This is like saying is Mr. Mrs, Miss or Ms needed, or are they just stupid... (well, maybe Ms isn't needed) It's not very constructive to judge another culture without understanding it first...

OK again with the short discriptions. We need high quality posts more then one sentence and also a better picture of what you are wanting. As for the
-san, -sama, and -sensi I was told that those are added out of respect. They are not stupid and to tell you the truth what is the point of this thread?

They're just a way of making people know their place. And with honorifics like "san" and "chan" you can differentiate who's familiar with who, and, in some cases, who commands more respect. Although, really, calling someone Aizawa-san (for example) doesn't necessarily mean you're choosing to be courteous with him/her.
