Who cares what they say about their damned hypocritical list. If the criteria was objectively applied then the US would be on the top of the list.

Prostitutes?

Children maturing faster is absolutely true. It is due to the growth hormones in milk and food. This 11 year-old may not be the typical kid we would have found 30 years ago doing it with her teacher.

It seems that the 11 year-old victim was a prostitite of some sort? That is crazy talking. I think she seduced him OK, but it is very different than being a prostitute in this day and age I must insisting.

I thought the world had a negative impression of Japanese already due to the bad behavior of Japanese Salary-men on business travel.

Yes, more details please. And if possible please include some images so we can really understand the issues.

Why is everyone so perturbed by naked? Naked is wonderful.

It seems that this teacher enjoys sex with very young girls. So I think he should not be a teacher in a girls-school because teachers in girls-schools are surrounded by girls and in a position of influence. It is not an ideal situation for a pedophile. Would it be better if he was teaching in a boys-school? Obviously a co-ed school would still offer the similar temptations.

I think someone who really wants to go on a murderous rampage wouldn't post anything online too far in advance.

I'm not surprised, Australians are really fat. They probably lead the world with the most sun-damaged skin as well. Americans are outrageously fat too, but in general better looking.

It is very obvious that calling 110 cost her her life and that people who ignore those in trouble live longer.

The idea of Justice is that of a Moral Superiority, that's what gives the state the right to put people in the "armchair" and dispense justice. The judiciary should be removed from "real people", especially victims, to ensure a the impartiality, clarity and fairness of the system. Death as a punishment being "one moral high road of many" is correct, but one that I don't share. I believe human kind is wholly incapable of evolving, due in no small part to how we treat those we feel have done us wrong.

To WillB: My sympathy? I expressed no sympathy for Miyazaki. But if I did it surely would not create other types like this butcher. What a stupid thing to say. If revenge was an appropriate response then our world would be in very good shape.

Killing people for killing as way to show that our society doesn't tolerate killing is hypocritical at best. I know what he did was as horrible as it gets, but we are not morally superior for killing him. I'm not British, so I do not understand the need to have public executions either.

It was just a joke, not so funny but maybe dry humour or something or the sort. The lass is just writing, what happened to freedom of expression?

Smokers are rude and inconsiderate, and Tokyo is full of them. I can hardly go long without getting blasted by tabacco smoke.

Western ideals of sex and modern ideals of sex are not necessarily the best way. These ideals keep changing, so it might be best if we don't enforce hypocritcal western ideals on everyone else. You are not respected nor the moral authority of the world.

Rare to see a pimp give the girl more money than he gets.
