It doesn't sound race-fueled but more like aggressive male-alcohol-fueled. Have you people never been to a night club (in any country) where guys (of any race) get all aggro over 'their woman'? And I'm not surprised that an ambulance/police weren't called either - so many people are unaware of the…

I hate it how JT posters always blame the parents/victims for these things. These kids could have been playing on the footpath outside their houses or walking down to the shop just on the corner for some lollies for all we know - I don't think it's that unreasonable/god awful…

Ha... I know it's stereotypical, but I can't help but imagine all the male posters up there who are boasting about how unattractive/overweight/inferior Western women are - could never actually score a date with an attractive/intelligent/successful woman back home.

First - I just don't get the whole "Japan has the highest cost of living" argument. Sometimes I just wonder if all the ex-pats have lived in Japan so long they haven't moved with inflation in their own countries and just recall the old 'glory days' of cheap living? In…
