That's right! All it takes is one mess up to ruin the rest of your life with no take backs.
The woman has been living, basically, on the streets since last December. Who knows how this would affect any of us. I find the social stresses in Japan affect people here more. Whatever the real reasons for this crime, it is still a sad thing what she did. To have that much "hatred" as she put it to kill an innocent. No justification can make this a reasonable action no matter religious or non-religious affilations anyone has.

Parent's did say anything at the meeting and there were 80 of them. I don't think that would happen int he US and other countires.
I really don't know what to say about the affects of bullying but only 'cause you move a child from one class does not mean it will not persist or that the damage can be remedied. Some children just can't take it; even the slightest of ill words messes them up. I dislike bullies with a passion. Whenever I see it back when I was in school and now as an adult I don't have any reservations about sticking my nose in and stopping it.
There does need to be more counseling services available and teachers trained in notcing children's behavioral changes.
This is just too sad.

They do like stabbing in the neck in Japan. This is often an area of choice. Sad thing just for being slapped. There doesn't seem to be an inbetween here. Like night and day.

I heavily dislike it. Theres so much gray and situations that call for differences in the etiquette of tipping that also change without you even knowing until someone points it out; Oh! it's no longer 15% for good service but 18%. When the heck did it change?
It needs to stop and the employers should pay them more. I think putting that reponsibility of compensating employees for what employers will not pay is ridiculous. You always hear someone say; "I don't get paid enough" and quote you their actual pay. Why should a consumer be held responsible for it.

There may not be a gurantee but if it was something he could have seen coming he may have other options to have reduced the damage. So, yes! Texting or taking photos; anything that takes their eyes from where they should be is a liability that frankly, shouldn't be allowed. I doubt the violator wants to look into the faces of victims family. If they do their job on safety's side and a tragedy happens at least they are conscious free.

Geoff Tate! WOW! I have't heard that name in a while. Geoff is a really cool guy. We had a long discussion sometime ago at a bar in San Antonio, Texas. Very down to earth. I had no idea he had moved on to doing Movie scores...Interesting.
Queeensryche were one fo those bands that sounded pretty close to the album when live and they weren't lip synching. I loved their first 3 CD's. All 3 different.

You have to admit changing from a cosmetic/plastic surgeon to an actress tells you something about this person; it doesn't make sense whatsoever. And attractive??? Well, that is relative.

It's as stupid as those people who think stealing Stop signs is fun without thinking twice as to what will ultimately happen...a fatal wreck.

I am speechless. Yes, it happens elsewhere as well but we are talking about Japan and it is a serious problem here.

I agree that gay bars/clubs should be open to everyone. Most American gay bars/clubs left that behind sometime ago. Many straights like going to gay clubs because the music is really great and if someone approaches you all you have to say is "Im sorry, but I'm straight" and they'll leave you alone. Dancing with gay guys is fun too. Chemically, they are attracted to the same sex and they cannot do anything about that so why criticze them.

Well, this was a stupid thing to do. Punishment for failing to follow rules such as the one noted in the article should have amounted to maybe not going to anymore excursions in the futurev or some other less severe punishment. In many articles you always read that the person in question seems to always say "I lost my cool," "I was stressed and snapped," or "I was frustrated." All this building up surely has been since they were very young. Shows the amount of mental stress their society ia placed on. Maybe some of their tradition needs to be left behind. Like holding everyone accountable when only 1 person does something wrong in a group and not feeling awful regret and shame when a partner commits a crime that you had no part in.
I think teachers need to have access to counseling services like mental therapy at their disposal to deal with the stresses of workign with childeren.

I would love to go see them drift. Maybe next time while in Japan I can find out where I need to go to check one out. I think they should be allowed so long as the roads are shut down. I dont think it's any difference than race car driving. Same risk involved except race car drivers are in a confined place but they can get seriously injured or killed just the same by doing something they love to do. Crazy, yes, but you'll always have people who love living dangerously.

If she was in a non-motorized she should still not wheel chairing on a highway. They are meant for limited mobility not crusing down the highway.

I see those motor operated wheel chairs everywhere here in the US and always wonder, it would be so easy to hit one of those. People use them as cars. They will go as far as to a Walmart that is miles from where they live using the side of the road for emergency stops as their road. Also, going up hill. I think they are too dangerous. I don't think they were meant for what many people use them for.

Who knows what the issue or reason could be???? Could anything. His actions do not give us a clue. The fact that they are always children maybe because it is convenient. You see them everywhere and they stand out in those uniforms. Doubt whoever gave the reason that "because they are cute." Might not be the first time he's done this either.

Why do parents put their lives and their kids lives in danger when "if" she did fall asleep. To drive in that condition with a child in tow. Now the child is motherless. What a shame.

Don't pound on it until you've tried it is what I say. I'm not a Mcdonald's junky but I do like their fries. I'd have to go adn try it before I can say anything good or bad about the place. Sounds liek some of you ahven't even tried the place and already you are giving it a bad review.
