    Kikuchi was quoted as telling police that he was drunk and doesn’t remember anything

    Someone smarter than me should write a sociology thesis on how this Japanese catchphrase is indicative of the Japanese aversion to accepting responsibility.

    A poorly written, incoherent article. Either this was meant for a local high school paper or a real writer brought his son along on "Take Your Child to Work Day".

    I will speculate that this is directly related to the nuclear crisis and resulting contamination spread. I imagine the owners are packing up and either migrating southward or out of the nation.

    Out of the heart of Tokyo to a more profitable spot like...Kagawa? Don't think so. I think it has much more to do with their exhorbitant prices and the proliferation of Costcos.

    Cleo, the blurb Sioux chef posted dealt with the very same priest yet the numbers were 300 over a 10 year period. In Italy. Something stinks.

    I'll take this misrepresentation of what I posted as a "yes" on having no evidence for your claim. It is still a Catholic rite and the church hasn't abandoned it.

    SiouxChef - Almost every publication dealing with exorcisms mention that it was all but extinct in the 20th century, only to come back over the past 30 years, as I said, once in a blue moon in Italy and a few African countries. To say that this ridiculously small amount of incidents is indicative of the modern Catholic church is silly.

    Thomas Haynes - Maybe not best show ever, but it's up there. Bubbles for P.M.!

    RossBard - so if it's good enough for a Canadian it's good enough for a Yank? Thats so sweet of you, thanks! By the way, your thinly-veiled dig at African Americans may hint at why the U.S. is so far down the list. Just terrible race relations...

    Nonanon, RossBard - Someones Jealous! Where was the states again? Let me look down the list... RossBardJapan - the Vancouver riots where no one was killed? was that after the mass shootings in Arizona or mass shootings in Ohio? I get them mixed up these days...

    SiouxChef - Italy, perhaps the most catholic country in the world with a population of 61 million has seen exorcisms "balloon" to about 1 every 2 weeks on average (if you actually believe these numbers to be real). It is the only country mentioned in your article. Your attempts to show that exorcisms worldwide are common have failed.

    NetNinja - as always, your posts are erratic and confused. Your assertion that the 2006 Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep hit "The Devil Wears Prada" is proof of Lucifer's existence belongs in the Internet Poster's Hall of Fame. I salute you, my friend.

    SiouxChef - The fact that a few loonies out there still perform them once in a Blue Moon doesn't mean that it's either encouraged or condoned. You give the impression that its a nightly occurance

    tkoind - I didn't say people have moved beyond religion. Only that the great majority have put it in proper perspective. There is no excuse for exorcisms today in any case. These two idiots are just that; idiots who showed no sense or right and wrong. Saying that they were only following orders? Last time I heard that was Nuremburg.

    Nonanon - If this had happened back in the 1800's, then yes you could blame religion. However, in 2011 you have to blame 2 idiots ( who may or may not have meant to kill her). Marx's "Opium of the masses" quote mistakingly used by Ihavegreatlegs was to highlight unfair economic and class structures from over a century ago. While misquoting Marx at the local pub might impress some OL who doesn't know any better, it doesn't do any good here. The Catholic Church swore off exorcisms decades ago and Im pretty damn sure Buddhism doesn't condone it either.

    RossBardJapan - 160 Canadian soldiers have so far given their lives in Afghanistan. How neutral is that?

    RossBardJapan - how about Canada's knee-jerk non-support of the American war on Iraq which greatly pissed off W. and the rest of the far-right loonies?

    JA_Cruise - you don't call waterboarding, then drowning a mentally ill 13 year-old girl malicious? I can only imagine whatever else her father did to her.

    Religion is the opiate of the masses and has been used to kill people since people invented that silly stuff.

    greatlegs - I'm not the religious type, but your grandstanding fails to mention that whatever these two morons were doing had nothing to do with religion. Also you take out the quote out of context as only one girl was repressed, no masses that I can see. Other than that, you sound like a real intellectual.

    billyshears- to say the Japan high school rugby in Hanazono is "very famous" is a real stretch. Its a peripheral sport in Japan played by few high schools. The only thing I'd say was famous about the tournament is the waterworks. They cry when they lose, cry when they win, cry when they draw, cry getting off the bus..

    @hatsoff - someone with too much time on his hands is not irony, it's just sad.

    Sarrano- spoken like a true Michael Jackson fan, LOL! (again, is that a rule now?)

    Excuse me, sometimes I depend on people being exposed to Hollywood and mainstream media too much. I should've put it in layman's terms for you. Of course, I didn't know you were still around.

    NetNinja - Unfortunately I'm usually only exposed to mainstream media geared towards those over the age of 14, but do you really need to quote cute little comic books to make a point?

    Thats coming from Hoser
