Great job, Yuki.....

Now who's gonna wash your stank clothes and prep your little soba every day?

And get a job.

In prison.

Like I always say, usually, the most dangerous place in Japan, is at HOME

Any chance of a day with no reports of intra-family killings?

Besically is now everyday news that somebody killed a Familly member or simmilar.

This is truly unbelievable what is going on in this country. How come people are so soulless and empathy less, especially over their Familly members.

The number of daily reports of patricides and Familly murders is unbelievable high for a so call developed country.
