If you want real terror…try getting on the bad side of a family of Samoans/Tongans. They don’t want money. They just want to rip your face off.

Dude I think u got ur facts wrong..
As with most things here the western press glorifies the whole image of Mafia here and everywhere else.

Having been married to the daughter of an Osaka Boss and seeing first hand how they tend to be more like nickel and dime type of operations there is nothing to glorify here or least of all call them filthy rich. Most are in debt up to their eyeballs and the system is like a giant pyramid scheme. Every little bit of money earned gets pushed up to the top of the pyramid thus what is left is very little.

Sure some can be rich for a short time but over a lifespan they mostly have been broke and rich countless times…..

Insider Trading Yakuza Style”

I am going to sound rude and that is what usually gets me in trouble. But you people seem to not even realize much about japan. I mean the whole aids thing and how he thought the country was a sort iof duisneyland. you must have lived a very sheltered life. Or just that you can;t put a lot of stuff on the site that is offenseive or don;t want to.

but just as a picture is worth a thousand words so is walk on the street. maybe it ireally is true that ignorance is bliss, but you walk in and out of dangerous situation every second whether oyu realize it or not. this whole shooting thing is nothing. you can notice it all around you whether oyu look or not is up to you.

Needless to say i would like to comment i love the site.

but I suggest as the author points out how people expected this from 2005, there is more to it than just that. By reading what you write an what others write it says a lot about them. and i love the site.

but the whole yakuza thing is frightening to say the least.

-need to relax

ok off topic but a little background.

I get to know a girl who seems to be into me.After a lot of ups and downs, i kind of well insult here somehow through no culture knowledge of my own. I like Japan, and other aspects of other countries as well. i always consider myself wordly. LOL.

ok you probably want the good stuff. Well after insulting her indirectly i want to add. I start noticing odd htings happening to me and my money and my things. Dangerous things. I feared for my life.

thinking i was going crazy, i finally confronted her about somethings and we left on good terms. After she explained how people sometimes die, i kind of made two and two = 4. Well another girl told me about how this particular girls father is one of the richest guys in TOkyo an a Yakuza.

My stupidity got me into it and sheer will got me out of it, but had i been an asshole like most other guys my age, i might not be able to write this.
