Don't let the media, bulletin boards or Mixi fool you!
This spin is created by a minority; a few (probably mostly guys) idiots who've nothing better to do than kick up a fuss over sick Ichihashi. Remember also, there's more than one Japanese guy attending an English school who's been refused a date by his young, white female teacher and is now very pissed off at how white males seem to have all the fun.

Why does nobody realise that the over-bandied around term, "America's first black president" is a lie in itself and just perpetuates this whole race scenario that the world is sick of hearing from North America?

Also, this is hopeful: "The executions are the first under a new system that combines citizens and professional judges to together decide on serious criminal cases."

A very excellent point. People here just have no consideration or manners.
Richard III > you're right, it's stupid to point the finger at women. The culture here is to behave well within their group, but few have regard for those outside their group, i.e. in public. This is regardless of gender.

OssanAmerica/Hotbox08> I too agree, blaming someone does not address the issue.

So do I, but it does not mean religion is a good thing. And, no, they are not "using Islam as a guise for their terror acts", they truly believe that their actions will take them to a better place.
Please understand that with any religion, it is but a small step for ordinary people to make in becoming an "extremist" capable of any number atrocities as we have repeatedly seen throughout history.

You make it sound like obese people have no choice or free will in what they eat or do. Come on now, it affects just as many middle and upper class people in the States!
And no, obesity is NOT a disease. It is a condition resulting from the average American's poor education, dietry habits and lack of exercise.

The question of this topic is ridiculous.
The answer is self-evident. There is not debate here folks.

It matters not what names you give these religions. The fact is they, by very definition, cannot coexist.
Religion is the problem.
Terrorism = religion

The false information (lies) spread in the media are sickening.
It's all about education and we the people know the truth. Decriminalization is a good first step - rather than outright legalization - because it can be controlled better. Sudden legalization is not only impossible but could lead to problems such as the market being flooded with poor quality/chemicalized weed. Just look at tobacco.

You've missed the point completely. Smoking in public is not acceptable to the masses. We (the majority) don't like it and you should respect that.
Only an ignorant smoker like yourself would post such a comment.
