    This is so racially typical of the world. Whenever a person of color assumes a position of authority, the first thing everyone wants to do is dump the entire world's problems on him so that if he does screw up something, they can all point a finger and say (or…

    I think this is a deeper social problem. Japanese aren't taught how to deal with stress nor are there any counselors here. With the economy going to hell, people aren't able to cope with the stress and I think we will start to see an increase in incidents like this…

    My question is how did they get the money out of the ATM? I can understand stealing the machine but aren't those things supposed to be unbreakable?

    These young men and women have it tough serving in the military so far from home. They experience a lot of stress. I wonder if these measures are going to be helpful. I can understand schools but limiting recreational activities like bungie jumping just doesn't seem to make sense.

    True. Japan is the only I know of where a hospital 'closes'. I've gone to a hospital many times with what I thought may be an emergency only to be told we're closed, find another hospital with an emergency room. Being turned away at the door of ANY hospital is…

    The ironic thing is that these are EXACTLY the kind of people who Obama is trying to help (the poor underclass). The McCain/Palin campaign could care less about this demographic; they are just using their poor intellect to stir up racial hatred and get themselves elected to office.

    This woman is an opportunist and nothing more. Too beautiful to be a politician? She never wanted to be one in the first place you can tell by her callous remark to losing her support base ("I regret the break-up of the support group but it’s no use crying anymore”).…

    It works both ways. If the Japanese didn't feel so much pressure to speak English to guests, and the guests made an effort to learn the basic Japanese necessary to get by in a hotel, there'd be no problems.

    Been in J-tainment for 22 years and I can tell you that she's just like any other J-tainer who's screwed her way to good fortune. Having met and talked with her, I can tell you that her "bitchyness" is NOT an act. She's a real bitch and I don't much…

    How the hell do you drop a gun to your head? Especially in a bathroom stall? Suicide 99.9% likely. The question is why? It's sad that a human life was lost, but scary to think this guy was a police officer with access to a gun and could have hurt…
