This new trend of being famous for doing nothing except being a 'celebrity' is really starting to get to me. Is she a real DJ - can she scratch and mix records, or does she just stand in front of the turntables and look pretty, while pressing the iTunes 'PLAY'…

I really don't enjoy getting hugged by people I don't know well. And I feel extremely uncomfortable if I get hugged in Japan by younger people who think they should be automatically doing it around "Western" people.

Hugging doesn't make ME uncomfortable. It's when my Japanese counterpart stiffens up like…

“Women in their 30s are scary...”

Umm...I've heard the same argument from friends and I think it's weak. If you acted like a real man in the first place they wouldn't be so scary. I have a J-guy friend who is 32 and dating a chick straight out of high…

Livvie, I think that's a good point. As you put it, the "discrimination" is akin to someone not sitting next to you on the train.

TokyoShizz, I apologize if it seems that I was likening my experiences here in Japan to what the hibakusha went through, as that was not…

There is no evidence whatsoever that survivors were discriminated against.

Perhaps no 'official' evidence (?), but every interview that I've seen from survivors of the A-bomb so far has stated otherwise.

You think they weren't treated differently? If people refuse to sit next to me on the train on a…

Umm...pass. Not a good look. Not to mention the fact that the article says she "had A HAND in designing" the dress. How much input did she really have in creating this mess? I wish these stars would stop forcing their crappy designs on people. I've not once seen a…

Funny, the last couple of groups of really lost looking tourists that I've approached and asked if they needed help, only to be looked upon with utter disgust and distain, and then subsequently ignored, were Europeans. Spaniards and Italians (not necessarily in that order) as I recall. I was surprised…

Crazy is crazy. Regardless of where she is from she needs to be locked away. I just hope they focus on the fact that she is a violent woman who needs to be put away, and not on where she is from. I hope the employment advisor makes a full…
