    Most of the comments here present personal opinion rather than realism. I for one can associate a lot with some of what astroboy states. I dare say it takes one to know one and you have to have lived and experienced in order to understand the other side of a very western media. I have lived in both America and Arab countries. Seven years in Arab countries in fact. If a community of people get surpressed or persecuted it is very easy to dismiss their actions from afar as extremism. Look at even how Mexicans view Americans in that whole 500 square mile area. Lived in Mexico too... The more I experience the more I empathize instead of generalizing and profiling.

    I feel that the main cause of contravesy and debate is the wordng of the article. To "Die of Starvation" in a wealthy country is ridiculous and seems cruel and extraordinary, even evil. It makes me feel like the mother and the 14 year old are to blame. But did she eally die of starvation? Did the 14 year old deliberately not feed her? If so surely the mother will be charged with neglect and maybe even involuntary manslaughter, but the 14 year old with a crime too. Its probably misworded. Perhaps if we had more details like general poor health, malnuriousment, disease and filth, it would be easier to make sense of.

    Taken in March....wait 7 months...and searched in October. This is equally disturbing to me. They probably had no idea they would be searched by police 7 months later for a bath robe.

    Interesting at all the peeps who figure Japan is "finished" or will have no country "soon" in light of an article like this. Wonder what would happen if they read a book or went on an actual trip somewhere.

    A comment that "this could lead to war" is simply inciting mass hysteria and has little to do with what is really happening.

    Japan wouldn't be the same country without combini? A little insulting to the culture, who I guarantee you can survive the trend they created if it tanked.

    Awesome finish! The best in years, although I too wish Kakuryu had taken the title. May he roar back in the next tourney.

    With this author and all her articles I've read, I feel that SHE has finally crossed some major boundary in her life and is experiencing anew. But for most people this is just quoting the obvious.

    ...I'm glad I finally said something.

    Agree that it cold possibly have been premeditated.

    It is surprising that she had the strength to really hurt someone, but she did pick on an elderly frail person.

    And about the difficulties of cutting up someone, that could also depend on the knife. They have some seriously sharp blades here for within the $200 range that slices through meat and hide very easily.

    "Wanna have a look at Japanese history textbooks and tell me they are objective about WW2 history?"

    And what do YOU know about WWII history? You know what you know from the version of history that you have chosen to accept as fact.

    History is written by the victors and the losers become the villains. At least be aware of this before you declare things with absolute certainty.

    Do you think that the reason the government doesn't do much about it is because its actually a real issue? Democracy is a farce.
