Voting for someone who has stabbed you in the back is completely illogical.

Tell me about it, yet voters do it time and time again.

It is hoping to mend the irreparable damage done with Arab American voters in swing states and save Biden bacon. Now they are attempting to put a band-aid on a pile of nasty war crimes.

These voters need to remember that and go with other candidates. He betrayed you; abandon him.

Like what other candidates? Isn't the GOP even more pro Israeli? I seem to remember the last republican president actually recognised Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, which must be really popular with Arab Americans....

Well he left France quickly enough when she went missing and stayed with a cousin in Barcelona for 5 days before returning to Chile. His cousins testimony said he concealed his meeting with Kurosaki, asked his cousin (a medical student) about death by suffocation and spoke of her in the past tense.

What prosecutors do know is that he was the last known person to see her alive, he stayed with her the night she went missing and her blood was found on an emergency door leaving her dorm, that he used.

I think he did it out of jealousy. He went to France and tracked her down after she told him she had a new boyfriend.

Leave my beer alone!

"It has a positive ripple effect across society - less disease and debilitation and revenue for governments to provide public services," Krech continued,

BS! Taxes are rising and public services are being cut in many countries because governments spend so much on their military and other rubbish.....

You are kidding me.

Gee thanks James but I think I'll pass.

"The girl was not wearing a helmet and sustained a severe head injury..."

If a person is not wearing a helmet and is seriously injured (to the head/brain, etc.) the fault in cases like this should be 100% on them. Unless we can verify the woman was negligent in her driving

Which is exactly why we almost always read the driver has been arrested in these cases. The driver is arrested while the police examine the evidence and if she is found to be not at fault she will be released without charge.

It depends on the destination first but also if it's a destination served by both, then it boils down to the flight departure times for me. I prefer using Haneda, it's closer to home and just easier to use but sometimes Narita has a better departure time.

No, they have not charged him, they have arrested him on suspicion; ****big difference.

Not in Japan. If you're arrested in Japan, you're going to get charged. It's just a formality,

Close but not quite. If you're charged in Japan there's that 99% chance or whatever it is you will be convicted but an arrest certainly does not always lead to a charge.

It's pretty rare for a driver in Japan to back out of a parking space, most people back in back into them. With combustion engine cars, if I notice one running in a parking space i pause before walking past just to make sure, that's not so easy to judge with electric cars though.

If you don't like it Japan, then next time you start a war with us, DON'T LOSE.

You might want to have a word with your military about winning wars.

Fly them over US cities instead for training, w@nkers.

The fly over our city and so far nothing bad has happened .........

You lot won't mind taking them all back and let them fly at low altitude over you then will you.

Fly them over US cities instead for training,

My neighbours are really nice and friendly, I feel very at home and comfortable in my neighbourhood. I am definitely not made to feel like an outsider, quite the opposite actually.

True, Bad Haircut, but I am increasingly beginning to think that nobody actually notices the cheap ugliness, foreigners and Japanese alike. They just see what they expect to see and leave discernment at home.

Moonraker, you're probably right. I sometimes ask my Japanese wife why there are so many hideous buildings around, and she just says Japanese appreciate the inner beauty of them and don't worry about the exteriors.

A lot of it is cost saving but a hell of a a lot of it is just lazy and unimaginative developers. I've built a couple of houses here, the first of which was a 'free plan' and the second totally custom. During the design process of the first, the developers architect was saying I should have the main living space, balcony and large sliding window on the south side, as they were doing with the other 5 houses they were building. I got where he was coming from and all that but as I pointed out to him, if we did that, the balcony and window would be right up against an apartment building behind, where as if we put it on the north side it would have a lovely, more open aspect across the quiet, narrow street to trees in front AND get more indirect light. He was peeing his pants with glee when it was done, just unfortunately for the other owners (and countless before them) he had already misadvised them.

I made sure for the 2nd place I employed an independent architect who was more in tune with real life.

I love visiting Gunma but yes many of the towns that perhaps were very pretty once upon a time look terrible now, mainly due to poor planning followed by neglect. Having looked into this project in a little more detail it looks pretty cool. The former dorm building is quite a nice one to keep and remodel.

I've just checked the venue schedule and attending that event would've made me want to blow my own head off.

AI should be used to end politicians. Surely it cannot do a worse job for the UK populace than the tories.

Well, after reading the comments here I can understand where he's coming from anyway.

Rabbit!

Why is testing still so popular in South Korea and Japan but almost extinct in many Western nations?

There is of course still testing in the UK but also a lot of emphasis is put on course work completed over a year or 2. Pinning so much on a 9 hour test is not only unfair, it really does not give an accurate score of the students true ability. Some very smart people just aren't that good at tests and some so not so smart people are very good at blagging them. A 9 hour test is just torture.

The nine-hour test

Is utterly ridiculous.

It's been 4 years since I've been back, I really can't remember!

So we have various entertainment organizations here whose staff rape and/or overwork their members, sometimes driving them to death, yet they are allowed to investigate themselves?? Are the police too busy checking bicycles or something?

Oriental Pear

Big yaaaaawn I honestly don't get how she's quite popular, it's the same old rubbish over and over again 'look at me a blonde girl in Japan speaking to locals!'. I like travel vloggers who mix it up a bit, Sabbatical is pretty good.

I read somewhere that in some countries cities overseas they've been replacing firework displays with illuminated drone displays. A bit of a different effect of course but probably still pretty cool.

Awww my heart bleeds for them.....

Yrral I get the impression America supports Israel more for biblical reasons, rather than rational reasons.

The PL is doing a grand job of destroying itself, the TV viewers will watch elsewhere if they don't get a grip with it quickly. My team is in the PL and I watch their games live but overall I now prefer watching the Championship and lower league games as they flow better.

So they're paying the government off. We can expect this to be swiftly swept under the rug and the UC will return to business as usual then.
