The one thing I don't understand is, how can a 57 year old dude be interested in a 9 year old girl?? Now if it was an adult woman playing naked of course I could understand but a kid?? I just don't get the attraction.

Ha ha, with these life like robots, is it the beginning of the end for the young children who flock to japan as "teachers"?? This is a good thing. I'm sure there will be a huge demand for these robots as the school owners won't have to even dish out the pittance they do now.

Masks are only of any use if they are the super duper doctor type. The ordinary types that japanese wear just make you laugh!

Of course they're useless but in japan that's not the point. It's a pretend show of gaman and consideration for others. Ha ha! They should learn to cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze etc. Anyway as japanese all seem to have to be the same and do the same things, they have no choice but to wear them. However it would be far more effective for the invalides to wear gloves so that they don't contaminate surfaces. But Japanese don't wear gloves as they would never do something that that the group isn't doing.

Why do we have to go through this same old rigmarole every time?? We all know North Korea can always do exactly what it wants without any repercussions. They have nuclear weapons, they have thousands of artillery pieces trained on Seoul and maybe missiles trained on Tokyo. Nobody can take any meaningful action against them. They know it, we know it. And shortly Kimmy will no doubt get his usual supplies of fuel, rice, food,cash and porn DVDs from China, S.korea, Japan etc. Kimmy is always the winner.

Digusting incident isn't it? I'd like this coward to have tried this against one of the two ladies who are in their fifties who train regularly at my Taekwondo club. This "guy" would have been separated from his family jewels!

Yep wallets and purses are super-glued shut. Hardly surprising considering the present popularity of sackings.

Japan,with it's rapidly aging population is, as we all know, sliding rapidly downhill. It had its heyday in the eighties. It feels as though this article has been written by a starry eyed newbie.

Only 24% of the population it is claimed have mental problems?? I would have thought it was much much higher than that. Everyday having the to act the part of being a japanese, putting on your mask, always saying the right things and acting according to the strait-jacket imposed upon you. In the office having to do 12 to 14 hour days with no overtime pay and few holidays, kowtowing to the incompetent old gits kmown as the management. 24%?? Not 100%??

Let's face it, marijuana makes you feel good and relaxed. Now the J authorities cetainly don't want that do they? They want total control over the masses. They want salaryman doing 15 hour days with no holidays or overtime pay. Marijuana would ruin all their plans. And allowing alcohol is just a sop to the masses.

There's one guy in my office who is breaking wind all day. And I'm not kidding. I guess he has some health problem and can't help it but it's not pleasant for the rest of us. Which category in the poll does this go under??

It's just a matter of WHEN the riots start. So many people are not part of society any longer and so they won't obey it's rules. I forecast law and order will start to break down at the end of March when so many contracts will end and not be renewed.
