Good luck to Made in Japan TVs at premium prices. LG and Samsung are moving at rocket pace and low price while Sony and friends are chugging along with their once upon a time brand names. Hard to find a Samsung TV anywhere and a few LG smart TVs (not 4k type) at Costco.

Road rage usually needs two people in rage to start a fight. Generally, it's best to double flash you hazards to say sorry or thnk you here. I ride a bike and a car and try to keep a cool head at all times. Getting POd gets you no where.

Aren't you guys using LI NE?

China will argue that Australia wants to control the Indian Ocean with submarines.

Hope they catch the killer and kick his butt right into the slammer for 99 years.

Japanese TV should take some of these news reports and turn them into scrips for crime programs.

Seeking asylum in NK?we know what kind of asylum he should be entered into.

Tailgating? How much is spent on going to driving schools to learn not to do that? A minivan has a front end like a sardine can. The only benefit from them is gas mileage. Poor souls who lost there lives. RIP.

Dialogue before blows are thrown is always the best way.it's hard to take back a punch once it's thrown.

Dennis is completely right and it should become a compulsory marriage law in Japan with an attachment to a marriage certificate indicating the couple took the classes.

Luckily he didn't go further than garbage bins and not to buildings. He needs help and a way out of being homeless.

Good hard investigation by the police will take one more piece of trash off the streets for good.

It will take a long long time to make up the cost of that very nice noodle making machine when you factor in all the ingredients to make udon, spaghetti, pene and whatever. Buying enough udon (dried), some "nama"and spaghetti and other pasta made in Italy for just 100 yen for 500 grams. and just dropping it into boiling water with a little salt as we all know, seems easier and cheaper time wise. Of course there is the making of the pasta sause or ramen soup that takes time. Then there are numerous packs of spaghetti and other tear open packs available here but that's another story.

I don't know but could there be more to this exchange we don't know about? Five of them for one of our guys who is a questionable soldier will take some time to answer.

As for the older population here, so many still use clam shell phones saying it's good enough. So how many will give up their good enough standard flat screen TVs for a 4k model? Younger folks may be limited on shelling out the cash. I guess it will take a long time to bring down prices. Beautiful,sharp displays with very few good shows to watch is a major hurdle to overcome. Will movies, etc. come into 4k TVs in super HD or just certain programs?

I'm so disgusted at reading about family murders almost every day here in this country in the JT. Is this kind of sensationism news coverage so important for everyone to read? It won't make your readers better people by informing us of these crimes. How about good news.

That's a lot of coins to count coins for the average person who would need it only after breaking open his piggy bank. Handy item for a small store that had several vending machines. Good for playing a coin counting game.

Just wonder if the guy was in uniform or in civvies. Might not matter but he could say he was checking on something suspicious.

I imagine the child crying, screening and kicking up a fuss the mother couldn't control so she took instant response without thinking. Her best bet could have been to put the child in a stroller and gone for a walk I the park if one was near. However, the mother's mentality is certainly in question here.

I totally agree with Joebiggs.

Wow! Living and dying in Pakistan as a woman for the sake of love is beyond civilized imagination. Thy are living in the Stone Age. (No pun intended).

Just don't allow anything to be carried into the meeting event. Sounds simple to me. Airport type rules.

His wife is now a widow.

Always tit for tat. China or Japan may not come to blows even if an accidental or purposeful incident between planes. Too much at stake for mostly China. A downed aircraft would just be more rhetoric and saber rattling.

Something is odd about some of these incidents. Could it be these characters are out of jobs and want three hots and a cot?

Eight more lives left.

I can't help thinking that the killing, document and iD caper was needed to get away from some other criminal activity they did. We should know about it when they get apprehended .

I concur with those who believe the child was probably a lap rider. I sure wish Japaese parents would learn.

Gee, I thought there was no protectionism in this free country.

Please people, cover up the garbage with the net so the cows won't spread it all over the neighborhood.
