as it is aimed at the japanese themselves & not the foreigners, they should use the language as they please. a majority of them have no clue what the sayings mean anyway. to them it just looks cool. same in english speaking countries. they use kanji on shirts & things,…

the problem is that people basically don't care. they say they do, but then do nothing about it. the only time it seems that the majority of people care is when it is directly affecting them. oh, my house is under water. i should cut back on my co2 emissions…

you should be able to wear what you like wherever you like, but the reason i support the ban because when women visit muslim countries they have to cover their heads & so on. the way to go would be a worldwide agreement 1 way or the other.

as they were found "unconscious" not "dead" and the japanese are not allowed to (as far as i know) do on the scene emergency procedures, it seems as that could be a major cause of their death. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

i'm not sure if it's the most effective, but it sure would help. there has to be something attached to the ban. like huge fines, jail time or something of that sort. also a ban on serving it in restaurants followed with fines as well.

sorry, but i disagree with this. "rules are made to be followed".

although it isn't the teacher's right to hit the kids, these kids do need a whack in the back of the head from time to time. half the class didn't follow rules. i'm sure i'd lose my cool as well, but maybe just cancel the excursion.

to sfjp330,

this is a different system here compared to the states, hence the questioning by the jurors. the jurors here will also decide the sentence, which also does not happen in other countries.
