@zones2surf It is either that or some burn out worker who was stressed and will say some lame excuse to the police when caught.,

called police to report that a female student who is in the third grade did not come to school. When police went to the apartment of the student, they found the body of the boy
Found the body of a boy that lives there you mean? So they called for her and found him. This is a really sad and fkd up story.

Posted in: Five types of foreigner you’ll meet in Japan See in context
I am seriously stumped. Why do people think you must greet another foreigner if passing by? Perhaps you may not come by many foreigners in your daily life but I am sorry this isnt some sacred secret little country where we acknowledge each other based on thinking the other is a foreigner. You may think the other is a foreigner but is actually not one. Also, did you greet everyone in your home country as you passed by? If some one extends a gesture or says something sure, can reply back and a possible convo. I feel like people who make this statement expect some sort of high five and then have a talk about the wonders and magic of Japan and how special, etc. they are!

@Gokai
The US persons at my firm complain about US income taxes (which US people are legally bound to pay on foriegn income when they live overseas) and now FATCA
You do not pay taxes to the US if you are under a certain amount yearly while living overseas. You may have to fill out a FACTA form but if you are under this yearly amount then no...you or they are not paying taxes back to the US.

" I can understand why someone at that age might want to kill their spouse and just finish life with only the happy memories." - M3M3M3 Wtf kind of sick reasoning is that? Nothing romantic about that at all. Be sure to tell your wife this so she knows now how you feel.

Toriyama should not be continuing this at all. The man has forgotten most of what he has wrote which has been evident in interviews and mistakes he had to correct in the new movies. Simply trying to rewrite a big portion of what many fans loved. Now we get to enjoy blue hair and the characters with little muscle and weaker than ever!

Chinese students...are they international students or live in Korea permanently? Pretty sure with most visas you are not allowed to engage in political behavior. I know it was a stipend on the teaching visa I had when I worked in Korea.
