    dano2002 I disagree with that, Rugby is a worldwide sport, you have named 5 central American nations in your post above, thats not worldwide.

    A sevens tournament is all over in two days and requiring only one stadium. Perfect for the Olympics. Anyone of a dozen teams is a medal…

    gondola?!? I believe the North American term is 'zipline', the British term is 'aerial runway' and the Australasian word and my favorite is 'flying fox' Gondola is something very different.

    p.s. where are all the usual JT suspects berating the parents for poor parenting and lack of supervision?

    Drop Soccer, baseball gone for 2012 huh? thats good. How about softball? drop that too and field hockey. team sports with many players and long matches dont need to be at the Olympics. Basketball and volleyball just slip in.

    Hammer, discus and shotput are the pure classical athletic discliplines, they…

    Very critical on here today aren't we all?, we don't know the circumstances so why get sanctimonious and jump to conclusions? 6 years old and 4 years old, these aren't babies and if playing together don't necessarily need 100% supervision, I sure didn't get it when I was that age…

    williamsmith - hit the bullseye with the Chinese, ask an airline cabin attendant who are the worst passengers, most will tell you its the Chinese. Mao has a lot to answer for with his classless society, he made it "classless" in all possible senses of the word.

    Loud obnoxious Americans,…

    nice p.o.v recreation of the boar running into the kindy. I know people who live in the hills above Kashiwara City in Osaka and the inoshishi are a menace, they have traps in their gardens to catch them. Destructive creatures wild boars especially if they start rooting around in…

    oba-hans chatting loudly about inane things in oba-han voices and these are the same people who are the first to complain about others (esp young people) for what they see as rude behaviour. damn hypocrites.

    Seat hogs, your bag doesn't need a seat. Also the bench seats that take 6…

    I dont buy the line, "it's their territory, Mr Horinuki was trespassing" This man had just as much right to be in the Mtns as any animal, perhaps he lived nearby and it was his territory too. Where is a humans territory? only in cities and designated safe places free…

    why was he such a right wing nutjob? that always put me off him.

    "always", but he wasnt always rightwing, he was quite left for quite a while until he became disillusioned with the left (and who can blame him there...)
