about that. They all responsed that the government pays for charity work. It isn't that indivisual don't but it seems that is more of a public act then a private contribution.
Also if you look at a lot of NPO's and NGO's you will find some Japanese working there. Infact a few years back they use to show the trend of how man Japanese woman choice that route.
If Chinatsu takes off her top to raise charity and it actually goes to the cause what's the problem? There really isn't one. One simple stupid act and she makes money for people who need it. I wish more people were willing to take off their tops for charity.
Then again that would be PETA.

"In the end they will eat up Israel." This is why Isreal will keep bombing them back to the stone age. Both sides are wrong but high provocative speeches are dumb at this point. You have not won when your hospital have to decide which treatable with todays medicine child to make the cut. While others with problems that in any other stable nation would be a hiccup in the childs life. I am sorry but Hamas did not win in fact it lose big.

"Everyone makes their own choices. Working a temporary position in a factory for 20 years is a choice." I applaude the statement, so why is choosing to protest against going to the chopping block bad? Why should they meekly go home? Protest your heart out and if something comes of it then hurray. If not, then at least you didn't go meekly into that darkness. At least your tried to make your voice heard even it falls on deaf ears.

Please bullying happens to most people and a fair share of people here probably did something. From popping bras or spreading malicious gossip, excluding someone from your play group kids are mean. Very few I've met are paragons of goodness. Most like adults are just followers. It is up the officials to catch and give the right punishment. Use to be absence from school, a mark on the record, and community or after school service.
To Timorborder, not every boarding school was like yours. The one I went to in my Senior year was more like Wakarimasen's descript, and my friends who come from different boarding schools are close to the same. Lord of the flies even children set up their own little societies with rules and punishments.

Speech are all great and grand but run hallow if no actions come from them. I do not believe that the Presidency would be easy for the next person to take the lead. There are many things that need to be addressed and not so much breathing room for mistakes. The learning curb needs to be fast as the issues are many.
Medicine sometimes taste very bitter, it will be up the President to see if he can easy the bitterness or at least strenghten the will of us who have to take it.
