Most exciting surely MMA. Most boring... well not much meaning left to the word "sport" if you take MMA out.

Hey Sarge and Palmersun, the guy was convicted of "abusive sexsual conduct", not rape. He admitted to holding the girl down and kissing her didn't he? Even japanese law would require the girl to make a complaint remember that he is also a US marine currently in service in Japan.…

why do comments from one article get moved to another just like that? But the original article never mentioned a conviction for rape. Mind you, this subtlety will probably be ignored by the guy's cell mates. So yeah, he may have got only 3 years but they are likely going…

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this the same "shouldn't-exist-in-Japan" stuff that was found in the gyosas?

how about the obvious like maternity/paternity leave, better job security not just for salarymen, reduced overtime hours? I also think a more open society would help. My impression of Japan is that unless you have money for jukus and expensive schools and universities your child is condemned to a life…

cleo thanks for clearing that up. Ok, that's despicable. But at the end of this article it says the practice is not illegal as long as food safety is preserved. But I just don't see how they could guarantee any degree of safety after the food had been played around…

rjd_jr, I worked in many restaurants and never seen the practices you talk about. But I think this article fails to define what it means with the word "leftover". U prepared a platter too many for a party and you just give it to the next ones? Unless you have…

How about this article is an incredible collection of cliches? The only one left out is violent videogames - how can you forget this in Japan? Oh yes the good old "traditional values", like when my grandfather used to knock my grandmother allover the house while calling her a slut…

How about the bottled tea commercials where they show people binging on junk food without any sense of guilt because "hey, this tea will melt all the fat away!" That surely should be included in this article?
