seriously. I teach 2-3 year olds 5 mornings a week and if they even start to climb on a chair or table I make sure they know that it is wrong, dangerous, and not to be repeated unless they want to sit on the floor for time-out. Knowingly letting your…

in Florida or the Caribbean if there was a cat.2 or above hurricane coming people tape the windows, secure/bring inside anything outside, stock up on food and wait it out. People in southern Japan where it hit the hardest were going to work, riding bicycles, etc. Total lack of common…

6 and 7 is not old enough to be out alone by yourself, especially with so many sick people in the world. in America you would be charged with child negligence in some states if you left a child under 12 at home alone.

I think the prevalence of groping shows that there is a general lack of imagination, lack of self-control, and view of women as objects for men's pleasure in Japan.

Actually as a woman I feel I am lenient on groping...the trains are so packed it's hard to not have your hand on someone else, but if I feel that a mans hand is getting a bit to comfortable, and my hands are full with bags and such, a nice…

Enough. She's a drug addict and she lied and ran from the police and tried to cover it up and failed miserably. It should be left to the courts to decide her fate, get it off the TV already.

What a despicable person. Running away, denying the drugs were hers, creating a media circus and then turning herself in after causing everyone so much worry and trouble. If I were a fan, I wouldn't be anymore. Anyone who still is is a moron.

I woke up and then decided to turn on the TV, and every channel was doing major coverage of the quake and all "damage" exclusively until about 8:30. It was ridiculous. The damage was minimal and most of the injuries were just falling objects that weren't secured properly. It wasn't…

In Japan I see so many mothers walk meters in front of their toddlers, keitai in one hand and shopping bags in the other. For every mother on the train/out in the neighborhood/at my school I see talking, playing and interacting with their child in a healthy way I see…

You have obviously never met my daughter's kindergarten bento nazis! I regularly get phone calls saying this that and the other is "dame!" It seems that we foreign mums, along with never being capable of understanding Japanese culture, the importance of PTA and how to dress appropriately for a mother…
