    Foreigners like us, who are used to seeing cops manhandle

    I'm not used to seeing cops manhandle people. When I was a kid my parents taught me that if I was ever in trouble I should go to the nearest bobby for help. It was only a long time after…

    I'd rather be arrested in Japan by a Japanese cop than by one of the macho-cops in other countries. How often do you hear of people in Japan being tasered by cops for failing to move quickly enough, or for talking too much? How often do you hear of people…

    SuperLib is right, 532 dead in just one month, years after 'Mission Accomplished' and the restoration of Peace, Liberty and the American Way, is something to crow about.

    Or eat crow pie over.

    Not sure which.

    I'd like to see the scoffers on JT try to do the coppers' job. Most of them wouldn't last past a couple of shifts. Heck, most of them wouldn't even get through basic training.

    presto -

    Could be. That's what I meant when I said I don't think we should drag them into the 21st century. I'm opinionated enough to avoid sitting on the fence for most issues, but on this topic I'm a determined straddler.

    Not only IT - there seems to have been an influx in recent years of Indian people opening restaurants here. On the whole very good authentic (I think) food, very good service and they don't look at you funny if you ask for vegetarian. Way to go.

    Yes.

    Most people have to work gradually towards it.

    I guess we were just lucky.

    I never know what to think when I read of 'lost tribes' in the jungle. Should we invade their space, chop down their trees and drag them into the 21st century? Well, no...

    But on the other hand, it seems rather arrogant of us as we sit in air-conditioned comfort,…

    I had the freedom to develop more or less as I wanted to,..... without too many hang-ups

    Don't worry Mr Liddel, we see your hang-ups quite clearly. So you came through your childhood with a massive superiority complex. Great.

    Girls fare better; they tend to like intense one-to-one relationships. But…

    From the title I thought this would be a rubbish piece insulting the Japanese male from the superior perspective of the Western male.

    I was wrong.

    It's a rubbish piece insulting the Japanese mother and by extension all SAHMs, from the superior perspective of the Western male. Well done Liddell…
