    Thats really sad that a couple "in love" can see nothing worth living for. Love usually pushes people to climb the highest mountain and swim the most vast sea, not die in a suicide pact because theyve given up on life. Death of this nature and love don`t match.

    This guy truly deserved the death penalty. I wish he`d found peace and repentence before his death, but still he needed to be executed with or without repentence. It would have been the worst injustice ever to these innocent girls and their families to have let him off without death.

    I agree with others that my first impression from the photo was those "beefy arms". I think its a man. Also middle aged women often have short hair. I think thats a wig being worn.

    By the way, I dont think asking someone if its okay to recline one`s seat is a good idea b/c what happens if the person asked said "no". Does the person then make the situation worse by going ahead and exercizing their right by reclining the seat anyway or do…

    Im surprised ppl are complaining about reclining seats since that is what the seats are made to do especially on long flights. I always recline my seat to sleep. How can you sleep sitting with a straight flat back? Ppl always recline their seats in front of me and Ive…

    I find the news reports in Japan lack details. This article did not report whether rules had been discussed or not about roof top behavior so we can`t make broad assumptions that the school or teacher never set guidelines. Personally I find the Japanese to have guidelines to almost every…

    Like someone else said, I have no complaints about fellow passengers. Were all in the same boat and I have found fellow passengers to be easy to fly with, but its the airline employees that I could write a book of complaints about. They are the RUDEST people I have…

    I cant speak for Tokyo but in my town the schools have done beautiful renovation of the schools. I think enough tragedy has occurred so we shouldnt be going after someone`s blood to make someone pay for this. I think a much more responsible, mature, and effective response is to…

    "Was the boy fat?" The boy just died. What sort of a question is that? If he was fat, did that make it his fault? Should fat kids all be excluded from rooftop activities? Does that mean it should be considered safe for skinny to average kids to romp around…

    Western, do you really want the Japanese police to turn into western police who are brutal, controlling, and rude? I`ll take the Japanese police any day. Compare the crime rates of Western countries with Japan and see which is working more effectively. Sometimes overbearing police can drive volatile ppl to…
