Deservedly harsh, but extremely well put. I would only concur with you and koizumi.

Where I come from, if you commit a serious offense while drunk the severity of the offense is increased, however, in Japan the severity of an offense is lessened and even justified by being drunk.

Fascinating, isn't it?

...one resident of the apartment block telling police that she thought the child had been put outside crying in the middle of the night. Another resident said she was woken up by some thumping sounds which she thought sounded like someone jumping.

Hey, thanks neighbor! No reason to suspect anything. Roll over and go back to sleep.

Why can't I ever witness any of this blatant, public abuse?

Because the incompetent rejects don't do it when others are watching. -But I agree. I'd also love the chance to intervene.

Great plot for a new genre of horror film.

VOR. Thank you for that correction. Watched the whole thing from my office as well.

Yuri. You are absolutely spot on. Thats why we moved back here and won't leave anytime soon. By the way, good luck in Japan

the water was not clear.

As per SOP, neither are the details of this story

Todays JT is Great!!! A heartwarming story about a 17 day old receiving a kidney transplant, and another comical statement from the leader himself. I love waking up to this type of news.

-I never thought I would see a world leader any less intelligent or any more clueless than GWB. But Aso is giving it a good try.

-Japanese people work LONG not HARD. That is a big difference.

tkoind2 and F21F have nailed it. Having a comedian as your country's representative is humorous for about an hour, (the average length of a comedy show), but then it becomes nothing more than an embarrassment. Michael Moore has done a fine job of compiling and presenting to us, the idiotic "gaffes" of GWB. Would a Japanese production company ever edit together a run of Aso's enlightening quips for entertainment purposes? I'd buy the DVD.

A woman in her 30s was found dead , police said.

A man, who checked in together with her, is missing, police said.

The victim and the man checked into the hotel around 2:40 a.m. the same day, police said.

Yeah Jcops! Keep going, you're almost there!

Bitter Romantic Moment? Do I buy one for my new girlfriend or my ex-wife?

The only thing shrouded in mystery is the competency of the J-authorities.

Flag is right. This is nothing new. However, "a balmy flavor and bitter taste"? Is that really the best way to describe it? Kind of sounds like what I would expect to taste after licking someones armpit.

For some reason this pic/article really got me thinking. Perhaps its just the reflective sentiment that abounds on the brink of a new year. I know Japanese are some of the proudest people on the planet, warranted or not. It must have been very difficult for some of these people to "sign up", swallow their pride, and openly ask for help. I'm sure that 100 is only a fraction of the percent that needs assistance as well. Kudos to whoever setup/sponsored this event.

bamboohat; That is too funny!

It grieves my heart that many people have been left in difficult conditions

This from someone who lives in a "palace"

Yeah Gwen! Milk em for all you can.

...then and now.

Nato summed it up

Hope there is a syringe waiting for her in the near future.

Please don't write things like that. It may give them ideas.

I love all his films, but all one need do to realize the political element of his films is turn on the English subtitle.

My wife makes okonomiyaki at least once a month. What is green laver?

Zatoichi rules!!!

Chestnutroastin Absolutely perfect!!!

Bento Only thing I would agree with is your last sentence, but with one modification; life with hard labour that eventually kills them.

To any responsible parent, most of these suggestions should be common sense.

Not to undermine the horrid lack of humanity displayed by the onlookers, but how often does this happy in merry old? I don't regularly follow UK news but this story popped out on several news agencies.

I guess cool is defined very differently in Japan. The three Oji's in the middle look as far from cool as I could imagine.

Yeah, love hurts.

They should blame each other. Really throw the cops for a loop.

According to police, there have been several reports about suspicious individuals in the area so far. A naked man was spotted at a nearby park in April, while another man chased female staff leaving a dental clinic.

Gee. These two are only qualified as suspicious?

That is a hilarious perspective. Not to mention that the other 55 could leak in the event of a severe enough earthquake. Would the boat be in any danger from a natural disaster?
