Punish him for his dangerous stupidity.
Fireworks should be banned anyway.
People participate due to peer pressure. Nobody really enjoys them.

Why don't these famous people marry commoners? Just look at that movie, Nodding Hill to see how well it can work.

I don't think it's Emiri's fault for wearing it. She's a model - she has to wear whatever is given to her. I happen to love it, though. She's an incredibly beautiful woman.

seems like a lot of people misunderstand that the Japanese are "A" superior people, not "THE" superior people.
That's why they are in the G-8, right?

Love that phonemic chart. I studied the chart a little and completely failed so many sounds. Fun challenge, though.
Love to hear what Mr. de Mente has to say, too. He's a good writer and understands Japan really well. He wrote the original book on picking up women so I feel obligated to buy this one.

How sad.
Anyway, as a teacher, I like to predict which students will end up in the electric chair, which will be sent to prison for a stretch and so on. It would be nice to have information on what these people were like as youths.

Congratulations on your wedding. Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Each poster should state how long they've been married. Then we can put their comments in perspective.
I've been married eight years and am not quite to the point where I'd pay for sexual services yet. However, I have noticed my wife slacking off in the kitchen. I'd be willing to pay for some cooking lessons and provide some incentive for her to make food other than Japanese food.

Has the inventor of the surgery even tried it yet? No. He's waiting for the long term results to come in to see if it's safe.

Yeah, even a fake cell phone call such as: "Right, officer. Right, right. She's approximately 37 years old with a pockmarked pasty face. A really saggy #ss and incredibly small ######. Her teeth are stained and it smells like she had ramen for lunch. Yes, officer I will wait and point her out to you."
It would help if you could say that in Japanese.

This will increase unemployment even further. The rich will wonder what the point of working harder is if they only get to keep 40% of their marginal income.
You can eat the rich - once.

That was a great story. You showed great restraint with that insane woman. Your son might become a violent person if you had hit her.
Calling the cops would have been a waste of time perhaps, but who knows? What if your son had a vertabrae or something dislodge? We don't always notice those things right away. Soft tissue damage takes a while to develop, too. It might have been a good idea to have had an x-ray taken. The woman could have been forced to pay for that. It's hard to think of that on the spot though.
I could tell by watching games on TV that I would never enjoy going to a baseball game in Japan. In fact, sports in general is, around the world, full of disturbed people on and off the field.
The writer of this story merely states his own experience. He doesn't say this is true of all places in Japan.
Also, you certainly don't have to cheer for Yokohama if you get stuck sitting in "their section".
