It seems most of these recent killers had a history of violent behaviors towards family members even before the crimes. They should pay more attention to boys/men who are prone to domestic violence and animal cruelty and get them into some therapy/training/counseling in the earliest stage. I've read about many…

Can't they get rid of these ugly power lines? Every time I go back to Japan, I get overwhelmed with way too many power lines. They are such eye-sores and I don't understand why they don't hurry up and bury all of them.

As Japan works to promote closer ties with China and Russia, the funding and the scale of the US forces within Japan should be reduced proportionally. As for Iran and other Isramic nations, Japan does not have any of religious, political,cultural or historical problems with them as the US, Israel…

I don't see the US having any set plan regarding Japan or Asia nowadays.

They will want to wait and see how all those different forces will work themselves out and form a new Asia. Even then, what the US or any country ultimately want for an ally or a…

I agree with Mr.Liddell many Japanese men are so spoilt by their mothers that they don't realize how self-centered they are. Many Caucasian men, on the other hand, are so delusional that they would never, ever doubt they are anything less than perfection. They may think this as self-confidence, but…

I can't think anything dumber to do, even for bored old housewives.

Japan should seriously question why so many Japanese women waste their lives on silly stuff like this..low self esteem? I get a feeling this kind of behavior is somehow related to Japan's high suicide rate. Many seem totally…

I can't find words to describe the magnitude of this tragic calamity. My deepest condolence to all those suffering from this earthquake.

Beyond that, I am very impressed with their whole handling of it.

Now that both countries have been roundly accused for opressing others, the tie between the two should become a lot more balanced and pleasant.

This is a good trend for the whole Asia, for they should be able to do a lot of positive things when they are willing to…

I hope SONY sponsors atheletes of any nationality, not just Japanese, since it sells its stuff and makes money everywhere.

I think Japanese firms which do business overseas should create scholarships and sponsorships for locals rather than trying to help only Japanese do well.

Most US firms do not care…

When China is shamelessly and tirelessly pumping out lies and propagandas everyday, it has no moral authority to attack on an honest comment made by our lovable curmudgeon.
Are they serious when talking about "professional ethics of journalism"? Yes, they need it more than anybody.
