talktotheclouds, yeah, it's amazing the number of crappy books out these days (facilitated by that industry unto itself, Amazon), and yet nobody ever says bad things about the entire book medium. indeed, anybody who did would be deemed anti-education. in fact there is a whole genre of "how to" books on making your crappy book a best seller on Amazon!!!
womanforwomen's opinion kind of exemplifies what the writer was saying. how are video games childish, and yet checkers, charades, monopoly and gin rummy are not?

the writer makes several good points. it is curious how the western bias against video games is not only restricted to violent games.

These good news stories seem to get the least comments. Geeze, I wonder why...

kwatt, umm, if that were the case, i'd be aa really frequent flyer on Japanese domestic flights. especially since the issue does not carry so much "weight" here. in fact, a rule like that might just save JAL.

Pepin, no it shouldn't. It should have a pressure release valve. It may, however, start a fire if you leave it on for an hour on a gas stove...

Still love my 10 yr old Bialetti, at less than 10% of the price of an OTTO.

This kind of attitude is really sad. Oh for the good old days of food rations, gulags and a bleak, grey, meaningless existence.
That was started in the 19th century, not by Stalin.
whose victory? who died?

That's an interesting conclusion. I could speculate about why she does it, and one reason is not polite enough for me to post(hint, it starts with "s" and ends with "t"). The other potential explanation is just too sad.

call the industry a "complete farce," then congratulate the guy for excelling in said "farce."
yeah, uh, that makes sense.

Nice, but not for everyone.
It's businessman culture, not shopping, lunch, meeting up, or weekend culture. Definitely limited in its potential.
