Yes, up until the 17th Centaury. Since then it is square and ugly and utilitarian. There is no beauty in modern Japan, just as there is no soul. Visit Europe and adjust your reference.

They should be charged with assault and sacked immediately. The parents should sue the principle and teacher personally. Make them suffer.

Duh, when was the last time you saw someone doused with gasoline and set on fire, on TV? FAIL
Do you really think he cared about getting away with it?
Really? So the 99% of people who live in peace are to be judged by the 1% who want to kill or wage war............ FAIL

Guess the teleprompter said go to Copenhagen.......... pity he does not have enough character to admit, that the whole summit is based on fake data.......but I guess he is not as dumb as Blair, who admitted that the science was faked, but that they should do the summit anyway.

Where were the teachers? Baseball bats on hand, that should be 7 dead dogs and one or two teachers with and adrenalin rushes. With pack dogs you take out the leader and the rest will run.
The owner off the dogs should be jailed. The dogs should be put down.

You should care! Your country is now in more debt that a generation can pay off. And Obama want to add to the debt! The US dollar is loosing its lustre and your buying power is being depleted. But don't worry about it, I am you can find some other fool country to buy your debt.

Funny how the "enlightened" liberals cannot stand an opposing opinion. Since when is discussion "scaremongering?" Rabble? You do have a high opinion of yourself don't you.

Sarah Palin is to serious politics what Mickey Mouse is to period dramas.
Yes. We need idiots that spend trillion on stimulus packages that don't work. We need politicians to introduce health bills that will cost further trillions, when the cupboard is bare. Honestly, nothing Palin could do could be any worse than the "geniuses" in power now.

At least, for the time being there is freedom of expression in the US. Obama would have it the other way. Australian journalism is pretty good IMHO.

You have no idea of the speed the truck was travelling at. What distance is required to stop such a truck from 40km/hr or 30Km/hr. More than most would expect.
It is sad that the boy died, sad for his family and friends and sad for the truck driver. His livelihood may now be in question & he will have to live with what has happened . But without more information asserting blame to one party or the other is just irrelevant. I have seen as many speeding trucks as I have stupid actions by pedestrians. They are both unfortunately too common in Japan.

Classes in Japanese schools are typically of 40 or so student. When was the last time anyone here tried to manage 40 student? Sure the teachers are responsible for what happens when they are on duty, but there has to be some consideration for the stupidly huge class sizes they are forced to teach.
Re class size. I am referring to my knowledge of class sizes at two schools, one in Akatsutsumi and the other in Machida.

Rubbish. People don't typically buy 4WD's here unless they are needed. Most of Japan is mountainous, about 20% is urban sprawl. I have a Prado and it is clean as new. But I haul a Supermoto bike to the track every weekend on it, in summer. Go off-road camping about 10 time a year. Haul a Canadian canoe on it and spend time on the beautiful lakes out near Fuji and up in Fukishima. In winter I drive to the snow fields with the family. In the fall I go photo touring off-road to get to places you never would. I know other people with 4WD’s and all are active with their vehicles.

9 Trillion is the current estimate. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090825/plnm/usobama_budget
But I am sure he will manage to spend more before he is finished. China owns almost 25% of US debt, but they are souring on buying more. If public health cover is adopted add that to the above figure........
