guns are so embedded in u.s. culture & so many millions own guns, that it's too late to stop ownership . obviously, much safer in countries w/out firearms & they should never change the laws in those countries.

agree & disagree . good to find out things about certain countries & or governments, but personal comments about someone should be kept just that, personal.

the trains & buses aren't too bad, but not too nice in a restaurant. also, for some odd reason, people seem to scream when talking into a cell phone. also have to learn how to use manner mode!

y*?
well, japanese being over 80% buddhist would explain why they don;t take a holiday on christ's b-day. lights are just for advertising & enjoyment also as many households also decorate. as for doing it too early, it's a lot of work putting up decorations , so kind of wasteful if only doing it for such a short time. from november is cool. lightens the mood as well.

.* exactly! that is not something the j-cops usually look for. & as their duty was most likely just checking for cars running thru the light, the wouldn't enforce anything else.

in the american NHL there are 30 teams & 16 get into the playoffs. same with the NBA. a team coming in last in their division can reach the playoffs if they have a good enough winning percentage . so, in comparison, the japanese league system doesn't look too bad after all. that being said, that free win to the division leader is a bunch of c_ _ p !

latin american countries don;t want the usa to legalize marijuana as it would cut into their profits substantially. they make much more money having it illegal & smuggling it into usa.
