WMD is so spot on. Japanese listen only to what pleases them. There is definitely a lot of cash to make in the "pleasing the japanese" industry.

Sorry, but Geneva is the best designed; not the one in Florida, nor in New York, nor in Alabama, nor Wisconsin, nor Nebreska, the one in Switzerland of course. Every old towns in the World are amazing thoug. Unfortunately, japan doesn7t have a single one.

@DeepAir, pretty much every old…

They should definitely get rid of Tae Kwon Do, which was introced for the Seoul Olympics, so that the sore losers korean could at least get one medal. Replace it by KARATE. Rugby is fun to watch but a few countries kick some asses(like baseball), so I don't know if…

Many comments are pointing that a lot of crimes are not reported, which is, I guess, true.

In Western countries, danger is coming from people you don't know and you've never seen.

In Japan, you won't be stabbed by a stranger who wants your sneakers, but danger is in your…

The fact is, hitting kids is often the act of out-of-control parents who have lost it.

Well, in this case I'll have to agree, but this is not note exactly a mean of discipline. Open question:is it possible to smack a kid in cold blood?

Yes, definitely, as long as…

And the answer is No.

Wow, that's one hell of an argument. As I said in my previous post, smacking kids should be done as an ultima ratio, when absolutely everything had been tried. Smacking a kid pretty much means you failed, but it has to be done if the…

I am absolutely against it! Beating up your own children is insane. Children should grow up with love and kindness and not violence from their parents which lead to them hating their parents for the rest of their lives.

And we all know what children in Japan do to their…

I love when you go to a chick's place just for a drink and it turns out to be something different. I really love the moment you suddenly understand you'll have it tonight.
