8 death sentences would be the only thing these people deserve. OMG unbelievable. When I thought Japan was sick, it shows me it can be sicker!

Looks like there is a red cross under the photo. Perhaps it is a "No Dieing" area.

KyotoChris, if GM, Ford, and Chevy had the same support as Toyota and Honda, in-terms of Government intervention, I am sure they could improve. As for a car, who drives the same car for 300,000 miles. Most if not all exchange new cars ever 5 years or sooner. What's the point. I think you should clarify. Used Cars sales I could understand thinking about long term, but who really cars. The American stimulus is for America not Japan or other countries. Buy American.

Got to love it. Buy U.S.A! I wish my idea would have been part of the law. I would have made it dependent on where it was made. 100% rebate for cars made by US automakers in the USA. 50% for cars produced overseas by foreign companies. And 75% for cars made by foreign owned companies made in the USA. American cars made overseas and the re-sold to Americans would get the same percentage. 50%. Keep my tax dollars in American working for Americans.

pop a cop and run. got to love it. they have it all on tape... scary. nothing will come of this. cops in japan are too weak. pull that in the states and you would get shot. here the crowd will even help you attack those overweight, power crazy boys in blue. SPAM a few years ago hit one with his car (well she was a traffic cop but still) the police need to learn their place.

How about letting the whole population vote. The Korean/Japanese have no rights to vote in Japan. They makeup about 15% of the population and when it suits Japaneses statisticians they are included in the Japanese citizen numbers, and when they don't, they are eliminate. Why not give permanent residents the right to vote seeing almost no one can become Japanese.

I'm sure he didn't hit them hard. It said no one was injured. And Japanese people get injured so easily. A like slap on the cheek might be just think thing for these kids. What's so bad. I bet they don't forget to follow the rules. What if one of those snacks had peanuts in them and one of the kids ate it and was allergic. Then we would be complaining that the teacher did not control his class. Double standards. No worries. I support this teacher for at least trying. But trying is not rewarded here. It is hammered down. Only in Japanese is "different" and "wrong" the same word: "chigao"

Point 1. Why do westerners keep doing these strange things. If the white woman wasn't with them I am sure they wouldn't be standing around in lettuce leaves. Point 2. Why can't Japanese come up with their own words. Everything is made in to katakana without any thought if anyone can understand it. Unlike almost every other language in the world. Butchering English doesn't help. Butcher your own language.

Been going here for years, but last weekend the sea was oily there. And the smell was offensive. Not a recommend point!

Japan please stop, stop not smoking. Please smoke. We need your money in America. WE have a great scam going. We produce the tobacco, then when you get cancer, we supply the drugs to maybe help cure you. In addition we get the added benefit of watching you kill yourselves. We have a wonderful scam. (I was even told recently by a friend that smoking is good for you and Japanese don't get cancer because it was a western problem." Loved it. Keep your head in the sand.

Had it done 7 years ago! Still 20/20 and can't speak more about it! Do it. Why people wear glasses is beyond me. It's basic human improvement that we all should have covered under insurance, as it is in America.
