Hahahahaha.....Koichi Kaizawa needs to study more world history.
Any nation, who has won a war, or occupied other country has done this. Japan wouldn't be unique.
This is the same reason why English is the most common international language, because the British empire stretched worldwide...and they spread their language.
Wake up Kaizawa San.
Posted in: That's why I think it's a good thing that Japan lost World War II. If Japan had won, so many others would have lost their language and culture.

1: Graffiti: Do it on your own wall, car, owned land. If you are a loser and do not own any of those, keep your art in you mind or limit to paper.
2: Vandalism: Vandalism is the behaviour attributed to the Vandals in respect of culture: ruthless destruction or spoiling of anything beautiful or venerable. Such action includes criminal damage, defacement, graffiti and crass erection of an eyesore. This is definition from Wikipedia.
3: English: Lots of Japanese wannabe graffiti artists are trying English words, so it can be anyone, Japanese/non-japanese. However, the total graffiti culture is completely non-japanese.
4: Train Company: I totally agree with their decision of canceling the scheduled run. Shinkansen's are Japan's pride. It represents the professionalism and preciseness of Japanese people. Probably graffiti is accepted in other countries, as their train companies have not much of standards to follow, but in Japan, they do follow standards. This idiocy of a low quality artist will cause a lot of money to the train company to repaint/clean. I hope the artist gets arrested and has to pay the fine.
Yeah, lots of foreigners think the same about other countries as well. It just shows lack of understanding and knowledge of other culture and custom.

VOR, I guess you have pointed out few things your self. Yes, there are "pollutants" being created for my "living" but their nasty filthy "habit" is making me smoke their poisonous smoke involuntarily when they are smoking on my office compound, footpath, outside convenience store and everywhere else. I hope you do understand the difference of living and having a nasty filthy habit?
And this is something making me wonder, what other nasty filthy habit you may have that is contributing to my health problem?
Posted in: To say that smokers should pay more tax because they risk their health and cost more on public health expenditures is the exact same logic behind the controversial new health insurance scheme for the elderly.

Well, my overeating doesn't cause health risk to you. But your cigarette smoke is giving me lungs cancer through passive smoking since most of you smokers can not keep your smoke to yourself!
Lets not make the smokers pay more taxes, lets ask the cigarette companies take care of all the waste (smoke) their product is creating. Currently they are among the few industries which doesn't have to take care of the waste that their product makes. Let them create smoke disposer, a device that the smokers will exhale to and all the smoke which usually goes to other peoples lungs, will be trapped. The cigarette companies can collect all the nicotine filled devices and recycle. I bet that will increase the cigarette pack price!

What is the charge? May be she did not pay income tax? Because other than that, I can not see any other legal problem.
JT....some more details please.

Dude....how hard was that sex that left her bleeding? There is a limit of everything...even sex. You can not pick up a prostitute and start beating her up because she agreed to have sex. Yes, she may be a prostitute, but they do have limit of service too. When you go beyond that...that is rape.

I have a question to all of you here. Even if a woman agrees to have sex, does it allow the payer to be violent and leave the woman bleeding? Say you get a prostitute in USA...is it OK if you overpower and abuse her during sex? Doesn't it classify as rape?

This is not really that amazing, since the body of the robot is made of Styrofoam and it is very flimsy. Yes it can fly, with the 2 propeller, but the toy helicopters are far more interesting than this, as they are wireless. This is not.
