Posted in: Exhibition puts Japan's child prostitution in the limelight See in context
Ive met quite a few girls like this, and nearly every one of them said they just want the easy money. Some of them said when they started out, they really liked sex but because they started doing it all the time it became boring, and the only motivation left was the paycheck. MOST of these girls are CHOOSING this lifestyle because they are too lazy/stupid/uneducated (one or more of those) to go to school or learn a trade. Which fascinates me because a Japanese who can speak multiple languages has a huge amount of doors open compared to one which does not. All that takes is a) school b) date a foreigner c) study abroad and you can land a FAR longer list of Jobs in or out of Japan. another aspect which fascinates me is that most of these girls don't even require "Customers" to wear protection. Russian Roulette at its finest.

How do you emoji a single parent? I'm thinking its a picture of a taxi, and the animation is people going in one side, and going out the next very quickly, then as the passenger is leaving, it randomly pops a baby out the trunk or something.

You people clearly have no idea how the internet works. Heres a free short lesson: For an email to go from one computer to another, it has to pass through a lot of computers. In addition, many email servers have mirrors for availability/redundancy.
If you think every trace of an email is gone simply because you clicked "Delete" or turned the server off, you need to kindly step aside... you have no idea what you are talking about.

You have to be within a certain radius of where the pokemon would "spawn" to even see it on the map. There is no way in hell someone, unless there were already inside the premises, would even realize one was there.

Post partum generally lasts about up to 2 weeks after birth, according to the Mayo Clinic. If she experienced the RARE case where it lasted past that, then heres an Idea: Tell your husband, and your parents, and your siblings if you have any. Those people will surely help you through it, and maybe even watch baby for a few hours so you can have your peace and quiet. Even better idea: Suck it up. Everyone goes through some sort of depression in their life. Depression isn't a justification for murder. By siting that in a murder case, you are simply giving out another variation of the old "P**** pass"

How exactly would they be able to confirm no mail was lost? Since he was there to pick up the mail, there could have been some left inside the box and taken while he was away.
Security in Japan is LAUGHABLE. I'm sure a deep bow with "Moshiwake gozaimasen deshita" or "i was drunk and don't remember doing that" will patch things up though.

@Jack and the Beanstalk: The decision by said pregnant woman should have been made prior to said pregnancy. Do I want to get pregnant? No? Okay then there are: /deep breath: Pills, condoms, shots, day after pills, proper abortions, and spermicidal lubricant to name only a few.
It would be great if people would start thinking ahead more than 10 seconds. And if they make mistakes, then take responsibility and act appropriately instead of both literally and proverbially, dumping their problems on others.

I think some of this is a bit extreme, but death penalty for drug possession is no different from Singapore, and I think is good. Even if you can argue some drugs are fine if used responsibly by adults, I would point out that same drug may end up in my kids hands if its legal. No thanks. Kill em.

Protip: If you starting to feel drunk, you've probably drank enough already. Stop drinking so you don't get so drunk that you fall asleep and have no clue whats going on. Absolutely no sympathy for people who make choices which get them into trouble.
1) What do you mean I have cancer after smoking for 30 years and cant afford treatment. Government handouts anywhere?
2) I left my door unlocked and a burglar came in and stole my valuables. IM A VICTIM!
3) I drank 4 bottles of jack and woke up in some weird apartment. DONT BLAME ME!
Wake up to reality folks. If you leave yourself vulnerable, it is the same as inviting trouble.

I still fail to see the problem with this. If the company does not hire women and that is the correct thing to do, it will fail. There is absolutely nothing stopping any woman from starting their own animation company, JUST LIKE THESE GUYS DID, and succeeding. The question is: How bad do you want it? If you want it bad enough, you will go out and do it.

I'm wondering what came of the female here... it always seems like when three is a problem involving a love spat and the man is punished, no word of the woman. If the woman is punished we get this "IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO," "SHE WAS LONELY," or some other nonsense. Since the man involved in the infidelity lost his member, maybe a good clean uppercut from her ex-boxer husband would set her straight. He should, at the very least, divorce her with no compensation to her.

Simply amazing that "I was drunk" absolves you of all responsibility.
If you say "I was drunk" you should be auto-convicted. If you were irresponsible enough to get so drunk that you cant remember what you did, then you should be held responsible for whatever it is you did.

to do “everything that we can to prevent any crimes from taking place of this sort and that involves reviewing procedures and making sure that everything that can be done to prevent such occurrences from happening again are put into place.”
Know what would accomplish that? Death penalty for anyone convicted of a felony crime overseas.
Somehow I think the threat of death would deter the majority, and the ones it doesn't probably aren't worth having around anyway.

@SimondB Well, if he really wanted the wall to be paid for by mexico, they would be foolish not to do it.
If you are making, lets say for example, 100 million dollars in revenue per year from the US as mexico, and the wall costed 250 million, and the options are:
1) build the wall and maintain that level of revenue (or more) and recoup the loss in under 3 years vs
2) Refuse to build the wall and drop that revenue to 30 million a year after all the tariffs and taxes you have to pay for refusing
Any first year math student would understand why Trump (as long as the people back him) can say this.

I never understood the infatuation with celebs. Becky can fall out of a plane or rise to Hollywood superstar, shes still just a normal person with feelings who makes stupid decisions.
On a related note, I wonder if Japan actually put some bite into its punishments, would it actually change the peoples behavior? Suspended sentences, 3 months "Being banned" from media, slaps on the wrists for killing children.
Its kind of like a dog that wont shut up but as soon as you get near it, it tucks its tail and runs into a corner, whimpering.

Posted in: Anime talent agency rejects voice actress applicants who have appeared in porn See in context
@Tim_Fox: Explain that. how does "being involved with illegal activites >OR< who have done adult work" imply one is the same as the other.
One protects the company from being associated with criminals, which I think all companies would like. The other is to prevent the possibility of the legions of akibake from dumping one of their products because their favorite character isn't what they thought she was.
Like it or not, this AKB "we don't know what a penis looks like" image sells millions. Its childish and stupid, but that's the beauty of a free market. If people are willing to pay for it, someone will supply it. These customers want the AKB type voices, so the company will either supply it and make money, or give them something else and risk losing it all.

Trump may not be the ideal candidate to do it, but he is right about a lot of things. America needs to turn inward and fix its own problems instead of trying to fix everyone else's
Why donate 1 billion to country X to help starving people when that same 1 billion can be used to help starving americans? Homeless (Specifically ones who are through no fault of their own, IE drug usage caused them to lose their job) americans are plentiful and the ones that are capable of leading a normal life could use that money to clean up, buy a suit, go to a job interview, and live in subsidized housing until they are back on their feet.

Well Nintendo, I can give you precise moments in history that you doomed yourself: Alienate your user-base by deciding to go Family friendly instead of wanting to win. Mortal Kombat with no blood/fatalities, Letting Final Fantasy go to PS because you refused to evolve past cartridges, and losing loads of what used to be Nintendo only titles because you refused to get with the times.
Mario and Link can hold their own, but they couldnt carry you from the 8-bit era to where you are now by themselves. Square, Enix, Capcom, and Konami made you, and you pretty much flipped them all off at some point.
THIS is why you are having financial problems.
I used to be a Nintendo fanboy but I will be laughing when you sink into the abyss.
