    The people that I had on line, first told me that it was not possible to tell me the reasons due to the privacy of information. Nice!!!!! if I am not concern about the privacy of my own case, then who is concerned? I asked to my bucho to take the conversation with the operator. After speaking a little together, the operator told to my boss that because I made a mistake on the formular, the computer rejected my application. This was very strange because I filled the formular at the Shinsei bank (Shinjuku office) and I did it with an employee of the SHINSEI bank who checked all what we wrote at the end (then the probability to have made a mistake was close to zero). We said this to the operator and I proposed to fill again a formular at shinsei bank. The operator told us that it was not possible because when the computer rejected one time a custommer, it was not possible to apply again.

    I have had the EXACT same run around. It must be textbook BS studied by all these service reps. How can one correct an unknown problem?

    You know its really fascinating reading everybody's happy success stories (NOT!) but it seems most of you have not got any more clue why you were accepted and others rejected than anybody else. I am telling you that these run around stories are completely real no matter what your personal experience. And I can't tell you why that is because the bastards won't tell us WTF is going on.

    If everyone in the store had a gun none of this would have happened!

    I am surprised that the first one to say this did so in jest.

    I guess everyone realizes that these two offing eachother was the best outcome and it could not have happened if Toys-R-Us erupted in the gunfight that would ensue if a bunch of anonymous shoppers whipped out pistols, no one knowing the other from a hole in the ground.

    “Everybody talks about AIDS at cocktail parties,” Oldfield said. “But nobody wants to hear about diarrhea,” he said.

    He is right. I sure did not want to hear about it. If it kills five times the kids, then please put the money to preventing that. I don't want to hear about it again.

    mcheeky - it's widely available and distributed here, let alone 'soft' images of schoolgirls, "U-18" videos, etc. It's not a pretty situation,

    Okay. So ban it all. Take the lot of it and burn it. Please tell me what changes.

    what needs to happen is a wholesale change in attitudes such that young teens are no longer looked upon as sexual beings.

    That will require a frontal lobotomy for all males on the planet! Mark my words, you CANNOT change how physically matured females (which even young teens are) are viewed with out the surgery, or perhaps a Taliban style ban on ALL photography and dress ALL females in burkha. What you can change is what people do about it, but that will come with limited success.

    Why not?

    I think you had best start out by asking why it is illegal other places. I know the question is going to spark epileptic fits of "But, but, but...!", but it seems a very simple question that no one can answer adequately enough to justify the peeing in the wind this anti-child porn congress is advocating, as if its all just going to disappear if the porn is gone.

    One would think that instead of worrying about simple private possession of child porn, or prosecuting pedos that travel to countries where child prostitution is over-looked, they would muster their strength to pressure those countries to take the child prostitution situation seriously. Its a whole lot older than foreign pedos coming in to partake and it will certainly go on with barely a sputter if foreign pedos cease to go.

    But here they are pressing Japan, which prohibits creation and distribution of real child porn, to ban possession? Am I the only one that thinks they got far bigger problems to tackle?

    Do you actually believe that because the British Empire ruled over and colonised poorer nations in places such as Singapore and Hong Kong, then 60 years later in 2008 the British Government then has an automatic right to mouth-off about other nations who suffered comfort women ?

    What I principally believe is that since there is no one head with any real authority to this rag tag group of nations on the face of the Earth, that any of them have the right to voice opinions on things that happen in the world and it is perfectly acceptable to make suggestions.

    I would love it if it could be clearly defined what is whose business, and the wrong do-ers would be punished and the punishment would fit the crime and we had some clear organization with the authority to carry that out. Until that happens, I am quite happy with dialogue within the international community and hopeful there won't be any violence, because basically what we have is anarchy were all nations are free to talk or fight as it suits them.

    The chief job of the U.S. Secretary of State is foreign relations. Not sure if Hillary is the best choice for the task. But other countries may feel we have stepped back about 8 years on our foreign policy, and I cannot see that as anything but good.

    My feelings are mixed, but I think I would have prefered genuine change, and this isn't it.

    mcheeky, The Japanese government needs to make amends, that is without question, but to be told that by a bunch of hypocrits will just get their backs up and, therefore, make them less likely to move on the issue.

    Dualta, the Japanese have had more than sixty years to move. I don't think even they hypocritical words of an Englishman can do any harm at this point. Still, I find the British to be slightly less of hypocrits than the Japanese, who whine about the nukes (although that is done justly) but go on to deny the sex slaves.

    And the British Government shouldn't stick it's nose in other peoples business.

    I would not consider having an opinion and voicing it to be sticking one's nose in other people's business. Passing a binding resolution to force Japan by means of some punishment to apologize, now that would be sticking one's nose in other people's business.

    But the simple fact is that this is the business of the British. People from their former colonies were forced to be comfort women. They were still considered British subjects at the time. So, they have every right to side with other countries also wronged by Japan over this.

    Anyway, the MPs fell into a bit of a trap. "Comfort woman" is not synonymous with "sex slave". The Japanese had both legitimate comfort women and it also had sex slaves. It can be difficult to differentiate, as some women who began as real paid comfort women had their status degenerate into slavery. Meanwhile others were just so obviously kidnapped and raped, some to death.

    Japan could certainly be more apologetic about it.

    Ditto for my work; it requires enormous concentration that would be impossible to maintain if I had to be ready to respond to some moron bursting in with a gun on a moment's notice.

    Or a coworker whipping out his legally owned sidearm he carries everyday and going postal on everybody.

    Can't have it both ways.

    How about one way or the other? This third way of America's just ain't cuttin' the mustard.

    So this idea that bullet restriction is somehow responsible the low gun crime rate doesn't hold water. But nice try.

    Then why don't YOU tell us why and tell us how you plan to apply that the the U.S.?

    A lot of us are sick of random gun crime such as what just happened at Toys-R-Us. What is your plan?

    Laws restricting guns in society only apply to law abiding citizens and does little in taking weapons away from the criminally minded.

    Its not so much those who have guns right now. Its about those who will get them in the future. If the legal sale and manufacture of guns in the world were to stop tomorrow, what do you think would happen? Guns would eventually become as rare as they are in Japan, that is what would happen. Rome was not built in a day.

    Let us assume that 10 percent of all guns will be owned by criminals. Well, ten percent of 10,000 is a whole lot less than 10 percent of 2 million, and the death must necessarily plummet.

    the founding fathers were stupid not to put in stipulations that prevented what has come to be today

    Don't blame the American Founding Fathers for failing to predict over 200 years ago what can easily be seen today. There are plenty of amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as the Founding Fathers did not write it in stone. So, its not their fault Americans are too thick to fix this modern problem.

    Gun ownership rates might be high, but bullet ownership rates are extremely low.

    This may not be true. But the situation is very detailed and there are many rules and restrictions on firearms in Switzerland. The United States is not even close to Switzerland in any form except the high gun ownership rates. Until the United States copies the Swiss in that myriad of other areas, we can expect more stupid gun crime like this.

    I would rather just do away with the private ownership of guns though. Its not like we are a neutral nation surrounded by historic enemies and need such a militia is it?
