A smile from the teeth out (if you can actually SEE the teeth) means mothing. Those of us who have spent a long time in this country know exactly what can be behind those Japanese "smiles." Tatemae is an abhorrent Japanese trait, hiding the "honne" which is vsary scary indeed, at times. However, I find most of the Station employees to be friendly and helpful, and a smile never hurt anyone. If it can help to brighten up the hell-like commuter travel situation in the Tokyo area, then that can only be good. The vast majority of people I encounter on the trains and in the stations of Tokyo are extremely rude and selfish, only looking out for "No. 1." The rest are in the depths of a self-induced coma.

No matter what these people did, the taking of human life is murder. These were acts of barbarism carried out in Japan. The only two "civilised" countries in the world where these kind of executions take place are the USA and Japan. So, Japan and the USA are in the same league as North Korea, Iran, and other despotic, undemocratic nations that use torture and this form of Capital Punishment. A nasty "club" indeed.

Now the REAL scourge of Obamaism is appearing, in its true colors. Tax, Tax and more Tax! Yippee - bring it on! Serves you right, you Americans who voted him (and them) into office!

We can all sleep safely in our beds now, after this pronouncement from Hillary Rotten Clinton. All is safe and well in Asia, because Obama`s America, with sidekick Clinton, is at the helm once again, to steer the Asian ship into safe waters. (sic) Watch out! World War III may be closer than you think! I wonder does she remember the time, (if she ever studies any history) the last time America was in Asia? The Democrats were in charge then, too, and made a complete horlicks of Vietnam! Are we to expect more of the same?

Sarah Palin is being maligned yet again by the liberal media of America,because they recognise in her a sincere woman and also a threat to the Democratic Party come the next elections. She is the kind of decent, all-American woman that used to be in vogue, until America lost its brains and its guts, and succumbed to Obamaism. I hope to live to see her as President in the White House one day in the not too distant future, after Obama has finished wrecking America and democracy around tha world.

This picture is actually very sad, and a sad reflection of real "life" in Japan. The lack of real, meaningful social interaction and communication in Japan is simply pathetic. Thats why these poor, sad, Japanese wpomen resort to this mindless and meaningless exercise. The Shinto Priest must be laughing all the way to the bank....

They shouldnbt block anything, and especially they should not read their employees` private email. That is, and should remain, illegal.

If I was American, my vote would be for Sarah Palin. Obama is going to ruin America. She will have her work cut out for her when she eventually takes over from him.

This story is another sad reflection of life in Japan - or rather, socail collapse in Japan. Its so sad that people are so socially dysfunctional that they have to resort to this nonsense in order to find a partner in life. Whatever happened to the old Omiae system? Cliffy God is not man. But He most definately is male.

All of them, but especially Michael Jackson, or "Wacko Jacko" as I remember him. The outpouring of crocodile tears over him was nauseating. I agree with Bill of Fpox News, wholeheartedly. They are all rich, with delusions of grandeur and popularity, obsessed with their own images and most of them are anything but nice people.

Have I missed something? I thought that the Great Leader and Savior of the world, President Barak Hussein Obama,(sic) said recently in the Middle East, that the USA wouldnt try to impose its will on any other country? Of course, he was addressing the Muslim world then, wasnt he? Obviously his comments do not apply to the sovereign state of Israel. Talk about contradictions! Isreal is right to ignore the USA in this respect, blatant interference in the internal affairs of another country.
The Capital City of Israel is Jerusalem, given to them by God. They can build in it and do whatever they like in it - its theirs! Omaba and his liberal, Muslim-loving government should be told in no uncertain terms to Butt out and put their own house in order before trying to interfere in another sovereign country.

Japan is in bad shape - spiritually, socially and economically. Sadly, I feel that things can only get worse here, due to the failed educational and social system.

Sarah Palin for President! I admire this lady so very much. I am not American, but if I was, she would definately get my vote. She is a breath of fresh air in the mire that is American politics. Better to have a "Hockey Mom" in the White House than a mealy-mouthed apologist going around the world running down his own country, and crawling on his hands and knees to the Muslim world.

We all know there are evil Japanese women out there out to make money out of innocent older men they accuse of groping them. I feel sorry for this guy, and I believe him to be innocent. This is another example of the lack of "justice" in Japan. Justice does not exist in this country. The J-police rely totally on forced confessions, brow-beating their victims into confessing to crimes they didnt commit, like this poor guy. What a scary country this is. Seems to me the yakuza, in cahoots with the polic, can get off with a heck of a lot more than the ordinary people in this "safe"(sic)land.

Small wonder there are so many perverted Japanese salarimen, with this going on. This story should be reported to the United Nations, and UNESCO. It is nothing short of child exploitation and paedophilia. It is the shame of Japan. I am surprised that no politicians have the guts to do something about this blatant perversion.
