    Good thing they didn't forget to mention that the reason the innocent little Japanese student was pulled into the evil world of drugs was because of that kudaranai foreign influence over in India. If our pure and proper Japanese boys would just stay in our proud country as they're supposed…

    pot plant? Obviously this guy doesn't have marijuana, but I've never heard anyone say pot plant instead of potted plant. Do British people say that or something?

    Equality cannot be reduced to black and white. Men and women are not "equal", because the word man and the word woman are different words. What does that mean? Further, I am not Bob, and Bob is not me... My name's not Bob and I've never met him. So even…

    The article is curiously void of cogniscent recognition that they are getting paid to WORK. It is not considered acceptable in countries to which Japan holds itself standard to for a prisoner to be used as slave labor. They are there to be incarcerated. However, if they work, at least…

    niku and WDM - I think you're missing the point.

    Asking the question "Why don't Japanese speak English better than they do?" is not as ridiculous a question as you think. You're trying to portray that it's similar to saying something like "Why don't English people speak Japanese better than…

    Japanese are socially highly sensitive and intelligent, and, at least the old generation, has a somewhat uniform and consistent, good education. So, as someone above posted, in the same way tatemae will cause someone with a serious opinion on something to just get walked all over, or go through life…
