    If this wasn't real life, it'd be hilarious.

    Most definitely, they need to pay the restaurant back for what they ate.

    Thumbs up to Sato's quick wits, smart thinking and calmness in a crisis which saved the woman's life!

    True, these cameras are just to make people feel safe, and possibly to record criminals' movements after a crime's taken place.

    I can't see how 10 million yen worth of video cameras will prevent the rare occurrence of violent crime like the tragedy which occurred a year and a half ago.

    Though, it's obvious that the middle-man who brokered the video camera contract and the video camera company, profited from this deal.

    Hm, she is named because she stabbed her ex-lover, but he is unnamed.

    IMHO she couldn't find a good job, but found a lover who couldn't commit instead, a man who prefers to remain anonymous because it would ruin his name.

    This is no romance; this is a social tragedy.

    Air marshals incognito onboard, yes. Armed guards visible, no.

    That'd only reassure the passengers wanting a visible presence.

    I'd be more reassured that air marshals are on board a flight incognito.

    Also I'd be even more reassured when vital information from concerned relatives of potential terrorists are listened to early enough to prevent future hijacking attempts from occurring.

    Why would any non-teenager care about manga?

    Because DC and Marvel have lost their magic.

    Bowing is a sign of respect since it is a form of politeness to bow.

    It demonstrates only two things about the president: he is respectful of other leaders, and he knows protocol.

    By reading more into that bow, the naysayers just make themselves look bad, for politicizing the situation.

    IMHO Obama has now earned my respect.

    Here are the facts so far:

    The shooter was dressed in army gear like an officer.

    He used two handguns any civilian can get easily in Texas, legally.

    IMHO I still insist alienation & fear motivated Hasan more so than Islam did.

    His behavior as caught on a security camera at a convenience store also matches the profile of a shooter.

    alienation and fear are two motivating factors in this case.

    he had to listen to a lot of war vet stories as part of his job as army psychiatrist, and appeared to dread being deployed.

    also, there have been incidents of confrontation and harassment of Hasan due to differing opinions about Afghanistan and Iraq between himself and soldiers in training, which led to alienation.

    as a result he tried to obtain an honorable military discharge before deployment.

    however, IMHO I do feel he was not justified in shooting his fellow soldiers at all.

    my sympathies go to all the family members involved in this tragedy.

    for people sensitive to Allylisopropyl acetylurea, there is a slight risk of symptomatic purpura (fixed eruption) for Bufferin Plus S when used regularly for pain over a year or more.

    When totally abandoned by their elders, a shame-based youth culture will either become self-centred out of "rebellion" or worse, hide away from the world.

    For there is a lack of self-discipline which cannot be inculcated in middle school by abandoning the child at some yacht school.

    Parents, if you truly love your children in Japan, then it's time to emotionally support them even if it means you rent a small apaato and drive a Kei car.

    Overall, urban life must be really harsh that parents both work, yet have no time to unconditionally accept their children.

    Better a Robin Hood than a politician acting like a common hood robbing everyone blind!

    Anyone know anyone like that today?

    Perhaps gangster start out like that, but get greedy & go to gaol!

    IMHO I also believe that gossip rags should be licensed, and their papers to have disclaimers which state clearly, "This is a rumor which we are gossipping about".

    Gossip-mongers should be taxed harshly

    Only truth should remain free, and unpublished.

    i still feel they should give monthly relationship counselling to couples, regardless of whether they can be fine without.

    there is still need for an objective third party, who is regulated by government to be impartial and not take sides.

    IMHO in addition to social workers, Buddhist priests could perform this function and get a supplement from the government.

    yukiko and her mother... when will japanese women get the guts to seek positive friends who can handle depression gracefully?

    this murder-suicide is in essence manufactured by japanese society.

    tho technologically advanced, japan needs to bring its emotional life into the modern era.

    there is no shame in seeking counselling. caring for the elderly SHOULD be a community effort.

    and it is as easy as just listening to your elders.

    for youth is fleeting, and old age natural.
