Kids are kids and fans are fans. Nationality doesn't come into it.

My reference to nationality wasn't meant to be taken literally. I am talking about the differences in baseball culture between the US and Japan both in the way the game…

An MSN Japan news article says the guy said: "平間さんとよりを戻そうとしたが、断られたのでやった" (I was trying to get back together with Hirama san but she refused and…

Here age is everything..clothes, accesories, sports, hobbies, even food! It's ridiculous really. I find it really disturbing.

MLB is the real deal, Japanese baseball is basically boring. Speed the game up.

Japanese baseball is boring to YOU because it's not the same as American baseball. Speeding the game up will not increase attendance in Japan because the fans are all Japanese... not American.

The article touches…

Jeez... some people's kids.

I bet this girl had everything going for her

She could have been a cheating tramp with no job and a drug addiction, but that still doesn't justify this moron's actions. Why would you assume that she had everything going for her? Did you read…

You can't expect people to take the time to scan all the passengers, figure out who is most in need and give up the seat to them. The trains are too packed and people too tired to do that. If you can't open your mouth, you don't deserve the…

Yes. Ok, this does not look good on Japanese women. Truly a disgrace to society and humanity as a whole. But like several other posters have already said, this "phenomenon" is not exclusive to Japan, so cut the "What's with this country?!" bullshxt. These people are either EXTREMELY LONELY people…

What??? The Emperor of Japan SHOOK HANDS with Obama?!?!?! He is the EMPEROR! He does not have to shake hands with anybody! How embarrassing! Besides, he could catch the flu or something.

The Japanese have long respected the custom of shaking hands, which is not their custom. Obama has simply met in the middle by bowing to the king (emperor is a misnomer), and no the king does not bow back. (actually he is bowing back via the handshake).

I hate to sound naive, but when I hear about crap like this, it's hard to believe that we humans are all born pretty much the same helpless, pure and innocent creatures. This bastard needs to be caught and sent back to hell.
