  "customers who are not satisfied with the burger and have eaten less than half of it can have a new burger free of charge."

  So what are they going to do with the other half of the burger ? Gads in this day and age you'd think that blatant and unnecessary food waste would have been at the top of their list of concerns during their strategy meetings !

  More Cleo..."You expect kids on the train not to notice the one blonde, blue-eyed, pale-skinned woman in a sea of Asian faces?"

  Nothing wrong with "noticing". I draw the line at staring and blurting out "harro" like so many children and adults alike do here. I can't imagine my 7 year old walking up to some hispanic kid at the park at going through his "hola senior como esta" routine. Yet Japanese do this racist crap all the time. Cleo is an enabler ! Simply a product of her surroundings... and I'm willing to bet her kids are no diff, but with the blinders on and well... you know what they say... "you can't see the forest from the trees' !

  'Cleo - Corporal punishment in schools is illegal.'

  You should know better, there are a lot of 'illegal' activities in Japan, most simply have no punishment attached to their violations.

  Spider notes...'I hear that teenage pregnancy is reletively low in Japan.'

  Not true ! Teenage births are low... abortion remains the number one form of birth control in Japan.

  When I was a child growing up in suburban America it was the norm to play baseball in the summer, go camping, fishing, sleep in a pup tent in the backyard, slip and slide in the watered down grass on the hot afternoon days, and visit the grandparents on the farm almost every weekend for canning strawberries or tomatoes… hardly the lifestyle suggested by the resident American hate monger cleo. When I think of places to raise my children, Japan is about the bottom of the list. Kiddie porn is rampant, both date and gang rapes seem to be extremely common as is enjokosai (simple prostitution by minors) and the country is just now coming to grips with its marijuana problem. Bullying, ijime, domestic violence, and other social issues pertaining to children are literally un-documentable as call-in-centers are flooded with victims seeking help to the point they have to shut down the lines ! Unlike Cleo, who gets her info about America from TV and magazines, I have actually lived in the USA. There is no better place to raise your kids. In Japan m 2 year old is already being subject to racism and gender bias, why the local obasans think my Japanese mothered child understands ‘harrooo” is a mystery. And they just about wet themselves when the little tyke does her head nodding bow and blurts out konchiwa… yeh, it needs a little work but the locals here just stand slack jawed like the little one is some kind of freak of nature. Fortunately our days here in this racist society are numbered. The question poised here is easy to answer… Japan is a great place to raise your kids if you want them to be Japanese. Women bound to the kitchen, men off to slave away at Japan Inc. However, if you want your kids to have a real life, prepare for the ups and downs of the real world, enjoy the benefits of true freedom… including freedom of speech… well then pack your backs and say sayonara before they are out of diapers. Don’t make the same mistake Cleo did. Just look at how bitter she has become, attacking the US at every opportunity… sour grapes Cleo, sour grapes !
