    Japanese kids have got to be messed up with all the importing of foreign 'holidays'

    I totally agree. Enough with the Halloween and Christmas. They should just stick with the traditional Japanese holidays. I never liked the costumes at Halloween here, and hate it when KFC has long lines on…

    Here's a clue - we don't need Big Brother to tell us what media we can and can't play.

    Exactly. It's the reason why I stopped owning an iPod. It was too restrictive as far as what kind of music I could listen to. Apple needs to realize that it…

    I'm sure these kids will never go jumping into any water after this experience. Whether he died because it was not deep enough, or because he couldn't swim well enough, or he jumped in an awkward way, it is tragic. May he rest in peace.

    I remember when I and…

    this is news about ****Japanese**-Americans **and how they were treated during WW2.

    Good point therealmusashi. But then you went and contradicted yourself by saying this:

    I'm glad the **Japanese **can remember this.

    Correction: I'm glad the Japanese-Americans can remember this. (since neither the Japanese nor the Americans could give a…

    I'm a big fan of Yukari Nakano too. She is a tremendous figure skater, and often times gets unfairly judged. Yet, she still does quite well in competitions despite the lack of sponsors.

    Those are facts. Where did you read you information?

    The fact is, that children DID die in the internment camps due to inadequate living conditions. As to my source, you should watch the documentary, "Children of the Camps" by PBS (The Public Broadcasting Service). There is even more information about…

    Surely there's a family out there who has lost someone who would agree that showing the horrors of war has some benefit. Why force that upon an unwilling family?

    I don't care about his appearances of being self-centered, I think he's just misunderstood, as many geniuses of their respective fields often are.
