Interesting how some here are encouraging war and expecting more unpleasantness. Have we not learned enough from the past wars?

What is it with some of the politicians landing on "disputed islands"? This is not the stone age right? Medvedev doing some clownish acts on some islands and then others following suit? Can people sit at a table and discuss decently? Even better, if they forget these islands for a while and think better about improving the economic situation of their respective countries. In my opinion, these islands cannot solve the problems of the common people of the respective countries.

It would be nice to hear the comments from the natives about this police matter. Those expensive glossy Wanted posters in Police boxes, train stations etc are not effective at all right? If a police officer, who is supposed to vigilant behaves this way, then what behavior is expected from the general public?

Have you guys seen the "Ultimate Silver Metal" color on GT-R 35 Premium edition only? I think that nothing can beat that color. That is one gorgeous color. I had the honor to drive one recently and I am in love with it. It is about 300Man. For now I will dream about it. No thank you for Rolls Royce. The face looks almost like a truck.

Love these robots. Sure they will be very useful. No one should strain their backs. But at the same time, someone teach the people to love their own families, friends and others so that you have the real human touch, feeling etc, Nothing can replace that. If the elderly value their material things, money etc then please go ahead. You are losing something important in your lives. I have J friends who are not very young. I socialize with them and spend a fraction of my spare time, cooking for them, going out with them. Their children do not do what I do for them. I have a great time. It can be tiring but it is mutually beneficial.

The wrong-doer has to be punished; whether he is Japanese or not. This has nothing to do with the love of your land and the zealous way to protect the name of the country and its citizen. It would be a great achievement if Japan can improvise its justice system to keep up to the world standards.

I saw police patrolling deserted areas. I was told that this is to avert thefts etc. It was in Ibaraki.

I saw many Winnie the poohs, teddies and dolls like that. No no, it was not set up. I saw some real stuff like that. In front of some houses, there were some house appliances, tvs, etc piled up. It makes you cry 'cos people were just going on with their daily lives when the disaster struck. It is not funny guys.

Oh please really. Do these people really have time to rally around to claim the islands. Amazing how that adult is dragging a child in the hot sun to protest. What about that child's rights? She should be in a park and playing and intermingling with other kids from all nationalities.

Nice trend of thought pumpkin. Who actually are responsible for Paris being dirty? Long time ago, it was a clean city too.No finger pointing, but I am saying what I observed. It is beautiful to see the great mix of cultures there. But some people have happily adopted the many things of the original inhabitants but NOT THE CLEANLINESS PART of the culture. It is sad how people abuse the public utilities, transport systems etc. in Paris.Mind you they are very old systems that have stood the tests of time. Hats off to the Jpeople for their sense of cleanliness.

Mistakes were made. But let us help others to move on. Just watching what a genuine effort Cyndi is doing with her music. Also,just checked another rap song from another artist. Check Yomigaere on youtube. Lovely words.

I love it how we become selective in adopting certain things and rebel against other things when we are in a host country. We only want to take, take and take. Not give. Yes, the forefathers of the French colonized etc etc. In what way does that justifiable that the other French people pay for it with their health and everything. There should have been a better more balanced way to compensate.
Was pretty amazed how the young immigrants from many parts of the world have adopted well to the French way of doing things. But then what put me off is that they litter the public places because there is someone to clean it. It was such an ugly sight to see a young beautiful well dressed immigrant woman eating gum and throwing it in the train floor right in front of many nationalities. So she adopted the fashion and dressing habits of the French and refuses the "be clean" habit of the French?

I was in Iran, Azerbaijan and Dubai for a short time for work. Do you know what? I saw some amazing rebellious spirit from the native women. A couple, in their 50s invited me to join them for coffee and "some drinks" to their home. I only met them on the street and asked them directions. Then there were other younger women, who were willing to join the group of foreigners to do fun things like drinking and dancing. In a way, I am waiting for the day that they will rise above the religious fanatics.
My mother met an islam lady doctor, who confided in her about how she has to live her life, first under her father's control and now under her husband's control. She is going to break loose one day too.

Cannot forget the incident when a friend and I walked out of a restaurant where there were two women in burqas. The burqas were very beautiful. But every time the women lifted it to put a morsel of food just made me loose my appetite. Not sure if I reacted the wrong way, but I could not stand it anymore.

It is very nice when one keeps his/her religious belief close to one;s own heart. Faith, religion etc should be very personal. Not to be openly exhibited or forced upon our neighbors. Are the children asked if they really would like to dress in the attire of their tradition, religion etc. Might be interesting to do a survey on young adults of these communities if it is their desire or some other factor for them to dress in that way.

What a beautiful moment captured. I think the posters here have to be more kind 'cos you do not seem to understand the depth of the psychological impact this disaster has brought to the people. In fact, even the posters need to take your mind out of this whole thing because unawares to you, you also have been shaken.
