They just should agree on what is acceptable to put on a pizza, corn and mayo=no!
Also get the recipe for real carbonara...

I think that they could spend this time on some productive things than racing through the gates of shrines to get a barrel of sake.

It does not take much to be considered a criminal in Japan... Good skills though! I used to roller skate in the subway of Paris (the coating on the floor was super smooth), thrilling experience, bit dangerous I agree but i never made the news... nor those guy should.

Police said the woman had with her a physical disability card indicating she was visually impaired.
Is it to let us know she was not lying about being blind, and did not fake her fall to her death?

Anyway, bowing should become normal in all rugby games around the world.
Why? That's clearly a Japanese thing. In Europe they clap. Would be weird for the 6 nations teams to bow at the end of each game.

Posted in: Taliban suicide bombers kill 48 in Afghanistan See in context
Their motives are clearly political. They wish to control their own country. They see their U.S. backed countrymen as puppets and traitors. Perversion of religion is used for recruitment, but that is NOT the primary motivation for the Afghan Civil War.
I completely agree, I was mostly pointing out that praying won't help much...

Posted in: Two 17-year-old girls arrested for dumping newborn baby’s body near river in June See in context
Fact? I don’t think that word means what you think it does.
A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence.
Seems to be a fact that she killed the baby by dumping him on the river bank and admitting to the crime...

She still killed a infant tho.
That's a fact not a judgment.
Wealthy or happy what I meant is that we know nothing of her and you decided she had a bad life based on the fact she has sex for money. That's pretty judgmental

It's good that Japan is showing more lenient sentences fro drug use, a step in the right direction. Now let's make sure that it applies to gaijins too!

This story proves you wrong. Not sure if you have kids but in my case it's not fine. Anyway just my opinion, not raging.

Forgive me for doubting you, but people regularly claim what they've read elsewhere, and then it turns out they've misinterpreted what they read. It's not that I doubt you specifically, just that people are so often wrong on this site, without supporting links, it's pretty safe to assume that the claims are not correct.
No worries!

there's nothing here that can logically be used to determine they weren't holding his hand.
The fact that only the kid got hit maybe?
