An interesting article on ecstasy

I agree with other people, the guy is a dick and should be punished for his failure to render assistance etc.

Agree with you nemoflow, perhaps the pills contained something other than MDMA. As ecstacy is illegal, the chemistry is left up to criminals, by definition the worst people's hands to put your life into. A quick question for AK619- how would legalising drugs allow criminals to control Japanese people?

This story is nothing but voyeurism and schadenfreude. Get a life. What is this woman being publicly crucified for again- dancing inappropriately at a rave?

Osakadaz, Excellent post IMO. I also fully agree with Broome's action. They've left the door open for the continuation of the sister city relationship and simply stated that it cannot continue under current conditions. Broome is even offering to help develop alternatives to the sale of poisoned dolphin meat. There…

If you are incapable of assessing the risk difference posed by a perpetrator of a crime holding a gun, and an innocent citizen who happened to be armed trying to stop the perpatrator , then you have a very serious judgement deficiency.

Patent rubbish. How would you work this out…

I have to disagree with a couple of the posters here. Badge- you may be right about the level of facilities here, but if the parents pay taxes, their child deserves to be educated- as all Japanese regardless of abilities deserve the right to education. I question the 'what's the…

There are Japanese schools abroad or they attend private schools all paid for by the company.

Dokachin, this may be true in some cases. However, I've taught Japanese kids who were enrolled with very little English in Australia at publicly funded schools. There was never any provision or suggestion that…

But.. Japan isn't racist! Japanese people just don't know how to deal with foreigners, the child can't speak Japanese, the school can't make adequate preparations.... blah blah blah- more BS excuses from a country in denial.
