the Japanese are over working themselves there. In my opinion, they need to cutback on hours of work and days of schooling too. Don\'t they have other ways to commute to work? It would have been better if the remaining people wait for the next subway when the first sub gets full. Eh. I applaud the Japanese for being very diligent, but I find that a balance of work and time for themselves is a lot better so they don\'t have to be so exhausted and unhappy.

Asian people just have a different concept of personal space. If people weren\'t willing to do that, then it wouldn\'t happen, and the transit system would take some action to increase train frequency or capacity.
I was thinking that I couldn\'t stand to do that even once... but then I thought if I could press up against an asian woman, maybe it wouldn\'t be so bad. :)

I\'m going to be stereotyping here but oh well....
Cored....as an Asian who has lived in Asia for years and visited Asia several times since, the ratio of hot Asians to Ugly Asians is quite sad. However, hot Asian women tend to NOT to be brats and not spoiled.
The ratio of hot American women fares better vs ugly American Women. But a lot of them are spoiled and a high percentage of the hotties are dumb, unfortunately.

Those videos are excruciating, even months or years later.
Yes, I agree with you for the most part.
Just my theories: Pretty american girls get used to being told they are beautiful over and over for their entire lives, so they don\'t need to know anything or do anything to get what they want. Thus they don\'t bother to learn or improve.
Pretty asian girls are not given as much special treatment in their home countries. Women are treated more as 2nd class citizens over there, and don\'t develop as many expectations and demands. The down side is that too many become absurdly meek and submissive. I don\'t really care for that.
Exception: Korean girls seem to be gold digging bitches almost everywhere in the world! :p Well at least they are in LA. :(

Yang, 22, from Beijing, China, was killed at the Au Bon Pain restaurant in the Graduate Life Center at around 7 p.m., school spokesman Larry Hincker said in a written statement.
Campus police took Haiyang Zhu, 25, into custody at the scene. The Ningbo, China, native has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail at a local jail, Hincker said.

More than you ever will. I even dated a Korean chick who made it clear to me she did not like my race.....but liked me for some odd reason.
I hope you\'re right about them, because I\'ve got yellow fever to the highest degree. So far, they\'ve all been brats or just brainless.

Compare it to mass transit in India and I\'ll take Japan any day...
As for the Asians, I believe they\'re the most racist people in the world...
People say white people are racist, black people are racist, cause they hate each other but Asians are way more racist...
Cause they hate other Asians, too...
Chinese and Koreans hate Japanese... Chinese treat Philipinos and Vietnamese as cheap labor... Chinese use the same stereotypes(curry, body odor, funny accent) for Indians in their movies... Japanese hate everyone else...
Hell, Chinese people even use the term "white/black devil" in everyday conversation when referring to them...

It\'s true...
I had an Asian girlfriend for many years and saw firsthand the hate between the different Asian races.
It was really amazing how much they hate each other.

I thought this was common knowledge. The employment rate for "pushers" in Asia and Japan has been good for years now.
Personally, I could not deal with a daily commute like that.

Toshikatsu Matsuoka, 62, hanged himself in his apartment Monday just before he was to face questioning in parliament over a series of scandals that have rocked the government since he took office last September.
With that act, Matsuoka became one of the more than 30,000 Japanese who kill themselves every year — the second-highest suicide rate in the industrialized world. Japan\'s suicide rate per 100,000 people stood at 25.5 in 2003, compared with Russia\'s 38.7, according to World Health Organization figures.
"We are facing a kind of crisis," said Takanori Suzuki, a Cabinet Office official in charge of suicide prevention. "Our previous measures were not effective ... and we will have to move quickly."
More than 32,500 Japanese took their own lives in 2005, up 0.7% from the year before, according to the National Police Agency\'s latest statistics..

...Nishihara said those who commit suicide are often hardworking, serious people. Because they are diligent, their workload gets ever more demanding until they break down with health problems or depression.
"But the company is not always supportive, making people feel abandoned and like they\'re a worthless person," she said. "That\'s when people often think of death."
Wow. I guess the Japanese needs to be more compassionate and empathetic to other who are in despair and distress. They need to change the job and school system. some things I can see that really need change are cut back on hours of work, hours of schooling, and cut down on number of days of work and schooling too, and implement more days off that are distributed evenly throughout the year. Don\'t put too much pressure on the workers and kids either. Moderation is the key to living a happy, healthy life.
I think people rather have more free time playing outdoor than spending most of the time indoor working or studying, or even playing indoor for that matter.
This has been the case for humans since the cavemen era where people spend a lot of time outdoor getting plenty of fresh air, sun, and physical exercises by just walking, picking berries, and hunting.
Even staying indoor of the caves have fresher air than inside a house because of those quarry rocks or something. Like a garage where it\'s mostly cold but has a lot outdoor air entering the garage.

What you really mean is...
Imagine traveling on a train from Town A to Town B. And say you know the exact (straight-line) distance between Town A and Town B, and that the train travels at a constant speed. Then you should be able to calculate how long it takes the train to get from A to B. But if it has to curve around a mountain, then it will take longer to reach Town B. So observers in Town B will think the train went slower than it really did. However, the mountain did not slow the train down, it simply made the path longer.
