After this, I think the only ones who support this man are people who doesn't knows about the pain the sex slaves suffered or the people who doesnt's have daughters or sisters so they can't understand the magnitude of his careless comments, the fact that he considers the rape of women as something necessary on those times should be enough for him to resign.

Women's slavery and rape won't be never be ok, and their dignity is much more important than the "wellbeing" of the soldiers. They used these women as they were nothing, and then deny it. So terrible.

I'm sorry that I say this, but why did she hold it for near 10 minutes? She shouldn't have to feel ashamed for yelling or even hit her agressor in public, because her safety is first. And I feel angry because nobody inside the train realized what he was doing. We need to me more concious that those things happens everyday around us and help those victims of sexual harassement.

I think the reason of these posters is to show you you're not alone, that these moments of distress are normal and you can ask for help if you want, without feel ashamed for it. Maybe people who see the posters and feel uneasy can see their feelings trought them, but they are reluctant to admit it. I consider they should let them there, just put some explanation about it and show the phone number for some information.

Why would I care more about getting money than my dignity and my body? I can't understand girls nowadays. When I was touched by a guy when I was 5 years old and he asked me to do something horrible, I quickly said no, because inside of me I knew it was wrong. These kind of news kill me.

The only reason I would wish americans would fight North Korea is in order to liberate the people from their concentration camps. I saw a report about it on CNN and it seems terrible. I don't like wars but maybe is the only way to save them.

There's a lot of good people in Mexico that only want a better life, but we live under the influence of merciless thiefs and drug dealers that makes our country like an awful place. I don't really know if we will get better someday, but we have to deal with it everyday.

I feel so bad for this woman. Just because a bad person got interest on her, she lost part of her body and her emotional health for this sad event.

I'm concerned about how the boyfriend didn't know about these 2 children. Did he think they were been taken care of for their grandparents of someone else? Should he be judged too?
I don't know if someone else knew about the children. Some families are completely isolated from others and don't think about asking for help if something is wrong. If I had children and had difficult times raising them I would look for support from other, because I don't consider it embarrasing and it's for my children's health.

I loved maccha icecream flavor. I used to eat it often when I lived in Japan, and I can't wait to eat more when I go back^-^. Besides, it's healthier than chocolate!

Even if he was wrong and caused several problems to his country, dying of cancer is always a sad, painful thing. I hope he didn't have suffered and that Venezuela gets forward.

I remember when I got influenza in Tokyo. A friend took me to the nearest hospital, a pretty big one, and even when my fever was close to 42 and had insurance, they didn't allowed me to stay there., because the lack of beds. They told me to keep taking my pills and go back home. I had to hold it by myself for a week, and I ended getting panic attacks after I recovered because the big scare I got :(.

Kimokekahuna Hawaii, it's very easy to judge people when you are not at their same situation. Instead of feeling bad for them, you see them as wortless human beings because you see yourself as a success example in japanese society. Homeless people sometimes is getting too old for working, and shelters are not doing a proper job in Japan. Instead of thinking about yourself and how perfect you are, you should get more emphaty for others and become a better person.

Some things would have sound much better coming from another person, with more sensibility. I understand that maybe old people who is very sick should be allowed if they want to die peacefully, but I don't think the government's money is something you should consider before them.
He should have said "wealthy people", instead of "rich jews" at least T_T...
He can be honest, but needs some diplomacy.
