I can think of a lot worse things being sold for a lot less money.

Pfft. Easy target for this weeks non-attentive driver

Can we be sure he's doing push-ups? Perhaps he lost a contact or is studying an ant colony.

Ba Chan!!! Look out behind you!!!

Probably has volumes on his bookshelf.

Meanwhile, the numbers show that Japan is, in reality, a safe place for kids: there were 754 reported cases of sexual abuse in 2000, compared to 89,500 in the United States. This could, however, be due to underreporting, or the fact that the official age of consent can be 13 in some places.

This is the paragraph that made me laugh. Only a fool would invest in the accuracy of a survey on this type content.

Yeah! Full cavity search!

@disillusioned.

I also use these types of articles in a beneficial way. Every time my wife gets one of those pangs to move back to Japan, I present her with one of these stories while she is changing our infant and her urges to reinstall are instantly quelled.

Surprise, disgust, and sadness?! I think KOBIAN is ready to start posting on JT.

@dr jones

WILL look grim? You're a very optimistic lad aren't you?

Are Japanese 1 year olds able to walk around and hang out in drive ways???? Most 1 year olds I know have only begun to stand up while hanging on to something. 1 is a small number but something doesn't add up.

Kawaii ne!?

Maybe I'm wrong, but she somewhat looks like she's trying to smile through the embarrassment of her situation.

@jeffrey

Ah yes. The conundrum of mismatch drapes and carpet.

That is hilarious!

@seliny19

I've read several of your posts on this thread and others. This is just some friendly advice; If I were your age, I wouldn't be wasting my time here arguing with us "old" folks in our 40's. Peace!

@medievaltimes

Ridiculous that it still has to be explained to some isn't it?

@pathat

Thanks for doing your duty and saving many lives on the Allied forces side and the Japanese side

ditto

When my siblings and I were 6, 4, and 3, my father had us observe our family dog fetch a stick from a local lake. He then had us lay across a picnic bench and emulate the "dog paddling" technique that we had seen our dog do. He worked closely with us in the water several times at the lake and at our neighborhood swimming pool. I remember as a child it was fun learning how to swim like a dog. It boosted our confidence greatly and took our minds off our fears of being in water. I agree with Cleo and Naka that some situations are unfortunately no win, but what I think it comes down to is how much a parent is willing to prepare their child for life.

@Disillusioned

So, a one year old kid was standing on a train platform 'a few meters away' from her mother? SOP!

My thoughts exactly

@kirakira25

Anyone who has ever had a 1 year old who is starting to walk will know it is virtually impossible to keep them tethered to you every second.

As I amiably suggested on the other thread, it only takes a second for something to happen. Become better with your tethering techniques.

@kirakira25

They think I am paranoid. I think theya re reckless. We are never going to see eye to eye on this one.

I have an almost identical situation and I'll never give in. It only takes one second for something to happen that could effect the entire family forever. Let them suppose you are paranoid. Its much better than you having to verify their recklessness through a tragic accident.

@bdaniel08

never saw a beautiful and pregnant naked woman, young beavis ?

Yeah, my wife twice. And don't get me wrong, Hitomi is beautiful, even here. I guess I tend to suppress and reserve that admiration for the father to be though.

BTW; Thanks for your assumption of my age. Was just as good as getting carded while buying a beer! ;)

Well, now there's a link I shouldn't have clicked

Young drivers need to be made more aware of the dangers involved in driving. I wonder if those old guidance class films like "Blood on the highway" are shown to kids in school these days. Young drivers get plenty of exposure to the thrills of driving through video games, feature films and the like, but how often are they exposed to the consequences of negligent driving? The elusive images of Nikki Catsouras (the Porsche girl) would perhaps be a start.

Bush says he misses soldiers

Yeah? Well there's a lot of us who miss the soldiers.

RIP

Vampires suck.

Typically ignorant way of passively dealing with an issue instead of confronting the problem.

Damage done by youngsters

Shouldn't this read; "Damage done by the criminals/vandals"?

God, these storys are awesome over a bowl of Cheerios first thing in the morning!

It reminds me of that game where you can slide the features like ears, eyes, noses, etc., onto the faces next to or below each other. I wanna see "red nose" #1 wearing "spy girl" #2's glasses.

This article should be in Japanese, not English. The bombs are the fault of the Japanese, who could have surrendered earlier.

Albeit retrospective, this is the plain, simple truth.

You propose a list of hypothetical situations but then negate your own

statement by saying we shouldn't jump to conclusions. What is extremely rare? JT posters jumping to conclusions or reading about discarded infants?
