angelxtears at 03:41 PM JST - 3rd February "Take it or leave it! U.S.A needs to mind its own business!!"
They are. They are supporting their innocent citizens who have been wronged by the archaic and xenophobic laws of this oppressive regime. Imagine, the most powerful country on earth - economically and militarily - willing to let ties with the second most powerful economic country on earth for a handful of its citizens. Amazing. Yet, I'll bet your pathetic and insignificant country wouldn't show a 100th of such support for your whining, tear-streaked face. Jealousy sucks, huh?

Also, because most Japanese still see themselves as the superior race. The, "Japanese are just different from the rest of the world" attitude is how they go about all their international business.

"Under the terms of the Nationality Law here in Japan, both of the children are allowed to claim dual nationality up until such time as they reach the age of majority. "
VERY good point. JUST cuz they have J passports, does not mean they are not American as well...

"She ignored a US court order, but all 4 involved are Japanese citizens"
The fact that he is NOW Japanese is a technicality and you know it. The lived in America. She broke American law. SHE is the original criminal here, and were she to step foot on US soil, she'd be arrested for it - and for good reason.
I'm not racist. I just don't have my head in the sand like many OTHERS around here. I am married to a Japanese woman. Notice, in my last post, I said "typical cold, selfish Japanese b*tch." My wife is not typical. She is intelligent and warm-hearted. She sees the forest for the trees here - which most J women cannot. She gets it, and she is Japanese; so why can't you?

"did he cheat on Nori-S with that Amy lady? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Perhaps. But she is probably a typical cold, selfish Japanese b*tch - look what she did with the kids and ignoring a court order. Which may be the very reason why she was dumped.

mnemosyne23 : " If she was raped, I can absolutely understand her reasons for not wanting to keep the baby, though I can never, EVER condone her methods. Even if the child was stillborn, a human body should be treated with respect and dignity, not thrown out like garbage. And if the child was NOT stillborn, and might in fact have lived had it been delivered and cared for properly, then there is no excuse -- none -- for her actions. Find a hospital, a police station, a temple, a church -- somewhere. There ARE people who are willing to help, and if you want to get rid of the baby and never see it again, that can be done, too. Anything less is murder."
Bravo! Unfortunately, your words fall silent on the deaf ears of those who have no soul, no compassion for anyone who infringes upon their self-proclaimed rights to do as they please - damn the victims in their wake.
Compassion and empathy for the criminal is psychopathic, at best.

HalcyonDaze at 10:18 PM JST - 1st September "The self-righteous and uncompassionate attitude of some of the posters on this site is almost as shocking as the "crimes" they are so quick to condemn."
I've tons of compassion - for the baby. That, obviously, is the difference betwixt my sort and yours - I have compassion for the innocent victims, you have compassion (empathy?) for the murderous scum. That simple.
Show me a society where dumping a baby and leaving it to die ISN'T a crime, and I'll show you a vile puddle of vomit that, obviously, is your dreamworld.

Yes. They should "remove" A LOT more than they do.

****motytrah at 05:49 AM JST - 26th June There are Nerds in the West who are just as introverted. In particular ones that have Asperger syndrome. Then again, there are a lot of Otaku who aren't introverted at all. Say what you will about them, but they make up a multi-billion dollar market group world wide.****
