Again it shows that the biggest danger in this country does not come from strangers but from people with whom you have some relationship. The guy had thought the relationship was over, but the other apparently didn't think so.

In Vietnam they got squarely kicked out, no question about it. In India they were winning during the governmental confusion. They moved out "of their own accord", once they realized the Indians reorganized and were ready to move in. There was NO good will in either case.

@Kokuchihai: Tibet, Vietnam or India may beg to differ with your "In history china never invade any other countries".

As long as Japan has death penalty, his job is to get it done. Once they abolish it the problem will be over, but for now his job is to make sure the penalty they were given is finalized.

Nicky, I'd say it's not important whether the school did "nothing" or "something." Whatever they might have had done was certainly not enough to stop the bullying of the girl.

There is this statement at the end, "the victim was not directly involved in the bullying". That strongly implies that the boy might have been involved indirectly, so that would confirm the bullying itself.
Nobody did anything to protect the daughter, so the dad decided to do the protecting. Too strong? Certainly, but I wonder why nobody did anything to help the daughter. This is still in the elementary school!

Get any fad or trend and you'll always get some celebrities who are into. Does this make it any more valid? Not really. If you wanna do it, go for it, but saying "Some famous guy/gal are doing it so it must be good" makes no sense: I'll show you zillions of other, more famous people who are not doing it.

How easy the world is: for just one reason the company will succeed or fail! Too bad my world isn't as simple as that.

And of course, today when I was talking with a Japanese woman about Halloween, her first reaction was "The accident!" She will remember from now on that it's a "dangerous" holiday. It took me for ever to explain that it was just an accident, and the fact that it happened during a Halloween party does not mean that "Halloween is a dangerous custom."

USNinJapan, I have been using Apple computers since 1989 and I have never owned a Windows machine. During all this time when I was laughed at and ridiculed, I wanted to use what I wanted to use. For me all of the Macs were not just computers, it was a life style. And this life style was created thanks to this one person, so i actually feel very personally about him and his passing. Would you understand that? I don't know, maybe you would, maybe not. While I have been getting ready for this day, it still came as a shock. For many people the hoopla over his death may seem like a melodrama, but for others it is the end of an era.

Why? Because it gives them the sense of superiority. They can't understand that for each person music has a different meaning, so they need to compare and put down things that don't appeal to them.
Posted in: Why do some people mock others' taste in music and dismiss groups that they don't like as being crap and having no talent, etc, as if they were some great authority or arbiter on musical excellence?

Have never owned a cell phone and never "missed" it. My computer is always on and I talk to people and answer mails when I have the time. My answering machine is always on and I call people when I have the time. When I go out, I'm out and unavailable. If I need to contact somebody, I can always find a way to do it, in or out. If you need to contact me, you'll also find a way, if you need to. If you don't need, why bother me?

There is lots of other software, besides APS, that will allow you to copy notes. Besides, she would not have enough money to buy APS.

FB is just a tool, like any other tool, and whether the tool has positive results or not does not depend on the tool itself but on the people who are using it. As Virtuoso said, some people flock to it because they "follow the herd instinct". Other people interact with many kinds of people, so they are able to see new points of view, something they wouldn't be able to achieve in just one-on-one interaction type. Some people want to sever ties with people from their past, others want to maintain them. So, what does this survey say? People who are on Facebook have more relationships. This is just a confirmation of what people had known - if you want to maintain your relationships, get on FB, and if you want the world to leave it alone, leave the FB alone. Either way, I guess there is no reason to blame FB for the choices WE are making.

"I had no idea..." Because you never gave the girl a bath or never put her clothes on? Either way, how can you call yourself a "parent"?
