How do people die on a bus? Even if it flipped over, which it didn't. And the kicker, 95% of the dead were in their 20's. U would think their bodies would be best equipped to handle an accident best. So sad.

I've been lucky in Aichi. Every doctor I've visited from psychiatrist to physician to dentist, had their training in the US, sothey speak excellent English on top of the peace of mind. I hope all can be as lucky. Good luck.

How about buses? Or car pooling? Nah, that would be too hectic. Hmm, if only pedestrians have more sense about looking both ways EVEN though it's a green man flashing telling you it's safe. I'm sure all of you have witnessed this. Always be on the look out for OTHER people's mistakes, or that's what I was taught. Avoided so man close calls that way.

I'm so grateful for Japan and no cleavage showing. It's so hard for my eyes to keep eye contact when speaking to cleavage. It was stressful for me. Back home. I hated getting caught. It's just me. Most men love getting caught but that's just too perverted for me and for the Mrs.

What are you all going off on?? Are you all imagining a half hour beat down?? It could have been one kick to the throat ( unintentionally of course!) They weren't out there to kill. To teach a lesson gangsta style. I'm sure that kid was also part of the bad kid crowd out at 1:00 am. Calm down people. Accidents happen all the time and people die. This was an accident. Bad fn luck for all involved. And I know many many teens that took the wrong route but turned their life alone completely as adults. For most its a phase. Nothing to do with raising your kids.

Honestdictator, they would punish a parent for a kid's wrong doing, and since the father is dead, it might be deemed as enough. It's what I heard as a child growing up in the gulf, but it could have just been an old wives tale to scare the kids...

But for once they had the senses to know quickly when to quit. Unlike most businesses in Japan who after years in the red, I mean yeeeaaars, have the balls to ask for tax money, to bail them out. No, I would say his Harvard came into play, quit on cue, and just because consumers are dumb and willing to pay in Japan, doesn't mean the company is to blame. companies make bad investments all the time. Knowing when to cut your losses...and learn from them.

Mexico, although I agree with u, a friend of mine brought up a great point. Bloody civil wars is the cost of freedom. France and the US are 2 that quickly come to mind, oh, fall of USSR too. AFRICA, dear Africa, millions, upon millions in Mozambique, Sudan...recently Syria...so sad...humanity hasn't really changed. Wars in this day and age just does not make any sense. RIP innocent people.

Could this be a ploy by the US to use Iran as an excuse to push itself ahead?? Would there be an oil shock for the US? Is all of the stolen Iraqi oil going to the US or are they sharing the plunder? How is the US being affected economically vs other nations highly dependent on oil such as Japan. I feel that the US is trying to pull another sneaky move to further itself.

Ranger, once that happens, Japan will definitely hit bottom. Smoking is also a social thing. IzakayAs would close down all over Japan. Coffee shops too. People would rather stay home and smoke. Or, other businesses like snacks and kabukura would turn into a lounge where people could order food as well as smoke and mingle with young girls.

What horsefella doesn't realize that most of us who own droids also have had or do own iPhones or other mac products. I love iMacs, 5 years and not a problem, so ya, reliable. I had an iPhone 3g on the first day. Some things are better on the iPhone vs my HTC but my HTC works more like a computer than a phone which is why I love it being Open. Love the larger screens, and I especially love their browser. You don't need to scroll left or right when u zoom on a web page. Font size auto adjusts to fit perfectly on your screen, so u only need to scroll up and down when surfing. Are there other phones that have such a browser?

Open means, I can use any application, formats, on android without having to convert into apple format or using iTunes. It's like jailbreaking your iPhone, but with droids, they come jailbroken. Love the fact of draging my files right into my phone without having to go through iTunes or converting them from flac to avi or what have u..media files such as movies is the most pain staking procedure to download on your iPhone from pc, unless you BUY the movie from iTunes. It takes over an hour to convert into playable format on iPhone. That's just one tiny example of open vs closed.

I'm surprised price is not mentioned, for example, rental fee of the phone is 24,000 yen per week!! And then a whole bunch of connection fees, monthly fees (which makes no sense if renting for a week if you are going on a hike in a remote area) usage fees, insurance fees, cancellation fees, administration fees ( please feel free to add on the fees I missed)

Cheaper goods are now as good as and sometimes better than the "reliable" name brands. I went to a 100 yen shop and bought a cable that connects my iphone to my pc for a 100 yen!! The original or similar go between1000-2000 yen.

Israel gained independence in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust and became a refuge for hundreds of thousands of survivors of the World War II Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews. Some 200,000 aging survivors still live in Israel. GAINED my ars. Stolen from my grandparents land, my friends granddaddy land, by the BRITS, which colonized Palestine as they did much of the world. Once that was done, the genocide of Palestinians had officially started in the wake of the creation of Israel and continues to this day. What a bunch of hypocrites.
