    Better to have a doting mother than to be spend one's childhood being raised by nannies, babysitters, daycare centers etc. I thank God my mother was there every day when we came home from school. You can't put a price tag on that. Having a strong relationship with one's mother…

    rranta how then do you account for the long established tradition of hari-kiri and seppuku in Japan? "Death before dishonor" sort of mentality is not some new, modern invention in the the Japanese psyche.

    I'm so sick of South Korea and Japan bashing the US for helping then defend themselves. We should have pulled all US troops out of Korea and Japan a long time ago. If we had Japan and South Korea would now be part of the North's empire. But if we…

    This is a total outrage! Talk about a travesty of justice. 7 years for willfully, brutally murdering another human being and cutting up her body, and it was his own sister?! WHAT THE HECK JAPAN!? YOU CALL THIS JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIM? This makes me truly disgusted. In the old…

    Some people are just plain evil. They seem to lack a conscience, they feel no guilt, shame or remorse in harming others. Their existence is totally narcissistic, they exist only to satisfy their own wants and desires, they are actutely sensitive to their own thoughts/feelings/pain but totally insensitive to others.…

    Another thing to consider is the state of mental health treatment and awareness in Japan. Most people who commit suicide are depressed. People in a depressed mental state are thinking abnormally at a neurchemical level. They need help. I don't live in Japan so I don't know how much of…

    I wonder what the suicide rate per capita is in Japan versus the United States - anyone know?

    How much of this is that they were pushed by overwork to the breaking point and how much is it cultural forces at work (overwhelming expectations, fear of dishonoring one's company/parents/family/country)?
