I wish it wasn't about publicity and celebrities for you, but the real issue: that millions of animals are dying every second for no other reason than our selfishness, and you have seem to forgotten that. I will leave you to your fancy ads and naked celebrities, they seem to grab more attention anyways, eh?
Moderator: Please focus your comments on the topic, namely Kim Basinger's letter to Yohji Yamamoto.

I'd say to Kim Bassinger, if you want to attach yourself to a cause, how about something important

I might add that anti-fur crusaders are an example of white imperial intrustion, and will end up harming indiginous communities in Canada and Antarctica, just so a load of celebrities can feel important about themselves. Do some research and you will find out that these peoples have relied on fur-trapping and selling it for thousands of years, and in some cases like Aboriginies in Australia are in a spiral of recession and alcoholism.
I'd rather wear fur than see eskimos starve. You'd rather eskimos starve than wear fur. It's clear we have different points of view.

I am pro animals and also pro human and pro not getting on a high horse about something just because it is trendy and easy to do so.

You respect famous people like Kim Basinger and Richard Gere. Me too - I also love Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise. We've got something in common.
Paris Hilton has stimulated the economy for years and we have a lot to thank her for. Still, I ask you to tell inuits not to wear fur as well then, as well as models and other people you seem to despise so much.

I love this fur free thing, and now the Japanese are being harbingered as well as for whaling. It becomes news when you get Kim and Yohji's names on the headline.
What next ? How about some inuit eskimoes?
"We'd rather go naked and starve and cast off thousands of years of tradition than wear fur".
Something tells me that the anti-fur people and the Taji dolphin posse have a lot in common.
They go for easy targets, like Japan They like to fawn about going on about eco this and green that, but only about things that happen to be cool enough for them to be interested, like cute animals, solar powered anti-whaling vessels etc.
Out in the Serengeti, the animals don't start a movement like "we'd rather go hungry than watch crocodile eat emu". They just accept that man is the master of animal in some environments and this is just the way our bacteria prevail. It's ludicrous to just pick out one example of a cute animal and protest against it to make yourself look important.

Just because kids watch violent movies, it doesn't make them violent.
However, if you allow an economy to thrive on porn and vice then don't be surprised if all sorts of odd crime and sex happens. Just don't, OK ?
Japan could be like the Amsterdam of the world, except tourists could come here in their droves to "child porn cafes" where you can have a coffee and a cake and read a comic adorned with 8 year olds in thongs.
Times are changing, If Japan wants to be first world, clear out all the Oyaji scum from politics and publishing and use your army to prop up your might against the yakuzza scum, and make this a progressive nation. At the moment you get the feeling it is just a concrete porn paradise with a few rivers left to go on JR advert campaigns.
Moderator: All readers back on topic please.

who knows they may have been mentally ill ? they must have been.
No sane people would do this. Therefore they were insane. Insane people. Committ them to mental hospital.
Horrible of course. The existence of this kind of crime means that soceities must have well-equipped mental health infrastructure to minimize long-term damage.
Oh, and making child sex videos illegal or even actively outlawing them EVEN though they make a lot of money for some people, (call me old-fashioned here I don'T mind) ... . well could be a good idea maybe for promoting a better moral culture ? Maybe ?

it's usually a reflection on the parents. 12 hour flights to Europe and my two sleep pretty well, and if they don't, I walk around and play with them till they sleep.

A lot of these comments are true, but in our lifetimes pot will not be legalized.
Holland for example has halfed the homicide rate by legalizing murder, in their famous murder cafes. The same should be done with pot

Why does Japan Today continue to print sensational news all day long ? Any nation has its fair share of daily shocking news. A little bit of perspective would be appreciated
Moderator: Specifically, what do you mean by perspective? What story would you like us to report on today?

“My son did something no respectable man should do. I just want to yell at him, ask him if he thinks this is what good adults should be doing.”
No, indeed. he should be out in the izakaya drinking and smoking, coming home late, and reading lewd cartoons like good adults do in this country.
