What made me sad about all of this... the poor father died also trying to save his son...

And who are you to judge and say in your own judgement that I am not qualified to judge?

He's gonna love the boys in prison! He will get what he deserves in there.

I wonder is it another Japanese trait carried on from the samurai times? Such as in the way they act so timid today? Harikiri? Hmmm maybe they don't view suicide the same as ourself and when they feel they have failed such as the samurai they ended things? Just a guess...

Why doesn't the government look into this and take the required steps? We undertand competition and street factor into the decision but there shoud be counceling, psycs, support wheather it be job, housing... I don't know somthing can be done!

You don't need to have kids you just need something called a brain. I have had a younger cousin fall into a pool and if I was not in the water with her she would have drowned. So it shows you must always supervise young helpless children when they are around hazards.

Great! Just what we need another war and more senceless loss of human life. Hillary you definatley don't get my vote.

"On April 8, he also gave police the guy’s underwear, which he had kept, for DNA testing"

Haha yea right! I guess all people in Japan just keep underwear incase of DNA testing.

Btw Altria that was funny as hell! I visit this website 1 for the news and 2 for the humourous posts.

Yes you dont always watch children all the time eg. If they are in the back yard. But these children were at a river... what parent would let their kids who cannot swim play by a river? Would you let your children play in the bath tub with a hairdryer? No!

I think its funny how the Japanese follow other cultures when convenient and when they do they go all the way!

Haha free entry and discounted entry for Brits? Haha all you Englishmen go for it take advantage as much as you can!

But I know the Japanese love england in soccer. In 2002 after Japan was elimenated I remember so many Japanese going to england games and wearing Beckham jerseys.

"Having children = having the risk of losing them"

What the hell!?

Prevention! Its not a matter of parents being gods its a matter of them being responsible... Some parents are just plain negligent... I know a girl in Japan who said when she was 5 yo she went from door to door asking if she could play! Complete strangers! She did this everyday... eating and coloring books at their houses. What the hell were her parents doing and what the hell are other Japanese parents doing? Too busy worrying about work?

I met her in a night club once. She's very nice.
