Here we go again. The Kobe kid murderer started out killing and decapitating cats, too.

When that same 14 year old kid stuck the other little boy's head to the gate of the school, everyone was shocked that some adult in Japanese society could actually do such a thing.

Imagine,…

Any eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Those who kill others (aside from involuntary manslaughter or a revenge killing for a family murder) should also be put to death.

If murder suspects are found to be guilty without any shred…

Kids have really fragile self-esteem. Parents need to spend more time instilling self-worth and a positive self-image into their kids. Love goes a long way, when it's genuinely felt.

Of course this girl didn't do this only because it said to on her blog. Probably got a lot garbage from…

I really liked the previous crane emblem - it was cool and had flair. The green paper plane emblem and the partial green hinomaru on the tail seems rather bland. Nothing about it says, "Japan".

Whether the large hotel/resort makers get to build their giant view shattering concrete montrosities this year or not, the large demand for lodging, in the short term will still be there.

The Kutchan municipal government is smart in requiring visually appealing restriction for further buildings. Let the companies and bidders…

Perhaps a little supportive counseling becoming less taboo would help. A society in which strangers don't really acknowledge or help each other doesn't help either. The strong sense of community which existed in past generations/neighborhoods has disappeared. A very crowded country with a very lonely feel to it. I'm surprised…

I can't speak for Australian rice, but in California, I've rarely ever heard any of the Japanese there say that California rice tastes inferior to Japan's. They say it tastes just the same - and hell of a lot cheaper!

The whole 'taste' excuse is bull.

It really comes down…

It's comforting to know that if I get fed-up enough, I can murder and grotesquely mutilate my wife or kid and only have to spend seven years away from society. What a cake walk.

I think Taka312 was on to something. The judge should be forced to have Lil Muto-kun…

The article's not very well written. She hasn't put out a "best of..." album in six years. She's put out a few albums these past few years. Now hurry up and go buy them! Then buy her third "best of..." album and relive all those great moments again. Oh the…
