Posted in: Man arrested over theft of woman’s underwear from coin laundry See in context

As a community service I often buy women's underwear and leave them at laundries and on clotheslines. Of course I wear them first. What they don't know won't hurt them...

I think the much bigger problem is the shear number of women is this country who take the easy road and use their body for financial gain. Have you seen the size of the mizushoubai industry in this country? Don't trust a pretty face is my warning.

Naomi-chan was right to call this out. This happens far too often and we need to get on top of it.

One day I was writing on the blackboard and one of my students said I was writing too faint and said "you suck!"

I said you can't be serious, man. You cannot be serious. Chalk flew up!

@strangerland

Technically you are right but that tiny amount of alcohol concentration which you can easily reach with 1 beer can give you jail time. I think zero gives the more accurate picture

I'm sure this will not be a popular view but in my opinion people who use social media to make allegations against people, often years after the alleged offence ARE guilty of a crime. They ruin reputations without having to go through the scrutiny of a court.
