I have a problem. My neighbors that live down the street have quite a large dog that is very sick. He can no longer move and they have him just sitting outside their door in a pamper. He cries all day and all night. The family does not keep him inside, but keeps him out all night for everyone to hear. I am not the only pet owner on the block, but no one seems to want to say anything to them. I just do not want to be that "gaijin" that goes and disturbs the peace of the neighborhood because the poor soul is left out.

Seriously man, sounds like you had it rough.

What about visitors in their own country? For example Japanese people, you live in Japan, yeah you may be from a different area/prefrecture, but you can still read the signs, they are in Japanese for crying out loud and why don't you own a GPS? I am not even talking about the damn Sunday drivers here. If you are lining up to go on a bus tour, cool, but do not wait on the corner of the road where Japan is notorious for having blind spots. Do not just throw your hand up like it is okay, it is not okay, you almost got hit and it is your fault, though it would be mine because I am the foreigner. Oh, and those of you visiting from Osaka, don't push.
U.S. citizens in America, seriously man, WTF! Yeah, it is the sunshine state but we are surrounded by water. You don't think it rains here? I mean, on cable TV, you see that we had a hurricane warning, why visit then and complain about it? Not my fault you got stuck at the bar because of rain and then complain about it. No, I do not know what it is like or how rough it is in NY. This is FL, pretty laid back, the retirement capital of the U.S.A., why should we change what we do down here unless there is enough of a demand? Oh yes, and please do bring sunscreen, you northerners want to come in the summer when it is all hot, but funny as hell seeing you all turn that lobster red.

Okay, is he an officer or enlisted? NCO is not an actual, hence non-commissioned. Or do you just not know the rank of the individual and thought this would be better.

Lost a big toe? So I am assuming he was not wearing the proper foot wear and was just wearing flip-flops or what not? Hard to imagine these kids were not at fault as well, with so little this story gives us.

I do not see how you say it will not succeed. If it sells, it will survive. I do agree that the Kinect is not going to help without there being targeted games for a Japanese audience or unless they have live demonstrations because this country does not let people rent games...I miss my gamefly.
As for it surviving longer, there is a strong group of Japanese 360 gamers, not as prominant as PS3 players, but with the release of Mo-han on the 360, it has seen a slight increase. But the bad thing is the stiputlations with it. You have to pay a subscription fee, just like for FFXI and Phantasy Star...can't remember the number (though now it is free). This is also speaking that you have to pay for Live, for the most part is enjoyable, but the price of Live is even being increased in the states. Not sure what MS is thinking, they know we are in a recession right?

Not only the poor selection, but damn games are expensive here. Also, why have they not made a 360 that is compatible for US, EU and Asia games. Yeah, some games will play on the JP 360, but I do not have to worry about playing US games on my PS3, though I rarely play it all.

Amen. What were they doing for the 1988 calls?
@Disillusioned-either someone hacked an account or the moderator needs to get on the ball about the spam.

@minello7-not sure what is decent or factual about it. In fact, if you are not on Okinawa or Okinawan, why are you bothering? The only thing I can agree with you is that they should not build a new base. They could move onto Kadena, Iwakuni, Atsugi or Yokota, not sure if they have the space, but hey, no reason to build a new base when you can just expand another one.
I know the Futema open base was packed, almost beyond capacity. They almost had to start turning Okinawan people away, because it was full.

Wow, got to love all the hate on here. Get a life people. The kids garb is what is in for their age. Do I like it, hell no, but no point in crying about it. Probably cost more than one day of any of our salaries here.

I am sure they can read or pretty busy doing talento things to care. But if they do read it, maybe it will challenge them to up their game, no?

She really knows how to speak her mind. Not saying all of the soldiers were like this, but wow. Probably would have liked to heard the whole conversation on this. I hope to catch this movie.
