Posted in: 45-year-old man arrested for arson after argument with mother over breakfast See in context

Yoshizaki was arrested on Monday. He was quoted by police as saying he got into an argument with his mother about the food they were eating for breakfast.

At least he was getting fed and someone else was cooking for this low life. Not everyone can eat breakfast; especially with the luxury of someone else making breakfast.

Take days to conclude that, isn't that obvious?

Not necessarily. If you read further down,

According to investigative sources, his body had multiple bruises.

So, it could have been other things, like foul play. This also seems like a case of bullying, too.

Yoshizaki lived in the house with his mother and younger brother, 42, who had left for work at the time of the fire.

Are they a little too old to still be living with their mommy? I sometimes don't get this culture.

Posted in: Some truths are self-evident: Joe Biden is too old, but who could possibly replace him? See in context

Here's my 5 yen worth in this.

Yes, it's true that Biden is getting up there in age. However, no one has ever questioned other leaders, such as the Pope on his age.

Trump (and there's plenty of evidence) has shown a lot of Dementia.

Biden has shown with positive results that he can still do the Job and continues to do it with heart and humility.

Trump hasn't done so much during his term, other than overturning Roe v. Wade and lowered taxes (mostly for his wealthy friends.

Trump is facing many charges and has been found guilty of crimes in different parts of the country.

So, despite Biden's age, he can still do the Job and I wish him luck.

Great for them as long as they assert and defend themselves. You have to push and go after what you want in life.

So when these "skilled workers" come to Japan, will they given the same benefits as regular japanese workers or be put into low level jobs despite their skills and training? That's a big gray area.

Great that it's finally starting in Japan, if only in Tokyo. I've seen it in the US for at least 4 years. The last time I saw it was in LA. People there just seemed to go about their own business and the robots were careful of traffic.

Nothing was mentioned about the mother/wife (ex-wife) in the story. RIP kids. They were the innocent ones in this. Were the children his, the wife's, someone else's children, etc. Any bystanders who knew of the diceased? Any leads leadidng up to this tragedy? What about the timing of the respondants?

That looks amazing, but I'll keep my Mac Book pro from 5 years ago. It's still working well and my wife and I have no complaints. Maybe we will look into that when our computer gives up.

Posted in: Japanese teacher beats up student for making fun of his body by calling him anime character name See in context

I had to send my child out of Japan during the pandemic due to the bullying he had endured for 5 years students throwing their shoes in the garbage and teachers yelling daily at my child. I fought with the teachers and the principal which included hauling the guy in front of the school board and they did absolutely nothing to him as they have zero power. After my child left the school, a Japanese child in the same grade started getting bullied and the mother complained with the same results, and she moved back to her mother's hometown. That year, I heard the principal was dismissed from that school and sent to another far from Tokyo which meant he got a demotion.

Great for you and glad to hear that the bully got a taste of his medicine. Karma!

I'm sure there's more to this story besides the stabbing and owing of money. I'm sure this has gone on for a very long time. In any case, I'm sure they will face some prison time and then get deported. @ Fighto! - Indeed, rest in peace to the departed.

Posted in: The 10 best things to do in Osaka See in context

In all my years in Osaka, I’ve yet to go to Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku. When I came here in the early 90s, I was often warned that the area was relatively dangerous. They’re both now on my list of places to visit when it gets warmer.

It's still a bit dodgy, but it's not really dangerous as some say it might be. I've been there at night. It's not that big of a deal. I've been through much more dangerous areas in my hometown that aren't really dangerous by the locals. Even the Nishinari area isn't that dangerous. There's no gang activity, no real theft, and hardly anything happens to foreigners there. Just the image, that's all. I'm sure the same can be said for some areas in Tokyo, too.

Posted in: 37-year-old woman arrested for beating, whipping young daughter See in context

Police quoted doctors as saying the girl’s injuries will take about one month to heal.

It doesn't end there. The more abuse is that girl's psychological injuries that may never heal. I'm sure many have had some kind of mental abuse that still lingers on. I sure do from my early elementary school years from my teachers who were nuns. Man, were they strict. Nowadays, what they did can be reported to authorities. I hope that girl gets the help she definitely needs. Bless her and off to prison goes that awful excuse for a parent.

Posted in: The 10 best things to do in Osaka See in context

I'm surprised USJ is not mentioned here. Good place there with City Walk. You can eat takoyaki in other places outside of Osaka, but the Osaka takoyaki is very good. You can also stroll between Namba and Shinsaibashi, along with Dotomburi and Amemura (in the Shinsaibashi area. If you're just feeling lazy, then just go around the Osaka Loop line around the city. I also wonder why the article didn't mention strolling through the underground shopping areas. There are lots of gems of shops and cafes there. It's perfect during rainy, very hot, and very cold weather. Another treat is going back in time through the Chin chin densha from Tennoji through to Sakai, where you can relax on mostly old train cars through the older parts of the city without the stress of crowds on subways. These trains charge only one price that's really affordable, no matter where you get on and off.

Posted in: Japan to boost child allowances to tackle falling birthrate See in context

Anyway thanks God i did manage to go through it, and i can tell you with my heart, your kids will grow up happily in Japan and you need not to spend much time worrying on them

Actually, being a father of 3, you will ALWAYS worry about your kids; even after they leave the nest. That will never stop. Growing up happily? Well, so-so. My kids are mixed, and they've had their shared of challenges. They haven't been really bullied much. However, they will always be regarded as mixed. They will one way or another stick out, whether it be by language, hair color, family values, etc. Yes, overall, they are happy in Japan, but there's always the stigma that they have to conform with everyone else and sometimes lose their identity and personality as a result.

Posted in: Japan to boost child allowances to tackle falling birthrate See in context

Late marriage and financial worries are often cited as reasons behind the decline in the number of children. Kishida's government sees the period leading up to the 2030s as "the last chance" to reverse the trend.

There you go. "Finance" is the key to this. Common sense that it takes money to raise a family, along with other things. Prices have gone up, but not so much salaries, which just causes people to remain single till later on in life, if they ever do get married. Having kids comes the responsibility, one of which is financial. Delivery costs, support costs, the mom staying home, while the husband brings the bacon, or "tofu" in this case, along with times for child and family dedication, which the husband won't have much of because of work.

Hey! Trump doesn't look so tough. It's about time he takes his medicine. That dude is full of lies and corruption that it's not even funny. I'm surprised he's still standing. Now, who in the world would want this grifter for the Office? There's some things you can't fix of his supporters.

on Thursday arrested a 21-year-old unemployed woman and her 31-year-old unemployed boyfriend on suspicion of fatally abusing the woman's five-year-old daughter, causing her to die from hypothermia.

Poor excuse for parents. Both unemployed. Poor parenting excuse.

It actually started in Glendale, California, near my hometown. Many years later, they were in competition with Thrifty's, where you could get 3 scoops of ice cream for just 75 cents. As a kid, and even now, I really enjoyed the ice cream wars during the summer.

Great for them. Everyone needs to treat themselves every once in a while. It doesn't need to be chocolates. Just something to pamper themselves. Me personally, I just prefer anything from my family; even an evening together over a movie or something.
