    So much middle age Eye for an Eye nonsense in here, it really disgusts me. I'm happy people don't have a voice for such things over here in Europe.

    Of course they have to be told in advance if they're about to die!! Hell, we're talking about human beings and not about murdering and raping monsters, as for the latter just doesn't exist and never will. So long...

    Hard to say. Yakushima, definitely, but there's so many beautiful things it's really hard to choose.

    What the hell are you talking, Elbuda?

    I also like Kyoshi Kurosawa's films, even though I haven't seen many of them -- but everyone should at least have seen "Pulse",

    Sometimes it just seems that we're about to forget that there are individuals living in every country and that there is -- despite of all their possible similarities -- no such thing as "the Japanese girl." There are some and there are some. What a comforting thought, isn't it? Too easy to get a little racist on that topic.

    So ... what?

    Yeah, this mayor seems to be a major idiot. What a shame. Osaka is the most open and most undogmatic Japanese city I know and seeing it being represented by someone like this pisses me off a bit.

    By the way, I really need a tattoo. I'd like to have some Shoujo Tsubaki image on my back or something like this, lol.

    That's what I love about Japan, man ... It makes absolutely no sense, but who cares if there's something that is crazy enough to catch some attention. Nicely done. I as well don't want to spoil the party!

    No matter what happens now -- well done, Mr. Obama. It's about time for all of us to realize that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Can't believe homophobia's still such a big thing in 2012, but it is, all around the globe, regardless of nation, religion or political views ... It seems to be even worse than, let's say, 50 or even 30 years ago :/

    Yeah, a real source of stress. Poor things. You know what? Let's ban work, because working is a real source of stress for humans! Let's all live in a world without stress! (cynism out)

    "No more aid"? There are people living there and they have a right to eat, no matter what. They're not only weird freaks but also human beings. Tactically it might not be the worst thing to keep your own interests, but then you're probably responsible for the deaths of millions of people, indirectly. No, thanks.

    In my opinion, North Korea is the biggest tragedy our planet has to face at the moment. It just can't go on like that. Sure it's absolutely ridiculous and sure it's funny to see a country "ruled" by a fat mid-20 guy with an awful haircut, but hundreds of thousands of people are living under the worst conditions possible in these "working camps" if they don't follow their leadership, people are even turning to cannibalism from hunger, and they're wasting all their money for completely outdated artillery. NK is nothing but brainwashing, torture, death, starving. And they sure won't stop just like that.

    The world has to make pressure, no matter what. This nonsense has to stop. They might be dangerous, but I think they'll have their war sooner or later ... but if they can do it from within, even better! No matter how it ends (it will end): of course South Korea can't just take over North Korea and have a happy reunified Korea, they'd completely ruin themselves. It will be a very, very slow progress.

    Wow, if you're against Death Penalry, you get downvoted here -- big surprise. Reactionary thinking still seems to be deeply rooted in our society. In that case, I'm really proud to be an European.

    Just get rid of it, please. It disgusts me.

    Can't believe you guys are discussing over a picture that shows 5(?) people smoking in a non-smoking area. Seriously. "Here you have the proof, Japanese people are all RUDE if they're not acting nice" and stuff like this.

    Smokers want to smoke sometimes, and so they do it. Otherwise you wouldn't sell cigarettes in the first place. If it's not even in a public building/restaurant/whatever, or at least in a crowded area, who cares? Let them do it. They don't even leave cigarette ends because someone had the great idea to sell pocket ash trays - something that I miss here in Europe.

    Sometimes, like right now, I believe in the death penalty even if no one is murdered. Oh yeah, please kill the bastard, slowly and merciless. That's gonna fix it all, for sure. If you just kill them all, there'll be no more murdering and cruelty on this planet. I mean, I'm not reactionary or something.

    I'm just happy the kid survived, seriously. Really tough story, but it could have ended much much worse. Seems like a miracle. I'll never understand how someone is capable of trying to kill his children, but some do.
